How to Achieve Scene Hair

Scene hair is very distinctive and takes time to achieve. Getting it right may take the help of a professional hairstylist, but most scene kids attempt to do it on their own at home with boxes of product from the nearest drugstore.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Hair straightener
• Ceramic straightener
• Black hair color or bleach
• Bright highlights

1. Grow your hair out to so that the bangs reach at least to your cheeks, if not to your chin.
2. Have your hair cut professionally, or cut it yourself. Taper the bangs so that they cover only one eye. The rest of the hair should seem blocky or choppy. The back of the hair should be no more than a few inches below your hairline at the nape of your neck. Make sure it does not touch your shoulders.
3. Straighten your hair with a chemical straightener. You may need to buy a ceramic straightener as well and do touch-ups after you wash your hair. Hair that is naturally curly even when straightened with chemicals still holds a bit of a wave. You need your hair to be pin-straight to show off its choppiness. This goes for both guys and girls and is most popular for Caucasian kids.
4. Dye your hair black or bleach it until it's bleached-blonde. You can add one streak of color, such as a bright blue or pink, if you'd like to add some individuality. If you dye it black, you may also add a blonde streak to your scene hair.

Tips & Warnings

• Applying too many chemical processes to your scene hair can fry it. Be careful to heed the warnings on the boxes as you straighten, color or bleach, and then add your highlights or dye other kids' hair. The whole process may take a couple weeks to achieve if you're doing it on your own. Go to a hairstylist if you can't wait that long.
