Gothic Hairstyles

I LOVE GOTHIC HAIR STYLE AND I DONT KNOW WHAT I DO WITH MY HAIR SINCE I HAVE NATURAL CURLY HAIR AND IT GETTING LONG HAIR BELOW MY SHOLDER BLADE

I have naturally curly hair as well. I got a Chi flat iron and it changed my life. I can have pin straight hair now when I want and leave it curly when I want. I suggest drying your hair with a round brush pulling it straight. I do it in four sections. Then straighten it with the Chi. It works wonders.

Well,its cool site i like this gothic hair cuts…but we need more hair cuts and more pictures to see and to learn how can we do those cool gothic hair cuts

GOOD SITE THANK YOU ALL

Amy Winehouse’s hairdo is hardly gothic. Its just dramatic. I think you meant Amy Lee from Evanescence

I have the same problem. My hair is black and long, and I dont know what to do with it.

You don’t have to have a specific hairstyle to be “goth”. Goth is ah but one word. Don’t try to fit its role, because if you do then you will never become it. Curly hair is gothic, just as wavy and straight are. You don’t have to dye it black to make it gothic.

To me long, flowing, loose bright blond curls are gothic. That’s all I need. That is now gothic. Of course, I do want to dye a strand violet, because I adore that color. Again, “gothic” isn’t about trying to be it. The whole reason why gothic even exists is because people WANTED to be freaks and be different. And then Hot Topic came along and made teenagers flock in and want to be emo/punk/goth just like everyone else. It went against everything the true goths wanted.

Perhaps gothic hair is just dramatic.

i have a curly hair and it’s a lil bit short.i haven’t found a good haircut…i’m ghotic n i’ve got bored from my old haircut so i’m wondering if there are other hairstyle

ok I have a straight uron I am blonde but I just can’t find a good hairstyle i dnt really know how to style it and just had t cut in layers with side bangs . i dnt know what to do with it and i am afraid to die it because last time my hair fell out. my hair is soooo puffy and bushy it is sooo hard to style. what should i do with it?

my hair is between a black , brown but blond at the ands. i have the same problem i do not no what to do with my hair

i agree with angela( not cuz my name also is angela)
but goth doesnt have to fut a certain uh..clique. its all about individuality and well..being yourself..its comes from the heart..not what you wear or how your hair looks.

This is emo, not goth. Goth is apparel of victorian elegance and comes in all colors. Hot Topic is a punk/poser store.

So, to get gothic black just dye it with a regular black hair dye.

I have seen black so black it looks fake, how is that done?

i have the ginga hair to lighten that dark style. It looks DAM fine!

i wash my hair every 2 day and i put anti frizz but it is always frizzy what do i do

you can use this substance called ‘henna’ in black and red, its some kind of powder, i used it and it made my hair like really black it looked fake, but you gotta use two packets of black henna dye and one packet of red henna dye, and u mix it up in water. Oh! and it took like 5 months or more to get it out of my hair.

i have longish curly hair thats red. not dyed. i have no clue what gothic hairstyles there are because there aren’t many sites that show that type of hair.this and other sites need more pictures.

Goth is whatever you want it to be. For me, it’s synonymous with ‘dark and cool’ Try substituting it for some things; you can make it Goth if you see fit.

Hot Topic is for those of us who prefer not to throw down several hundred dollars on stuff on the Internet. Truth is, the first Goths from the early 80′s made their own clothes, usually out of thrift store finds. Granted HT has become Twihard-Land of late, they come through every now and then with cute Goth-ish stuff. You don’t have to be a snotty Victorian in mourning to be Goth. On that note, you also don’t have to be a pretentious asshole.

@ Tina;
You should cut down your hair-washing. A LOT. You’re stripping your hair of natural oils that keep your hair soft, and therefore not frizzy. Experiment with anti-frizz shampoos & conditioners (leave-in ones every now and then) and let your hair air-dry rather than blow-dry if you can. If not, don’t dry it completely, that heat gives you wicked split ends and makes your hair frizz even more. Some hair dryers even have a ‘cool’ setting. Hope this helps.

I tend to agree with the angela’s… goth is what you make it…i pickd up making my own cloths or well some of them… I do adore hot topics even if it is a punk/poser store… n as to haircuts/ styles…be creative… I normally sport curly pigtails in a dark alburn during the spring summer fall then straight hair in the winter… my hair has natural waves… n I have natural strwberry blonde hair that I dyed alburn… I’m hopeing to make a website with handmade chokers and hair assesories… for sale… once I perfect my art… its gonna be named pavias corner store… so ill keep ppl posted

I agree with Angela. I am Goth and at first I didn’t even know there was such people as “poser goths”. It’s very sad. Just be yourself and see where that takes you. As for Hot Topic; yes, it’s true that most of their stuff is more fitting for the Emo and Punk seen. However, I for one cannot afford the original Victorian style clothes I would want. Hot Topic is just a nice place to look around in. Also, their “corsets” (usually TRIPP NYC) are a good deal.

ya i agree with ALLLLLLL yal. more pictures of gothic hairstyles. i LOVE gothic stuff but u would NEVER guess it from me because im a cheerleader and most of the time have a smile on my face and i don’t wear a whole lot of black because i don’t have a lot. and on top of that i have a slight country accent:) lmao but anyways yes, gothic can be just ur own thing. like me:) but even if i did want 2 do my hair some crazy poofed up way i couldn’t because i don’t know how 2 do my hair well. any suggestions on that? plz! i need help. my hair is naturally curly/wavy, dirty blonde, and have a corioliss straitner. oh and i also have problems with choosing haircuts:

i love goths and thier hairstyles <3

People say, “Be who you want to be,” and if people want to be posers, I say let them. It may be a waste of time to us, but to them, it’s not. I personally shop at Hot Topic, but only recently, and I find the brand, Tripp, to be increasingly amazing. They’re just what you wear on the outside, what really counts, is on the inside. People everywhere look different; no one’s the same. We each have our own individual styles and tastes. I may only be 16, but I do have a style. A style all my own. I wear my lace-up converse-look-alikes and my black and red lace Tripp miniskirt, and people notice. The next day, I wear my hair up, backcombed, with extensions of every which color, and merely jeans and a t-shirt. It’s only clothes. Nothing more, nothing less. She was only saying, that people categorize Goth as Emo, it doesn’t mean she thinks that herself.

well to any of you who are truly goth thank you for not following a trend. hmm well personally a true goth hair cut is something unique something no one else has, in the end people may copy you trust me i know but you started something to be different. try cutting it your self and if you are to timid to do so well lets just hope that the hair cutter person understands what the heck you are trying to do other wise well your screwed. yes im saying this form experience.

[The Goth Formerly Known As Forever Endeavor]

I’ve had people compare me to Abby from NCIS, call me emo rather than Goth, but remember, non-Goths (or mundanes) can’t wrap their puny minds around why anyone would want to stand out like a sore thumb (with nail painted a shiny, shiny black of course. ) and be DIFFERENT!!!!

@Killerbunney ; Wow, you cut your own hair? You are braver than me. I hadn’t cut my hair for ten years up until April of ’09 when I went from knee to waist length. It would probably also help to have a nice big picture of what you want, taken from all angles. Just a thought.

@ Dolly; Of course you have a style, age has nothing to do with it. =)
Don’t ever let people make you think you’re “weird” or something; they’re just jealous you have the guts to stand out!

@ Maddi; Oh! A cheerleader! Just kidding, darlin’. ;P
Weeeell, if your hair is long-ish you might try my suggestion below. Failing that, if you DON’T want to do something extreme like shiny black Barbie hair cut with a false ‘widow’s peak’-like bangs (that’s not what’s suggested below!), you could just dye your hair a darker color, perhaps auburn or a shade of brown. Some dye kits come with highlights and lowlights to make it look less…um…fake. You could get yourself some bangs cut, or some long front layers you can part to the side to frame your face. Layers like that are perfect for temporary color or short colored extensions.
And we Goths don’t frown ALL the time; there’s a subgenre called Perky Goth. =D And black is merely a suggestion. Besides you’d look silly in all of another color. (Think about it; all purple?
If you, like me have hair that is long, and I’m talking LONG, not just to your shoulders there’s a cute style I like to wear every now and then that just takes some ponytail holders, scrunchies and/or bobby pins and a good hairspray.
Put your hair in pigtails, take one pigtail and twist it, then wind it around itself to make a bun, but make sure the tail end flops over the bun.

You may have to experiment with the length of the fluffy tail end and take some time making sure they are even, then secure them.

You might even loosen some other ends from your twin buns and wind them around to add to the volume. Once you are satisfied (and you are sure it’s secure! That’s important!) spray the holy crap out of it with the hairspray and tease it with a comb. (I use Got2B Freeze Spray) When you are finished you’ll end up with spiky mini-pigtails. I always get comments for my hair when it’s like this…mostly people wondering how the hell it’s staying up. Heh.

I usually slither into HT to sneer at the bright colors. Kidding. I stay out of there entirely because I have one ex boyfriend in each HT store in my area. Both of them. ;P

OMG I looooooove gothic stuff so much, I am a gothic myself goth is awsome, but I’m not the sad kind, I’m the wild and random kind I always scream, but sometimes when I wanna be sad and quiet the real goth way I do.

I have naturally dark blonde hair, but I dye it black. I love how it looks, but it fades so fast. I end up looking like a zebra, with blonde faded streaks. This happen to anyone else?? Got any tips??? And what do you do to cover up your roots??? I find I have to dye my hair every 2 weeks just to keep up with them.

response to LosySoul12201 idk what u can use for the dye but they have root touch up stuff at like rite aid or cvs for like $10 sorry i dont really have details im the ecxaxt opposite i have natural black hair but i dye it blonde sooo sorry i cant help that much and stuff but try the root touchup it works well

OMG, people just be who you are, I have been called goth my whole life, I didn’t originally label myself that, others have, but that is what i am, goth is in your heart, as well as emo, punk, metal, scene, hippie, whatever you are. Just be you & play with your hair. Yes pretty much all of these labels when it comes to dressing you do your own thing to be creative, Hot Topic is a crock, corporate whores to be honest. They took the music & fashion of the music & raped it. They are just a corporation making money & trying to tell you how a certain look is supposed to be. DON’T BUY INTO THAT BS, just be yourself & wear what you like & make your own outfits, be creative & have fun!
