“When I was a kid, and for quite a bit of my teen years, I wasn’t really too bothered with making my hair look a certain way. But then I really got into the Ramones. Their ability to be a counter-culture movement resonated with me. With them, it was long, shaggy hair, leather jacket and jeans. Y’know, relatively plain but alternative in their own kind of way. That gave me confidence in my own hair to not have to be crazy and wild and gave me the licence to express who I am freely.”
“My maintenance isn’t too rigorous. I shower, I wash it, I brush it if it’s matted, I just make sure it’s clean. It doesn’t actually require too much work.”
“I feel like in context of the way I dress, my hair is relatively normal. I think it all just gives off a more alternative vibe in a classical way. Y’know, with my leather jacket and stuff, it’s alternative in a kind of Ramones, early 70’s, New York art scene sense. I would honestly consider it a more subdued look than the people in my circles.”
