Hocus Pocus

Tis the season when the separation between stylish, surreal and spooky is at its thinnest and we are susceptible to strange and compulsive urges to experiment--with our hair.  We are given permission to be unabashedly creative and subversive.

Tease it, spike it, stripe it and reconstruct it. Or braid doll faces in it. This is America.

Let's be honest, disguise is the most desirable part of Halloween, excluding gobs of free candy, inexpensive lingerie and pretending it's NOT the fiftieth time you've cried after watching Hocus Pocus. 

It's a sad movie. Don't judge us.

How do you plan to incorporate your coif in your Halloween hair fantasy?

The Dreamtime: Inspiration

Braids are a beautiful achievement on their own, so you can imagine our glee when we discovered these hypnotizing works on paper by So Yoon Lym.

The Dreamtime series draws inspiration from aboriginal myths of creation, undulating landscapes and chronicles the journeys of both the braider and wearer.

We are particularly appreciative of the subtle movement and meditative detail of the images.

Here are a few of our favorites:
