Abstract:

There have been not many studies on the perception of special hairstyles and their images. Under such circumstances, this study attempted to suggest selection criteria and provide basic data about special hairstyles to express particular personality or images. For this, a self-administered questionnaire survey on the perception of special hairstyles and images by their type was performed against the public with the special hairstyle stimuli categorized into 3 different typical styles. Among a total of 350 questionnaires distributed, 329 copies were used for final analysis. The collected data were analyzed by frequency analysis and descriptive statistics, using SPSS 22.0, and the results found the followings: The above results confirm that special hairstyles are a good means to create a ‘unique’ image. The most popular special hairstyle was ‘dreads’. Therefore, there should be further studies on how to express diverse personalities through special hairstyles instead of focusing on a particular image. In this sense, it is anticipated that an special hairstyle would evolve into a good means of personality expression.

Abstract:

Interest in hairstyling, which is a means of expressing oneself, has increased, as has the number of people who are attempting to change their hairstyles. A considerable amount of time is required for women to change their hair back from a style that does not suit them, or for women to regrow their long hair after changing their hair to a short hairstyle that they do not like. In this paper, we propose a model combining Mask R-CNN and a generative adversarial network as a method of overlaying a new hairstyle on one’s face. Through Mask R-CNN, hairstyles and faces are more accurately separated, and new hairstyles and faces are synthesized naturally through the use of a generative adversarial network. Training was performed over a dataset that we constructed, following which the hairstyle conversion results were extracted. Thus, it is possible to determine in advance whether the hairstyle matches the face and image combined with the desired hairstyle. Experiments and evaluations using multiple metrics demonstrated that the proposed method exhibits superiority, with high-quality results, compared to other hairstyle synthesis models.

Abstract:

In appearance, hair is an important aspect. In this modern era, hairstyles are becoming more and more varied. So, a lot of teenage men have trouble determining a suitable hairstyle. One factor in determining hairstyles is the shape of their faces. Often, teenagers don't match the haircut they've chosen. It can make you feel less confident and feel less in terms of appearance. Because it requires a system to recognize the shape of the face and determine the appropriate hairstyle. The most common method of grouping is the CNN method. In this study, the recommended hairstyles of male hair models and facial shapes detected are Oval, Box, Long Square, and Round. This study has accuracy with an average presentation of 85%.

Abstract:

Despite recent successes in hair acquisition that fits a high-dimensional hair model to a specific input subject, generative hair models, which establish general embedding spaces for encoding, editing, and sampling diverse hairstyles, are way less explored. In this paper, we present GroomGen , the first generative model designed for hair geometry composed of highly-detailed dense strands. Our approach is motivated by two key ideas. First, we construct hair latent spaces covering both individual strands and hairstyles. The latent spaces are compact, expressive, and well-constrained for high-quality and diverse sampling. Second, we adopt a hierarchical hair representation that parameterizes a complete hair model to three levels: single strands, sparse guide hairs, and complete dense hairs. This representation is critical to the compactness of latent spaces, the robustness of training, and the efficiency of inference. Based on this hierarchical latent representation, our proposed pipeline consists of a strand-VAE and a hairstyle-VAE that encode an individual strand and a set of guide hairs to their respective latent spaces, and a hybrid densification step that populates sparse guide hairs to a dense hair model. GroomGen not only enables novel hairstyle sampling and plausible hairstyle interpolation, but also supports interactive editing of complex hairstyles, or can serve as strong data-driven prior for hairstyle reconstruction from images. We demonstrate the superiority of our approach with qualitative examples of diverse sampled hairstyles and quantitative evaluation of generation quality regarding every single component and the entire pipeline.

Abstract:

In this article, we review research on social factors with the main focus being on how self, social factors and fashion consciousness interact with the choice of hairstyles. By highlighting the situations of 397 Ghanaian female youth, we show how their perspectives define beautiful hairstyles and how social factors interact with the choice of hairstyle with fashion consciousness as a mediator. Using social actual-concept and social factors on behaviours as theoretical frameworks, we show the influence of religious influence, views of social group members, attractiveness and uniqueness on choice of hairstyle. Mediator analyses indicate that fashion consciousness explains the interactions among views of social group members and attractiveness with the choice of hairstyle. Implications for marketing and future directions for research on choice of hairstyle are suggested.

