Light Painting Technique-based Creative Hairstyling

In the early stages of hair art, up-styles were created using a mannequin or a model, and waste hair was mainly used. Recently, however, diverse hairstyles have been developed using a hybrid approach through the reanalysis of paintings and formative art styles. In addition, various materials have been adopted. Even though some previous hairstyles have used light painting, it has recently been more recognized as a tool. This study attempted to create light-painting styles, using light painting as an object, not as a tool. For this, long-exposure photography was employed. The goal was to use a light-painting technique, which itself becomes a work, not to suggest a style through photography. Among many light-painting tools, 3 tools with which diverse styles were expressed with light: Pixelsticks, optical fibers, and light panels. Then, hairstyling methods were attempted by creating abstract hair works through light-based light painting. In this study, a total of 8 different hairstyles were created to suggest new styling methods, using light painting under 8 different circumstances. Light painting can be expressed with dots, lines, and planes. This study adopted 3 tools: Pixelsticks, optical fibers, and light panels. These tools offer diverse colors and options, such as brightness control, thereby enabling various expressions. This study created hairstyles through light painting. It is anticipated that hairstyling techniques would become more diverse and further evolve, using a wide variety of materials.
