Punk (founded in England), dates as far back as the mid-1970’s. American Singer/Song-writer Cyndi Lauper exploded onto the 80’s music scene with hit her album “She’s So Unusual” and so did her fashionable punk style, most notably the hair-shaved hairstyle she wore for her music video “Time After Time.”

Fast-forward the clock to December 2011 with the release of “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo” (the English adaptation), starring Rooney Mara as Lisbeth Salander, and the half-shaved hairstyle rises to power once again.

Those who prefer something a bit more subtle would enjoy Lisbeth Salander’s second look, achieved by cutting one side of your hair extremely shorter than the other.

Trish Summerville, Costume Designer of David Fincher’s “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo” carries the half-shaved look with elegance.

Music stars/fashion icons Rihanna, Ke$ha and Alice Dellal prove just how refreshing and sexy this look really is.

The mainstream population successfully merges this look into their rockin’ punk-grunge lifestyle.

Not exactly ready to draw a hair clipper to the head? Consider a half-cornrow braided hairstyle. Actress Liv Tyler demonstrates the effectiveness and overall appeal of a half-braided fish-braid. Other braid variations include a French braid, but feel free to experiment.

Not in the mood for shaving or braiding? Another option is twisting the side or adding several rows of twists to the side. The least amount of effort would be the Bottega Veneta Fall 2010 hairstyle, a dollop of hair-gel is all you’ll really need.
