Hello,
I've been unhappy in some way with my hairstyle for as long as I can remember. My parents used to shave my hair short until I got old enough to refuse, and because they never taught me to go to salons or anything I'm really bad at doing it now. Plus the hairstyle I have in my head's a bit strange - or it might not be, but I don't know how to explain it. I'm 19 now and I think it's really time I had something I wanted, but with the kind of thing I'm thinking of I'm worried it has the capacity to go very wrong.
The main things I'm inspired by are men's medium hairstyles roughly 1960-1990, e.g. George Harrison, Jim Morrison, Bruce Springsteen's when it was long - that kind of medium mop hairstyle.
This next part's the strange bit! Ever since I was about 10 or eleven (or maybe before, I can't remember that well), I've been inspired by the hairstyles some male anime characters have. I never saw anything similar to them in reality on anyone else at school, and rarely ever anything resembling the style in everyday life.
I found a couple of images on Pinterest -
This (the middle character) is the kind of thing I mean:
Or maybe something like this but a bit more layered:
I know it depends on factors like face shape, hair type etc - for example the last hairdresser I went to refused to give me any sort of fringe because she thought I had a low hairline.
Also, yes - I do realise these images may not reflect the realities of hair. If what you think I'm asking for is basically impossible, please tell me. I'm not looking for an exact replica, I just really like the style.
Anything on this would be appreciated!
