My Recent Hair Journey

Recently, I had talked about going back to purple….

The steps I took:

1.  Bleach bath (30 vol developer) half bleach, half shampoo
2. 3/4 just bleach (30 vol)
3. One week later, another 3/4 just bleach (30 vol)
4. A few days later, a full head bleach(30 vol)
5. Again, full head bleach(30 vol)
6. All of my hair being orange now, I tried Color Jamz purple and pink mix….

Summed up in 13 seconds:

It DID NOT turn out how I wanted!!!

I told myself that I should have used manic panic BECAUSE, it sticks to darker blonde and orange WAAAY better than color jamz :'(

But, now….I have to find a magical way to pull money out of my ass….meaning I have to find a crappy minimum wage job until school starts.

Though, my life seems to be sharting on me once more, I must take it for what it is and not complain.

If you are trying to get away from black dyed hair, I'm so sorry to inform you….You MUST bleach it. I've tried EVERYTHING ELSE! And bleaching is the most efficient and fast way to do so.

ALWAYS deeeeep condition! Let your hair rest between bleaches and good luck. Hope you enjoyed either way :)

To wig, or Not to wig...

That is a question for us Goth Folk!

Wigs come in many quality categories, but the most popular is usually the least expensive and the most itchy!

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 When I originally made either of these pieces, I did it to: 

1. Save money
2. Be original
3. Create for others
4. 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!

Nu Goth. What is it?

Nu Goth, It's kinda like old Goth right? 

MMM, not really. For starters, Nu Goth is more mainstream friendly, in my opinion.

Its like Goth hugged Hipster, lol.

(Me) Goth

Hipster

=equals=

"Nu Goth"

All Styles have their awesomeness! Nu goth, another subculture from Goth, Is a nice classy style. 

I can dig!!

So, I got on polyvore and created an outfit inspired by Nu Goth

Whatcha think?! let me know in a comment ;)

~Love Zaney~

 

Pastel Goth?

Ah, a new sub culture, how interesting.

Being a Goth by nature, this new fad has caught my attention and I'm not sure if I love it...or LOATHE it ENTIRELY! So I decided to do a wee bit of digging. 

Ok, here is a WikiHOW on "How to Be a Pastel Goth". There it describes in detail, clothing style, hair color, makeup types, shoes, jewelry etc. 

Generally, the style just reminds me of a cute version of Hipster, eh *insert unenthused face*.

So, a Pastel Goth is still part of Our Gothic Culture. Its cute, I'll admit. Its Gutter Goth splattered with pink. 

I can dig the whole trashy statements with kitty ears on it.

But, wait! its not the Scene style coming back from the dead is it?!

LOL, I'M KIDDING! I have always appreciated different styles! Scene was just one of those things that died really quickly. It wasn't Goth enough! haha
