Mohawk Punk Picture Gallery

The Mohawk is perhaps one of the biggest cliches of the punk style. Think punk, think ripped pants, Johnny Rotten, studs and chains, doc martin boots, piercings and of course the Mohawk. Without a doubt one of the hottest topics of a young punk rocker is how to go about getting the best Mohawk you can get.

How To Create a Mohawk

Unfortunately it is quite hard to fight gravity, so the first thing you must know is that is you have curly hair it may be very hard or perhaps even near impossible to get the upright, sticking up in the air mohawk of your dreams. This hairstyle is more suited for those with straight hair, wavy hair or something in between. Ofcourse there are other variations that can be done with curly hair.

To get that erect hairstyle that will stay that way for hours without moving or going limp you will need to use a bar of soap (definitely don't use liquid soap). Add very little water to the hair while soaping it up - add too much water and your Mohawk will fall. It is an art you have to practice it yourself and find that intermediate soap and very little water combo that makes your Mohawk stand to attention.

Using this awesome soap method you can even go and throw yourself in the mosh pit and your Mohawk may suffer a little bit of damage but no where near as much as if you say use gel, hairspray or any other conventional hair product. Just remember to use a nice or neutral smelling soap because the smell can be really overwhelming!

Katherine Moennig’s Wicked Shaggy Hair

Katherine Moennig plays Shane; the androgynous, heart breaking, playgirl lesbian on the hit TV show The L Word.

Katherine Moennig has a killer sense of style and always has a great short, layered, shaggy hairstyle. Every new season of The L Word I can't wait to see how Shane will have her hair; sometimes it is longer, other times it is shorter, it is always cool, trendy, messy and has that laid back and cool air about it without even trying. I love it. Have a look for yourselves.

How To Dye Your Hair Pink

Bleach

Bleaching your hair is a necessary process to achieve a vibrant pink result. When you use bleach your hair becomes more porous (and unfortunately it receives damage) and it soaks up the color better. If you try putting in pink hair dyes on black hair you will be largely unsuccessful. You can apply it on natural brown or blonde hair but the results will be duller and fade away quicker.

The good news is that you don't have to bleach your hair to a platinum blonde (although the blonder/lighter the hair, the more vibrant the pink will turn out). You can usually bring the hair down to an orange and just dye over that.

Here is a guide on how to bleach your hair.

Different Pink Hair Dye Brands

Choosing the right pink hair color and brand is largely a personal choice, Pink hair color varies from person to person depending on many factors such as base hair color, how long you leave the dye in the hair, the condition the hair is in before dying etc.
