MEN’S
SPIKY HAIR

SPIKY IS COMING BACK.

Not polished.Not flat.Not made to behave.

Spiky hair carries the attitude of UK punk and everything that came after it.

It works especially well for people who like punk, alternative fashion and styles with a harder edge.

But it isn’t only about the look.

01

If your sides naturally push out, we don’t always need to fight them.

We can use that width as part of the shape.

And if you don’t want a haircut every month, a spiky style can grow out better than a clean, tightly controlled cut.

02

There isn’t just one way to create it.

Some spiky styles are built with the haircut and styling product.

Some use a perm to create lift, separation and movement.

For more extreme looks, heavily lightened hair can create a rougher, stiffer texture that holds volume and spikes more easily.

That approach may require multiple bleach sessions and is only suitable when the hair condition allows it.

03

The goal isn’t to make every strand stand up.

It’s to control where the shape expands.

Where it breaks.And where the spikes hit.

Clean enough to look intentional.

Rough enough to keep its attitude.

DON’T FLATTEN IT.

USE IT.
