liberty spikes
Vertical punk hair
Liberty spikes are a punk hairstyle in which hair is stiffened into tall, pointed spikes radiating from the head, resembling the crown of the Statue of Liberty.
The style requires heavy product—gel, glue, or egg whites—to hold its shape: It took him an hour to get his liberty spikes to stand up.
