Hair Crazy

Site dedicated to alternative cuts. Advice and techniques on colouring, dreadlocks, hair science and make-up. The ultimate resource for someone looking for a different style.

If you are looking to distinguish yourself from the crowd a funky, alternative hairstyle might be just what you are looking for. Alternative hair can fall into many categories, such as punk, goth, emo etc. The main thing is that it looks different and is designed to shock.

Contrasting length and colour is important when creating an alternative look. You will often find the positioning of different styles, side by side. Bold and vibrant colours are another feature; pink, blue and white are unconventional but a deep red or glossy raven black can look really cool.

Bands often provide the inspiration for an alternative look but the coolest styles come from your own creativity and reflect the individualism of the wearer. Why have an alternative style just to copy someone famous?

Long hair can be the best for styling into cool shapes like mohawks or other creations. When you have lots to play with then it is easier to come up with something original.  However, good use of colour or handy razor work can create some amazing looks on someone with a shorter cut.
