If you've found yourself enviously eyeing the choppy haircut of the tattooed barista who makes your coffee, you may be ready for an indie rocker hairdo. Girls with fauxhawks or hair colors that don't occur in nature know that redheads do indeed have more fun--fire engine red, that is. Even if you're not quite ready to dye your 'do with cherry-flavored drink mix, you can cut up your favorite band t-shirt and rock an indie haircut.
Indie is a term applied to the culture and fashion created independent of corporations or mainstream media. The line between mainstream and indie fashion has been blurred as by magazines such as “Nylon” promoting “street fashion” in their articles and by street fashion bloggers such as Backyard Bill. Indie hairstyles are generally more conventional than punk or goth styles and dyed with more natural-looking colors. Indie hair styles for women are typically not as high-maintenance as celebrity or mainstream styles.
