HAIR OF THE PAST & FUTURE

“I wanded her hair all over to create soft waves and curls and added a basket weave braid on the top half. I pulled up and parted the end on the braid into two space buns,“ Onawa Brown, the hair stylist for ‘Cosmic Siren,’ said. “I chose space buns since they are coming into style hardcore. I think it’s a look that’s in style right now. I’ve been seeing it come back more and more through influences on Instagram and through the music [festival scene].”
“For the makeup, I was planning on doing a lot of color on the eyeshadow because that’s really a big thing. So a lot of color, more of a blownout eye shadow look and just nice heavy blush, highlight and just everything like that. Just really focus on the color eyeshadow, and the detail with that,” Brianna Umstead, the makeup artist for ‘Cosmic Siren,’ said. “That’s definitely what the new upcoming styles are. Neutrals, again, are kind of bleeding out and colors are coming in.” Students model trendy, futuristic looks • modeled by JULI MEJIA • hair and makeup by PAUL MITCHELL THE SCHOOL ST.

All Dolled Up & Nowhere To Go
“[Popular styles include] the little ponytails on top that are woven into more ponytails. We’re going to do that, and then we’re going to curl the rest of the hair into little beach waves,” Kayden Harris, the hairstylist for ‘All Dolled Up and Nowhere to Go,’ said. “What made me choose this look was how short her hair was. It fit the style really well. It made the curls pop, and then the color of her hair also made the curls look so good.”
“We’re going for the E-Girl look, the really heavy blush, probably like stars or hearts or something on the cheeks. Just very extra but also very simple,” Alex Olin, the makeup artist for ‘All Dolled Up and Nowhere to Go,’ said. “It’s become really popular. I can only see it growing in popularity. That’s just kind of the whole inspiration that’s popping up on my explore page on Instagram. It’s everywhere.” • modeled by CAIOMHE FARRIS • hair and makeup by PAUL MITCHELL THE SCHOOL ST.

• SPORTS • theimagemagazine Feb. 19, 2020 27 Concussion effects linger in athletes
REGGIE BROWN • Staff Reporter • In contact sports, injuries are nearly inevitable. One of the most common injuries is a concussion. A concussion doesn’t necessarily occur from any blow to the head. It’s when the brain jolts in a whiplash motion and hits the inside of the skull.
Lafayette trainer Eric Doherty handles all athletes’ injuries, and he uses many tools to diagnose concussions.
“People always think if you get hit hard, you’re going to get a concussion, and that’s not true. That’s not necessarily true all the time either,” Doherty said.
While concussions are classified as minor traumatic brain injuries, Doherty doesn’t like to call any concussion minor. If an athlete experiences another concussion while they’re already suffering from one, they can get Second Impact Syndrome which can be deadly to the patient.
To diagnose concussions, Doherty first checks the cranial nerves for neurological damage and uses a Sports Concussion Assessment tool to find red flags.
The assessment to diagnose concussions is the Standard Concussion Assessment Test (SCAT5). The assessment shows red flags to look for, signs to observe and multiple tests necessary to diagnose a concussion.
“If the athlete is suffering from neurological damage, they may not be able to smell, lose consciousness or develop anterograde amnesia where they can’t form memories,’’ Doherty said.
Doherty is a former athlete himself. He played rugby and had a concussion in his playing days.
“When I played rugby, I was picked up and dropped on my head multiple times. When I got my concussion, I was knocked out cold, but I had barely gotten tapped,” Doherty said.
Doherty will send athletes to the Emergency Room if no progress is being made or if a headache persists hours after the concussion.
Concussion specialist Brian Mahaffey said things like ADHD, migraine headaches and amnesia can all be factors that prolong the athlete’s recovery. Mahaffey also said once the athlete is no longer showing symptoms, they become cleared to begin their Return to Play progression (RTP).
“While it’s true the standardized RTP progression we follow takes seven days for a high school athlete, if a person younger suffers a concussion, their recovery time is longer and usually up to 10 days. If the person is over 18, their RTP progression will take less time,” Mahaffey said.
After the RTP, the athlete will be cleared for controlled contact activity before they can be completely cleared. Athletes can return to school quickly, but their school and athletic activity will be modified.
When the athlete is first cleared to return to their sport, they will also have practices modified to accommodate their injury. The athlete may start with walkthroughs then no contact then light contact before fully returning to their sport.
One concussion may be hard enough to deal with, but having two can cause an athlete to question their future athletic activities.
Sophomore Drew Fick did no such thing. He suffered two concussions at a young age, but he still plays football, basketball and baseball.
“The first concussion I had I was going down a hill riding my bike. A kid ran into me and my bike went into the forest. I flew over the handlebars and landed on my helmet. The helmet broke, and I was knocked out for about 30 seconds. My second concussion, I dove into a pool and hit my head on the bottom,” Fick said.
Senior Parker Ockerhausen has suffered multiple concussions, but he continues to participate in sports.
“It was 6th grade when I played football. It was our final game. As I was tackling a guy, we had a head-on-head collision, and I just got rocked to the ground. Immediately after when I got up, my head was spinning, and I could barely walk. I had to get carried off the field,” Ockerhausen said. “We made the decision to sit out the rest of the game and see how I felt. After that, we went to the hospital, and I was diagnosed with a concussion.”
In October 2019, Ockerhausen participated in Male Escadrille and suffered another concussion during a performance.
“We had to throw a kid up in the air, and he kicked another guy in the face who then rocked back into me and hit my head,” he said
Ockerhausen is a pitcher for both the Lafayette baseball team and an outside club team meaning there’s an increased chance of getting hit in the head by a ball hit back at him. Because pitchers do not wear protective headgear, the concussions he’s suffered put him on edge when he’s on the mound.
“I’ve almost gotten hit in the head, and I’ve been lucky I haven’t. I’ve seen people that have, and it’s not good,” Ockerhausen said. • illustration by HANNAH FITTS
