This hairstyle almost looks a bit helmetish. But, it's still subtle. It still, it frames the face. It gives it a distinct look without detracting from the clothes. It doesn't compete with anything. It's very, very simple. The easiest way to do this and you don't want it to look too helmety. So, you need to have little tendrils and strands just going kind of off. It doesn't need to be too perfect. So, again like I said before you draw the part first because obviously your hair is not going to all go to one side of your head. Unless, that's the style you're trying to portray. And, start out with one of the sides and just make it go in a general direction. But, then down at the bottom kind of flip them up. And, then you don't want to think too much while you're doing it. Because, if you think too much then it will look too contrived. And, remember to make some go in other directions. Nobody's hair is perfect all the time. That's what gives it it's uniqueness.
