It spoils the affect to even say this, but the shot is of my stylist’s hair mannequin. He was trying out some new highlights, or an undo or whatever, and had just washed its hair. Just like a real person with real hair, it was a fright, full of tangles. But at this salon, they play Fashion Week runway shoes on video repeat, so I was all pumped to do something artistic and truly, I saw a lot of hair that was more out there than this.

I used Jazz to change the color balance, crop, and blur the edges. Then for the second one, I opened the pic in Photo Toaster and used a black and white filter.
