Spikey mohawk with an undercut

Rocking an undercut? Then why not style the top of your hair into a spikey, voluminous mohawk for a hair-raising festival look! But it’s not all about razor-sharp spikes anymore, though, as the modern mohawk look is softer and packed full of feminine vibes.

Editor’s tip: We recommend using a hair wax, like the VO5 Classic Styling Soft Moulding Wax, to help add texture and hold your mohawk in place while you rock out. Credit: @tintedmuse

Fauxhawk with bobby pins

Another way to style punk short hair is to jazz things up with hair accessories. Take this bobby pin-inspired fauxhawk, for instance: the metallic hair grips have been fashioned into a criss-cross pattern to ooze rock-chic vibes. Pretty neat way to keep you hair in check, right? Credit: @arty-styles

Slicked back pixie

If you’ve currently got a long pixie crop (with or without an undercut!), you can totally pull off a flirty, punk rock hairstyle. All you need to do is slick back your pixie crop, for a smooth wet-look finish. Credit: @simoneheng
