Key words to describe hair.

Pip.

When I think of the character Pip from Great Expectations I think of the word passionate to describe him. Pip is passionate about many things. Estella,becoming a gentleman, and transformation.

In terms of hair I imagine this hairstyle to describe the word passionate. As its a soft, messy sort of style. That implies that you have had to of tried something in order to get this style slightly messy. You can tell that the hair also began as a neat hair style. The hair looks as if it tells a story of trials.












Estella.

I chose the word cruel to describe Estella. As she acts very cold hearted towards Pip but we later learn this is due to how she has been taught to behave. Cruel looking hair would have a striking look.

Which is why I chose this hair style, as it creates a mysterious, cruel look to me. As the straight hair looks sharp, and the curves at the bottom could represent her raising men's hopes, as if she has them wrapped around her little finger. I also love the colour as it's could symbolism red for danger.












Miss Havisham.


For Miss Havisham I used the word eccentric to describe her hair. As the way she lives is just crazy. This is also communicated through her hair. Her hair would've started off neat and up with curls. But then over the years the hair has grown. Considering the living conditions I am guessing she may have had some sort of head lice causing her to scratch her head.  This hair is big, has a once tamed structure. The color is faded much like her and almost a moldy colour. Like how Pip described the house is sort of how her hair looks to me.
