Punk Hair

Punk hairstyles are bizarre and colorful. A Mohawk hairstyle is popular with those seeking a punk hairstyle. This type of punk hairstyle is characterized by a shaved scalp with an upright strip of hair running across the crown of the head from the forehead to the nape of the neck. Punk hairstyles are usually sported by members of rebellious counter culture groups. A punk hairstyle - gelled and spiky is often accompanied by leather clothes and various body piercing.

Over the past few seasons, punk fashion has transcended from campy to cool. One example of this is the media interest in Kelly Osbourne's eccentric style. The same people who once mocked her for her fashion sense are now clinging onto her bootstraps for advice about how to avoid a fashion faux pas.

The punk hair style has basically stayed the same, with a few changes here and there to fit the times (70's punk, 80's punk, 90's punk and so on).

For the Punk Look:

For a glam-punk look use a smoothing iron to get root lift straight upwards in small sections. When hair is cooled separate sections with a polishing wax pulling strands down to create a random fringe.

When dressing punk rock style, forget about anything frou-frou, frilly or feminine. Paris Hilton is not your inspiration here girls! Think more along the lines of graphic muscle tees emblazoned with dissident messages such as Rock the System and jeans spray painted with your own personal graffiti.

Another point to remember when dressing like a punk rocker is that you should not ignore color. Although black is the theme color, it creates a far more dramatic effect when combined with neon pink, dark turquoise, bright red or royal blue.

Punk rock is all about making your own mark against the restrictions of the establishment - so whatever you choose to wear nzgirls, wear it with individuality and rock on!
