Girl's Punk Hairstyles
Poly Styrene, the Somalian-English frontwoman of X-Ray Spex, wore her hair in an afro, often with a bow or headband (see the above video). So does Jordan. Soo Catwoman comes to mind. The UK punk scene had more hairstyle heterogeneity.
Everyone from Patti Smith to Debbie Juvenile to Lydia Lunch to Nancy Spungen had bangs, usually with shoulder-length hair or an early Chelsea cut. It's true! Most of the women in the early punk movement had bangs. Westwood often dyed her hair then-unusual colors, like near-white blonde, and bright copper. Women who broke the mold included Anya Phillips, a fashion designer and impresario, and Vivienne Westwood, fashion designer and cofounder of the legendary London shop Sex.
There were a few all-girl bands, like the Runaways, but most 1970s bands were all-guy or one-girl. Early women in punk were mostly confined to a few roles: groupie, girlfriend or lead singer.
