When I was writing
the series, one of the features which I enjoyed developing the most was the
Protectors' hair. I think there's just something incredibly cool about unusual
hair colours and it also helps to mark the Protectors out, making them stand
out in their extraordinary world. It took me a while to decide if I wanted the
Protectors' hair to be streaked with colour, or to completely change though and
even now, when I see a picture of someone with completely blue hair, I wonder
if I've made the right decision! Recently, it has also become fairly fashionable; the trend was even featured in the Sunday Times: http://www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/sto/style/fashion/Beauty/article1194493.ece
I've used Pinterest
to collect a few of my favourite pictures of colourful hair, to give you an idea of
what I envision the Protectors looking like - and perhaps to inspire you to try
it out for yourself. The school where I work is getting everyone to dress up as
a book character for comic relief and I'm currently trying to decide whether to
be a Shadowhunter, or buy some hair chalk and go as a Protector...
Helian Hair
Brizan Hair
Sephan Hair
Arcan Hair - I couldn't find pictures of hair with silver streaks in it, but I did find some very cool pics of entirely silver hair
Also,because I couldn't resist...
So pretty!
I am currently a Brizan, yay!
ReplyDeleteAwesome :) Whenever I see someone with coloured streaks in their hair, I now assign them to realms...
DeleteThose pictures make me want to dye my hair!
ReplyDeleteMe too! They look amazing.
DeleteI think of doing Sephan hair, as I only need to dye green my bleached tips :3
ReplyDeleteAwesome :) I've never dyed my hair, so I think the closest I would go to having Protector hair would be to use chalk. Perhaps I'll be a Helian for Halloween this year.
DeleteI'm a Helian! Yay!
