Now we're going to talk about the Goth hairstyle. Now there's a really wide range of hairstyles
that exist within Goth. Some people go for Mohawks, some people go for ringlets to complete
sort of the Victorian doll look, but in general, the hair is messy. It's not perfectly coiffed
at all, and it's supposed to be big hair. A lot of volume, a lot of standing out. And
it, to the point where it should almost look fake. Very popular is for it to be kind of,
sort of covering peoples eyes. You can see with my bangs, it's long and they're coming
into the eyes. Any hairstyle that you're going to use, you definitely need to use a lot of
product. I would recommend using a mousse, putting it into the hair when it's wet, and
teasing the hair out as much as possible, for whatever style you choose. And you need
to use a hairspray after that, in order to hold it in place. And the hairstyle's really
a centerpiece of the Goth look. In addition to hairstyle, the hair color should be very,
very dark. Black is favored, but people also use a Manic Panic dye, or something like that
to have a bright blue streak or a bright red streak. And those colors should contrast against
the dark the same way that the make-up for Goth contrasts against the light skin. In
some respects, Goth, while keeping it as a dark overtone, is really about contrast between
the different colors.
