Motley-hued punk hair becomes a focal point for self-expression

Implications - A step above accessories but less permanent than tattoos and piercings, bizarre hair colors provide the next best thing when it comes to making a fashion statement. Chromatic hair hues impart a sense of stylish radicalism in which traditional views of beauty are eschewed for unique self-expression.
Trend Themes
1. Bright Colored Hair Trend - A trend towards using chromatic hair hues as a form of stylish radicalism and unique self-expression.
2. Avant-garde Trend - Exploring and experimenting with unconventional and imaginative ideas in fashion.
3. Half-colored Hair Trend - A trend towards coloring only half of the hair in electric color hues and bright colors, seen in fashion collections and popular culture.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Industry - There are disruptive innovation opportunities to create new fashion designs and accessories that incorporate bright colored hair, avant-garde themes, and half-colored hair elements.
2. Beauty Industry - There are opportunities for disruptive innovation in the beauty industry by introducing new hair dye products, hair accessories and hair care products that cater to the needs of customers who want to experiment with bright colors, half-colored hair and avant-garde styles.
3. Entertainment Industry - There are disruptive innovation opportunities to create new styles and looks that are bold, daring and theatrical for performers, artists and actors with a focus on bright colored hair, avant-garde themes, and half-colored hair elements.
