These incredible hair sculptures were created by Philip and his Design Team in 1983. All handcrafted, some were flexible twists created from the model’s own hair while others were created by twisting real or artificial hair around a pieces of wire. Truly works of living art!
Philip shares, “We were invited by Modern Salon Magazine to be featured as part of a continuing series by Philip Pelusi. So we created these sculpted twisted looks for the feature. We used P2 Soft Wax gently heated with a hairdryer to spread through the hair with a touch of P2 Fluid Spray as well, then twisted and placed under a hooded dryer for 15 minutes. Interestingly I shot these photos in black and white with an old Polaroid camera!”
