In which we answer some common questions.

• Yes, you can touch it; THANK YOU FOR ASKING
• Yes, it's soft!
• No hair products... I basically wash it at night, then go to sleep on my side, and gravity does all the work.
• Curly-haired people can TOTALLY rock a hawk. Some of the coolest ones I've seen are on curly people!
• I use Special Effects Electric Blue for the back, and the front is Manic Panic (Amplified) Atomic Turquoise. I squirt the color into a gloved hand and then just smoosh it in. When they're both applied, I smoosh my hand back and forth to create a gradient. The long front hair gets some dark blue on the ends. Ta-da!
• Yes, I cut it myself, too. Scissors and clippers cost less than a single haircut, and I don't trust anyone else with my hair. (From experience...)
• It's really not that much work. Take your daily styling efforts and combine them into a single session: Every few months, I bleach and dye from scratch. Then every couple weeks, I smoosh in some dye and let it sit before showering. Every few days, I grab the scissors in my bathroom and snip away some offending fluff. That's all.

Plus, a few tips...

• You can re-dye in a hotel, but be courteous and use a black shirt or personal towel to dry off, and sleep with something over the pillow.
• It really helps to have a bathroom side mirror that you can turn at an angle, so you can see the sides of your head.
• Try shaving designs into the sides! If you screw up, just shave the whole side, no big.
