Gothic Hairstyles

Goth hairstyles have remained since the 1980’s when they were big, literally and figuratively speaking. It was a means of self expression which brought out a darker side of the personality and it became a more subculture with music and an overall lifestyle. In the 1980s, gothic hairstyles had more height and were known for their extra black color or use of bizarre shades of purple or red. To add an interesting effect, some Goth hairstyles were crimped or curled. In this day and age, Goth hairstyles still exist but it is no longer a ‘rule’ to have the hairstyle big or all black. Instead, Goths will still wear black but allow themselves to experiment with various hairstyles that may be more punk rock influenced.