Abstract:

A modern society has rapidly changed under the influence of mass media and social media. As a result, trend patterns have become shorter and more diverse. Under these circumstances, men as well as women have shown interest in beauty, and personality and aesthetic desire have become more varied. This study attempted to design and develop men’s wigs by applying and reinterpreting characteristics of length changes in men’s hairstyles based on standard men’s haircut. For this, related data were collected through literature searches, academic papers and the Internet information, and hairstyle changes and trends were analyzed. In this study, 8 different haircuts and 14 different hairstyles were created by using both standard men’s haircuts and trendy hairstyles.

Abstract:

Traditional GAN-based image generation networks cannot accurately and naturally fuse surrounding features in local image generation tasks, especially in hairstyle generation tasks. To this end, we propose a novel transformer-based GAN for new hairstyle generation networks. The network framework comprises two modules: Face segmentation (F) and Transformer Generative Hairstyle (TGH) modules. The F module is used for the detection of facial and hairstyle features and the extraction of global feature masks and facial feature maps. In the TGH module, we design a transformer-based GAN to generate hairstyles and fix the details of the fusion part of faces and hairstyles in the new hairstyle generation process. To verify the effectiveness of our model, CelebA-HQ (Large-scale CelebFaces Attribute) and FFHQ (Flickr-Faces-HQ) are adopted to train and test our proposed model. In the image evaluation test used, FID, PSNR, and SSIM image evaluation methods are used to test our model and compare it with other excellent image generation networks. Our proposed model is more robust in terms of test scores and real image generation.

Abstract:

For the past forty years NT scholars have been divided over the text of 1 Cor 11.2–16. Some see this pericope as addressing the issue of head coverings, while others see the issue as one of hairstyles. Although Stefan Lösch was the first to advocate the case for long flowing hairstyles, credit for starting this enduring controversy must be given to Abel Isaksson. This article investigates Isaksson's claim for the hairstyle thesis and concludes that a study of the verb κατακαλυπτω will permit a translation only of textile head coverings.

Abstract:

Mass Christianization of the peoples of Yakutia (Eastern Siberia) at the end of the 18th century led to the development of a demotic Christianity throughout the 19th century. There were new rules, according to which a woman was not permitted to appear in public with her head uncovered, and therefore the marking function of the hairstyles became obsolete. This could explain the absence of rituals and rules associated with women’s hair and hairstyles in the Yakut culture of the 19th–20th centuries. The aim of this study is to prove a hypothesis, according to which pendants of hair ornamentation duplicate braids, and studying the pendants of the headrest ‘nachel’nik’ allows recreation of women’s hairstyle that had been in use before the period of mass Christianization. The article is based on the analysis of written, material, and visual sources of the 18th–19th centuries. Information about the hairstyles and adornments of the Yakuts is contained within the records of travelers of the 18th–19th centuries. Among the ethnographic works on the peoples of Siberia, one can find drawings depicting maidens and women, where particular attention is given to their hair. These materials were correlated with the data of the archaeological excavations of Yakut female burials of the 18th century. The obtained results were compared with the materials from the 19th century — photographs of women in national costumes and jewelry from museum collections. According to the results of the study, it can be stated that there was a tradition of changing maiden’s hairstyle to woman’s hairstyle in the context of the wedding ritualism. New rules of conduct, social roles, especially regulations on the appearance of women, were formalized in the society in the 19th century with the mass Christianization of the peoples of Yakutia. There were new rules, according to which a woman was not permitted to appear in public with her head uncovered, and therefore the marking function of hairstyles became obsolete. This could explain the absence of rituals and rules associated with women’s hair and hairstyles in the Yakut culture of the 19th–20th centuries.

