Curly hair effect

A walker keeps pace while the coil travels down the lengths. a wide shot of a person walking toward camera along a tree-lined park path in dappled afternoon light, their straight hair coiling from the roots downward as they walk so that by the third step the lengths are bouncing ringlets, the walk never changing pace and the face staying the same, the coils catching the moving light through the leaves, camera tracking backwards ahead of them

Moving air separates the strands as they change texture. a wide shot of a person standing in front of a plain grey studio backdrop with steady wind from one side pushing their straight hair out in flat sheets, the strands then taking curl in the moving air so the sheets break into separate springing coils that lift and fall, the outline going from smooth to broken and textured, the stance and expression held, locked wide camera

The silhouette widens as flat hair fills out into a curled shape. a person standing with their back to a plain dark curtain, their flat straight hair lifting away from the scalp and filling outward as the strands take on curl, the silhouette widening to nearly twice its starting width while the length stays roughly the same, individual coils separating and catching the rim light, the shoulders and posture completely still, camera easing back from a close shot to a medium

Hair falls straight, then coils on the way down. a person pulling a plain band out of a ponytail in a stairwell under flat light, the hair falling loose and straight for the first moment and then coiling into ringlets on the way down so it lands as curls around the shoulders, the coils swinging once and settling, the band held in a lowered hand, the face and the flat light unchanged, camera at chest height looking slightly up

The curl forms at the roots and travels down to the ends. a person with long straight hair standing still against a plain pale wall in soft daylight, the hair beginning to coil at the roots and the curl travelling steadily down each length until the ends spring up into defined ringlets that bounce twice and settle, the overall length shortening only as much as the coil takes up, the face, clothing and light unchanged throughout, camera holding a steady medium close shot

The coils appear mid-turn and keep moving after the head stops. a person turning their head from profile to camera in flat overcast daylight on a balcony, their straight hair taking curl during the turn so that by the time they face front the lengths are springing ringlets, the coils continuing to bounce and settle for a beat after the head stops moving, the face held steady and unchanged, camera at eye level following the turn

Side by side, one set of lengths coils and the other does not. a wide shot of two people standing side by side in a bare kitchen doorway in flat daylight, both with long straight hair, the hair of the person on the left coiling from root to tip into defined ringlets while the hair of the person on the right stays straight and flat, both standing still and facing camera so the comparison is direct, locked wide camera

One side springs into ringlets while the other stays poker straight. a person seen from the front in a bare hallway, the hair on their left side coiling into tight defined ringlets from root to tip while the hair on their right side stays completely straight and flat, the two halves held side by side in the same light so the difference in texture is obvious, the person turning their head slightly to show both, camera locked at eye level

Against an open sky the outline grows as volume builds. a wide shot of a person standing in profile on a bare rooftop against a pale evening sky, their flat straight hair lifting off the scalp and filling outward into a wide curled shape so the silhouette against the sky nearly doubles in width, each coil visible at the edge of the outline, the body and the skyline-free background completely still, locked wide camera

Flat wet hair contracts into coils as the towel comes away. a person lowering a plain towel from their head in a bare tiled bathroom, the wet hair underneath hanging flat and dark at first, then contracting upward into tight defined coils one section at a time as if drying in fast motion, the strands separating and lightening as they curl, water darkening the shoulders of a plain shirt, camera holding a close shot at eye level
