Abstract

This study attempted to examine the formative characteristics of hair-by-night styles from the Korean beauty skills competition and analyze its meaning. The formative analysis of hair-by-night styles from the Korean beauty skills competition is a must-have tool in understanding the value and meaning of hairstyles through the analysis of visual elements. It is a field to be studied and developed continuously to obtain better results in aesthetics and design. It is anticipated that emphasis on the importance of such formative analysis would be available as basic data needed to increase and further develop applicability to diverse fields. This study analyzed shape, texture, color and direction flows, and the results found the followings: In terms of the formative characteristics of hair by night, symmetric forms were observed. In addition, triangular structure was designed at the front in an elegant and stable form. They can be defined as a dinner-party style which maximizes brilliance, using at least two different hairpieces, maintaining their creative style and uniformity. Hair directions and shapes at the front, side and nape varied depending on the position of a hairpiece. This study examined hairstyles from the beauty skills competition only so that it is limited in generalizing the formative characteristics of hairstyles. It is hoped that Korean hairstyles would evolve in a more creative fashion, gradually going beyond the formality and limit of conventional design.