Abstract:

In this work, the authors combine the AR and HCI techniques to develop a Markerless AR-based Hairstyle Simulation System (MARHSS). This system helps hair stylists to know well the expectation and need of customers. Before the hair cut, the customers can select their preferred hairstyles from MARHSS. Then, the system will simulate the hair style on the customer’s face through the AR-based image. After the system design, the System Usability Scale (SUS) with seventy-two participants were employed to evaluate the interface design of MARHSS. The research results showed that the system is usable; participants emotionally satisfied with the system; the system provides a good environment for hair stylists and customers to discuss the hairstyles.

Abstract:

Many computer graphics applications make use of virtual humans. Methods for modelling and rendering hair are needed so that hairstyles can be added to the virtual humans. Modelling and rendering hair is challenging due to the large number of hair strands and their geometric properties, the complex lighting effects that occur among the strands of hair, and the complexity and large variation of human hairstyles. While methods have been developed for generating hair, no methods exist for generating African hair, which differs from hair of other ethnic groups. This thesis presents methods for modelling and rendering African hair. Existing hair modelling and rendering techniques are investigated, and the knowledge gained from the investigation is used to develop or enhance hair modelling and rendering techniques to produce three different forms of hair commonly found in African hairstyles. The different forms of hair identified are natural curly hair, straightened hair, and braids or twists of hair. The hair modelling techniques developed are implemented as plug-ins for the graphics program LightWave 3D. The plug-ins developed not only model the three identified forms of hair, but also add the modelled hair to a model of a head, and can be used to create a variety of African hairstyles. The plug-ins significantly reduce the time spent on hair modelling. Tests performed show that increasing the number of polygons used to model hair increases the quality of the hair produced, but also increases the rendering time. However, there is usually an upper bound to the number of polygons needed to produce a reasonable hairstyle, making it feasible to add African hairstyles to virtual humans. The rendering aspects investigated include hair illumination, texturing, shadowing and antialiasing. An anisotropic illumination model is developed that considers the properties of African hair, including the colouring, opacity and narrow width of the hair strands. Texturing is used in several instances to create the effect of individual strands of hair. Results show that texturing is useful for representing many hair strands because the density of the hair in a texture map does not have an effect on the rendering time. The importance of including a shadowing technique and applying an anti-aliasing method when rendering hair is demonstrated. The rendering techniques are implemented using the RenderMan Interface and Shading Language. A number of complete African hairstyles are shown, demonstrating that the techniques can be used to model and render African hair successfully.

Abstract:

Hair, the most malleable part of the human body, lends itself to the most varied forms of impermanent modifications. The resulting hairstyles convey social practices and norms, and may be regarded as part of the “representation of self” and an integral element in the maintenance and structuring of society. In this thesis, a systematic and quantative investigation has been undertaken of the structural relationships between variations in hairstyles and principal changes in social organisation in ancient Egypt from the Protodynastic to the end of the Old Kingdom (3,350-2,181 BC), a period that witnessed the rise, consolidation and eventually breakdown of centralised authority. The results reveal that hairstyles were linked to the identity of individuals and social groups, such as men, women, children and the elderly. Hairstyles were used as a means of displaying status. After experimentation with a broad spectrum of hairstyles during the Protodynastic and early Dynasty I, an institutionalised canon for hairstyles was established, coinciding with the creation of administrative institutions. These codified hairstyles continued to serve as the norms for identifying members of the administration or signs of authority. By the end of the Old Kingdom, the hairstyles of the elite had been adopted by the lower officials of the increased bureaucracy and provincial elites as representations of their newly acquired power and status. Although initially the majority of the men had their hair cut short, modifications of short hair and the adoption of mid- and shoulder-length hair became progressively common. The use of certain hairstyles was restricted to the higher social offices, with longer hair being emblematic of power and divinity. Women, by contrast, initially had long hair with greater variety occurring by Dynasty I and a more restricted array from Dynasty II onwards. However, long hair was predominant among women of all social statuses in all periods. Long hair may have thus been related to the perception of women as mothers (responsible for childbirth and nursing), and hence their perceived role as directly linked with procreation and fecundity. Although the adoption of the tripartite by high officials was related to this ‘generative’ aspect of feminine hairstyles, it was primarily in imitation of the God Osiris and his regenerative powers.

