Type on Hair

Summary

A curated set of editorial compositions where typography is printed, projected, or stenciled directly onto hair, blending graphic design with fashion photography.

Visual description

A close-up back view of platinum blonde hair displays bold red letterforms printed directly across the scalp and strands, creating lines of stacked typography that reads as credits for "CARDI SYSTEM", "KI/KI", and other names. The text overlays are treated as physical layers on the hair, with careful consideration of depth and hair texture affecting how each letter sits.

Key takeaway

Use typography as a physical overlay on a textured surface to blur the boundary between graphic design and photography, making text feel embedded rather than merely placed.

Reuse notes

Reach for this as a editorial spread reference. Pairs with typographic, experimental directions.
