Punk Hair Color

Go bold and express your outrageousness with an unexpected punk hair color. Being unique is the key to a great punk hair style, and an unusual color can help you turn ordinary locks into a funky punk look. It is important to note, however, that punk hair styles are not right for everyone, and you should choose punk color with care.

Bright colors are best for punk hair.

Color Up Your Punk

Adding bold hair color to a punk style gives it an instant funky edge. The best punk colors are those that are unmistakably unnatural, such as blue, green, purple, and pink hues in pastel, fluorescent, or neon shades. Bright orange, vivid red, and the ultimate bright white can work as well, or you can choose several colors for a multi-hued look.

Punk, Emo, and Goth Colors

Many alternative hair styles use color as part of the personal expression and creativity of your unique look. The difference between punk color and other alternative colors, however, is that punk colors are generally the brightest and most outrageous choices. Emo hair color is more often darker and less funky, while goth hair color is almost invariably dark. These are just general guidelines, however, and your punk, emo, or goth color can be any shade you choose. Even more than the hair color, the attitude you wear it with and the hair style you choose will show off your personality perfectly.

Applying Punk Hair Color

Unlike regular hair highlights or hair lowlights shades, punk color should not blend smoothly into your style. The more the color stands out and catches someone’s eye, the more of a punk look you will create. Popular ways to add color to your style for a touch of punk include:

Accentuate your punk style.

• Thick, sharp streaks or colored chunks of hair, often framing the face or spaced erratically on the head.
• Vibrantly colored tips to a layered or choppy hair style.
• Colored bangs or a colored ponytail that leaves the rest of the hair naturally colored.
• Unusual stripes such as horizontal color or zigzags.
• Colored applied to highlight a punk style, such as coloring a mohawk or highlighted a crazy buzz.
• Choose brightly colored clip on hair extensions for instant color and a new style to show it off.

Healthy Punk Hair Tips

Color can add vibrant attitude to your style, but dull, unhealthy hair can lead to a bad hair day no matter what shade you choose. For the best, most colorful punk hair…

• Eat a diet for healthy hair and drink plenty of water to keep your hair nourished.
• Use high quality conditioner to help protect your hair from the drying and damaging effects of the strong chemicals in hair dye.
• Get your hair regularly trimmed to avoid split ends and other damage that can dull your color.
• Use specially formulated shampoos for color treated hair so the color will last as long as possible.

Toning Down Your Style

Unnatural colors are definately punk.

As fun as it may be to experiment with punk hair color, bright, unnatural shades are not generally appropriate for work, school, or other professional situations. It is possible, however, to still use funky hair colors without compromising a respectable and conservative appearance when needed.

• Temporary Color: Choose temporary hair color that will easily wash out so it can be removed without struggle. Another option is to choose clip in extensions that can be taken out when the color isn’t appropriate.
• Restyling: Learn how to style your hair to hide the punk color if necessary. Colored tips, for example, can be hidden in a bun or updo style that is sleek and professional without showing the shocking color.
• Permission: If you won’t be able to remove the hair color or hide it, see if it will be allowed in a more conservative atmosphere. Some employers will not mind what color your hair is if your job location is not visible to clients or guests, or a funky hair color might be allowed to show school spirit at a dance or pep rally.

Punk hair color can be fun, creative, and bold. From choppy streaks to neon tips, the color you choose and how you use it in your hair can turn a mild attitude into an outrageous punk personality.
