I am trying to do something with my hair, Aug 11th I'm getting my hair done. I'm trying to find something that would look good on me. There's a girl on here who is intent in saying I'm the fatter rip off of The Raven, I don't have any problems with The Raven, and I agree she is very pretty. But none of this is a "rip off" of trying to look like her, I do what I do to my hair because I can do it, and it looks cute. I don't do it to please people or look like someone else...so please...

I'm also not trying to be "emo" or scene, I hate labels, I'm sorry I find this type of hair attractive..

I haven't had bangs since 5th grade, then I started side parting. My side part irritates me because even I sweat just a little bit, especially in the hot weather around here my bangs split and it looks like they haven't been washed, which looks disgusting. So I want to get bangs, choppy razored ones. Like so.

Coon tail is when you have either dark or light hair and put lines of a lighter or darker colour in it. I'm going for black or very very dark brown hair, with blonde coon tail. I'm not sure If I should put it in the back (where my hair comes over on my shoulders, it would actually be in the front) of if I should do it on the sides near my face.

Here is an example of a coon tail and probably the colour I'm getting my hair done.

Just make sure the animal print is what you really want. I got tired of mine really fast. I ended up dying the coon tail red after a girl in my class came in one day and walked up to me, giggling, and said "Hey Raven, look:" and showed me that she had put a coon tail in her hair, in the EXACT same place as mine was.
Not that I'm accusing you of copying me, either, just saying, I had a lot of people ( A FUCKING LOT ) copy me in high school. Especially my hair. It was pathetic. The only difference with the girl that copied my coon tail was that she had blonde hair, and black stripes.

Who tried to say you're trying to rip me off though? It's not like coon tails are unique at all. These days they aren't as popular anymore, and they weren't when I did mine either, but still.

Coon tails look so skanky. But I love the hair in the first pic. I'm growing my hair out so I can get a similar hair style.

How do they look 'skanky'?

They just look dirty. It looks like when they dyed their hair they failed miserably and are too poor to fix it.

To each their own. I got nothing but compliments on mine when I had it. Actually, people were more surprised by the fact that the process of how I did it was so simple than anything else.

You just contradicted yourself.
You said not to go for animal prints, but then said how cool coon tail hair looks. So which is it? I'm pretty sure you're confusing the OP too, not just me.

Coon tails make me want to throw up.

And maybe it makes people think of trailer trash because it's called "coon tail??"
1) Coon-->Raccoon-->Rummaging in trash-->Trailer park in the woods-->Trailer trash.
2) Coon-->Racial slur-->Surly old white men with beer bellies-->Trailer trash.
