I really love the bad high school girl gang vibe going on. Moreover, I totally adore when Asians go white/platin blonde. I always did. I guess the only hair color I would ever go for, if I was to change it, is peroxide blonde.
How can the thought of peroxide blonde Daul Kim or this girl shot years ago by The Sartorialist not blow you off your feet!?
Actually, after I photographed the girl with the super long blonde hair above, I saw another girl with a heavy middle-length bob and heavy bangs in a pink-ish blonde, which looked just as cool, though a bit like a wig. Which makes me think I should get a blonde wig sometime.
And another confession. I once really seriously considered getting dread locks. My mum had already asked some of her African friends if they can do it for me. However, I chickened out last minute. I guess the most drastic thing I ever did with my hair was shaving one side off. Anyway, on to my picture.

I actually really liked this woman's style. Kinda ethno-hippy and sloppy, but somehow special. However, at first I thought her dread locks grow out weirdly. Kind of normal at the roots, but in dreads half way. Upon closer look I noticed that simply her top hair is not dreaded, but only the underhair, which made it look that way. Dread locks have become so rare! I have not seen many in Tokyo, but come to think of it, people with dreads got less in Germany, too.

I have had both blond hair and dreads at one point (simultaneously, for a bit, as well) - both fun but also a high maintenance. though im glad ive experienced both.
My sister had dreadlicoks a couple of years back, and I think it takes a certain person to be able to get them, cheek bones are a must, and some degree of beauty-making you pefect(cringe , lol).I love asian school uniforms, and peroxide is indeed stunning on japanese girls, unlike on me-I looked rough and it ruined my hair condition.
Have agreat day.

Oh, I love the woman with the short blond, 80s cut. Awesome.
i think dreads would be so fun for awhile, but the de-dreading process .. shaving the head? would be a bit extreme for me!
love the blonde! go for it!!! i like the dreadlocks too..i hope you try one or the other and post pics!
Sarah A., thats what Ive heard. But I have always admired people who have done either or even both! Heres to being experimental!!!
Magic Doll, I always thought people got prettier as soon as they had dreads.
Copperoranges, true!
Woahhh, crazy hair! I don't like peroxide blonde on Asian's, it makes me feel a little icky, but I can't decide if dreadlocks are better.
I love sneaky pix! These are great.
An ex-boyfriend of mine had dreads, it looked really good on him :) But every time I spent the night in his bed my hair'd get greasy too :s. You shaved half your head? Wow, I'd never have the guts to do that. Furthest I went were peroxide streaks (really awful, but for some reason really popular in middle school). I actually think you'd look great with pink hair (like the pink wig Scarlet Johansson was wearing in Lost in Translation)
Great photos! How are you liking Japan? Check out my latest post interview with the Japanese designers of writtenafterwards

I went through a blonde phase til my salon in my college town (so not my regular one) dyed my hair all over blonde instead of giving me the blonde-like highlights I had requested. It wasn't bleach blonde, but it was pretty damn light and about a month later I had it dyed back to black and it's been black ever since!

luv mini skirts...girls lookin hottttttttt!!!!!
Right before going red, I had to bleach my hair and I was a blonde for about 5 minutes. I am now seriously thinking about trying out blonde asap because I think the bleached out look is really amazing!
love the bleach blond sort of punk hairstyle...awesome blog btw
I feel the same way as you! I have always loved peroxide blonde hair on Asians. I myself have always wanted to do it, but have never had the guts. I did red, purple, and blue streaks, but never peroxide blonde. I also always wanted dreads, but that was a little too troublesome for me to go through. Love the blog :)
