Cotton Candy Coif Captures

The Michael David Adams' 'Beauty School Dropout' Series is Super Sweet

— March 30, 2012 — Fashion
Beauty artists and fashion stylists have been succumbing to their sweet tooth lately, and the 'Beauty School Dropout' photo shoot is another example of the direction they are going in. Instead of pastries and bubblegum, however, this series focuses on cotton candy-like coifs. The pink and blue dye jobs and frizzed-out curls are as fluffy and delicious-looking as the carnival food staple.

Shot by Michael David Adams, a photographer working and living in New York City, the Beauty School Dropout photo shoot is bold and feminine, just like the pop stars it was inspired by. These celebrities include Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj and Charlotte Free. The fun locks are complemented by equally vibrant makeup. This is one 'Beauty School Dropout' who has decided to make a colorful statement .
