Goth hairstyles: Our Instagram round-up
While gothic hair is characteristically defined by being ultra dark and choppy, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you can’t rock other hair colours. Take this Instagrammer for instance, she’s opted to give her look a contemporary twist by rocking this soft mohawk and bold red hair combo. Nailed it, girl! Credit: @unfade_leo
Let’s be honest, there’s no other vibrant hair hue that screams goth better than an almost fluorescent purple! This vivid colour will be sure to have heads turning wherever you go, especially if you pair it with a sultry smokey eye and a stunning burgundy lip! Credit: @annathevoice
Tip: If you’re considering dyeing your locks a bright gothic shade, then you’ll need to switch up your current wash and care system to help maintain your colour vibrancy. We suggest trying the TRESemmé Colour Revitalise Shampoo and Conditioner.
When bright colours aren’t your cup of tea, it’s time to bring things back to basics and work a more traditional goth hairstyle. Simply dye your mane a sleek, raven shade of black and cut in some blunt bangs. This look works especially well if you have ultra long locks, styling your hair pin-straight, and tying the whole gothic look together with a bandana and spiked choker of your choice!

If it’s a slightly more muted look you’re after, but one that is still totally on-trend, look no further than a chic shade of grey. This light, almost silvery, hue is the ideal colour option to choose if you don’t want to commit to dyeing your locks super dark. When paired with a choppy, full fringe and some shimmering eye makeup, you’ll look like a true goth Queen on Halloween! Credit: @charlottealicecollier
If you have black hair and love to make a statement, why not opt for a drastic mane change by getting an edgy mohawk? While this goth hairstyle is a bit more daring than the rest, it’s still totally on point thanks to it’s ultra dark hue and unique, sky-high texture. Just give yourself a swipe of black lippy and a flick of dark eyeliner, and you’re good to go! Credit: @vizion_inpitch
