Commercial hair shoot

Recently I did a shoot which I was longing to shoot for quite some time. We worked on one image for this shoot as it was pretty intrigued.
I wanted to shoot the hair so it is flowing and has uniformity. If i used any kind of fan or blower I can't reach that, simply because the hair will fly on all sorts of direction and won't be uniform on one focal plane. I also did not wanted the model to lie on the floor because the dimensions and angels can never be the same when you are lying on the floor versus you are standing.  The idea I had was to carefully place the hair on plexiglass . once I got that I stared creating my images. I had already planned to retouch the missing areas and filling in later on. So I also shot some hair by itself. I used Elinchrome  27" Beauty dish and also a deep Octabox. Just give some extra jump to the hair I lit it up form the back with a honey comb grid.  Without much ado here is the final image.
