Easy Hairstyles, Short Haircuts, 2012, Long, Medium Hair Styles Pictures

Though punk hairstyles were originally created in the 1970′s and reached their pinnacle in the 1980′s, after nearly 20 years of more sedate styles, they are once again becoming fashionable. Punk hairstyles are aggressive and attention-getting; they can be extremely attractive on people who have the guts to pull them off.

The main elements of punk hairstyles are cut (the Mohawk and variations of it), color and spikes. The color and spikes can be applied for a temporary punk look, while a Mohawk cut requires more of a commitment.

Mohawk Punk Hairstyles

A Mohawk cut is the most recognizable sign of a punk hairstyle. Also known as the Mohican in the UK (both names came from Native American tribes), a Mohawk cut features shaved hair at the side of the heads with a strip of longer hair in the middle. Variations include the double Mohawk (two long strips) and the reverse Mohawk (long sides and a shaved stripe). Asymmetrically cut hair is also popular in punk hairstyles. In most cases that means that one side of the hair is significantly longer than the other.

Color in punk hairstyles is unnatural, with pink, blue, orange and green being particularly popular. The original punks often used Jello to create these odd hues, but a variety of semi-permanent products are available to create the look today, and for a temporary version of the look, wash-out colored hairspray is great.

Punk spikes can be created by stiffening the hair with gel and hairspray. This look is particularly popular when mixed with a Mohawk cut (the long strip in the middle is stiffened into a series of spikes).

Curly hairstyles are a creative challenge for most stylists. Women with straight hair often try to emulate them, but the woman with natural curls may envy her friends with straight hair when she has difficulty finding a stylist who knows how to bring out the best in her hair.

Difficulties with naturally curly hairstyles include getting the curls to grow in the right direction, controlling frizz, adding shine and keeping the hair in good condition, which is why curly-haired women should head straight for an expert in curly hair.

Searching a Hairstylist for Curly Hair Style

Ouidad, a famous hairstylist to such curly-haired celebrities as Juliana Margulies, Minnie Driver, and Mary Steenburgen, was the first person to open a salon and create a product line especially for curly hair. Since she created this specialty over 20 years ago, several other hair salons and products have sprung up to serve this market. Some well known ones are Ricci, Christo Fifth Avenue (whose clients include Joss Stone and Melina Kanakaredes), Hickox Studios, and Devachan Salon. Many of these salons are national chains, so with a little searching, curly girls should be able to find a local expert.

While you are searching for a stylist who can make the most of your curls, here are some tips from Ouidad on how to care for them at home: shampoo hair no more than twice a week (natural oils help tame curls); condition daily and deep condition twice a month; use a styling lotion to help set your curls, and avoid heated styling tools as much as possible.
