Scene Coontails

Scene Coontails

Conntails, or strips of banded color which are popular with the scene look, is very easy to do, and here is a step by step guide to get the perfect scene coontails.
First of all, section the hair, with the strips that you want to dye out and the rest of the hair pinned back. It is easier to dye one section at a time, but if you have help from someone else, they can all be done at the same time. If your hair is curly and you want the perfect scene coontails, straighten the hair first. Use scotch tape or another similar item to section the strips of hair in to bands, the parts that you are dying left without the tape, and the bits that you don’t want, taped off. Make sure they are even and wrapped properly to ensure no leakage of the dye on to the banded sections.

Prepare the dye as per the instructions on the packet, some hair dyes will require you to place it on wet hair, while others will need dry hair, so you need to make sure of this before you start. Put Vaseline or another similar substance around the hairline and ears etc. to make sure you do not get dye on your face. Apply the dye to the sections that require it and then leave it for the designated amount of time, before you wash it off, again, following the instructions on the packet.

Skinny and straight leg jeans tend to be the biggest trend within the scene crowd, and these jeans must be of the right fit, with the motto being, the tighter the better. However, you do still want to be able to walk and sit down, so bear this in mind. You could wear them ripped with colorful tights or stockings poking through the rips, and mini skirts, also in denim, can also be worn with these tights.

Classic scene shoes tend to be either Converse or Vans, but girls seem to be in to the ballet pump trend at the moment, but other low heels are acceptable.

Clips and bows worn in the hair are great accessories to complete this scene look, and scarves, jewelry and other items such as these with skulls, spiders, owls and other Halloween type patterns are also a particularly good look.

This positive reinforcement makes kids feel confident and encourages them to stick with the scene trend. In contrast, emo is frequently perceived as negative because of its emphasis on sad and painful emotions. Emo kids tend to fade into the shadows and avoid the spotlight. This is not nearly as exciting as being a scene kid, where having fun and seeking out attention are the norm.
