Okay, so I’ve been seeing this “gothic hair” trend popping up everywhere, and you know me, I gotta try it out. I’m not a pro or anything, just a regular person who likes messing around with my look. So, here’s how I went about getting that gothic hair vibe.
First Steps: Thinking it Through
First, I spent a lot of time just staring at pictures. Seriously, like hours scrolling through different styles. I wanted to figure out what kind of gothic hair I was even going for. There’s a lot of different kinds of gothic looks, and I wanted to find one that I could do myself.
Getting Started: The Dye Job (or Not!)
My hair was already kind of a darkish color. So I didn’t need to do the whole bleaching thing. Lucky me, because, let me tell you, bleaching is a PAIN.
- Deep condition: Before doing anything, I gave my hair a super good deep conditioning treatment. You want your hair as healthy as possible, even if you aren’t bleaching.
Styling: Making it Goth
This is where the real fun began. Here is what I used for styling:
- Straightener: It is useful to make my hair sleek.
- Hairspray:For the hair to stay in place.
I started by making it sleek using a straightener.
Then, I sprayed some hairspray to keep everything in place. I kind of messed it up a little, so I ended up with a very wispy look.
The Finished Look (and My Thoughts)
Okay, so final verdict? I dig it! It’s not perfect, and it’s definitely not super dramatic, but it’s my take on gothic hair. It’s a little messy, a little edgy, and it makes me feel cool. It’s actually pretty easy to do. And the best part? If I get tired of it, I can just wash it out and try something new. That’s the beauty of playing around with your hair – it’s all about experimenting and finding what you like!
