The Indie Rock hair trend flaunts hardcore individuality, edgy sex appeal and feminine confidence.

"Today's modern woman knows femininity doesn't flow from the length of her hair in soft, voluminous curls," says Wayne Grund, founder and creative director at Surface Hair Care. "It comes from within and the way she rocks her own individual style with confidence."

Surface Indie Rock Collection, with its specialized cutting and styling technique, draws inspiration from the modern, independent woman and gives her the freedom to redefine herself with a tough utilitarian, yet feminine organic vibe that exudes a bolder beauty and fresh, sexy edge.

Get the Indie Rock Look

To create this bad-girl look, stylists put their razor and shears to work utilizing clean, straight cuts that feature blunt lines that are individualized with bold under cutting and deep layers.

The transformation continues with the aid of Surface's professional styling products, which lock in shine, play up texture and hold shape for a rocking look.

Surface suggests that stylists blow dry with Crave Styling Paste to create texture and hold and then utilize Shift Molding Clay, Shaping and Shine Wax to detail and define. They can then lock in style with Theory Firm Styling Spray.

Shorter 'dos play up the Indie Rock look with max shock and awe appeal, emphasizing texture and dramatic shifts in lengths and layers. However, for those not ready to embrace the shorter, racier extremes of trend-setters Miley Cyrus and PINK, longer coifs can ooze the rebel look just as boldly by playing up blunt lines and utilizing length to showcase sexy, angular cuts.
