The photo series 'Big Hair' by Saima Altunkaya brings together a number of [avant-garde sculptural hairstyles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche) and some serious funk. Whether it's with giant mohawks, super-sized pie-shaped red Mohawks, a teardrop-shaped updo, or a [curly hairdo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curl-powered-pop-up) that looks like a hedge, Altunkaya knows how to bring the hairstyle heat.

**Implications** - â€˜Big Hairâ€™ 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.
