Production of Hair Art Based on Rare Species of Flowers

Flowers are the outcome of plants. They have been commonly used as a material for art because they can express beauty with various colors and make diverse expressions possible. With the growth and development of the beauty art industry, people’s interest in hair art has increased. At the same time, materials for hair art have become diversified. For example, waste hair has been used for painterly-style art. In addition, color is emphasized for a formative meaning. In hair art created with flower images, hair is used to express flowers' diverse colors and 3-dimensional effects. The study results found the following: In Design I, dark colors were used to dynamically express the natural colors and vigor of wildflowers. In Design II, wildflowers were expressed like living creatures with the movements of petals. In Design III, dark colors were used to make flower stalks look like the janggu (Korean drum) stick, naturally expressing petals. In Design IV, the lively energy of the color yellow was expressed with flowers, vibrantly expressing leaves. In Design V, dark colors were used to create a straight look, expressing flowers and leaves with a natural violet color. In Design VI, the vigor of wildflowers was expressed with the diverse colors of flowers and petals, while their liveliness was created with leaves. This study further developed hair art into a practical field of study with rare flowers in the pictorial book of wildflowers, allowing anyone to make various attempts.
