 Okay, so had SO many different ideas for this... again. And finally went with this last one. Just in case y'all are wondering, when I wear this stuff, I only wear about half of it at a time - it's HEAVY! The best part is that my natural hair is visible at the bottom - though I'm probably the only one that can see it.

Processing - removed the background, gave my body a little fixing up, new layers to add dreamy effect, sharpen, contrast, color balance, add candle flame.

Interesting take on this, although I have to say I do not understand the light in the hand. Also, I am sure there is a technical reason for why you did this, but i would like to see less space on the right. Nice picture!

Cool image idea, but wish it was sharper and maybe more light on top of her head.

Very interesting. But you lose the hair on top of the head to the dark. 6

Nice colours and detail in the braiding but I don't see much hair. The head fades into the background. The flame is a nice touch but doesn't really add to the challenge theme of hair.

Love how this is composed, the simplicity of the background and the intense textures in the hair. One of my favourites for this challenge.
