Do you need to be cool

To have cool hair?

So on my social media mums group there's a stunning lady with hair half ginger half brown, I love it, I want it but I'm not cool.... so I was thinking do you need that certain look to have certain hair? Such as goth/emo type looks with black/pink/green/blue hair?

Or can a plain Jane run of the mill me pull off the cool half and half hair?

"Do it "

I had the discussion with the Mr he said do it then changed his mind and said she has that emo look though (she did look absolutely amazing) then I found myself agreeing and chickened out.

Cool is just confidence. I’ve never met anyone who in class as cool that gives a shit what anyone else thinks.

You just need confidence. Your life is too short to worry that some people might not think you look cool enough. I say go for it if you love it. It's easy enough to change if you don't like it.

Anyone can do or be anything they want to be! If you like it go for it and fuck anyone else's opinion, will always go back eventually.

Actually yeah your probably right, so maybe the confidence lacking plain Jane should just stick to boring hair and be safe

You are right, I'm lacking in that department, I need a confidence slap

Do it…. You’re already cool just for wanting it.

One person's cool is another person's absolute complete twat.

So in the end does it really matter what's cool to some so long as it is to you?

We watched the new Matrix recently..seriously don't bother...anyhoo I loved one of the characters hair style, and thought damn I want that style!

I wouldn't be brave enough to go blue though, am certainly not cool enough!! but am considering the change...maybe?,not sure?, will have a think about it?

C currently has purple hair…she wanted to try different colours for a while and now she’s got the confidence to think f**k it!…she suits it but if she didn’t then at least she tried.

Do it!

Just because you don't you're cool, doesn't mean the people around you don't think you are. Plus I think once you make one bold decision, you start making more as you become more confident with how you want to look.

I had 18 spikes on top of my head and the rest clippers no grade when I was young, bleached tips and changed the colour every couple of weeks.

Just do it if you want and like how it looks

You don't have to dress exactly to a scene's aesthetic to do your hair that way. If I did that I'd have to be dyed black with probably something bright cutting into it.

I want white blonde hair and a tiara over my obvious goth dress sense, and as long as I fucking own it in my own mind, that's what counts to me

"You don't have to dress exactly to a scene's aesthetic to do your hair that way."

The real issue here though I feel is not that the hairstyle is "too cool for you" OP but that it is unusual for everyone. Can you sustain the looks & mixed comments (highly dependent on where you live tbh), then yeah you're good to go. That's the price to pay for being cool in that alt way!

Also since your hair is long, not sure if you dye your hair at all but it is a commitment, bleaching even more so, it'll take a while to grow the whole length out so it'll influence your style choices for a while (not the split head thing so much as you can always treat the other side to match if you absolutely hate it, but the texture changes and altered colours).

I have epic hair. It just grows like that. It would look shite if I didn't mind it well and get a very very good stylist to take care of it for me.

I feel so cool when I'm having a good hair day. It does so much for my confidence.

Looking cool is feeling great and feeling genuine.

Do it!

The geezer paradox

Old guys aren't cool, but no longer care about looking cool, or impressing others, so become cool.

How easy would it be to maintain?

The only style regrets I have hair and clotheswise are the ones I didn't try.

Short version: To put it simply... no.

Longer version: The word 'cool' is subjective. We define things as cool when they appeal to us. Therefore, to be cool is just a personal subjective preference of what appeals to one or many people (so it's not an overall impersonal truth). You are cool if you feel you are what that word expresses. I got my hair dreaded recently, and there is a train of thought somewhere out there that white people shouldn't get dreads because of cultural appropriation. Now I could either think i'm being rude in some way for wanting and getting them, or enjoy the hair style (I've acted on the latter ).

No, but your choice of clothes can make you look cooler.

This one time I put on a bright pink miniskirt and a denim shirt, I must have looked so cool because everyone was looking and I didn't even touch my hair

I'm not sure cool is how I would describe that look.

Anyone can pull off any hairstyle or outfit they choose to have or wear, just remember all the funky hairstyles and colours take more upkeep than standard colours as an example. So you need the extra time to maintain the look so to speak.

I say go for it, I've had every colour hair imaginable and tempted to ditch the blonde again now.

Do it if it'll bring you happiness. It's as simple as that really.

Don't focus on whether you're cool or not, will you be happy? If so, do it.
