Liberty nails are inspired by the Statue of Liberty.
Liberty spikes are a hairstyle commonly associated with the punk fashion style. The hair usually comes in long, thick spikes that point up from the scalp. These spikes can be shaped in several different ways, all over the head or in straight lines similar to a mohawk. The name of the spikes of liberty comes from the Statue of Liberty, which features a spiked crown on the head of the statue.
Some people use white glue to form freedom spikes.
One of the reasons free ends are so popular with certain people is the fact that the wearer must have long enough hair to form the ends. Also, the Statue of Liberty hairstyle cannot be done with traditional hair care products. Using hairspray, mousse, or gel usually doesn’t last long, causing the ends to fall apart. To combat this, many people have developed cheats for freedom spikes. Some of the more notorious examples of weird products include white glue, egg whites, gelatin, and shaving cream.
The styling process is relatively simple, but sometimes people may need help, especially when the hair is quite long. Hair can be clean or dirty as many hair care products need to be used anyway. First, the hair should be combed or shaken to give it more support and thicken the necessary areas. The hair is then pulled from the base of the scalp to the ends and presented with the chosen hair product, sometimes with the subject lying on their side. Twisting the ends will help maintain the post’s shape for a longer period of time.
It is not uncommon for freedom spikes to be colored in some way. People with the hairstyle often dye their hair an unnatural color, such as fluorescent blue or pink, although black is also common. An interesting pattern can easily be created by dyeing the individual tips in different colors. Additional patterns can also be placed on the scalp, in the form of tattoos or staining of dyed areas.
The origins of the Liberty Peaks hairstyle stem primarily from the London punk rock scene of the 1970s and early 1980s. Many bands and fans of the musical form adopted the hairstyle, most notably the industrial and goth subsections of the culture, commonly known as “River Heads”. However, the exact person or persons responsible for the style and name is unknown.
