Long hair mohawk at Burning Man (lots of pictures)

[girlthursday]

Hi everyone! I'm back from two weeks at Burning Man and finally uploaded my photos. (http://jesslynlittlepage.com/1/post/2012/09/burning-man-2012-a-photo-journey.html)

While I was there we were camped next to Barber Ella (a camp specializing in mohawks and shaved heads). Several of my camp mates got beautiful mowhawks and I just couldn't resist doing it too. But I didn't want to lose my long hair altogether so... a long hair mohawk it is!

I know there are some rules about posting pictures of hair cuts so you can see more pictures here (http://jesslynlittlepage.com/1/post/2012/09/back-from-burning-man-exciting-news.html), as well as my fiance's new 'do.

[Kyla]

Your new 'do looks awesome with the pink and purple. :) Congrats!

[bunnylake]

That is super cool!

[Beckstar]

That is super cute!

[girlthursday]

Thanks, all!

It's funny because my hair was blue and purple (http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/showthread.php?t=98480). Somehow as it has faded, the blue turned to pink. Strange!

[arielágua]

Wow! It looks terrific in you! Seriously, you look absolutely great, and the hairstyles you managed to achieve compliment your length and also make your sides visible. Really cool!

Thumbs up xD

[joflakes]

Wow, it looks awesome! :D

[Accalia]

WOW It's really pretty! And you've got still so much thickness! Little jealous here... ;)

[MaryMarx]

That looks SO GOOD.

[KAggs]

Your hair looks super awesome. I especially love that do in the second to last picture.

[girlthursday]

Thank you all! I was a little nervous to post this here. :)

I got the bun mohawk idea from Hair Romance. I'd done it several times before I had a mohawk and thought it would look even cuter now. I was rushed when I did this version; next time I will make the buns more even in size.

Also, I used to have much finer, thinner hair. I've always had many, many hairs but they were so fine and flat that my hair appeared very thin. Since I stopped using products (including shampoo/conditioner) and brushing infrequently, my hair has become much thicker and fuller.

Do you WO or SO wash? Just curious.. :)

[edit] WO, I already have my answer by looking at your profile... Lol :D

[Sarahlabyrinth]

Wow, that looks so good! The colours look great too! Wish I had the courage to have a coloured streak in my hair!

[Amber_Maiden]

Love it! So cool!

[KittyBird]

Wow, that's awesome! I adore the 'do with the little buns :D

[gthlvrmx]

i really love this style, how do you do it?? id love to see a tutorial on it! id love to wear that! my hair doesnt spike up :( not even with short hair, it just wouldnt stay up, just fell down. my cousin got dissappointed with that when he tried spiking it, he tried using that gel but it just wouldnt stay. oh well no big mohawks for me but these bun mohawks look cool!

[truepeacenik]

Aaaaannnnd congrats on the cooler water proposal!

[Mya]

Mohawks are cool. I used to have one too. :) During summer, it relieves the heat a lot!

[Dandelion6]

It looks great and you still have plenty of hair to spare. I especially like the bunhawk!

[Beckstar]

Love it! We need a tutorial on how to do a fauxhawk! :)

[girlthursday]

gthlvrmx, since the style is from Hair Romance and she sells a pdf book with this style in it (which is where I learned this style), I don't feel comfortable making a tutorial for it. You can buy her book which is inexpensive and has some very cute styles in it here (http://www.hairromance.com/30-hairstyles-in-30-days). Or you can just check out the pictures I posted and figure it out from those. It's not a particularly difficult hairstyle.

THANK YOU!!! :D:D

[jacqueline101]

Your new do is awesome.

[MeowScat]

That looks so AWESOME!

Your bunhawk is gorgeous, especially with all the colors swirling around. I love that look

It must be so much easier to wash and detangle, too. Have you considered dying the shaved sides?

Enjoy rockin' your new 'do!!

