The bouffant was in and big hair was beautiful, if only for one night. The ladies — and one gent — of the International Fantasy Hair Competition proudly wore their hair hats high in the name of art and a good cause.
The competition attracted stylists and models from across the country with prizes ranging from $1,000 to $7,500. All proceeds from the hair-art show went to the New Hampshire Food Bank.
In the final minutes before the show began, stone-faced stylists put the finishing touches on their chicken-wired and pomaded masterpieces. What emerged were divas with heads decked out in pink lilies, forests of furry trees, and coifs of cotton candy.
Top honors went to model Amaris Brown of Detroit and stylist Kevin Carter of the Detroit suburb Farmington Hills for “Proud Peacock,” a big spray of feathers with hair shaped into what looked like the bird itself.
