Netted Faces & Mollusk Hair

The photo series 'Big Hair' by Saima Altunkaya brings together a number of avant-garde sculptural hairstyles and some serious funk. Whether it's with giant mohawks, super-sized pie-shaped red Mohawks, a teardrop-shaped updo, or a curly hairdo that looks like a hedge, Altunkaya knows how to bring the hairstyle heat.

Implications - ‘Big Hair’ by Saima Altunkaya is really provocative and visually compelling. I think taking a net and placing it over the model's face and hair is a great concept for a photoshoot. I had to go through this collection twice and you will probably want to do the same.
