Horror game protagonist guide
What's so unique and good with this aesthetic is that any hair or hairstyle works. Got bangs - great! Don't have bangs - also great! It's so versatile, anything works.
Although versatile, short hair is the most popular hair length. Most characters are seen having these haircuts - ranging from short bobs to slightly longer, past the chin but not quite toughing the shoulder yet, hair. Short hair gives you a youthful, maybe a little tomboyish and a kind of school girl look. It's also most practical.
Shoulder length and medium hair is basic, cute and feminine. Paired up with bangs, layers or hair accessories makes it simple but cute. It's pretty self explanatory, so let's move on.
The least seen hair length is long hair. It might not be represented as much but it works just as well as the others. Long hair is ultra feminine, working well with the other aspects of this aesthetic. It's least practical, especially when let lose, but what is practical about this aesthetic anyway. Your just here to look cute and survive while doing it.
This being just a general and basic rundown let's talk about other, more unique hairstyles or one's I didn't mention. Going back to short hair - pixie cuts or buzz cuts, though not seen in media, work just as well. They give a nice contrast to the clothes and feminine touches and paired up with cute hair accessories or headbands, distribute the femininity throughout. Hairstyles like braids or locs are super cute and can be accessorized too.
To sum this up - any hairstyle or haircut works as long as you feel good and confident enough to survive.
As I mentioned above, this aesthetic works with almost anything. With hair colors it's a little more restricted. Natural hair colors work best, keeping the neutral color palate.
All three - black, brown and blonde hair can be seen in media, all represented with different shades of each color. So if your one of those basic people like me who's to scared to damage and customize their hair - your in luck!
To the people with red hair or colored/dyed I have bad news. Well ok it's not that bad, really. This aesthetic is very moody and sad, dark, so that pop of color you put in your hair kind of needs to go. Jk. Brighter hair is super cute and will add a nice twist to the otherwise boring and plain colors.
Styling is pretty simple. Most of the time the hair isn't put up, maybe even a little messy to really indicate that distress. But if you have to, then some ideas would be either low ponytails, braids or pigtails. Most preferably all hairstyles should be low on the head, as it gives more calm, patient, introverted vibes instead of the sporty, extroverted and loud energy that hairstyles like high ponytails give off. You should keep in mind the hairstyles should not draw unnecessary attention as you are trying to be discrete and quiet while making your way to safety. If you want more hairstyle ideas, look up 00s hairstyles, as this aesthetic is inspired by that time.
Being finally finished with the hair, next overview will be about clothes and might be even longer than this one... If there is anything I forgot to add or you spot any grammar/spelling mistakes be sure to let me know.
