Where did punk hair come from and who can wear it?

What are punk hairstyles and where did they come from? To start with - a bit of history. The basis of the punk hairstyle is the notorious Iroquois (he is also a mohawk). This is the so-called classic of its kind, when only a narrow hairline (2 - 4 cm) is left on the head, passing from the forehead to the nape, and the rest of the "vegetation" is shaved off (see photo).

And hair in the mohawk in front should be an order of magnitude longer than on the back of the head. This hairstyle is very similar to the blade of an ax. It was something that the ancient Indians of the Iroquois and Mohawk tribes (hence the name) wore, all showing that they were ready for everything, in a word, the real rebels of their time.

Therefore, in our time, such "rebel" hairstyles began to be worn by representatives of informal communities that deny all possible rules of behavior and the limits of decency - punks. The peak of the heyday of "clumsy" head of hair occurred in the 80s of the last century. The leader of the most popular at that time rock band Exploited for the first time demonstrated an impeccable Iroquois of red color. Since then, only one kind of his punk hairstyle has become an integral brand of the whole group.

At that time punk hairstyles began to wear many, and not only representatives of subcultures. Iroquois was shaved even by those who simply wanted to stand out from the crowd, to prove to society that he was not like everyone else, such a rebel. To "lift" the hair used not only a special lacquer and gel, but also all sorts of improvised means: soap, sweet water, beer. It is said that the true punks used even their own saliva.

Gradually, fashion for punk style haircuts passed the position, and now mohawks can be seen only on particularly brave young people. Although since then the classical Iroquois has undergone many changes. So, for example, the so-called double Iroquois is very popular among punks. Although it is much more complicated than usual, it looks no less spectacular. Especially if you paint both Mohawk in a bright acid color.

There are such extremals that are able to put the Iroquois on the entire length of the hair and thus resemble a skyscraper.

Now punk hair is called any creation of hair, during which they rise up.

Especially fortunate in this regard are short-cropped guys and girls. They just "put" all their hair and fix them with lacquer or gel.

And even the usual color "mess" on the head can be attributed to the style of punk.

In addition, punk hairstyles are worn by even world-class stars, not at all related to this subculture.

And they make it so at ease that you can not understand right away - a punk haircut or a stylish haircut. Because of the Iroquois almost no trace.

Therefore, if you really want to feel a little punk, you can lightly cut the whiskey, sometimes raise your hair, paint individual strands in blue, red, green, yellow or any other bright color. And for those to whom these changes also 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 finally decide on the appropriate option. It remains only to decide and, finally, to try. After all, this punk is not afraid of anything, and he, undoubtedly, lives in each of us.
