Just for Fun – Video: Hair Styles Through the Ages

Hair Dress Through the Ages is a tongue-in-cheek video about historic hair styles that makes the point about how silly trying to be trendy can be. Incredibly, it is distributed by the State of Georgia, Department of Education. Citizens’ tax dollars, hard at work. We bring it to you just for laughs, of course. :>)

My Nappy Roots Explores Social and Political History of Black Hair-itage

My Nappy Roots: A Journey through Black Hair-itage, the award winning documentary on black hair featuring Kim Fields, Malcolm-Jamal Warner and Vivica A. Fox, is being screened in cities throughout the world during Black History month. The feature-length documentary displays an array of various techniques and styles including the conk, press and curl, the afro, elaborate hair extension styles, the jheri curl, and locs.

Each style marks a distinctive time in American history, politics, and African American culture. The film explores the mindset that created the never-ending debate of “good hair verses bad hair” and the role media and politics have played as an instigator.

Holiday Hair: Feel Free to Fantasize

Wondering what to do with your hair for New Year’s Eve? Here’s a little inspiration for you from Hair Wars, the annual battle of “hair entertainers”.

Hair Wars started in Detroit nightclubs in 1985 as an informal stage show for local hair stylists to show off their hair creations, which include an enormous range of hair extensions. The show celebrates and rewards outrageousness. Stylists compete to create the most unusual and memorable looks. Gravity is routinely defied. Video clips from Hair Wars 2008 are here. The 2009 Hair Wars show will take place in Detroit on Sunday, July 19 at the Hilton Hotel Troy.

At the 2008 show, more than 2,000 people watched 250 models strut the runway. There were women with helicopters on their heads, (“hairy copters) propellers spinning. Another woman balanced a barbecue grill complete with spatulas and tongs in her long locks. Just when it seemed things could get wilder, a lady sauntered down the runway with a four-foot python zipped inside her do. More »

The Root: Five Obama Hair Don’ts

The Root, the online “black perspective magazine” says “Our 44th president can change many things in the next four years — his hair isn’t one of them.”

“The high-top fade worked for Kid, and we love Charles Barkley’s shiny chrome dome. We even have a soft spot for James Brown’s process.” Sadly, The Root says, none of these styles can make the cut in the White House.

The Root is published by Washingtonpost.Newsweek Interactive. Its website’s “About Us says: “The Root aims to be an unprecedented departure from traditional American journalism, raising the profile of black voices in mainstream media and engaging anyone interested in black culture around the world.”

We do wonder whether Michelle Obama may ever have hair extensions.

Just for Fun: Horses with Hair Extensions

Even horses can have bad hair days. And when they do, hair extensions can help. Australian photographer Julian Wolkenstein is known for his amusing projects like these horses with hair extensions,

According to Wolkenstein, it took up to five hours to do each horse’s do, and he says the horses enjoyed the pampering. “One of the things we learned from the test shoot is that a horse’s head is incredibly big,” Wolkenstein told FStop Magazine.

There was no horsing around on the set: the shoot required a lot of hard work. Wolkenstein had never photographed a horse before and his first attempt was a disaster. The horse wasn’t in the mood to be dolled up and the flashes from the strobes didn’t add to the comfort level. A second attempt using a horse accustomed to the limelight and almost 5 hours of hair styling offered better results

The horse photos have been featured in several exhibitions, and in about posters Wolkenstein sent to 500 people worldwide,

Paris Runways: Spring 2009 Designer Collections Are Hair(y) Extensions

“If there were ever a good time to invest in extensions, spring 2009 is it,” says New York Magazine. The French twists at Yves Saint Laurent were set with brightly colored hair extensions. John Galliano and Comme des Garçons showed huge white wigs, and Maison Martin Margiela and Sonia Rykiel matched hair extensions to jackets made of hair extension fiber.

Bernhard Willhelm’s braided bun, above, was pretty tame. But from St. Laurent to Galliano,
Christian Dior and Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, designers took hair to the extremes on Paris runways for their Spring 2009 collections.

Paris runway hairstyles ranged from the sublime – with Yves Saint Laurent’s color-infused classic up-do – to the ridiculous – with Jean-Charles de Castelbajac’s updated Cousin Itt look. What’s up with that!?

Goth Is In, for Hair Extensions and Runway

Goth style, in designer clothes and hair extensions is in for winter 2008 and Spring 2009. As the New York Times noted, “A recent proliferation of Haute Goth on the runways of designers like Alexander McQueen, John Galliano for Dior, Rick Owens, Gareth Pugh and the spidery crochet webs of Rodarte (not to mention various darkly inclined Belgian designers) suggests, once again, that black still is, and probably always will be the new black.” Givenchy showed skinny trousers, severe jacket and lots of metal hardware, crucifixes and chains.

HairFreax, a UK-based company that makes Cybergoth hair extensions, mixes wool and easy-care Kanekalon modacrylic fiber to make its fabulous, and slightly dangerous-looking Goth hair extension creations of dreads, braids, and hairpieces.

The Gothic fashion look is a trend that can be worn as dramatic, mysterious, vampish or as soft as you prefer. For the more cautious, simple dark lips and nails, lace black tights and a black based ensemble will soon take you there, says Fashion Era.
