Take a plunge into the deep with award-winning Aussie hairdresser Mary Alamine and her new underwater shoot, Atlantis.
Inspired in part by her favourite childhood fairytale, The Little Mermaid, and in part by time spent swimming with her children, the photos have an ethereal feel. But creating these looks in the water wasn't an easy task.
"On a morning swim with my children, I noticed how hair moves and how amazing it looks when you manipulate it underwater," explains Mary. "Creating texture in the hair that would hold underwater was tricky to do, but we managed it by using the right products and setting techniques."
"This shoot came with it’s own risks," she continues. "Especially when considering how to style the hair to prevent the styles from falling apart in the water. I've always loved braids and incorporated these into the looks because you can see them underwater and they look so soft and beautiful ,which fits the collection perfectly."
