Talking i need to do something about not having long hair!

Sign in to disble this ad
so in this band both the guitar player and singer have long hair and i had my long sexy tresses chopped off a while back at our last gig i really did feel like a misfit on the stage with my short hair, so i want to fix it when i go on stage next week with this band again! so how do i cover it up? our sound has shades of audioslave/ratm, incubus, rhcp kind of music
so you got any awesome ideas!? a hat or something wont fit and would surely fall off when all the headbanging starts
how do you carry of a bandanna or something? can you think of any one else doing something similar at gigs for ideas!?

pics from the last gig

I think you can buy a funky hat with braided yarn hanging down like dreads. But you might get too hot on stage.

Relax. They have long hair to be different from the rest of the world. Your hair makes you different from them.

Hair grows back. Stop being silly and go practice some more.

These "biker head wraps" tie on snugly, so they won't fly off while headbanging.

He could make a killing selling his bandanna with the hair attached.
