Apologies to the petite and the mousy haired: Sometimes bigger really is better. What other proof do you need than the International Fantasy Hair Competition. Walking with head held upright optional.

You can put away your hairspray for now. The teased tresses we're seeing were on stage, not on the street. For one night in New Hampshire, feathers, flowers, chicken wire, and birds topped the noggins of 50 models looking to be a head above the rest. The winner sported a halo of peacock feathers. And lots and lots of hairspray.

The literally hair-raising styles also raised money for a good cause. Proceeds of the competition supported a local food bank. Not to mention the cause of huge hair. View a slide show here.
