Celebrity hairstylist Sapna Bhavnani will use recycled waste hair and aesthetic masks to create unique presentations a symbol of breaking stereotypes at the India Makeup Show in Mumbai.

She will curate the special show titled #StrongIsTheWeakestLabel, the debut edition of India Makeup Show(IMS). The show that has been founded by Brothers Incorporated, Rahul Tuljapurkar and Ninad Shah will have its wardrobe done by Kallol Datta.

“As a child, all the superheroes I admired wore masks. I also wanted to be one. These days women are perceived as strong because we can run a household, raise children and husbands, earn salary and also find time to do some weight lifting to get…stronger,” Sapna said in a statement.

“We disguise our bruises by buying the best foundation there is in the market. Contour our cheek bones and define our eyebrows to set a horizon for ourselves. Perfumes hide the smell of decay and hair colour the grey skies above… I’m not saying there is anything wrong in grooming oneself. But we start with our face and hair and continue with our body and soul.

“I’m not saying that is wrong as well. It’s choice… My main reason for becoming a hair stylist was to give women a fringe to hide under. Over time I changed that and said ‘Why should they hide?’ Let’s just cut it all off and show our faces,” she added.

Bhavnani had earlier been in news when the #metoo movement gained momentum in India following Tanushree Dutta’s allegations against Nana Patekar.

She had shared that she had personally heard of so many stories of Amitabh Bachchan’s sexual misconduct and she hoped the women who faced it would come out soon.
