how to style short hair
Short punk hair was huge in the 1970s and 1980s and was epitomized by bands such as the Sex Pistols and the Clash. Over the decades it has become a symbol of rebellion and freedom of expression. A short punk style can make a statement and in contemporary times has been adopted by many mainstream fashions aiming to create the wow factor with faux Mohawks and edgy cuts. Here are some suggestions in styling short punk hair.
To be punk is to be rebellious so there are no fixed rules when it comes to creating a style. One way to get the look is to add some highlights. Pinks, fuchsias and reds can complement the tones of your hair and add definition to your hairstyle. High contrast shades usually create the most impact so blond paired with black or red will be a dynamic statement.
Neon shades stand out from the crowd and for the less brave you may consider highlighting the tips of the hair or single sections for a more subtle approach. With short hair there is a huge amount of scope for an edgy look. Shaved hair underneath with a Mohawk on top is a classic punk look and often patterns or words can be styled into the shaved section to make a statement.
A popular and edgy look for fans of punk combines accessories such as braids, spikes and leather with the cut. This can help to personalize the look and make it more original. If hair is very short then introducing some accessories allows you some variety to be creative with.
One thing to keep in mind is that the harsh chemicals used in dyes such as peroxide can be tough on your hair, so you may want to consider using semi-permanent or temporary colors. This also allows you to experiment with a range of options for your new short punk style.
