Hello hello! It’s been a bit! I’m a great documenter, working on the sharing part 😅 but I was invited to do hair for the lovely Lyra Barillas! She is an amazing actress, model, and cat mom. She wanted some new work for her portfolio and I happily agreed! Luckily we also got this work published in Lady Gunn Magazine. Check it out below for more images from the shoot!

Next we played with an updo version of this style. She has tons of lush hair but it’s heavy so lots of Bobby pins and small sections were needed. I did a partial French roll and added pin curls back in to cover it a bit and keep the texture.

Next were warrior style braids. It screams Jason Mamoa in Game of Thrones in the best way 😂 strong, powerful and practical for battle. I liked keeping the styles a bit tousled so I fluffed up the braids a bit instead of making it super sleek.

The last hair look is my absolute favorite because we get a little edge action! I wish I could have done more but we were cutting it close on time and energy but I’m so happy with how it turned out. We went for perfect pulled back ponytail with these not so baby hair accents and it wired to give her extra intensity on the eyes.

We started with some classic 50’s pin curls. This made things easy for multiple styles and eventually styling her into finger waves. Her hair is long so it’s not the full hair helmet that we traditionally know but I think the point came across.
