A Beijing hairdresser has created an Obama hair sculpture. Normally hair dolls and hair sculptures would be considered weird and grounds for breaking up with your boyfriend even though he spent hours making it… but I digress.
The statue took 4 kilograms took seven days and nights. I’m sure Obama appreciated the Obama hair sculpture. It looks pretty good considering it’s made out of hair. Woof.
Implications - Barack Obama represents what is commonly referred to as a political celebrity. Not since JFK has North America seen a more prolific example of politician idolism, resulting in an array of products inspired by the president. This is because Obama now represents more than America's head; he has successfully made his name synonymous with change, freedom and strategy. This makes him an ideal element to be integrated into products or campaigns.
