Punk fashion is prevalent even today, despite the ever-changing trends. It originated in the 1970s, and evoked different reactions from the society at large. While some followed it blindly, others seemed disgusted.
There are many distinctive features associated with this fashion, and one of the most easily recognizable feature remains to be the unique hairstyles.
The increasing popularity of such hairstyles has led to numerous variations, featuring striking shapes, patterns, and vibrant colors.
Punk hairstyles symbolize the unconventional and rebellious. Some follow them for trendiness, others for societal defiance. To try them, explore various styles.
Different Ways to Wear Punk Hairstyles
The vibrant colors and creative shapes are what truly stand out, ensuring you'll attract attention! Explore these common hairstyles for a unique look.
Mohawk
Currently, this hairstyle involves shaving both sides of the head, leaving a long strip of hair down the center extending to the base of the neck.
Maintenance is key with this style. The center hair is spiked for added drama and height. Vibrant colors like shocking red or pink are often used for this strip.
You would need to use a variety of methods to keep this hairstyle intact. You can opt for hair gels and specific sprays to maintain it. Back combing can also be used.
Faux Hawk
Here, a close shave on both sides creates the Mohawk illusion without fully shaving the head. The defining feature is the prominent spike in the center.
Hair gels are used to style the hair towards the center. This hairstyle was also seen in the Hollywood blockbuster, 'The Lord of the Rings.'
Hoxton Fin
This style has recently gained popularity. Typically, it features two partings with hair gelled towards the center, while the sides and back are cut short.

Reverse Mohawk/Skunk

This too is quite popular. In this case, hair is cut in the reverse manner, as the name suggests. Electric hair clippers are used to remove hair from the center area leaving hair on either side of the head.
Punk fashion, thus, remains to be an interesting affair, with the various kinds of trends followed by people. Short punk hairstyles have established themselves in the world of fashion despite mixed reactions, and we may as well say that they are here to stay.
