Crazy Hair Style Ideas

Whether you're looking for crazy hair style ideas for everyday wear or for Halloween, there's an abundance of creativity out there. Using color or cut—or both—you can create a style that's all your own. Look online for inspiration or just conjure up something on your own with the help of your stylist.

Unusual hair styles make a statement.

You can go to your local bookstore, pick up any hair style magazine, and dive into pages and pages of crazy hairdos. A great majority of them aren't styles the average person would wear, with their asymmetrical cuts accented by alternating horizontal bands of brown and black dye, their razor cuts with hot pink fringe, and the bangs that cover both eyes bluntly, a la sheepdog (how would you drive? Or walk?).

If you know you want to do something a little unusual to your hair but you're unsure of what to do, it may also help to visit some crazy hair style idea sites online. Here are a few places to start your search:

Just Hairstyles has a section reserved just for "Outrageous Hairstyles" with ideas ranging from bangs over the eyes to misplaced rattails and on to the oddly tipped short cuts. If you do happen to see something you like, you can click on the thumbnail and print out the larger version to take to the salon. One of the most wearable crazy hair style ideas is #W13. It's super-choppy and platinum/black. Play around with your own color combos to make the look exclusively yours.

Just for fun, here are some crazy hair styles to look through. There's also a quiz: Which hair style would you like to wear, but wouldn't dare? Vote and see how others voted, too! The mohawk wins the top slot; see what follows.

If you're a female, you can get your crazy style ideas from one of these celebs. Amy Winehouse takes the cake with her strung out retro spin-off.

Retro hair wasn't "crazy" in its heyday, but if you sport some of those same looks today, they'll get you a few odd looks, especially if you do it up and then wear blue jeans around town. Try Revamp Vintage, Chapter 6 for some how-tos organized by decade. Learn how to do styles like the simple pompadour, the American wave, pin curls, finger waves, and other 'dos from the past.

The average Joe doesn't sport a mohawk. He doesn't spike his hair (in large spikes, at least) or dye it purple. His hair is free of dreadlocks and he definitely doesn't use Elmer's glue to style it. So if you're looking for a seriously crazy hair style, consider one of those. Goth Punk offers tips for "fans" and "spikes" or "horns"—how to grow it, how to style it, and how to keep it healthy.

If dreads are your ideal crazy hair style, you can go with permanent or temporary. Both use your own hair. Dreads are more common than they used to be—and more accepted—but they're still not exactly mainstream, so with them, you're sure to stand out. Here are instructions for both types from MyDreadlocks.com:

• Permanent
• Temporary

Coontails are interesting plays with alternating colors (thanks to bleach, but you can probably do just as well with a dark dye if your hair is light) to give the appearance of a raccoon's tail at the nape of your neck.

One of the craziest hair styles a man can do aside from dreadlocks or vibrant, unnatural dye jobs is to shave shapes or images into his hair. Have a message written on the back of your head, leave a handprint, or get creative and get eyes in the back of your head via a whole funny face. Check out the ones at necromanc.blogspot.com for inspiration.

So you've found your inspiration for crazy hair style ideas, but you wonder, "How do I get that look?" Chances are, you'll need hair dye or at least some type of styling product. Visit HairCrazy.Info for reviews on all the major unnatural hair dye brands, shampoos and conditioners that won't damage your mohawk or dreads, as well as reviews of waxes, hairsprays, and more.
