Halloween Hair Help

[St.Germain]

:pumpkin: Okay, so I'm going for a "rock star" look :cool: for halloween, which basically means I'll be wearing jeans and a corset. The problem I have right now is what to do with my hair.

I trust you LHCers better than anyone else on this, since others might suggest I cut it into a mohawk and dye it green.

So, I've got about classic length, and I'd rather not wear it down and loose. All suggestions are welcome. And I suppose feel free to pose your own costume-related hair questions.

You can do a fake mohawk by doing multiple small ponytails one above the other from the nape to your crown, and then finish it off with all the remaining hair on the top of your hair in a poof kind of thing. I know I'm bad at explaining it - sort of like this (http://www.cmt.com/shared/promoimages/bands/n/no_doubt/hella_good/320x240.jpg).

You could try a wig or those clip in colored streaks... maybe bun your hair or whatever and then put in the streaks and let them stick out around the bun...

I dunno... I think rockstar... I think bright colors in the hair.

Odangos (http://kisekae.sailormoonfanart.net/images/sailorxv2/sx2_sample12.jpg)! :D Or, in LHC speak, two bunny-tail buns above the ears. They look best (IMO) with a fringe, so if you don't have one, a clip-in in a bright colour could be fun...

I'm bumping this thread up, just this once, in case anyone else has any ideas before I run out of time.

If you are able to have high ponytail without headache, you could wear that. It was the top hair style when Elvis was young and every girl´s idol, even here in my country.

Kiitos. I may end up doing that, at least part of the time, just to keep it all out of my face while still trying to look the part.

If you've got the time (and probably someone to help you), small braids pulled into high pigtails or double buns could work.

Or you could go beehive (http://stylebell.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/amy-winehouse-2.jpg) in Amy Winehouse style.
Pretty scary! :D

Theres a youtuber called binosusume who has some great tutorials on faux-mohawks (a straight and a curly version)

Heres the link to the straight one one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJorWX3HI3k&feature=channel

Well, now that I've been inspired to do updos, I think I'm going to try out this one: http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/vbjournal.php?do=article&articleid=109. My hair might be too tapered though. But if I can make it work, I think I'll temporarily dye the dangly ends red.
What do we think?

I think two high, slightly messy buns perched above your ears with some random spiky colored bits sticking out would be super cute, and you can get color gels and sprays at beauty stores.
