Frosted Tips And Hair Gel

Bleached spikes, held in place by something industrial.

Frosted Tips And Hair Gel

A haircut that required a plastic cap, a hook and forty-five minutes in a friend's bathroom.

The home kits came with a cap full of holes and a crochet hook to pull strands through. The results were rarely subtle and often orange.

Held with gel that dried like varnish. A hand through it made an audible noise.
