That is a question for us Goth Folk!
I have a lot of hair, so its hard for me to wear hair pieces that require snug fitting. I do, however, love clip-in/tie-in pieces! I've made a handful of pretty colored head things.
Being a diy-er and a goth at heart, it is no surprise that I've looked like this:
...or this....

(((So, I guess hair pieces have always been "my thing". I remember how excited I was when I made all of these. Every piece has a story, but shockingly, I no longer own any of them, now! I am an artist, I can make some similar, but I could never ever clone any of these pieces! I've tried)))
Now, Some of us do not like hair pieces, but some of us have gone out of our way to purchase or create some kind of extravagant creation to wear! Here it is again, To wig or not to wig?
What are the pros and cons of wearing hair gear of every category?
Does it not always come back down to the price? When I originally made either of these pieces, I did it to:
- Save money
- Be original
- Create for others
- Artistically express myself through my appearance.
None of this was cheap! Even buying the cheapest materials, It ended costing a few hundred dollars altogether due to the learning process. When I started, there were 2 tutorials on youtube and only a few pictures...I learned the hard way. It was a fun, yet, a frustrating process, but I would not trade those experiences for the world! Now that I know how to do these things, I want to share with everyone else who is interested, I want to be the one that starts a 16 year old girl on her dread making, or clip-ins selling extravaganza!! I want my people to join me in creating and DIY-ing! I want us to come together and share our knowledge and our methods of madness!!
WHOSE WITH ME?!!
Let me know in the comments below!
I have a friend that makes dreads and she made me my black and red pair. I love them and they're were decently priced since she lives in Arizona and I live in California. But I think they were like $40 or $60? I can't remember because it has been a while but I am getting a black and white pair from her as well here pretty soon.
ReplyDeleteBut for me, dreads are pretty heavy and can be itchy but I still love them and still love to wear them. I can't make them because I really just don't know how. I myself prefer cyber falls because they are lighter and I can make them pretty cheap.
I also wear regular wigs because I love anime and I do a lot of cosplaying so I have a few of those but they make your head sweaty and itchy.
That was one of my biggest problems with dreads, and being the dread maker I feel like "well, I can't make them and NOT wear them...that's lame!". I can't do installs and as long as the falls aren't too heavy, I can pull it off.
ReplyDeleteOh, cool! Your friend is in Arizona, I'm in New Mexico :)
I'm currently spending A LOT of time on crocheted and felted synthetic dreads...oooh, have you tried wool? So far, wool is my favorite, its just a long and messy process as the dread maker.
Why can't you wear your own dreads? And no I have only worn the dreads my friend makes me in fake synthetic hair but they are still really heavy and my hair is really thin so the dreads really do feel heavy.
DeleteI'm going to start making cyber dreads for myself I think because I love cyber goth and the dreads are pretty light.
Do you make your dreads to sale?
omgoddess I am so sorry! I never saw your comment! I do sell my creations and take special requests :) I have a storenvy http://zaneyhair.storenvy.com/
Deletep.s. I'm specializing in wool dreads, lighter and better in most ways :)
