<p>I'm going to be a senior this fall and I will take the senior picture for the year book in a few weeks. I usually slick my hair in a conservative style but I want to change to something new (mohawk, I think) just for the picture. </p>
<p>Should I do it? It will be a surprise because my friends think I'm probably the last person going to get a mohawk, but I don't want to regret if it doesn't come up too well.</p>
<p>Oh wow. I don’t plan on taking my senior year pictures until my senior school year starts ( earliest probably October or November, plus trying to recover from a food intolerance). If you want a mohawk for your senior year pictures, maybe you could try it for you school ID. Though speaking of senior year pictures, I’ve never seen anyone ( or at least from what I can remember) with a mohawk, that would be interesting. </p>
<p>(Well ofcourse school ID wouldn’t go in yearbook since your taking senior year pictures, but still could hold for memories.)</p>
<hr>
<p>Also if it doesn’t come up too well on your school ID, you’ll be a little more okay since your ID and senior year picture are seperate.)</p>
<p>That old adage applies: be yourself. It’s up to you ultimately, but I wouldn’t want to look back in 10 years and have a picture of a person who may as well not have been me. So, just ask yourself if you’ll think it’s funny later in life. Personally, I would like to remember myself as I was. HOWEVER, if you think it’s a good idea don’t let me stop you.</p>
<p>^ I completely agree</p>
<p>A lot of guys at my school just do a stupid face or put their hair in pigtails. I know one guy has the coolest hair ever. Every other day/week, it’s a new color (but that’s how he is naturally). I think you should do what you feel is best, something unique, something memorable in a good way.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t. I wouldn’t want to look back years from now and not see a realistic representation of who I was. Maybe use a mohawk pic for a candid or something?</p>
<p>^^^ Yeah, does your school have spirit week? I mean, I laugh at the guys that did that, but that was their personality (seriously). So I would take a clean cut picture for school, but on a random school day or spirit week, go all out.</p>
<p>I see. Thanks for all your input.</p>
<p>^ Below are some to do’s on the website of the portrait gallery where my S will be taking his Senior pictures.</p>
<p>Avoid trying out new hair styles or getting a fresh haircut just before your appointment. </p>
<p>You should limit your sun exposure prior to your appointment avoiding sunburn and tan lines.</p>
<p>Guys, shave just before your appointment if you want to avoid facial hair in your portrait, it cannot be removed with retouching.</p>
<p>Don’t worry about facial blemishes our basic retouching service will clear them up!</p>
<p>One time hair style sounds like a bad idea.</p>
<p>I’ve a question about the senior pictures – what are you supposed to wear? I know some people dress up and others…wear what they normally wear to school.</p>
<p>Anyway, my thoughts on getting a new hairstyle before the picture – get the haircut like one-two weeks ahead of your appointment-- that way, if you really hate your new hair, you have one-two weeks to figure out a good look with the new 'do :)</p>
<p>At my school we had to wear a tux, except that we actually just wore a pinned on tux bib.</p>
<p>Most people usually dress up, and yeah… you should probably get a hair cut 4 weeks ( or maybe a little closer) before your senior year picture, and if it all turns out well you can get it trim up again a week ( or maybe even a few days) before picture. In case you don’t like the style, probably could find something else to recover it…</p>
<p>Well, for my school, we just can go in our regular clothes, and they’ll provide the tux and stuffs for us.</p>
