Be a Cool Scene Girl if You're Black

Are you a black girl and you like rock, metalcore/deathcore, and/or alternative music, but you don't really look it? Do you like to go to concerts that have loads of white scene girls with too much hair spray and different colored hair, as well as too much makeup? Well! You've come to the right place.

Steps

  1. Hair: If you want your hair to be as manageable as possible, you should invest in a 'kiddie' perm. The perm will straighten your hair.
  2. Afterwards, take a rat-tail comb (try not to use a brush unless you're most comfortable with that) and comb the front of your hair (from your crown). So it falls into your face or to the side, so it looks like a side bang (if you don't have one). Make sure you've got a good amount of hair (not too much so you don't have any hair in the back and not to little so when you go outside it flows everywhere in the wind). Now, put a clip in it to hold it (and make you look super cute).
  3. Another cute scene style that is acceptable around your friends/family is putting your hair into a low ponytail and letting your bang [of course] and random chunks of hair fall down where your sideburns should be.
    • If you want front bangs do the same thing but instead of moving your hair to the side, just brush it down your face and find a length that you like and snip snip. Also add a hair-clip or headband of your liking. Make sure your hair is dry when you cut it, or your bangs may end up really short!
  4. Makeup: Simple. Just wear some eyeliner (preferably darker), mascara (optional) and some foundation (if you've got some blemishes or acne/zits). You should do brighter and bolder eye-shadows. A sheer white and things of that nature, would just look odd. Remember it all depends on your skin tone.
  5. Clothes/Accessories: Skinny Jeans are a must. Also if you have any graphic tees [tee shirts with words or pictures on them] wear them!. Some major scene characters to wear on your shirt are Hello Kitty, Gloomy Bear, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and basically any wacky looking things. If you don't feel like wearing skinny jeans and you want to wear leggings, do not wear tutus. If you want to wear pantyhose, they must be designed and you have to wear an over-sized tee. For shoes, wear converse, vans, or flats. Nike dunks are also becoming popular. Boots are becoming popular in scene-style also. A long pearl necklace wrapped around two or three times if you feel for it. Bracelets and rings are also cute.

Tips

  • One or two hair clips are good. DON'T GO OVER THAT AMOUNT (unless you can really pull it off without looking like a five year old). Remember: less is more.
  • Don't wear hairspray or gel! It will kill your hair. If anything, just use grease. If you really must use hairspray for a special occasion (pics, shows, etc), be sure to use a really good creamy conditioner for a while before to get your hair nice, or do some hot oil treatments before and after. If you also straighten your hair, this is especially important.
  • Be yourself! Don't do what other people who are scene want to do! You'll definitely be called a poser if you follow the crowd. Hang out with them with your own personality!
  • Get inspired! there are many black scene girls. Like, Alexis Horror or Shakira Systematic! Get Inspired and make it you're own. But don't copy, you'll be called a poser.

Warnings

  • Make sure you're changing for you, not because it's the new trend.
  • Don't throw away your old friends with your new look if you start gaining new ones.
  • Start slowly with clothes and makeup. First off, you will be called a poser. Don't start too quickly because (especially) if you have parents from another country, they'll be all "WTF?" and start complaining about your new look. Remember: Start slow.
  • Don't change too fast, you'll be accused of being a "poser".
