Gothic hairstyles are very popular. Although they are the most common among teenagers, there are some adults who also wear gothic hairstyles as well. It would be very hard to specifically state what a gothic hairstyle is, but there are some definite characteristics that gothic hairstyles tend to incorporate.

Gothic hairstyles are certainly not conventional hairstyles. They are often worn by young people who do not yet have to conform to conventionality. Gothic hairstyles are often used by some young people as a form of rebellion against the society they live in. Gothic haircuts were particularly popular during the nineteen eighties. If you would like to get an idea of different sorts of gothic hairstyles, try and get your hands on some pop magazines or pop videos from the nineteen eighties. The internet also has lots of pictures of gothic hairstyles.

Gothic hairstyles are often black, and give an air of mystery, and intrigue. If you have black hair then you have the perfect hair colour for a Gothic hairstyle. Those with blond hair often take the decision to dye it black in order to achieve their gothic hairstyle. Purple and green are other common colours which are added to the black hair to achieve the perfect gothic hairstyles. Of course the gothic tradition also includes wearing dark long black clothes and very dark makeup. You may therefore want to choose your hairstyle to compliment the hair and makeup that you will be wearing.

If you choose a gothic hairstyle then you will certainly need to buy some hair products and accessories. Gothic hairstyles depending on the one you have chosen, involve lots of back combing and crimping. You may therefore need to buy a crimper and if you have long hair and are going to back comb it, you will need lots of hairspray to help it stay in place.

Some Gothic Hairstyles involve wearing dreads. If your hair is short you can always buy some dread hair extensions. One thing is sure deciding to wear a Gothic allows you to really use your imagination, and really go wild!

  1. I want to thank you for the pictures here. I cut my own hair and I was out of ideas so I came here for the search on a new layout for my head (so to say). I love Number 3 but because my hair is thick and not long enough for this cut yet, I had to combine 2 and 3 to come up with my own design...WOW, it is off the charts.
    I have the length in the back and layered it according to #3 then cut is short on the sides like 3 but left a little longer like on #2 by the ears. I also incorporated the variation of 2 on the top but went back to three for the rest of the top cut. I gave it a shorter cut going to the back instead of the more even cut as in 2.
    This allows for variation in style and the wow affect. On tame days I can go to a more calming pattern but on my more adventurous days, I can really zest it up and give it the spike as in #3. It looks fantastic.
    Oh and on the back, I did the layer cut to a less severe degree; allowing for a "Pull Forward" on those more spirited days as well. As I stated: I left the length to the shoulders for visual snap and then I cut the upper portion to bring contrast to the rest of the do....off the charts...thank you again.
