C/U of model Susan Beck with a hairstyle designed by Biagio; her hair is swept off her face to form a cone at the back of her head, from which hangs a piece of maroon chiffon fabric. Behind her left ear is a roll of hair.
M/S of Biagio himself, taking some geometric-shaped curlers out of Margaret Prior's hair. This 'do' involves four square 'curls' around the top of the head; the rest of the hair is swept back; Biagio removes a gold wire gauze cone from the top of Margaret's hair to reveal a 'hair cone' beneath; there is another hair cone behind her right ear. The effect is somewhat Taiwanese. Commentator asks "How does she take her new hairstyle to bed?".
M/S of Biagio examining some of the special wire gauze shapes he uses to create 'The Geometry Set', as he calls them. C/U of Kathy Lancaster; her hairstyle looks quite conventional from the front; swept back into a French pleat. As she turns her head, we see her hip-length hair has been wrapped around the back of her head in a square shape, and a large hair cone protrudes from the centre!
C/U of Audrey Wyne; her blonde hair is swept back; on top of her head sits a wrap of red-brown hair, like a pillbox hat. She tips her head forward to show in the centre of the wrap is a square of hair with a large gold ball in the centre; four smaller balls are in each corner of the square. How does it stay there?!!

The death penalty has been carried out in almost all societies and although these images from WWI and WWII are unsettling, they still provide a raw account of events from a certain time.
