British Hair Awards 2016: This Finalist Afro Collection Is A Gorgeous Modern Tribute To African Culture
When it comes to hairdressing, Lisa Farrall is one of the best in her field. Her collection, Armour, won first place in 3 categories at The Black Hair Awards and was also one of the finalists in the prestigious British Hair Awards 2016.
Armour (makeup by Suhyun Kang-Emeryshot and shot by Luke Nugent) is a tribute to African culture. It represents beauty and strength, which is usually difficult to capture.

I really like this one. She reminds of a character that could be in a fantasy movie.

She looks like a superhero/villian from a marvel or D.C comic I love it!

I got this far and I have to say I don't see why they all had to have such psycho contacts, or why so many were practically naked. I thought this was a hair exhibition... As for the hairstyles, most of them are very artsy and cool, some seem dangerously flammable :D The white markings on the faces/skin are very beautiful, maybe the high point for me. This one I'm commenting on is very freaky though, especially the metal links in the hair. Like a female version of Data and that's where you peel the android's skin off to get to the circutry :D

Just why all the blue and other contacts...makes the models seem less human why their eyes look fake...

Going to agree with everyone else who didn't appreciate the contacts. LOVED the hairstyles, but the contacts were a distracting, instead of supporting, feature.

Agreed, they could have done without. Its a celebration of African Culture, not western. Lose the vampire eyes.

I like how it looks but it also looks very fake like they used a Lot of Photoshop

Great hair. Heavily photoshopped overall (skin and makeup etc), but well done.

I agree on the photoshop, it's way too much. The models look amazing and they are probably gorgeous without all that retouching.

OMG She is beautiful! Interesting how futuristic the hair seems though it comes from a traditional culture. My parents are always telling me to speak my native tongue of Tamil often, as it is important to keep one's roots.

Why would you even consider doing this with your hair. If you have enough time to do all this, then go read a book or do the laundry.

Magnificent hairstyles but the lenses are not necessary they just make the models look frightening. The body art is good but u get easily distracted.
Dana Rodic 7 years ago
Btw I am well aware of existence of black ppl with bright eyes or blonde hair. If this was the case here it might be interesting.

It looks great and I also was impressed by the leather clothes.

why is everyone focuses on the contact lenses as being unnatural?!? seriously? have you never seen a black person with green and blue eyes? (google it, and for the other ignorants: there are even blond black people) Besides the point of Art is not to comfort you about your vision of the world, but to trigger you and make you visualise smth else. The artist is very talented and so is the photograph. these pictures are beautiful and each holds so many details to study from the Masai jewellery to the body paint. Good work.
