I went to my first hair show two weeks ago and was amazed at the many ways one can use those tacky coloured synthethic braids.
Students from the beauty department of the Civilian Conservation Corps were challenged to create their masterpieces using mainly hair extensions and their choice of accessories.
I must say the girls brought their A-game and really dug deep into their bag of tricks.
Synthetic braids were coiled, stretched out, twisted and fanned out with stunning results.
Weave pieces were also used , although not much as I thought it would.
Accessories included plastic fruits, beads, straw, a light bulb and even a plastic bird.
In the end it was the girl with the simple design who won out for her creativity. And given that the competition is held in a Caribbean island, one would almost expect that a hair style of coconut trees with a hammock swinging freely between them would get the judges nod.
