In the spirit of trying new things, I let Skylar and her team do whatever they wanted to my head. If you had the option, wouldn't you do the same?

If you could try out any hairstyle, what would it be? OR would you stay the same? Are you afraid of change? What makes a hairstyle so precious? Discuss.

Trying something new is always a scary prospect for most people - Hair is defining feature in quite a lot of people, and to let someone radically change it... Well, i would certainly be fearful! It depends on how much you trust the person to do something that would suit you!

So being ginger a lot of people ask me if I would die my hair. the answer is NO. I dont ever want to die my hair (I do however want to try dip-dying the tips). Being ginger is part of who I am. I love my ginger hair and I wish other red heads would embrace the ginge instead of shun it.

*DYE not DIE

I'd love to change my hair someway, but I feel like I wouldn't be able to. My hair is REALLY curly. Sometimes I wish I could have short hair, but when I tried that, ...it was pretty horrible. Never doing that again. My friend that plays around with her hair a lot recently shaved off a side (I don't know what that's called, haha, sorry). I even saw a girl at the mall with the same thing yesterday, and it looked good. The only problem is that if I got it and didn't like it, it would take about 2 years for my hair to grow back to the length it is now. I guess I should just keep it the way it is. Alright, I'll shut up and stop talking about myself now. :P

I used to be really afraid of changing my hair when I had it really long, which is funny because it looked absolutely terrible and I was the only person in the world who couldn't see that.
But right now I'm totally comfortable with who I am and how I look so I would love to let someone just do whatever they liked with my hair.

If it looks terrible afterwards, it's always going to grow back, so I'd just have to wear a hat for a few weeks!

Trying things can be wired but sometimes you have to push yourself and try new things hair some people like to play it safe but I think you should have what would make YOU happy not something that is the fashion and you have it because your friends do I would love to go in a hair dresser and say anything different would be lovely I got this hair spray with are wash out dies I do one half red and one half blue. becuse I LIKE IT

I went for a drastic chance at the end of last year when I got my hair cut really short after having long hair forever and I love it! Friends and family have said how much they like it and I've been getting a lot more attention =) So, if you feel like completely changing your hair or even just a little bit, just go for it! Like with everything in life, if you don't try it, you'll never know!

I'd love to get the chance to go for something really drastic with my hair, I feel like it's something that defines you, you don't see certain hairstyles with certain personalities, but as a ginger I feel like I would be betraying my race, as well as have people think that's why I changed it

do you think that people should dye there hair when they arre14 my sister thinks not

I tried out a lot with my hair up until now. I had it really short when I was in 8th grade and liked it then, but now I think it looked horrible. I had curly hair just two years ago and liked that a lot, but it damaged my hair too much. I had black hair and red hair and liked both of those colours when I decided to get them but wouldn't do it again. Now, I've been thinking to bleach my hair. It's something I haven't done before and like to try out. But I also like my hair the way it is now...
I met a girl in London who got a different crazy hair colour every month. That was awesome! I'm not the person for crazy haircolours though. Not confident enough. I think your hairstyle defines you a lot and people get first impressions of you from it.

And Hannah, I dyed my hair black when I was 14. No regrets, but I wouldn't do it again.

kk thanks

I started taking interest of my hair when I was 13, that's when I had my biggest change of hair style. I had a fringe cut in and had it cut much shorter.
I'm always paranoid on how my hair looks, it has to be perfect before I leave the house, even though, seconds later the wind ruins about 15 minuites of styling.
Two days ago I dyed my hair the reddest I've ever gone, and I'm loving it!
I wouldn't mind having a complete change of hair style again, but I think it would have to be with someone I know, and have a vague idea of what it will end up like.

I'm one who is very, very conscious of their own image, and it honestly scares me to imagine myself in a vastly different manner. This applies to my hair, my dress sense, my general aesthetic in design etc. I'm always one who prefers a t-shirt and jeans, simple short-cut hair and a nice pair of standard trainers. I'm not even remotely adventurous. Anyone else the same as me?

Totally with you on t-shirt, jeans and trainers Jack, I don't ever wear anything different. Now the more I think about it the more I see that I do have a fairly specific style, my hair is the only thing I could see myself changing.

I'm the opposite Jack, I have a really outrageous fashion sense, dressing in bright colours, bow ties and combat boots, while although my hair is ginger I never do anything with it really. its really long - down to my waist - and I normally just leave it as it is...

I feel like I'm the same way. I'll just wear jeans, (even though sometimes they'll have patches on them or something, but usually they're just a plain, simple color) a t-shirt, and plain sneakers.

i like to wear jeans and a nice top but if im going to town i like to wear black i like the couler im not goth

@Amy

I'd love to be able to have some form of outgoing dress sense, because I see a lot of crazy stuff and I love the idea of it. I guess my main problem is that I value other's opinions higher than my own, and it scares me off even trying, especially when I saw the reaction that Tom got when he had a hairstyle I thought looked really good. People just immediately made fun of it.

