PEOPLE: The surreal appeal of Darya Sevostyanova’s ‘hairstyles’, created from everything except hair

Darya Sevostyanova’s Instagram is populated with images which follows one simple concept – using a single material, and lots of it, to create over-the-top decorative ‘hairstyles’. Like many creatives, the Moscow-based hairstylist uses Instagram as an outlet for some of her wilder ideas which are not always sought after on set. “More often my work for magazines and commercial advertising is not entirely creative, as people are after ‘beauty’ in the classical sense,” she says.

Proving what you can bring to life with limited materials, deft styling skills and an eye for detail, Sevostyanova’s fleeting creations are a perfect hit of inspiration for idle hands. Browse some of our favourite looks below.

"The work of a hairdresser is often in the background, so I thought it would be cool to dedicate an Instagram page only to the backs of heads"
