Oh wow - this is a confession, but I used to talk about the hair history of bands (Nirvana included) when I was at school back in the day... this will be a fun watch haha
It looks to me like Kurt Cobain let his hair grow from the 70s I just left it like that while everyone else in the 80s were doing their hair all fancy and over done he just let his 70s haircut grow
There’s a scene in Montage of Heck where Courtney is pregnant and cutting Kurt’s freshly dyed shoulder length blond hair paring it down to what we see at the 92 VMAs. I’ve been in that apartment! (Spaulding)
You think Kurt's decision to rock the bowl cut was a conscious one. People associated grunge, along with the long, unkempt hair to the culture connected to it - heroin. He had to metaphorically and literally clean up his act because of the whole Vanity Fair article threatening his chances at parenthood. Maybe marketing had a bit to do with it as well. So he (by force) was clean throughout the summer/early fall and put on a bit of weight.
@@Blueberrythegreat It was because of a Vanity Fair article with Courtney where she admitted to doing heroin after getting pregnant, which triggered CPS to investigate them.
This is the content i was looking for without knowing. I wish to know Courtney's hair story too 🖤👍 Blur had the best haircuts. And Prince had a long very changing hair story.
After cutting it off in mid '92, Courtney hated it and convinced him to get extensions. Can't tell exactly when he put them in, but I've read this a couple times. Courtney talked about it.
Cool video, when I saw the 1991 image of him performing with the spiral shirt and brown coat, I didn't know it was called an undercut, but I associated it with a Mohawk by observation
It's "Sliver" not "Silver." Kurt named it that on purpose for the sake of the mistake you made. He was an OG troll in many ways. 1993 was always the most interesting to me. Going from a short brown while recording In Utero in February to long blonde touring. Well done, this was great.
When you’re talking about Kurt Cobain’s hair, being slightly longer in the back, it looks like he had a bowl cut and let it grow out When you’re talking about how it looks like he has a little bit of a buzz cut on the side he could’ve been giving him self haircut and fucked up That’s what I suspect

Ah ah ah,short hair kurt is awesome,so rebellious rape me intro on mtv,just perfect for me,also the pink hair and the rare blue hair,free mind,color hair the way you want and make it the way you want,great
Just curious but what would you recommend to get the layers that Kurt had from the 1991 Paramount show? Right now my hair is kinda like the length that Kurt had when he had brown hair. But dude I’ve just stopped cutting my hair because every time I go to get a trim they always cut it way too short and I have to start all over again. But because of that now, it just poofs out too much, kinda like Krist’s hair from 1990 when he was growing it out
From what I saw in Montage of Heck it looks like Kurt cut his hair by himself (or with Courtney’s help). Do you think I should grab some scissors and hope for the best lol? Or is there like a specific way I should cut it
@@diegogchaconi would for sure. just search up a tutorial and go for it making sure it looks decent after each cut (you can always cut more but never less). that way you can exactly what you want. also most of kurts hairstyles are shaggy and messy so..
krist shaved his head because iggy pop watched a nirvana gig and krist thought that they were terrible and shaved it because of the shame lol
Oh, wow. That's interesting.
That sounds like some Ralph from Ed Edd and Eddy shit 😂
@@Hunter-ff1mv fr haha
Layne staley is the best. Ive rocked many of laynes cuts.

"IVE GOT ANOTHER CONFESSION TO MAKE"
Maybe you don’t know it but you made work so easier for a lot of people asking for a Cobain look to their stylists haha
38:26 that’s my all time favorite Kurt hair era
mine too! it fits him so well makes his eyes look so beautiful.
😂

I like that style the best from 92 Vma's
@@SouthPhilaMilla It's the most whack hair cut feasible
Wow, this is quite a feat to document the hair changes and details over the course of time. It was very interesting.
This is one for the ages, great work.
the undercut mistery is finally solved, I've been wondering for years where it ends
The smells like teen spirit screen cap to me was very telling.
You should do a metallica hair history next! Although it would probably be over 4 hours long lol xD

Waiting for a Nirvana flannel shirt history. It needs to be documented. 😂
honestly real
I can forgive getting Jason’s Newsteads name wrong but now I have to be that guy…Eagles Hall 12/21/88 Kurt wore a pony tail it’s on TH-cam

Great video. And yes, Pat Smear was supposed to be a permanent member of the band.
Cool video

@@johnnyrocket3200 I looked him up because cuz i didn't know his name and for some reason i thought i had it :P
That's it. I'm opening a Nirvana hairstyle clinic. With or without shampoo and sometimes grease.👍🍻
We need something like this lol
Long hair Kurt is so adorable!!! 🥹
Great subject to talk about Kurt dressed cool in 80s n 90s in midst of all cringe clothes n hairstyles he def was trend setter
39:00
Its sLiver
He completely ignored the fact that his hair was blue in the undercut era

Kurt would cut his own hair too. The song is called SLIver. And it all depends on when and if he washed his hair.

thats called a undercut it was a big trend in the 90s
Love Kurt with long hair
Top 10 glaze of all time
They did took a lot of pictures
39:00 the song is called sliver not silver
Oh my fault.
@@ThemCoversMB , the song was given an intentionally confusing title, with Cobain explaining, "I had a feeling if I called it 'Sliver,' most people would call it 'Silver.'"[5]
What about Dale Crover he was the drummer a little bit in 1988 and you should do SilverChair
Just imagine what the next video will be about.
I think Jason had the 2nd best hair to ever be in the band, no shit it looks EXACTLY like mine except that longer
Bacn To The Future mentioned🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 what the fuck is a hoverboard⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Bro that's me who allowed you to use pictures of me
The song is called sliver not silver
Yeah. I wish I cud redo that part. But, I uploaded it already.
It's called Sliver to call it Silver, so, anyway.
@@ThemCoversMB I don’t understand why don’t you just delete it and upload it again you think you’re going to not get as many views or something??
Not silver, it's sliver🎸👍

@@diegogchaconI wouldn't be daring enough to cut my own hair. I'd use refference photos and go to hair cutter and ask for what the photo looks like.

Yeah, its kinda wierd how I messed that up. I use to listen to it but, i just called it Grandma take me home.

Aha my fault. I got the name wrong on the song sliver too. I called it silver.

Already did the Beatles lol
Good video....but man, your letter "t" pronunciation is killing me over here...mulleT, fronT
Heehee
Ppl in my personal life think I may talk like that cuz I grew up speaking French. French speakers tend to really pronounce the end of words.
Great vid, but where the fuck is your accent from??
Thanks! I'm from Canada.
