spookyloop:Lately I’ve been getting negative messages about having brown hair and how I should change it. I also received a lot of positive, supporting ones in response (you guys rock!) but sadly many of them included a wish to have my confidence. So I wanted to show you some photos.This is me. I am a goth, I have brown hair, and that’s the way I like it. My hair colour doesn’t make me any less of a goth and it doesn’t make my love for the subculture any less valid. What it does do is make me feel pretty when I dress up which in turn gives me confidence.It took me years to actually come to terms with not being able to have dyed hair because what I kept hearing was “you need to look like the stereotype, and if you don’t you’re not one of us”. Not only is that an effective way of driving people away from a subculture and a blatant lie, it can also be devastating to hear. (Nothing wrong with looking like the stereotype though. If that’s you preferred style keep looking awesome!) I’m not changing my hair because someone doesn’t find it attractive or because it means I’m not “true” in their eyes. If we start telling other goths how we want them to look how can we ask non-goths to respect our spooky likes and looks?We are not decorations and we should not be told or expected to change ourselves to fit a mold if we don’t feel comfortable in it. Have black hair, brown hair, blonde hair, purple hair, green hair, anything in between… The important thing is you like it and you feel comfortable. You’ll look gorgeous no matter the hair colour (or no hair at all)!You look gorgeous with brown hair! It’s ridiculous that people would get mad over something so trivial as hair colour. -- source link