:rockerdud

[dwell_in_safety]

I love that! And that is all. :)

[BrightEyes]

It looks great! I like the colors too:)

[mrs_coffee]

Wow, your hair looks fantastic! I love it.

[browneyedsusan]

That is so cool: the buns, the mohawk, and the color! I've seen a few men with that haircut, but not on a woman. You look chic and edgy! Very nice! :applause

[abbatabba1137]

I'm totally gonna figure out how to fake this!

It looks awesome!
How was burning man? I've always wanted to go...

[Greenfire]

Congrats on your engagement! Hair looks awesome, I love the pony! I had a mohawk when I was younger, a long one too! I had to basically crystallize it with sugar to get it to stand up, and boy does that make your hair hard! (and sticky!) I love the bun! Basically any "hairdo" that looks good on a horse's mane will look great on a mohawk! I'd love to see a diamond braid on you!

[elektra]

Girl Thursday, love the 'do! I'm perusing your blog right now; I really appreciate it so far, especially the parts for self-motivation (lets face it, we all need more of that). Thanks for the pics and blog link!

[akilina]

Yesssssss I love seeing burning man pictures especially on here!!
I used to live in Nevada like an hour away from the BRC. I am sad I have never gotten to go.
Last summer I went to Reno a lot (only a half hour away) For compression and decompression for burning man. They were little festivals/event sorts of things lots of fire dancers and crazy fire things.

[Denebi]

Wow, that looks awesome on you!

[melusine963]

Are you sure you're only a i/ii? Even with the sides shaved, your remaining braid looks way thicker than mine with a full head of hair. I think it really suits you.

[theodora]

Ahhhh I'm so jealous of your amazing do and that you went to Burning Man! Congratulations on your engagement too!

[girlthursday]

Thank you all for your encouragement about my hair, my engagement, and my website. :D

melusine963, I was actually a i/ii before I went WO. I need to change that. I think I'm a ii now, with the sides shaved.

akilina, you should go to Burning Man! If you like the festivities surrounding it, I'm sure you'd like the festival itself. Or try a regional event that's closer to where you live now. My fiance is one of the crazy fire performers. :)

elektra, thanks for checking out my website! I have so much fun working on it and sharing it with the world. It truly is my passion!

Greenfire, I hadn't thought of the similarity to a horse's mane! I'm going to have to do some research and see what I can come up with. I don't even know what a diamond braid is, but I'll find out! Do you have any pics of your 'do when you were younger? I'd love to see it.

abbatabba1137, Burning Man was awesome. I've been participating in regional events here in Texas for 10 years so I wasn't blown away by the main event (so to speak). But I did have a great time and will definitely do it again!

MeowScat, it is easier to manage for sure. :) I did think about dying the sides but I kind of like them natural, especially with the impending wedding!

[afu]

wow, this looks great, so different yet beautiful :)

[beautifulending]

That is so awesome. :D

[aspartame gram]

Many congratulations on the engagement! That is such wonderful news! Also, hurrah to Burning Man!

Love your hair so much! Wonderful colors and cut. :D

[HazyMoon]

Very Cool! I'm happy to see some other ladies with a mohawk on here. I just got one too, but I don't have the awesome colors you have. :cheese:

[umbrellabones]

That is sososo awaesome:)

[girlthursday]

Very Cool! I'm happy to see some other ladies with a mohawk on here. I just got one too, but I don't have the awesome colors you have. :cheese:

I'd love to see your mohawk, whatever color it is!

[AnnaJamila]

You know, in my head I was thinking that a long hair mohawk would look odd but I actually quite like it! That picture where your hair is in a knot at the top of your head is very pretty. :)

[browneyedsusan]

You inspired my bun fauxhawk yesterday! (My sides are still to short to go in, so they got pinned up, and I just mini-bunned the top with bobby pins.)

It's way cuter on you. Just saying. :cheese:

[lacefrost]

I LOVE this! Love love love love love! I love the length of your hair and the colors that are in it and the cut. Just beautiful!
