My new Haar

I've been wearing this for about a month now, but I'm so bad about
putting the finishing touches on my hair- I usually put it on, get it
to an acceptable point, and then forget about it. But it's just about
done:

Taken (by me, so excuse the bad self-portraiture) after a full day of
school, running around setting up movie lighting. It looks pretty good
for not having been brushed since this morning!

It's Plastikhaar, straight texture, in Pechswarz, Pepperoni, and one of
the pale blondes...Satin, I think. My natural hair is lack and in
chin-length dreads, so I braided in the hair until the bottom of the
dreads, rubber-banded it off, and then tied in extra loose hair to the
base of the braids. Oh, and I only really have hair on top of my head-
the rest is shaved. The colors are layered so that the front and top
are black, the perimeter (lowest layer on my head; about forehead
height) is blond, and everything in-between is red.

It was longer (about lower-back length, and I'm pretty tall), but in my
attempt to layer the black I cut it too short, so I had to layer the
blond and red shorter to match it. I think I'll thin out the black even
more to make it blend better. But I'm pretty happy with it now. It's
incredibly easy to take care of now that it's four inches shorter, but
even when it was long it was pretty well-behaved too- I only had
to  blow-dry it straight once in the month since putting it in.