1944 m Lietuvoje prasidėjo partizaninis karas. Daugelis vyrų išejo į miškus kovoti su okupantais. Šioje kovoje neliko nuošalyje ir moterys, jų vaidmuo buvo labai svarbus. Prireikus jos, petys petin kovojo su vyrais prieš enkavedistų būrius, slaugė sužeistuosius, palaikė ryšius tarp skirtingų partizanų apygardų. Ryšininkės perduodavo svarbę slaptą informaciją: apie susitikimo vietas, slaptažodžius, naujai įsikūrusius bunkerius – slėptuves, perduodavo slaptus dokumentus. Kad jų nesuciuptų ir neperimtų slaptos informacijos, moterys perduodamus laiškelius slepdavo. Jos buvo išradingos. Lankydamasi druskininkų rezistencijos ir tremties muziejuje sužinojau, jog laiškeliai buvo slepiami ir plaukuose. Ši istorija mane sužavejo, tad nusprendžiau šią idėją perteikti magistro baigiamajame darbe. Savo kūrinyje vaizduoju 9 lietuvaitėms būdingas ilgų plaukų šukuosenas, kuriose paslepiu savają žinutę. Mano perduodamoje žinutėje įrašyti žodžiai iš „Tauro“ apygardos ryšininkės žvalgės Julijos Čepaitytės – Simanaitienės slapyvardžiu Undinė sukurtos baladės apie partizano likimą. Ši baladė skirta partizanui „Kovui“ Jonukui Stačiokui atminti. Po balade autorė parašė. „ Šias eilutes sukūriau 1950 m. liepos 10-11 d., pati būdama be namų ir laisvės, netekusi savo pirmosios tikrosios meilės ir karštai mylinčio tikro draugo, kuris buvo tarsi švyturys pavergtoje tėvynėje. Tavęs aš niekad nepamiršiu.“ Manau baladė puikiai atskleidžia priežastis dėl ko Lietuvos moterys taip pat išėjo į miškus kariauti... [toliau žr. visą tekstą]
In 1944 the partisan war in Lithuania began. The most of the men went to woods to fight against occupants. In this fight the woman’s role was also very important. They were fighting against NKVD the same strong as men do; they also were nursing injured people, keeping connection between different partisans’ counties as postal workers (signallers). Signallers were transmitting very important confidential information: about meeting places, passwords, newly constructed hiding places – bunkers, transferring secret documents. In fact that women could be caught and secret information taken, they were hiding all mails. And women were very resourceful. Visiting ‘’Resistance and Deportation Museum’’ in Druskininkai I’ve got news that secret mails were hiding in women hair. This history improved me so much so I decided to convey this idea in my Master's thesis. In my work you can see nine different long hairdressings what characteristic of Lithuanian women. In all these hairdressings I hide my secret message. In my transmitting message there are words from ballad about partisan’s destiny which was created by signaller Julija Cepaityte – Simantiene (known as Undine) from “Tauras” county. This ballad is dedicated to partisan Jonukas Staciokas “Kovas”. After the ballad writer wrote: “These lines I created in 1950, July 10-11. itself being without a home and freedom, lost my first true love and real hot loving friend who was like a beacon subjugated homeland.

This study raised and analysed issues related to kinky hair, understood as a territory of insurgencies in reexistence aesthetics in the decoloniality of bodies, beings and knowledges made invisible by the hegemonic Eurocentric cultural pattern. The research, carried out in the poor areas of São Paulo, focused on cultural collective movements, in which young Afro-Brazilians manifest themselves through Black and peripheral literary narratives and performances, with poetry readings, songs, plays, blogs, magazines, adornments, clothing, grafitti, tattoos, particularly kinky hairstyles in intercultural, intertextual and mediatic relations, expressing their Blackness, in a perspective of a “corporeal semiology”. They are current cultural identity practices in a productive dialogue with the past, in a continuous Afro diasporic struggle for culture and (self) representation in the racial relations of modernity

Abstract:

