whose hair

"A hairstyle as a statement. Hair as part of a person's identity and why we recognize them."
These almost philosophical reflections on hair cuts are not from us but from Christina Christoforou, a London based illustrator and artist who's book "Whose Hair" has recently been published. The book contains 200 hand-drawn illustrations of the hairstyles of musicians, artists, movie stars, ... leaving their faces blank. While flipping the pages, one has to agree with the author on the high correlation between a person's character and his or her hairstyle, but at the same time you can also just see it as a "fun and ironic take on the global celebrity phenomenon" by guessing the name with each hair cut. The answers are at the back of the book :=)
