Oct 11, 2022

If you're not sure about getting a completely new hair color, you can dip a toe into it with skunk stripe hair! This style is eye-catching and has so many creative ways to switch it up to fit your fashion taste! Here are 15 Skunk hairstyles to inspire you for your next hair makeover!

What is skunk stripe hair?

The Covid-19 Quarantine birthed & resurrected numerous fashion trends and the skunk stripe hairstyle was one of them. The original skunk stripe hairstyle is light blonde, white or grey stripes contrasting with dark foundational hair color like black or brown - just like a skunk! So it's fit to say that the pioneer of this hairstyle is no other than a skunk🦨, but with modern touches, stylists included different patterns and colors (like curtain skunk hair, the popular face-framing skunk hair, two-toned hair) to the style!
