Stylish Gothic Hairstyles
↓ 20. Amy Winehouse Inspired Backcombed Style
Amy Winehouse, the British singer, brought back this beehive style with a little drama and the cat eyeliner. This will be suitable for girls with long hair. It will also require quite a lot of blow dries and backcombing. Keep your dressing simple with this hairdo so that your hairstyle gets to be the star. Backcombing is an integral part of gothic hair, but there are certain steps to keep in mind when backcombing, such as:
- Start by straightening your hair to avoid any damage; also, make sure that the hair has cooled down before you continue.
- Once the hair has cooled, use a brush to remove any tangles.
- Decide the area in which you want to be backcombed.
- Use a thin comb for backcombing with the best results.
- Once you’re done, use a hair spray to make sure that the hair is set. If you have really silky hair, then you can use a hair gel before you start as well as a hair spray at the end, as this will make sure that the hairstyle stays in place.