This thesis aims to allow the meanings engendered by various black hairstyle choices to emerge as discursive texts with which to further explore issues of black identity in post-apartheid South Africa. It seeks to identify what, if any, new discursive spaces and possibilities are operational in the post-apartheid capitalist context, and how identities are moulded by, and in tum, influence these possibilities. Operating within a discourse analytic approach, this research did not intend to establish fixed and generalisable notions of identity, but by unpacking the discursive baggage attached to historically loaded subjectivities it is concerned with reflecting identity as an ongoing and reflexive project. Entailing a diverse selection of texts, the analysis includes self-generated texts (stemming from interviews, a focus group and participant observation), and public domain texts (stemming from online and print media articles). Chapters 5 - 9 constitute the textual analysis. Using a consumer hair care product as a text, chapter 5 serves as an introduction to discourses surrounding black hair as a variously constructed object. This focus is concerned, more specifically, with the construction of black hair as a 'natural' object in chapter 6. Chapter 7 examines black hair gemonies and the " problematic classification and de/classification of class and consumer identities. Discourses pertaining to the construction and positioning of gendered and sexual subjectivities are explored in chapter 8. Finally, chapter 9 is concerned with the operations of discourses as they function to construct essentialised or hybrid conceptions of identity. The implications for black identity construction in post-apartheid South Africa are discussed in chapter 10 alongside a deconstruction of the research method and researcher positioning.

Abstract:

Hair is an important feature to form character appearance in both film and video game industry. Hair grooming and combing for virtual characters was traditionally an exclusive task for professional designers because of its requirements for both technical manipulation and artistic inspiration. However, this manual process is time-consuming and further limits the flexibility of customised hairstyle modelling. In addition, it is hard to manipulate virtual hairstyle due to intrinsic hair shape. The fast development of related industrial applications demand an intuitive tool for efficiently creating realistic hairstyle for non-professional users. Recently, image-based hair modelling has been investigated for generating realistic hairstyle. This thesis demonstrates a framework Struct2Hair that robustly captures a hairstyle from a single portrait input. Specifically, the 2D hair strands are traced from the input with the help of image processing enhancement first. Then the 2D hair sketch of a hairstyle on a coarse level is extracted from generated 2D hair strands by clustering. To solve the inherently ill-posed single-view reconstruction problem, a critical hair shape database has been built by analysing an existing hairstyle model database. The critical hair shapes is a group of hair strands which possess similar shape appearance and close space location. Once the prior shape knowledge is prepared, the hair shape descriptor (HSD) is introduced to encode the structure of the target hairstyle. The HSD is constructed by retrieving and matching corresponding critical hair shape centres in the database. The full-head hairstyle is reconstructed by uniformly diffusing the hair strands on the scalp surface under the guidance of extracted HSD. The produced results are evaluated and compared with the state-of-the-art image based hair modelling methods. The findings of this thesis lead to some promising applications such as blending hairstyles to populate novel hair model, editing hairstyle (adding fringe hair, curling and cutting/extending hairstyle) and a case study of Bas-relief hair modelling on pre-processed hair images.

Abstract:

The hair of indigenous people of Africa varies from the north to the south of the continent. Although the variation in hair colour from light brown to black occurs, the most significant difference is in the curls which are tightest, and spiral, in indigenous sub Saharan Africans. African hair for the purpose of this thesis refers to the latter hair phenotype. The unique morphology of this hair type is associated with specific responses to grooming. In addition hairstyle preferences may be influenced by politics and fashion. Specific scalp disorders have been anecdotally reported to be more prevalent in Africans. These are acne (folliculitis) keloidalis (AKN), central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA) and traction alopecia (TA). For many years all these conditions have been suspected to have a causal association with hairstyles. However, preliminary investigation suggested a lack of population studies demonstrating the latter association. In addition the possible influence of the unique African hair follicle on disease pathogenesis had not been determined. The aims of this thesis were to: Present a systematic 1. literature review of published prevalence and incidence data on the above three conditions. 2. Conduct cross sectional studies to investigate the prevalence of AKN, CCCA and TA in a population of school children and adults and the prevalence of different hairstyles, and to describe any associations between hairstyles and disease. 3. Develop and test for reliability a new severity scoring system for TA the commonest of the above conditions [the marginal traction alopecia severity (M-TAS) scoring instrument]. 4. Evaluate the determinants of both TA presence and severity in African females using data from our cross sectional studies in school children and adults.
