Although graffiti may be most commonly spotted on the sides of city buildings and walls, this edgy form of street art has now inspired a new hair. Joining the ranks of rainbow-hued strands and hair stencilling, graffiti tresses feature pops of brilliant colour. However, the trend takes vibrant tresses to an entirely new level, with artsy patterns integrated into the hair.

On Instagram, rebellious streaks, polka dots and stripes are breaking up the appearance of neon locks. The eye-catching designs are surfacing in every shade from neon orange to intense violet, and are quickly making a splash. Staying in line with the look of spray paint, graffiti strands are understandably wild, free-spirited and youthful.

Not surprisingly, hairstyling mavens are also finding a variety of ways to rock this streetwise new trend. From sharp blunt bobs and asymmetrical pixie cuts to topknots, graffiti hair is quickly showing its true colours.

For anyone who is enough of a rebel to experiment with graffiti strands, this hair colour trend can be a cool transformation for the music festival circuit. However, if you prefer to avoid the crowds and stay in, this fierce colour fad just may be a trend to skip this summer!
