Portrait Hair Weave (6 pics)

This is a hair weave work by Chinese Zhang Dexuan, 66. He’s weaving portraits on hair, a technique invented by his grandmother. Zhang learned the skill in 2 years and accomplished his first portrait before he turned 30. He normally makes miniature portraits, working with magnifier.

The only sad thing about it is as he doesn’t have a descendant to transmit the skill now, it may be lost in future..
