Indie Hairstyles

Indie is said to be one of the newest trends and although it isn’t something new, it’s becoming popular in our days. In popular music indie means the shortened form of independent music. This refers to the fact that the adepts of indie think about themselves as being independent from commercial record labels and they are supporters of the DIY approach. Indie pop is a subgenre of alternative rock and it started in the 1980’s in the UK and has its roots in the Scottish post-punk bands.

The name indie was given in the moment when NME’s C86 appeared. Indie rock is similar to indie pop, having similar roots and the whole point of it is that the musicians are signed to independent record labels. Indie dance develops from electronic dance music and indie rock in the 2000’s.

As every music genre, indie also has its own style that has its mark on the way people dress and the hairstyles they have. In fact indie hairstyles have their roots in the traditional shags and pixie cuts.

1.The close cropped look is one of the popular indie hairstyles although most women are reluctant about having such a short hair, still there are some, like Halle Berry so if others can do it, you can do it as well. All you need to maintain the hairstyles is a little texturing paste. Although it is easy to maintain, don’t think that it is easy to create so if you wish to have this hairstyle I suggest you go to a professional, otherwise the results might be disastrous. The downside of the hairstyle is that if you don’t have the right bone structure you might end up having a very masculine look.

As I have already mentioned, shags are considered to be totally indie. Those who do not wish to have such short hairstyles might go for this one, since it is a bit longer than the pixie cut and this hairstyle as well can be maintained using texturing paste. Just as in case of the pixie, the haircut is one of the most important features of the hairstyle, so you should leave this part to be handled by a professional.

Just as in case of any other movement, the color of the hair is also very important besides the haircut. Most of the indie hairstyles feature dark hair color, mostly black, but there are some people who prefer blue or maroon.

The advantage of indie hairstyles is that they can be styled in many ways so that you can create many hairstyles using one haircut. This is great for those people who don’t like constant things. Hair has been always a great way to make a change and it is also easy. On the internet there are many pictures showing indie hairstyles so if you are looking for inspiration I suggest you take a look a these photos. Naturally you could create your own style that is specific for you and tells a little something about your personality.
