I'll admit I swoon over big hair, vintage styled hair and New Wave hair do's. I have always been into trying different and dramatic things with my hair over the years, so at 31 having a mohawk just seems like the perfect fit for me. Besides, I personally think I look better in shorter styles.
Some of my hair inspirations:

(bottom) left to right: Daniel Ash (Bauhaus), Awesomely 80s goths
Why can't I be the 4th member of Skinny Puppy?
Too awesome, look at that hair!
What are your hair inspirations? Are there any hair style you would love to try?
Thanks for reading!

I also love love love batcavers/old school gothic style. And when it comes to the hair - the bigger, the better!
ReplyDeleteI'm not fond of big hair, only because I'm not able to pull it off as nicely as I see. With the structure of your face and collar, all I see is beauty with that hair, but if I try it I end up looking boyish or just really funny looking.
ReplyDeleteI'm very practical (aka lazy) when it comes to my hair-- though renaissance inspired braids and long flowing manes are definitely eye-candy to me. It's something I believe I can pull off, but haven't the skill or patience to try.
I know short/big hair is not for everyone, so I applaud you for knowing that works for you!
DeleteI always admire people who can wear their hair long and make it look so elegant. I look TERRIBLE with long hair as it does nothing for my face. I do like to play and style my friends who have long hair and live vicariously through them ;)
LOVE the big hair! Lots of people think my hair is very 80s, but I get inspiration from all over the place ... I shaved my head in 1993 for a Banshees concert so I could have a blue mohawk, and haven't grown it out since ;)
ReplyDeleteI started wearing dreads extensions about 6 years ago after being inspired (weirdly) by a cool guy on a goth clothing advert - funny what sparks the ol' creative spirit! :P
That is so cool about the inspiration from that ad!
DeleteYou also have rad hair and having a mohawk since 1993! WOW! *I bow to thee mohawk queen* Hahahhahaha! <3
Aww, thanks! ... though I think that just means I'm getting old, heh heh :P
DeleteMutual hair admiration is always a good thing ;)
Jesus Christ woman, you do not look thirty-one!!! I seriously thought you were in your mid twenties...
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I had that discussion with a friend of mine on the difference between a deathhawk and a mohawk, and we came to the conclusion that mohawks tend to be thinner and consisting of less hair while deathhawks were teased and consisted of more hair. I don't know we both could have been terribly wrong.
As for big hair? Love it! I used to not be able to leave the house without teasing my hair into a wild nest of awesome-ness and I always had a little comb in my boot in case I had the urge to fluff my hair some more. But for a while now I haven't teased my hair, mainly because it's a little damaged from excessive dyeing...oops!
Awww thank you! 31 is not old by any means, but I am lucky that the women in my family have aged gracefully.....that, and trying to stay out of the sun helps.
DeleteI would agree with your mohawk/deathhawk description, I just call my hair a mohawk *shrugs* I am obsessed with 80s hair and thus my hair was a natural progression ;)
