Kind of backcombing it then parting on wrong side and bringing it forward.

tethersend · 22/05/2010 21:29

That's so last year.

This season's all about the messy topknot.

PussinJimmyChoos · 22/05/2010 21:29

We require a link so we can take the piss discuss....

moondog · 22/05/2010 21:30

Yes, i was thinkni of putting 'weird teenage girl style' into google but may not come up with goods.

They often do it in pigtails (low on nape of neck) and then sulk about in cheap ballet flats and skinnies, with checked shirts and loads of eye liner-oh and often annoying Alice band thing in hair.

Sounds very 60s.......

funnysinthegarden · 22/05/2010 21:32

moondog, you are describing all teenage girls here, sulk about, annoying etc. I god I wish I were young again........

chesgirlNOTgriffins · 22/05/2010 21:46

Utterly ridiculous.

Why cant they be sensible and spend three hours sorting our their mohicans?

Sigh - those were the days.

mrsgordonfreeman · 22/05/2010 21:52

I saw one of those in the library the other day. I was staring at her for ages, wondering how long it had taken her to get her hair like that.

Let nobody say that kids today lack discipline and application. There's no way I could be arsed to do my hair like that. I would also look very stupid if I did.

foureleven · 22/05/2010 21:54

I do this and Im 34

I look hot though and my years have earned me the right to do things like this without judgement

Monty100 · 22/05/2010 21:55

I'd love to be a teen now. I love the fashion vibe at the minute.

funnysinthegarden · 22/05/2010 21:55

chesgirl, did you have a mohican? I simply did not have the necessary application. Ended up with a sort of backcombed quiff topped of with a leather gayboy cap

thatsnotmymonkey · 22/05/2010 21:56

hA, me and my mates call it the "double dirty"-

it is back combed, fluffed up massive side parting hair combined with ALOT of makeup, mostly khol and blush.

they skulk around topshop.

cornsilkcottagecheese · 22/05/2010 21:57

I used to put sugar in my hair in my teenage years to achieve Robert Smith spikes. I would be chased by wasps on sunny days.

Shoshe · 22/05/2010 22:03

I had a bright purple mohican DM was mortified that I went to the Maternity Hospital like it She used to beg me to wear it down

Now I dispair of DGd and her comb over

funnysinthegarden · 22/05/2010 22:07

thats it DS2 will be sooooo impressed come the morn

Shoshe · 22/05/2010 22:12

Different generations eh

We thought we were so cool

Jeans skin tight and held together with kilt pins, tartan torn t shirt (had to make sure that norks didnt fall out of the tears.)

Red Doc martins and loads of black eyeliner.

(Look over AT dgd, red docs and loads of black eyeliner) uuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

BitOfFunInTheQuattro · 22/05/2010 22:20

This kind of thing?, but usually badly-dyed blonde?

moondog · 22/05/2010 22:22

Yes yes yes!!!
To BitofFun and Not My Monkey!
Exactly so.
