Splitting Hairs about Hair in Second Life
As one of my favorite fashion bloggers, Grazia, points out, right now the big event in SL is the Hair Fair. I haven't gone, even though some of the styles I've seen look lovely, because the venue is way way crowded. However, I have been experimenting with hair again, and I thought I'd share a little about that.
If you are a regular reader, you know that I basically kept the first hair I found for my avatar that I liked and felt no desire to change it for a long time. I've only started experimenting with different looks very recently. In real life, I'm terrible with hair. I can't style it at all, and really have no desire to mess with it. This has always been true, even in my teen years and earlier. As a little girl, I had long hair which my Mom kept in braids. I remember crying because I couldn't style my "Barbie head". Did anyone else have one of those? Anyway, I keep my hair short for the sake of convenience these days. In Second Life though, one can change hair styles and colors without too much trouble.
I prefer black generally, because I've found though trial and error that black looks best with my avatar's skin tone. I do occasionally wear white hair though--and pink. For quite a while, I stayed with long "flexy" hair, because I liked the way it moved when I danced. The hair below is from a maker called Hazzard and it is called "Arabian NIghts": I don't remember anymore where I got the dance costume from.
I also have a particular love of hair with flowers in it. My favorite maker for this kind of hair is D!VA. I think the creator is Japanese in this case, and the hair sometimes has a very anime feel. I was lucky enough to find the hair below and a dress to match. By the way, this hair is made of a material called "mesh" so it doesn't really move like flexy hair does, but it sure looks pretty. This hair is called "Ange": The dress is "Adjira" from Bliss Couture
And finally, I hadn't run across any short hair that I liked at all, until I saw this blog post from Juicy Bomb. I knew I had to have that hair and I think it looks great on me. Please do comment and let me know what you think:
