Catwalk Hair ideas

I found this painting in the British Portrait Museum in London yesterday and it made me start thinking about some ideas for hair design. I'm going to draw up some ideas and see how they turn out. I love the white feather going down the centre of the head scarf and I'm wanting to incorporate that onto a hair design which portrays beauty but has a strong quirky tribal edge to it...
 


I drew this image including a plait from the back of the hair to the front and feathered and curled hair at the front of the face to reference tribal head pieces and to reverse the appearance of the image above.
All of the other images below have been created by playing around with plaits and big back combed sections of hair across the middle section of the head whether it is in front of the face or going along the back of the head towards the neck. I have shown different colours and textures which I could play with using coloured hair sprays, fabrics and other materials to create different looks.





During my practical lesson, I decided to play around with simple but effective hair styles which could be useful to take into consideration when choosing specific hair designs for my catwalk look.
This one in particular is using a hair sausage to create a large bun on the top of the head referencing the tribal women and men who carry items on their heads or who wear colourful and high head scarfs. Like the example below...

 This was the second hair style I chose to try out which mirrors my previous drawings of the hair falling down the center of the head and instead of being wild and curly, it is tamed and rapped around a hair sausage to secture it and give it a structure.
