What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of the 80s music scene? Musicians with long, black, slick-straight, layered hair with occasional colored streaks banging their heads to the music? Although there may not be a perfect way to define scene hair, all one must do to understand what it looks like is to imagine the 80s music scenario.
Characterized by mostly black, pink, yellow, electric green or any outrageous-colored hair that is pin-straight with a big top ending in choppy layers, scene hair has now become the recent style among teenagers who like to call themselves 'scene kids'. This particular form of hairstyle has its origins in the 80s music scene of the west, and is meant to be a retro look from that period of time.
The concept of scene hair goes beyond the hairstyle itself. Scene boys and girls consider this kind of a style to be a form of self-expression and a true reflection of their identity. Since this particular hairstyle is generally considered to be more of an artwork than most other haircuts, scene kids want to give the impression that they are picky about the kind of style they wear.
Scene hair has earned popularity on the ramps as most of the models who wear this style model almost as wildly outrageous clothes as the hairstyle itself. Although there are many ways how people can wear scene hair, the peek-a-boo style is perhaps the most popular among all others. In this particular style, volume is added to the top of the hair so that it looks like a bob, and the hair is then swept to one side of the head to cover one of the eyes. This is done to give a mysterious look to the person who chooses to wear this style. However, there are other ways as well, and these hairstyles can be done without the peek-a-boo style.
Such hairstyle calls for constant change and most hairstylists think that recently there has been a shortage of creativity from people who choose to wear this style. Stylists are required to change their style over time in order to reflect the kind of personality and attitude that scene hair was meant to exhibit. Furthermore, stylists believe that scene kids should constantly use their creativity to accessorize their styles and change their hair color so that they can stand out even amongst the crowd.
