Rock Hair Cuts

Here is how to make the haircut of Karen O, lead singer for the rock band Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Her straight-across bangs gives her a harder edge, but this is more of the rocker look.

You will need mousse, hair dryer, flatiron, and heat-protecting hairspray.

The best hair for this look is hair with a lot of texture and layers. This type of hair is perfect to use with a flatiron that really brings out all of the layers.

To begin with, put mousse in your hair and completely blow dry it. Once you’ve done this, section your hair off.

Next, flatiron (you can use a ceramic flatiron) your hair straight down. At the end, use a little wax to break up those layers.
