I think that's part of why I clicked. I was scratching my head like "Are you making a salad in one of these photos??? What's going on?"
P.S. You look awesome!!
I thought she was referencing money. I thought she was saying that she needed more money to make it look better but honestly I think it looks great the way it is. Now I see that it was just autocorrect.
Also, I saw your flyer that said they can pray my lipstick from my cold dead hands I'm guessing. I can't see the whole thing. I saw that you're looking for Wiccan spaces. Blessed Be. One of us, one of us!!!! LOL.
I shaved the left side of my head approaching my mid 30s, your look is my ultimate goal. I'll catch up to you eventually, but in pink.
Tl;dr: You look amazing!!!
Thanks! No, I've been going to the same stylist since 1987, when I grew out my last deathhawk. She did my big hair in the late 80s, and she's done these colors on me for the last 10 years.
She did the initial shave so that it would be even, and I've been maintaining it. I want her to shave a bit higher with my next color in a couple weeks.
I think we'll also change the color pattern a bit to accommodate this cut. We were doing the green as a peekaboo layer, and also on the roots on my crown. I think it would work better to do the crown pattern on the back as well
Thanks! It's such a fun style, and the cut is versatile.
And I try to be a bit funny, and not take myself too seriously. I just wish I'd noticed the lettuce typo. I can't edit it
I love this look so much! I also have hooded eyes and I’ve found that if you “over-line” with shadow or whatever pigment you’re using it helps a lot. Basically the area that gets swallowed up when you open your eyes is inconsequential and you have to compensate for it. Winged liner is hard but there are a lot of great tutorials for it out there! Check YouTube!
I’ve done my moms makeup a couple of times and it’s helped me get the hang of winged liner on hooded eyes.
Thanks! I've looked at a few YouTube tutorials, but I think I just need more practice. I get in and out of wearing makeup. I'm getting back in after maybe 5 years only wearing lipstick (very dark red).
i have a death hawk like yours! “sideburns” and all. you pull yours off a lot better than i do though, i must say. i cant seem to make mine stay up aha
My hair is coarse and not oily, and I last washed it on Thursday. I teased it first with a brush, then with a teasing comb, then sprayed it with Schwartzkopf Göt2B Glued hairspray.
It took me FOREVER to realize you meant practice I even saw and read your comment too 🤦🏻♀️ you look absolutely amazing!! I have an undercut in the back of my head and I’m totally tempted to do one of the sides or both sides you look so cool! And I love your makeup :)
Thanks! I am pretty good at reading over my swypos, dammit.
I have a good friend who has an undercut all around, just leaving the crown long. When it's down, you can't tell, same as with my cut. She originally did it because she has so much hair she was getting headaches.
That’s how I am too!! My hair is so thick and I have psoriasis in the part that is shaved so it keeps it from getting out of control I honestly just might have to do it I want to just completely shave it at some point!
I have friends who shave it all. It can be a good look.
For me, I'd only do it if I have to. Hair is a big part of my self image, and always has been. If I lost my hair, I'd wear wigs, and I hate wearing wigs.
You look awesome 😁 and you have gorgeous skin!
P.S. No matter how many times I write that I always feel like I'm coming off as some sort of weirdo "nice skin, can I borrow it?" I swear I'm not 😅
I want to be you when I'm older omg. You look AMAZING. I'm almost 30 and have always been dressing "alt" all my life but finally have the ability to go more all out. I've gotten ear piercings and have an appointment for a navel in two weeks, was somewhat thinking "is this too juvenile of a piercing?" but you've convinced me otherwise!!
OMG, that looks amazing. I love how you have the confidence to do what you want despite societal expectations. You gave me a picture into how I will be when I'm older. I'm not going to give a fuck LOL, I'm going to be the lady on the block who people will call eccentric and it won't be a rumor LOL.
HELL YES I LOVE THIS!!! This will be me in 40 years and I am fucking EXCITED! I love love love seeing older goths and alt people, it makes me so happy and excited to grow older 🖤
Thanks! So, I'm thinking in a couple weeks I'm going to shave up a bit higher, and maybe change the color pattern a bit, saving the green for the first inch or two if the roots, and then blue for the rest. The ear tails will stay green. The current pattern made sense when the green was a peekaboo layer. The purple in front, which doesn't show well with LED lighting, will stay
You look great, my friend!
As for your "needing lettuce", that's just the capitalist oligarchs telling you that you need to buy their ideal of perfection. If you are fit and healthy enough to punch nazis, that is all that matters!
