her royal hair-ness
Meet the Côte d’Ivoire artist who sculpts her hair into pretty much everything.
Some folks bemoan the hair they’ve been born with. Not Laetitia Ky. The Côte d’Ivoire artist not only loves her locks, she regularly contorts them into all manner of shapes – from a bicycle to a light bulb to hands playing guitar. But this isn’t just for aesthetic purposes; Laetitia’s sculpted hair is a way of expressing her identity on her own terms. “My hair is the expression of my thought, which is so strong that it decides to materialise before I even go through with the action,” she says. To see more of Laetitia’s crafty hair-sculpting skills, have a squiz at her Instagram.
