Short Punk Hairstyles
Don’t be afraid to go for a neon shade of your favorite color or to use more hairspray or gel to get your style to the next level of intensity. Whether you’re looking to turn your pixie cut into an edgier style, or are in the mood to finally try the mohawk haircut, we’ve got style ideas for you. Read on:
1. Spiky Mohawk with an Undercut
Rocking an undercut? Then why not style the top of your hair into a spiky, voluminous mohawk for a hair-raising look? It’s easy to take undercuts and flip them into short punk hairstyles. Have fun with your spikes by using moldable hair wax, like Bed Head by TIGI Wax Stick, on your punk hair to help add texture and hold to your strands.
2. Undercut Designs
Or maybe you want short punk hairstyles that have an undercut with a cool design? This is a great way to wear short punk hair. Once you start searching for cool designs to try, you will no doubt be hypnotized by all of the options out there.
3. Shag
We’ve touted our love for the shag in many of our short hair recaps, and we love how this style can transition into short punk hair as well. Opt for a two-tones shag where you showcase your darker length underneath while the top part of your hair is bleached. Muss up your shag for the ultimate chill hairstyle.
4. Edgy Pixie
Transition standard pixies into edgy short punk hairstyles with a style like this shorter pixie that features short bangs and piecey layers towards the front.
5. Two-Toned Bob
Looking for punk rock hairstyles for short hair that include a vibrant color? How about two bold colors? Do your research when you want this look, and be sure to seek out a professional colorist who can help you nail the right contrasting hues.
6. Colorful Mohawk
Before diving into this style, work with your colorist to figure out which rainbow tones you want to experiment with. You can even try spray-on hair dye to test out how this punk look feels on you.
7. Colorful Afro
Enhance your afro by trying out a new color. We love this vibrant pink hair color. Use hair oil, like Love Beauty and Planet Rose & Almond Natural Oils Infusion, on your short hair to add shine and hydration.
8. Slicked-Backed Pixie
If you want a punk rock hairstyle with a flirty edge, then this slicked-back pixie might be ideal for you! To style, apply some gel to your hair, like the TRESemmé TRES Two Extra Firm Control Gel. Smooth down your hair and then brush it for a slicked-back look! If you want to go for the wet hair look, simply add more gel to your base.
9. Micro Fringe
Punk short hairstyles include a classic micro fringe. This ‘it’ style is all about a short bang that falls above your eyebrows. Complement this short style with a short bob and you’ve got yourself one modern punk short hairstyle to contend with.
10. Bowl Cut
Maybe you want a new, punk style to rock on your short hair? Then you’ve got to check out the revamped bowl cut! This cut is all about its rounded, shorter length that’s complemented by its equally short bangs. Rock out with a bold color for the ultimate punky style.
11. Understated Pixie
You can easily turn your everyday pixie haircut into a punk style by changing up your makeup. A dark lip adds the perfect amount of edge to short punk hairstyles for short hair like this.