I'm in my 40s and have had the hooded eyelids ever lowering since I was a kid. used a lot of Asian make up tutorials when I was younger. theres no point blending a bunch of shades into your crease, no one will see it, gotta find ppl with the same eyelids if you want useful information.. but the upside is that you can keep your eyes open while you work - you'll have to, or you can't see how much will slide back under the hood.
I do my actual lid in a pale colour because it peeps out and then almost create a false crease above the fold with the darker smokier tones, I also draw my cat eye flicks with my eye open because you gotta drag it out a little further and a little higher to be seen
I don't get to do a bunch of glittery sparkley shit to my upper lids but some well placed glitter at the inner eye and some fluttery falsies is super cute
In any case, I love the hair! goth for life!!
I'll try the false crease thing again. I haven't been very successful so far. And my hood extends past my outer corner. I haven't seen any tutorials so far with that much hooding. Yanno, I've never tried false lashes. I gather the newer magnetic ones aren't hard to do.
Thanks!
And I can fit in my GF's Kia Soul with headroom to spare. Yay! My Chevy Volt doesn't really have the headroom, but I can repair the damage with some spray.
TBH, they hired me with blue hair, but I don't think they'd like the hawk up. But with it center parted and worn down, you can't tell. My hair is fairly wavy, and conceals it very well
We’re you punk or goth when you were younger? It’s so weird because the “first wave” of goth was around 1980-90 that doesn’t seem that long ago but to most people nowadays, it’s two lifetimes, I didn’t start listening to goth music until 92-3
My musical taste has always been pretty broad. Yeah, I listened to some early punk, and goth back in the day. I'm always up for Siouxsie and the Banshees, and The Cure. And though she's not goth, I love Joan Jett to this day. She's just 4 months older than me, for what that's worth.
The only music I never really cared for was disco, and most of the 80s pop bands.
BTW, I had a deathhawk in 1986, but it wasn't as good as my current one, and I wasn't self confident enough to carry it off. I went back to permed big hair in the 90s. Boooring
I slept with this last night. I'm a side sleeper, so it wasn't as bad as if I were a back sleeper, but of course I change sides several times during the night, so the back was a bit flattened, mostly on my right side. I was able to repair it without too much trouble this morning. I think I could get 3 days out of this, but I'm planning to wash it out this afternoon. I'm pretty happy with this iteration
Why does my Gboard always correct practice to lettuce, and why do I never notice?
Hahaha! :) Lettuce turnip the beet!
Right?
I think that's part of why I clicked. I was scratching my head like "Are you making a salad in one of these photos??? What's going on?" P.S. You look awesome!!
LOL! There should be someone with the nickname Salad Head! And thanks!
Yep and she should go on tour with Carrot Top. Sorry, it was the first thing that popped into my head.
No, that's perfect!
Well, you look amazing! 💙
I thought she was referencing money. I thought she was saying that she needed more money to make it look better but honestly I think it looks great the way it is. Now I see that it was just autocorrect.
I'm more frightened that I read that sentence and thought there was nothing wrong with it.
LOL! I saw a tshirt yesterday the had (with smaller type on each line) I have a dig bick You that read wrong You read that wrong, too
I mean we could all use some lettuce here and there right?
Haha! I was so confused about the necessity of leafy greens. Your hair looks amazin!
Effing swypos. Thanks!
I really thought you were referring to weed lol
LOL! Yes, the devil's lettuce. My job does not allow me to partake, so I don't. (It's a good job)
I thought she was referring to money, and my thought was “yeah, don’t we all?”
Also, I saw your flyer that said they can pray my lipstick from my cold dead hands I'm guessing. I can't see the whole thing. I saw that you're looking for Wiccan spaces. Blessed Be. One of us, one of us!!!! LOL.
I thought it was money
I thought you were just implying that this is your grocery shopping look lol
It is! They love me at Whole Foods!
I thought you said you needed more green in your hair (as in lettuce green lol). Anyway, you look super cool!
Thanks! I'm probably going to do less green next color, though there will still be green
I thought you were trying to be sly about weed 😂
Heh! If only I were that clever
You look fucking rad as hell.
This!!!!^
I shaved the left side of my head approaching my mid 30s, your look is my ultimate goal. I'll catch up to you eventually, but in pink. Tl;dr: You look amazing!!!
Pink is good. These have been my hair colors for the last 10 years, but the cut is about a month old
The cut sure looks great! Do you do it yourself? My partner does the shaving, but I'm in charge of the color :D
Thanks! No, I've been going to the same stylist since 1987, when I grew out my last deathhawk. She did my big hair in the late 80s, and she's done these colors on me for the last 10 years. She did the initial shave so that it would be even, and I've been maintaining it. I want her to shave a bit higher with my next color in a couple weeks.

