A Study of Greek and Roman Mythology-based Creative Updos

This study aimed to develop creative updos after investigating the symbolism of goddesses in Greek-Roman mythology and reinterpreting it in a creative manner. For this, five innovative updos were developed based on five goddesses: Hera, Persephone, Demeter, Flora, and Tethys. In Hera, the Queen of Olympus, voluminous hair was emphasized with large rolls. A green color, symbolizing an elegant and dignified peacock, was used, and a braiding technique was applied repeatedly. In Persephone, black and brown colors were adopted. To express the splendor of the Queen of the Underworld, a basket braiding technique was applied. In Demeter, the Goddess of Grain and Agriculture, voluminous rolls were created on the back of a mannequin head. At the nape, an ear of rice was created using a three-strand braiding technique. In Flora, the Goddess of Flowers and Spring, a floral coronet was expressed with diverse colors. In Tethys, the Goddess of the Sea, dark green and khaki colors, which symbolize the deep sea and seaweed, respectively, were used. To express top shell and wave shapes, a half-ring roll technique was adopted. This study attempted to enhance the formative value of hair design by connecting the ancient times with the modern era in a natural manner. It is expected that it could meet customer needs such as various esthetic personalities and uniqueness with more diverse options.
