Hair stuff I like/have had/want

Hair is a huge thing for me because it's one of the only ways I can express myself freely.
I'm only 15, so I'm not allowed to get piercings, tattoos, etc. sadly.
So, my hair is a huge priority and has to be amazing, crazy, and shocking at the same time.

I started wanting to have "different" hair when I was about 12. I wanted super short hair for so long, like a pixie cut. My mom didn't want me to have it because she thought I'd look like a boy. I finally got a pixie cut when I was 13. My mom was right, I got mistaken for a boy A LOT.
So, then I got a fauxhawk. That was definitely cool. But when my hair started growing out, I looked like Justin Bieber. Literally, like most of my freshmen year I looked like Justin Bieber, but with glasses. Right now, I have bleached blonde hair. It's about shoulder length, with tons of layers. It's also a sidecut; I shave the side pretty regularly. I also have 2 dreadlocks just behind my left ear. You can only see them when my hair is up, though, because  I want to be able to get a job still =)

Where am I planning to go with my hair in the future?
I don't know. I'm always changing my mind about things that I want to do with my hair, so before I actually do anything, I need to know that I REALLY will like the style or whatever it is.
I probably will stay bleached for awhile, I think I look good blonde.
I don't want to get anymore dreads just yet because a lot of people won't hire me. And also, I haven't thought about it enough.

I'm gonna talk about all the different hairstyles I like/have had/want.



Sidecut



A sidecut is basically where one side of the head is shaved, and the rest is kept long. This chick's hair reminds me a lot of my own with the colors, at least. I've experimented with bleaching the shaved part, and not bleaching it, and I prefer not bleaching it. It just looks so faded when it starts growing out and it's so obvious, too.



Mohawk/Fauxhawk


So, in my opinion, this is what a REAL Mohawk should look like. Anything that doesn't look similar or resemble this, is not a Mohawk. It is a fauxhawk or something else.
My hair looked a little something like this:
 Except it was my ugly natural color =(



Deathhawk


 Deathhawk hairstyle is one that I really want. It's basically a Mohawk except with longer hair, and more hair. The deathhawk hairstyle derives from the deathrock style, which is a style subgenre of goth. I've been contemplating the pros and cons of getting a deathhawk. But, I think that I should grow my hair out first, and then consider it.
Here's another good deathhawk:



Dreadlocks


Now, dreadlocks and mainly associated with the Rastafarian religion, but alternative or goth dreads is more of what I'm talking about. The reason I want dreads is for the aesthetic but also as a spiritual thing. Dreads to me represent strength and courage. I only have 2, but still, it means something to me.
Oh, and btw that ^^^ is Joji Grey, one of my biggest influences in the gothic subculture. I would not be the goth I am today without him.



V-Bangs



I looove v-bangs! They have such a vampiric, classic feel to them. V-Bangs are mostly a gothic hairstyle, but really anyone can have them, just primarily goths.
I don't think I'd ever get v-bangs just because I can't pull off that kind of thing. Plus, they'd just annoy me I think. I think it does look lovely on some people, though.
