What Are Liberty Spikes Hairstyles
Liberty spikes separate hair spikes from the crown of the head outwards. Several variations include lining them up in a Mohawk pattern or exploding in opposite directions. The hairstyle originated in Ancient Britain, where warriors wore it as a badge of honor.
Following the Roman conquest of Britain, the Romans’ confined hairstyle became the new norm. Until the 1970s, the general public did not use spikes for centuries. The punk subculture began to rebel against the establishment through music, attitude, and fashion.
The subculture transformed the diadem on the Statue of Liberty’s crown to promote individual freedom into an anarchist-inspired style.
