What are punk hairstyles and where did they come from? For starters, a little history. The basis of the punk hairstyle is the notorious Mohawk (aka Mohawk). This is the so-called classic of its kind, when only a narrow line of hair (2-4 cm) is left on the head, passing from the forehead to the back of the head, and the rest of the "vegetation" is shaved bald (see photo).
Moreover, the hair in the Mohawk in front should be an order of magnitude longer than at the back of the head. This hairstyle is very reminiscent of an ax blade. It was worn by the ancient Indians of the Iroquois and Mohawk tribes (hence the name), showing with all their appearance that they were ready for anything, in a word, real rebels of their time.
Therefore, in our time, such "rebellious" hairstyles began to be worn by representatives of informal communities that deny all sorts of rules of behavior and the limits of decency - punks. The peak of the heyday of the "clumsy" hair fell on the 80s of the last century. The leader of the then most popular rock band Exploited showed off the flawless red mohawk for the first time. Since then, the mere sight of his punk hairstyle has become an integral brand of the entire group as a whole.
At that time, many people began to wear punk hairstyles, and not only representatives of subcultures. Iroquois was shaved even by those who just wanted to stand out from the crowd, to prove to society that he was not like everyone else, a kind of rebel. To “lift” the hair, they used not only a special varnish and gel, but also all kinds of improvised means: soap, sweet water, beer. It is said that true punks even used their own saliva.
Gradually, the fashion for punk hairstyles lost ground, and now Mohawks can only be seen on especially brave young people. Although since then the classic Mohawk has undergone many changes. So, for example, the so-called double mohawk enjoys considerable popularity among punks. Although it is made much more complicated than usual, it looks no less impressive. Especially if you paint both Mohawks a bright acid color.
There are extreme people left who are able to put a mohawk on the entire length of their hair and thus look like a skyscraper.
Now punk hairstyle is any creation of hair, during which they rise up.
Particularly lucky in this regard, short-haired guys and girls. It is enough for them to “put” all their hair and fix it with varnish or gel.
Moreover, even the usual colored "mess" on the head can be attributed to the punk style.
Also, punkhairstyles are worn even by world-class stars who are not at all related to this subculture.
And they do it so casually that you can't immediately tell if it's a punk hairstyle or a stylish haircut. After all, there was almost no trace of the Iroquois.
Therefore, if you really want to feel a little punk, you can cut your whiskey slightly, raise your hair in some places, dye individual strands blue, red, green, yellow or any other bright color. And for those to whom these changes seem very dramatic, there is a computer selection of hairstyles. Any qualified salon is able to provide such a service, and an experienced professional hairdresser will help you finally decide on the right option. It remains only to decide and finally try. After all, a real punk is not afraid of anything, and he undoubtedly lives in each of us.
