Punk Princess!


Each weekend my town welcomes the usual stag and hen parties, but for one weekend in August each year a very different crowd descends on our small town. Rebellion is the yearly punk festival. I love this weekend not because I like punk music but because I love walking around looking at the amazing hairstyles and fashions.


Bright colours, Mohawks, spikes and shaved heads are the types of things which I see. Some of these styles are what are being seen on catwalks and street style recently, mainly the colours.



 Just some of the hairstyles from the festival 2009


I wouldn’t even know where to start on some of these hairstyles they defy gravity. The colour trend has defiantly come back round with thanks to bleach salon London. I love the dip dyed and ombre looks so much so I have dabbled in both this year, having peach put in my hair at Christmas, and recently going darker and keeping my lighter ends.

 Sorry about the maracas its the best picture I have to show off the peach


I achieved the peach by bleaching a diagonal section on each side until it was quite light without causing too much damage. Then after many different attempts to create peach using permanent colours we gave up and used semi permanent Crazy colours in orange and pinkissimo. We mixed these two together to create the right colour I also added a little bit of a white conditioner just to create a more pastel colour. I sectioned my hair so only the bleached section was touched by the colour, I left it on until the desired colour was achieved.


Unfortunately because it was a pastel colour it didn’t last very long and I had to keep topping it up. I have recently thought about putting the peach into the lighter ends of my ombre hair but I might change the colour lilac maybe? If you have any suggestions on a colour just leave a comment I may try it out.


Until next time
