Teenage Hairstyle Ideas

Want to stand out in a sea of thousands of teens? You must stay two steps ahead of the trends. Don't limit yourself to classic hairstyles such as side-swept bangs. Get creative with your hairdo.

Punk Streaks

Bright-colored streaks have been the rage in the emo community. If you don't want a full head of hair dye, get streaks or purchase clip-on streaks in bright colors or patterns.

Glam Goddess

If you crave the soft curls worn by celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Beyoncé and Hilary Duff, use a hot roller to create the look. Heat the rollers and place them in your hair, rolling inward. Let the rollers sit until they cool. Remove them and run your fingers through your hair. Spray with hairspray to create a soft and lasting finish.

Two-Toned Hair

Are you torn between black or blond? Choose both with the rocker-style trend of two-toned hair. Ask your stylist to create a part in the middle of your hair, extending from ear to ear and apply black hair dye to the top half and blond dye to the bottom. This style looks cool in ponytails and can be created with about any two hair colors.

Modern Bob

Follow in the footsteps of Selena Gomez with a bob. In mid-2009, Gomez chopped her waist length waves for a mod bob. Ask your hairstylist for a graduated shoulder length bob with long side-swept bangs.

Boy Bangs

Whoever said bangs were reserved for girls doesn't know Pete Wentz and Zac Efron. Ask your stylist for wispy, textured bangs. If you like punk, emo or goth styles, add a streak. If you like preppy, ask for highlights and low lights.
