South American Inspired

While traveling through South America in the winter of 2004 I couldn't help but notice a reoccuring theme amongst the youth...from the top of Beunos Aries to the Cape Horn kids throughout the region were sporting what I could only describe at the time as" Butterknife Bangs " meets
" Steak Knife Surprise "...it literally looked like someone took a butterknife and attempted to chopp, chisel, carve a 1980's punk rock mullet into the head of every young person between the age of 15 to 25......I'll add in blindfolded just to paint a better picture...;)


As Crazzzy as it sounds....the results were actually beautiful...the cut had no rhym or reason like many of the popular cut's we see today, nor was it confined to a certain race, gender or celebrity icon ...it just was.... Returning home I decided to experiment with this cut while marrying it with some of the poplular 80's inspired punk styles we see in todays youth....What I ended up with was a blend of organized chaos throw in a braid or two and
it flavors the look with a Pinch of BoHemiaN..........


This cut is extremly versitile, takes little to no time to style
and oddly enough isn't confined to one single trend....
It can be worn longer or shorter, flipped out, flipped under,
braided, curled, tossled and you still get that little slice of edgy.
