Punk Hairstyles and Hair Colors

April 6, 2014 by neha

The punk culture emerged as a rebel sub-culture in the mid 1970’s. It was always considered as the fashion of the masses but of late has captured the interest of mainstream fashion as well. It can now be seen on the runway and the fashion magazines on a regular basis.

Many designers such as Vivienne Westwood and Jean Paul Gaultier have taken inspiration from the punks. The most outstanding feature of the punk look is that it is eccentric, edgy and bold. Punk fashion can be seen in clothing, hairstyles, make-up, accessories and body art (like piercings and tattoos). But the most prominent interpretation of punk culture can be seen on the hair! Be it the colourful streaks or the Mohawks or spiked hair, everything shouts punk.
