Punk hairstyles have highly visible characteristics like wild colors, startling cuts, and funky styles. They are sought after by individuals keen on sporting the rebel look to give them a vibrant image. Punk hair styles are absolutely unique and outrageous.

These styles incorporate unusual hair colors often in unnatural combinations. Blue, pink, orange, green, and purple are popular colors, particularly in neon shades. Color is applied to all the hair or just to sections highlighting strands or stripes. Radically contrasting shades like platinum blonde tips on black hair are a typical example.

Cuts also determine punk hairstyles. The focus is on styles outside accepted norms to include stark contrasts or unusual configurations. You have long and shaggy hair on top with a buzz cut on the lower half of the head. Asymmetrical cuts have hair long on one side and short on the other. Punk hairstyles include shaving patterns or words into the back of the head.

A recognizable punk hairstyle is the mohawk where hair is vertical along the top of the head in a narrow band, from the center of the crown to the back. Severe mohawks actually shave sides and arrange hair in spikes. The flyaway is a style where the hair appears not to be styled at all, but is instead let loose in a fashion reminiscent of rock stars.
