Overview

Throughout history, many cultures have believed that hair imbues its owner with strength and energy. Today, hair has the power to help you win the Instructables Hair Contest! Think braids, hair styles, hair cuts, hair dying, and any project related to hair.

We’re giving away some fabulous prizes: a ghd Smooth & Finish Kit, subscriptions to Birchbox, and Instructables prize packs! The entry you submit is up to you, but keep in mind that it will be judged on clarity, ingenuity, creativity, quality of presentation, and execution of the instructable. Good luck!
