    Hair Fair 2022 – Monso & Funkystench

    FUNKYSTENCH - Hair Fair 2022Monso - Hair Fair 2022

     

    I am always so enthralled by the releases people make for Hair Fair, and when there are new to me stores that is so exciting for me. Funkystench is one such store and what a lovely creator Funkystench is. These are incredible styles with amazing features, an abundance of colour options for the hair itself and then amazing accessories, with such stunning materials. Their Dollarbie item the Rollers had me so excited, we have seen rollers in SL over the years and every set has always been fun, but I have never seen such a bougie set as these, the rollers have amazing options for colours, the pins gorgeous metals and then each roller is kept in check with 100 dollar bills.

    The styles by Monso had me also enraptured. So much so that while they were setting up I could not help but sit on their store sign waiting, now I have to say that I did have to check the booth once done, but I really really also wanted get get my hands on the hairs too. Beautiful styles but the long braids has four options of look and while I am a huge fan of behind the shoulders which it has, I really had to wear this one in front.

    Hair Fair 2022 – The Stringer Mausoleum & Mina

    Mina & The Stringer Mausoleum - Hair Fair 2022

    Mina has created this amazing half hairstyle that in the picture on the right is a shaved base – worn on the left pic just to confuse you – it is a great Unisex style, and I do have plans to also try it with a hairbase of actual hair to see how that looks. You get the shaved hairbase with the hairstyle, and there are other shaved bases at the event. So you can try different looks and really rock out the hair. The Stringer Mausoleum Hazard style is a lot of fun, I was feeling fierce and rather than look for a shaved base from somewhere else, as mentioned I used the great one from Mina. TSM does this awesome thing where no matter what hair you buy, as long as you own one of their colour pack huds, you can use that HUD on that style, so that is handy. I also got some amazing eyebrows of mesh from their booth, but am wanting to save them for another post. When thinking Punk, Sn@tch is the store for me, so I combined some bom layers and some great makeup and loving the edgy look.

    Hair Fair 2022 – Argrace & Zibska

    Argrace & Zibska - Hair Fair 2022

    I still remember the first year that Argrace did Hair Fair, it was the Aztec build and their hair was a fast favourite for me, because they did hat hair really early in their creative career. It was 2008 and there were a few new creators at that years fair. I am so happy that they have joined the event year after year and they are always a pleasure to communicate with and always do incredible styles for the event. The store Manager Niema this year even did a bandana for the bandana booth and it is so lovely and she is so sweet.

    The three styles are great, and very true to the Argrace brand, the Hanna style is definitely my instant favourite, with the tiers of hair cascading down the back in a style that once you see it you think, why do I not do that with my own hair all the time. I also really enjoy the black/white pack by Argrace because it kind of busts out of the greyscale box and adds some mixes as well as some colours that are definitely closer to blonde, so I get the best of all moods.

    Zibska is another brand that has been with us many years, with her Editorial style she always brought amazing things to the event, but with the rules change she went in another direction and wowed the crowd. So many stunning hair accessories and each one of them donating 100% to Wigs for Kids. There are options of singular colour ranges or fatpacks with a hud that goes on for days in terms of how many options you get, also in the two floral pieces I am showing you have windy petals add ons so that you can look windswept and the one on the far left is literally coming apart as it blows away, such attention to detail.

    Hair Fair 2022 – Vanity Hair & Tardfish

    How much fun are these two Hair Fair attachments by Tardfish, wearing them with the Hair Fair releases by Vanity Hair and it is just way too perfect the combination, but of course you can wear them with anything. They are animesh attachments, but you can move them into position which is awesome, and there are different options of the Medusa friends, you have up to 8 snakes options. The Neko Bell ears have a hud for the bell metals and the bow colours.

    With animesh you must can only wear one animesh at a time for regular accounts, but you can attach two if you have a premium account. So worth it when you get to wear such creative items.

    The hairstyles are glorious and the hairbase is built into the style, but there are bom layers as well in case needed for a better fit. The hairbase layer can be tinted to match as needed.
    loving some more bom layer clothing by Luxuria, she really knows how to use the SLUV her work is always incredible, definitely must have pieces for layering.

