Okay, so had SO many different ideas for this... again. And finally went with this last one. Just in case y'all are wondering, when I wear this stuff, I only wear about half of it at a time - it's HEAVY! The best part is that my natural hair is visible at the bottom - though I'm probably the only one that can see it.
Processing - removed the background, gave my body a little fixing up, new layers to add dreamy effect, sharpen, contrast, color balance, add candle flame.

Interesting take on this, although I have to say I do not understand the light in the hand. Also, I am sure there is a technical reason for why you did this, but i would like to see less space on the right. Nice picture!
Nice colours and detail in the braiding but I don't see much hair. The head fades into the background. The flame is a nice touch but doesn't really add to the challenge theme of hair.
