A Study of Updos for Short Hair Using Traditional Bomun (Treasure Motif)-patterned Hairpiece

This study aimed to design hair pieces and ornaments which symbolize good luck using Yeonhwamun (lotus pattern) from Buddhist Bomun (traditional motif), Bomun, Wajammun, Jeonbumun, Bounmun, Bojumun and Manjamun from Jap-bomun (eight treasures) among traditional Bomun patterns and create diverse updos for short hair for a party or wedding. It also attempted to develop hairpieces and ornaments by examining their feasibility as cosmetology products through image factor analysis. First, this paper intended to express outward beauty and auspicious meaning of the patterns by using hairpieces symbolizing Obangsaek (the color scheme of the five traditional Korean colors) from traditional Bomun in creating updos for short hair. Second, traditional Bomun-patterned hairpieces and ornaments were used in creating updos for short hair for special events such as a party and wedding. It was possible to create diverse hairstyles depending on hair length, using updos’ design techniques, C-curl and S-save. Third, according to a sensory test on updos for short hair using hairpieces and ornaments, the first factor was design, and the second factor was practicality. Analysis of hairpiece and ornament images by age has found that ‘50-60s’ revealed higher scores than ‘30-40s’ in both Yeonhwamun and Jap-bomun. In addition, satisfaction was higher when updos were created by attaching hairpieces and ornaments.