    Hair Fair 2022 – The Mars & Analog Dog

    The Mars - Hair Fair 2022Analog Dog - Hair Fair 2022

    I am really enjoying the great new styles at Hair Fair 2022. There are so many goodies to be found, and it really is important to try demos on. These two great styles from The Mars come with bangs options, Selena also has the option of splitting the hair colours half and half, and Emiko has three bangs options and both have unrigged versions in case you need to move it around or need to resize.

    Analog Dog styles are gorgeous waves and an abundance of curls. The Halo style is an amazing pony tail that when looked at from behind is like an amazing flower in bloom. There are options for bangs and different features to the styles but the wonderful thing about Analog Dog is that all the hair is MOD. So if you are one of those people that really loves having that as an option then this store is a you store.

    Wearing some more Lunar with PIG mix, and the jewellery is Mandala, those plume pieces are divine. I picked up this duality necklace from Dark Mouse a few months back and love it.

    Hair Fair 2022 – EMO-tions

    EMO-tions - Hair Fair 2022

    Hair Fair 2022 opened in the early hours of Saturday and it has been a rollercoaster ride so far. I got in a great amount of shopping, because as we already know I am a hair addict, and proud of it.

    I am starting my Hair Fair coverage with EMO-tions, not only because she is a long standing member of the hair community, but she went above and beyond this year for Hair Fair and our bandana booths. Mirja donated her gorgeous Headwrap that is one of the many for purchase at Hair Fair, full perms for me to have the honor of texturing to then sell, this was a big thing as she herself sells hair with the wraps in her store, so she essentially gave away one of her biggest items, even going so far as to even change it slightly so it would be worn as a wrap entirely without hair, but you still can wear it with a hairbase if you prefer.

    I was so moved by this, and look forward to decorating this wrap in years to come, so while there are many versions I obviously love, the lemon one was in my top three, because as you also know, I love me some yellow. I actually made the brush I used for the texture and love how it came out, I hope you get some before the event ends as these prints will get retired, and they are only 50L each and mod transfer and 100% goes to Wigs for Kids, as do all the proceeds from the bandana booths.

    These three hairstyles shown are the exclusive releases from EMO-tions for the event, I really enjoy the variety of styles to choose from, as it gives you a great range of looks and can cater to many tastes. The tight curls are amazing and the ponytail with thick tail and heavy tendrils is a must have. The gorgeous wrapped long style just makes me think resort wear.

    The outfit is a combo of mesh and bakes on mesh texture work from days long past, but still available. The mesh is by Lunar and I had the pleasure of talking to the creator over the past couple of days. I love the amount of options this set has, the balls on the shorts, they even have glitter options, the shorts can be sheer, semi sheer, opaque or fluffy, the balls can be fluffy or pearl, there are so many options they are must haves and the sweater is gorgeous.
    The top is part of a bikini set hand drawn from a store called Pig that I had not been to in a decade, and they are still open and while not doing newer content, their older stuff in my opinion is still next level when it comes to hand drawn work.
    Adding some pieces by Mandala I got to have my Yellow fix with some punk femininity.

    I am also wearing my great friend Hair Fair Hare, this year they are pirate themed and this is YoYo Treasure who means the world to me. You can find him and his family in the Bandana booths at Hair Fair 2022 and buy the matching human bandanas as well.

    Sasy Scarborough – Fierce & Fetching

    Sasy Scarborough - Fierce & Fetching

    The latest set by Fifty Five not only had me running over because of its inclusion of both Slink Hourglass and Cinnamon & Chai fits, but the square toed strappy heels were just must haves. Now the Mini Corset blazer dress combination is just all the things and more, the options if you go fatpack and believe me, look at this HUD, you definitely should, because not only do you have these amazing prints to choose from and all the extras, but you can either all one colour or left and right as I did, and I am loving that.

    I bought this hair the other day when I went to EMO-tions and was wondering what I would do as a look with it, just knowing that the celtic knot metal clasps and the style itself was great, I teamed it up with a hairbase I had from Adoness and that and the tartan punk vibe from the clothing, it all came together for me in such a me forever way. Adding the gorgeous earrings from Mandala that had the black white and red I was in need of, and I am ready to take on everything.
