Seems to me most Goths dye their hair black because.. it's black.
.. But what if you live in a country where people naturally have black hair? I say it's no fun at all.
So what does a Filipino Goth (I'm sorry if some of you hate they way I label myself a lot. I think it's because no one else in this part of this archipelago is in the subculture) have to say about black hair?
ONE
Tan skin plus black hair doesn't look so pleasing.
TWO
99% of the population has black hair, which makes yours not so surprising.
THREE
It could sometimes imply that you're still studying.. In a strict school, to be exact.
FOUR
The ordinary hair color's constantly battling off your uniqueness.
FIVE
It could also mean you haven't got the money to follow the brunette/redhead/blonde trend.
I'm actually not a naturally-raven-haired girl. My real hair color is dark chestnut, until I used Cream Silk BLACK and coconut oil on it. It was black until I graduated from the strict Catholic school I studied in from Elementary to High School. I dyed my 90 cm locks with copper blonde + chestnut brown + coffee purple to taste that trendy feeling of having vibrant hair. As I walked along the city streets daily with my new hair, I saw a lot of those young bitches and sluts and "It-girls" wearing plunging necklines, minishorts, and/or sleeveless and navel-showing tank tops.. with the same shades as mine, more or less.
I don't know why but I FELT DEGRADED after I thought about it.
So my thoughts about black hair kinda changed after that life-changing realization. Here's what I think as of now, since my hair's now back to black.
ONE
My hair isn't "slut-colored".
TWO
I am NOT conforming to what the youth of this generation thinks is "beautiful" or "fashionable".
That makes me happy.
THREE
Black hair makes me look so "gawff". Haha ♥
FOUR
It could sometimes make people think I HATE TRENDS.
FIVE
Black from head to foot makes me look darkly amazing.
Have a batty day, darklings -- raven-haired or not. ♥
It's funny how you mentioned that black hair doesn't look "slut-colored". While that applies to everyone where you live, and also where I live (everyone is blonde and tan here), my mother thinks that blonde hair automatically means you're smarter than everyone else (because apparently if you want to go lighter, you're mind is in the right place), and dyeing your hair darker means you have a mental issue and are either plain stupid or demon-possessed. You see, my second cousin is a pole dancer, and she dyed her hair black a few months ago, for whatever reason. She posted pictures of it on FaceBook, and the minute my mother saw it, she called me over and started yelling at me how I'm going to turn into a slut if I dye my hair black, like my second cousin. Why?
ReplyDeleteWell, sadly, that's how some unenlightened people think. Just because your second cousin is raven-haired and a pole dancer doesn't automatically mean you're a slut yourself, right? You know yourself better than anyone else, so how some people think about black hair just because of certain shallow reasons isn't REALLY true at all times.
DeleteSame rule applies, don't give a damn about what others think. Besides, you know they aren't true. :3
Honestly, I think your mom is funny! Hahahaha :>
so all girls that aren't goth and instead follow fashion trends are instantly sluts? wow... just wow.
ReplyDeleteno.
Deletewhile not all people who color their hair the same color everybody goes by today, it is associated with it. I chose black-coloured hair because colouring it will make me blend and disappear into the scenery. I want to stand out inconspicuously. :D
ReplyDeleteEXACTLY! I envy how black hair in your country looks different though :/
