Cyber hair for guys?

[DarkGentleman]

Thanks for the clarity. It's like there is a "two-color rule" when come to making cyber falls even though I have seem ones with 3 or 4 colors, but I think 2 looks better.

Now it seems I have another delemia, my goggles have the purple chrome frame and I not sure if should wear them with either of the cyber falls. I have heard from sides:
The one says-color of the goggles should always match with the falls.
The second says- nah, bugger it, wear any color of goggles regardless of color of the falls.

Does it really matter or should I get a another pair that are black or silver so they can go with any color?

(Sorry if it sounds like a stupid question).

[Saddiction]

I tend to coordinate my goggles with my falls. I have a few different pairs. I have a black pair, a silver pair, and a green circuit board pair. The black and silver pretty much go with anything. I'd wear the green ones in conjunction with mono-toned hair or hair that is accented by green.

This, of course, is personal preference.

[DarkGentleman]

I thought so and it makes sense to have things coordinate with one another.

I know I can get another one this weekend. Hopefully if I can get a silver one as my first choice or black as my second.

I saw a pair of a goggles with Invader Zim Irken symbol lenses in a online catalog. They also had the Combichrist logo ones too.

You guys are amazing! BTW: the Invader Zim one sounds awesome.

Your head smells like puppy.


I might give it a shot of getting those ones myself later this fall. You have an interest in cyber-falls as well, raggedyanne?

I do have an interest, but also a mother who is a strict Lutheran and no driver's license or job. : P

I love GIR! Actually, my hair does smell like my puppy cuz I just used my shampoo on him. Do you have any suggestions for getting into the cybergoth scene without giving my parents a heart attack?

[electrosexual]

You could go blonde and streak a few colors in your hair. Try neon green and/or pink, blue etc :] Keep the color(s) happy and Japanese.

And make a trip to your local hardware store and purchase a nice pair of welding goggles! Like these. Or, if you have the dosh, get a pair of CY-X goggles (They sell them in Cyberdog too). They're a great way of cybering up your look. Wear them on your head, around your neck, and even on your eyes if you're THAT cybercore :P

What does your hair look like now? What color is it? You could even attatch thin strips of foam or rexlace in your hair, near the roots, kind of like highlights, only synthetic ones :P

Hope that helped ^_^

To avoid shit from your parents, I'd go with falls. They're not permanent and are fairly easy to install. They can change your look entirely. I wear mine with a fake fringe to avoid permanant changes to my natural hair since I work in a fairly conservative environment.
I can change my look within 45 minutes, and it's all temporary.

[KontanKarite]

I too am thinking about going the same direction as Saddi with the whole headfull of fake hair and extensions.

The only thing I don't seem to get is how you made the aviator cap look like there was stuff coming out of it, Saddi.

[Saddiction]

I guess you'll have to use your imagination

[KontanKarite]

Mother fuck. I think I know how it was done.

[Saddiction]

How do you think it was done? I'll tell you if you're warm or cold.

[KontanKarite]

It looks as though you used some kind of tubing to make rings on the cap and then kinda stuffed the "pits" with strands of cyber hair, but it LOOKS good. I could be way off.

[Saddiction]

brrrrrr... cold
The tubing at the base of the material was used for accent.

[KontanKarite]

Well gyad dayum. I'll have to take a closer look. Hopefully your striking eyes wont be too much of a distraction.

[KontanKarite]

Well, if they actually ARE falls, I would have to say that they must have been fairly heavy cause damn, girl. That's a lot of plastic tubing.

[Saddiction]

The cap can be heavy to wear during extended periods of time, but that's the price you pay to look interesting

[KontanKarite]

That is true. If I were to go this route, how long would you suggest my hair be? Now that I'm thinking those are actual falls and they're more or less being supported by the cap and rings.

[Saddiction]

Keep in mind that the reason I used the cap was because my hair wasn't long enough to tie into buns. Back to square one

[KontanKarite]

Yes, yes. So you didn't cut any holes into the cap at all?

[Saddiction]

I did originally, but then patched them up because things didn't go originally as planned. I basically had to start over.

[KontanKarite]

Well, I'm thinking on taking a cap, making a single gold ring on the top, a bit toward the back, but not completly and then hot gluing the falls that I do make inside the ring and applying hot glue on the inner walls of the ring and letting the falls stick to that as well. It may not be the same as what you did, but I don't want to end up looking tacky.

[Saddiction]

Just try to use the best of your imagination. The aviator cap was my first attempt at making cyberfalls. I think they turned out rather well.

From what I can imagine, it sounds like a Steampunk themed cyberfalls you are attempting to make, am I correct?

You are VERY correct. I have 14 feet of black wire protector, copper colored wire, that shall be put in the wire protector, black zip ties, black and gold paints, the foam paper.

I need to find an aviator cap. I want to do this RIGHT the first time because I'm starting to understand why cyberfalls are expensive premade now. I also need to find a god damn GOOD kind of glue. Anyone have any suggestions?

I love steampunk, but I tend to always be predominantly black regardless of what steampunk may look like. Usually, I have a wine red dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a black vest, and some black pants, with my knee high metal plated boots. I'll be painting the silver plates gold I think.