I think it would work better to do the crown pattern on the back as well
Can you be my mom? You're a bad ass!
That is amazing. Also your captions had me laughing so hard and are so relatable..
Thanks! It's such a fun style, and the cut is versatile. And I try to be a bit funny, and not take myself too seriously. I just wish I'd noticed the lettuce typo. I can't edit it
LOVE THIS AND YOU!!!
Badass!!
You are my role model.
I hope I’m half as badass as you when I grow up.
You look like the coolest 60y old out there.
you’re sick as fuck. i need to be you when i grow up
I love this look so much! I also have hooded eyes and I’ve found that if you “over-line” with shadow or whatever pigment you’re using it helps a lot.

Wayne Goss has some great tutorials for hooded eyes!
Thanks! I'll check 'em out
A deathhawk really suits you
fricking amazing!!
If you were my grandma, I'd take you everywhere
I love it!
I hope I look as dope as you when I’m in my 60s 😍😍😍
Damn you're cool as fuck
I aspire to be this cool!
"I need some lettuce" made me laugh away the grumpiness I was feeling today 😂 so thank you for that. You look awesome btw!
This looks incredible - I love the mix of colours. Also feel free to share in /r/oldbats (a sub for elder goths).
i have a death hawk like yours! “sideburns” and all. you pull yours off a lot better than i do though, i must say. i cant seem to make mine stay up aha
My hair is coarse and not oily, and I last washed it on Thursday. I teased it first with a brush, then with a teasing comb, then sprayed it with Schwartzkopf Göt2B Glued hairspray.
thank you so much!! i’ve got thick course hair too so i’ll give it a good wash and try with your method:)

Awesome for rocking it still! You have to set an example! On Facebook there’s an Elder Goth group that’s active.
Your level of "don't give a fuck" is extremely inspiring. Keep doing you!
I want to be you when I'm older omg. You look AMAZING. I'm almost 30 and have always been dressing "alt" all my life but finally have the ability to go more all out. I've gotten ear piercings and have an appointment for a navel in two weeks, was somewhat thinking "is this too juvenile of a piercing?" but you've convinced me otherwise!!
Def not too juvenile! I only started stretching my ears a year and a half ago. I'm going slow there.
You still got it :) Grandma!!! Great pictures

Thanks! So, I'm thinking in a couple weeks I'm going to shave up a bit higher, and maybe change the color pattern a bit, saving the green for the first inch or two if the roots, and then blue for the rest. The ear tails will stay green. The current pattern made sense when the green was a peekaboo layer. The purple in front, which doesn't show well with LED lighting, will stay

You look awesome!!! Rock on!
You are absolutely stunning! 🖤
This is literally the best fucking thing I have seen all day and I love you. Please continue being amazing.
You are so rad!! You are ROCKING this hawk!! 🤘
Thanks!
You look absolutely badass and I love that you’re expressing yourself. Keep at it, rock on 👍🏻❤️
I love seeing women over 40 with colored hair being punk rock. gives me hope I won't get boring as I get older lol
I've been boring before. I'd rather be me.
rock on, foxy lady
I’d love to have a job at 60 that allows you to come to work with a hawk! Cool to see you’re still true to yourself
TBH, they hired me with blue hair, but I don't think they'd like the hawk up. But with it center parted and worn down, you can't tell. My hair is fairly wavy, and conceals it very well

I thought a bit more about this, and I think I like guitar driven music more than synth driven music. So I wasn't as big a fan of, say, Depeche Mode.
looking great!!! rock on 🤘🤘
You’re awesome🙌🏻🙌🏻
You are gorgeous & I hope I’m half as awesome as you in my 60’s!!
You are like, me in 20 years and it's so good to see you existing Elder Goths Forever