I'd hate that, personally. It's why I constantly play it safe.

jack im the same but im starting to realise that as long as im happy other peoples Opinions dont mater

@Hannah

Whilst the ultimate pursuit in life is to be happy no matter what, I (for whatever reason) feel a certain obligation to appease others as well as myself. When it comes to my appearance, I really go for what others want, and it's how I've been pretty much all my life. A ducky sweater is arguably the most outlandish thing I've ever worn, and it was easy to get away with around my social group of friends.

I'm very, very weary of what others think of me, always have been. Each to their own. :)

I agree with you on your opinion about crazy styles, Jack. I, too want to waer something completely outrageous sometimes, but secretly I would be shitting myself thinking about what others thought of me when I would do it. Although most people might just think it's brave or even cool, like I do when I see other people dressing up. When I'm away from home I get a lot more confidence from the fact that no one would ever know who I was if I weren't to tell them. That's why I love travelling so much - it's a way to invent yourself new and still be true to yourself, because when you come back, it's always how it used to be. And maybe that's why I'd want to make youtube videos myself. But, as with the hair, other's opinions still frighten me.

Jack, sometimes the best part of wearing something crazy is the weird, judgey looks I get from people. I enjoy smiling back at them like there's nothing wrong. It just ticks them off even more :P

I think the problem is expectation. If you haven't always been a little crazy with either your style or your hairstyle it freaks people out completely. People want to see what they're used to and I think that's also why they judge people, that don't fit their expectations like you, Amy. It's just the first superficial thing we can start judging on to comprehend the person behind that surface.

I'm probably in Jack's position. I find it terrifying to radically change my appearance even though I would like to. I have begun to break out a little by getting some awesome unique and totally non-generic t-shirts as of late but I'm still to move on and barely dare to touch my hair (partly because I have no Idea where to start). That said when I'm out and around in my kayaking gear I do enjoy the weird looks I get but I feel justified in wearing it because it has a purpose.

I'd totally take advantage of an opportunity like getting your hair done by the WORLD'S BEST stylists! I actually get bored with the way I look pretty quick, so I'm not afraid of change when it comes to that. It's just that it really affects your first impression on others. I wanted natural looking black hair for a while and was hesitant to do it for fear of looking "goth." I want to go ginger soon, but will have to fight my parents to let me because they are still afraid of my dramatic changes (even though that's a natural color that people are born with--I don't get it lol). I dream of having bright purple hair but they'd murder me in my sleep haha

I think the reason people have kicked up such a fuss about deans hair is that its kinda become an icon. Also the fangirls are kinda shocked that he actually has a forehead. ;) as for me, I have lots of hair, and I'm sort of reluctant to do anything with it. What I WOULD like to do is henna dye it. I think red would be awesome, and henna isn't very bad for your hair.

My hair is what I like most about myself and I think that's because I have full control over it. If I want it to be straight I'll flat iron it, If I want to change the color I'll dye it. There's so many various things you can do to change it that you'll eventually find something you like. I, for example, get bored with my appearance quickly and like to switch it up often. So I have two parts of my hair bleached and every couple of months it fades I dye it a new crazy color. It keeps me interested and makes me feel better about myself.
And actually after seeing all the pictures of everyone's new hair I decided to finally redye it after a whole summer of it being blonde. It's now a red that fades into orange and I completely love it.

My hair is what I like most about myself too(yes, control, exactly), that's why i'm a bit weird about it. I like changing colors, i went from my natural blonde hair into brown making it a shade darker every time and finally into black and now I'm going into red and i love it. When it comes to length and haircuts, that's different. I wanted my hair to be long since i was little, I had hair down to my waist but then my mum took me to a salon and they cut most of it off (i swear, i'm still traumatized). They gave me my cut-off ponytail and I kept it for years, only threw it away this year because my hair are finally really long again (weirdo). And just generally i've developed deep distrust towards stylists after a few "incidents" with my hair

So, no, i most definitely wouldn't let a stylist do whatever they please with my hair. I always look for ways to change it up without sacrificing the length though. Sometimes, i think of cutting it off but i know, i'll regret it mid-haircut. It's easier for guys in that sense, whatever you do, you hair can grow back to normal within a year. I was growing out mine for years and years.
So, to Jack, Nick and Mathew, try going out of your comfort zone and if it doesn't work out, you'll be back to normal in a couple of months anyway but at least i'h tried something new. And about clothes, i don't see why you wouldn't try changing it up, if you want to. It's the least permanent change ever, just do it.

What makes a hairstyle so precious is that it's still a part of you. If you don't like your nose or lips, there's not much you can do about it but hair you can control so, naturally, you want to make it the best it can be.
Steph mentioned her friend shaving off a part of her hair and i think for a lot of girls (including me, of course) this is one hairstyle they wish they could pull off. Not a lot can though.

I've never been hugely precious about my hairstyle. I will say that I have some trepidation about adopting particularly outlandish stylings, though. But I think that stems more from a preference not to draw a huge amount of attention to myself.
I have done some drastic things (mohawks, bleaching, dying etc.) but for the most part, I forget it's on my head until someone brings it up. :p
I think for most people, hair holds a lot of status. It's one of the most acceptable forms of personal customisation and a way to express yourself (more controversial being tattoos and piercings). A lot of young people's first acts of [rebellious] personal expression is to dye their hair.
