Visual Kei Hair Guide

So you want vk hair....


1) Decide the style you want...
By that I mean that  basically you have to decide your subgenre. If you would like to be Tanbi Kei a Nagoya Kei hairstyle probably won't work.... If you are not 100% sure about what exactly you want or you like to change every now and then consider getting a hairstyle which can be flexible.(Personally I have half my hair short and  half of them long.) 

2) Prepare your hair....
Make the changes you need. Cut and or dye your hair. If you are going to cut your hair be sure you want to do so cause it will take time to get long again. A good option is to cut your hair in layers (short-medium-long depends on what you want) . Or you can leave it the way it is if you like it. If you dye it be careful not to damage it.

3) If you think you can't make  it the way you want go to a hair salon.....
They probably won't know what a "visual kei hairstyle" is so you better show them a picture of what you want.

4) Learn to backcomb your hair....
If you are aiming for the usual visual kei style we see on the streets then a good idea is to backcomb your hair. Don't be afraid to rise it. Spiky hair is everything! There are plenty of tutorials on youtube showing hot to style visual kei hair.

5) Get everything you need....
Some things you could use to make your hair v-k are the following: 
  • Hair dye (if you want to dye your hair)
  • Scissors (if you cut your hair)
  • Extensions (if you want them)
  • Flat iron ( 99.9% of the times vk hair is straight) 
  •  Hairspray (lots of it) 
  • Hair wax
  • Hairbrush 
  • Hair accesories 
  • Comb 
 6) You can always look your favorite musicians hairstyle to get some inspiration.....

I hope I helped you in your trying to make you hair from normal to visual kei...
