For my capstone project I want to dig into culture in regards to trends, fashion (hair, makeup, etc.) and look at the differences in those trends for different areas. I am a Cosmetology student getting prepared to graduate within a couple months and something I’m passionate about is hair color and different hair color applications and formulations, etc. Hair is a trend that is consistently changing and is a form of expression. Balayage is a recent color application trend that I have been working with and really enjoy. I figured making a webpage about color would be easy for me as I’m in love with the career and certainly wouldn’t get bored of the topic. In regards to my media objects, I plan on recording and editing a video of myself working on a client and utilizing my knowledge of the current trends by applying color (and cutting and styling) with a balayage technique possibly paired with the color melting technique as well. My other form of media could include some of my before and after photos, a compilation of several of them, or a second video of an additional technique. I’d like to talk about why hair is important in culture, particularly American culture, and how it allows people to express themselves as well as the other social aspects about hair and hair color. I feel I could talk about the stereotypes of different fashions and trends and how it can and does affect a person’s life.
