Hairdos With Handles

'Once Upon a Time' by Maite Guerrero Gets a Handle on Sky-High Updos

— December 6, 2009 — Fashion
'Once Upon a Time' by Maite Guerrero is a one-stop shop for fashion fantasy. There are wondrous backdrops, avant-garde hairstyles and a hot model. What's not to like? My favorite aspect of this shoot, however, is the hairstyle in the first three images, which features a braided handle-like protrusion.

Check out more shots of 'Once Upon a Time' above, and keep clicking for more features that accentuate out-of-this-world hairstyles.
