I'm totally at a crossraods with this decision, I like my hairstyle but I really can't do much with it. So I want to get a new one but I don't know what to go with! So some help from you guys would definitely help. Here are the hair styles I've narrowed it down to...


The Emo style hair cut... Option 1


Long with black streaks in it... Option 2


Shoulder length with trimmed bangs... Option 3 (The only problem with this one is that I'm not going to dye my hair all black so it'll be that in platinum blonde. )

Also before I post this I also might want to mention that my hair is about shoulder length and it is kinda on the thin side up on the top and on my bangs. So based on what I've told you if you could all help me choose I would really appreciate it.

One more thing, yes I am Gothic/Punk/Emo so these are defnitely the only hairstyles I'm interested unless you can find better ones that fit in with the goth/punk/emo look.

Thanks everyone,
Krista

I love hair style number one!

Option one as well! 

If you could pull that off I'd totally do it.

I'm more for option 2, I like very long hair (and yes, even on others, guys or girls)

I'd personally probably try and get something weird like pink dyed strands rather than black, but that's me.

Like both of you I really like option 1 myself. I think it'd look good on me.

I love option 2 also but one it would mean dying my hair which in my case might not be a good thing, not to mention I'd need hair extensions as my hair is only shoulder length and Avril's is to the middle of her back.

I also have though about the pink streak but I'd probably look like a poser if I did that. Lol

I'd say do like pink where those highlights are in the girls hair in picture number one.  That might look pretty cool

It depends on a lot of things like your appearance right now, your clothing style, your body type, type of hair etc. If I had to just pick a hair style out of any of them not knowing anything about you or seeing you, I'd go with #3, but it's impossible to do without more info.

Well it doesn't need to be that length like 'now', it can't wait for it to grow?

I'm growing my hair to floor length, and its not some haircut's picture-length that's going to stop me, and the dyes are also at your own discretion, you can use temp dyes too. I don't think pink looks like a poser.

1 is great, but got the feeling that unless your hair is very straight already,
its not going to turn out right or will be lots of work to make it look like
that every day.

I'd love to do pink but I plan on going back to public school next year so pink is ut because of dress code requirements.

Right now I look like any typical teenage girl. My face is pretty slender and I have a female type chin with a normal female jawline, I dress in  goth/punk manner (Black, skulls, slip-on skater shoes, jeans, studded belts, wrist bands, ect.), I'm pretty small in terms of my body type (ie I have a 29 inch waist 41 in hips I and a 34B in the breast department, ect.), and my hair is actually kinda thin because I went through a very depressed point in my life which caused me to have stress and also made my hair fall out but it is getting thicker, my hair is about shoulder's length and it is platinum bonde.

I can wait for it to grow but I'd rather not.

Those things are all true but I kinda want to go with whatevery one else is doing... kinda. Lol.

Also The pink streak would make me look like a poser because if you saw me and then took a look at Avril Lavigne you'd know that I take most of my style directly from her. Not to mention like I stated, when I go back to school I can't have pink.

Voted for three, but mainly because I'm a jerk and I don't like emo

Lol. I just like the style... I am sorta kinda emo but I also have a punk/goth side to me as well... I'm soooooo mixed.

It is sometimes. I have naturally curly hair but I can straighten it with a hot iron to make it VERY straight.

I like one and three, it depends on how each one would look on you, and how much time you want to spend with your hair in the morning -- also, how straight it is naturally, etc.

For shorter hair cuts, you'll need to spend more time on to get the look. For the longer one, if you're having a lazy day, it's easy to just brush your hair out and go and run errands, etc.

Personally, I've been thinking of a shorter hair cut style (although, some people are going -- nooooo! LOL 'cause they like my long hair, apparently... which needs to be cut and styled again). Mine has random waves and curles in it, and then straight parts. I have to straighten it, which sux, but sometimes I don't care and let my hair do what ever... especially when I'm late for work, which makes long hair easier to work with 'cause you can usually afford to not spend as much time on your hair, etc.

number  1
don't even waste brain cells thinking about it.
number 1 is the best; its punky, sexy, and cool. 
#2 is ok, but not practical if your hair isn't long already.
and #3 is too boring.

Audrey

I would say #3 it looks much like your own hair but longer Krista.

Nat, if you cut your hair I will have no recourse but to beat you up with a sardine.

Hi, Krista,

I would go with #2 or #3 because if your hair is already that long and you get tired of it, you can cut it and do style #1.  If you start with short hair and get sick of that, it'll drive you nust while you're growing it back.

Off-topic question:  In the pic for style #3 the woman is making a gesture with her left hand.  Can anyone tell me what that gesture means?

Thanks and I hope you are happy with your choice of hairstyle.

Ya I believe that hand sign came out much later after us hippies. Ya me curious to as to what it means. is it a reinvention for the peace sign?

Cindy

I like 2 which is very cool.......personally I don't like number 1 as much. But it depends on the individual and their age and personality.

Nope. The sign has a long history, but it is usually known as the "devil horns" these days. It used to be used to symbolize something as being hardcore, primarily heavy metal music, but has since been diffused all the way down to even Britney Spears.

Yeah, and its pretty sad too.

I would go with hairstyle number three.

Well, my cousin looks like Avril Lavigne, hair color, hair length, skinnyness, yet I've never thought she was a poser. Also pink isn't someone's trademark

Since pink is a temp dye, it goes off with a few washings. It wouldn't hold as a permanent dye (its too light or something).

I look a lot like my cousin too I'm just a bit taller than she is. Our bodies look very similar, so does our hair lengths and colors. I'm not copying her, and no one accused me of doing so.

and I do want floor length, to hell with dress codes

Its a heavy metal salute, an old gesture from Italy, as opposed to the "peace symbol"  Anton LeVey started using it in the 60s for his satanic church and it spread to metal music.  Total poser stuff now, even Brittany Spears and Celine Dion use it.  That out to pretty much end it.
