So stop believing that a good hair cut is about- Length, Cut and Comfort. Sometimes one must dare to experiment by flaunting rebellious hair styles. Latest in hairstyling is Mohawk! It was sported by Amir Khan in Taare Zameen Par and even in a song (Behka) in Gajini.

But if you thought only boys can show attitude in this- check the recent pics of Rihana and Demi Moore (an image, posted by Aston Kutcher). Indian hairstylist like Ambika Pillai and Javed Habib confirms this hair trend is becoming popular amongst girls.

As Mohawk came from punk subculture, so hair colors play an important part- use it either as hair highlighter or just cover one section or go for complete hair do. You can opt for single or combinations of colors and choose from vibrant colors like orange, blue, pink, purple and green to neon shades which will make you stand out of the crowd.

 Mohawk means, a hairstyle in which hairs are shaved from both the sides with just vertical hair line in the middle. But Fauxhawk or faux-hawk is getting more popular as you don’t have to shade side hair and but they are just layered and noticeable spike is made in center. 

So whatever version you are going to sport, be careful before mohawking. You need to look for your hair texture when it comes to the length. As fine hair needs added bounce so you will have to try and keep the hairstyle as short and full of layers as possible, in order to add more volume to it. Also be regular with shaving and trimming to maintain it. If going for bi or tri hawks be careful with the shaven and unshaven portions.

Undoubtedly, the most popular show in Youngistan is the MTV’s Roadies – and it has already completed 6 seasons. Either it’s rude Raghu & Rajeev or the bad boys & girls of the show but youngsters like to keep a tab on it. Seeing the demand for such shows, MTV has almost stopped playing music and has completely become RTV (Reality TV) with shows like On the Job (about unusual jobs), Splitsvilla (dating based show), Fast & Gorgeous, Stunt Mania (bike and adventure based), Connected (about twins), Teen Diva (beauty based) and many more.  
 

Channel V is yet to take a stand on some interesting reality shows in past they came up with some beauty shows like Get Gorgeous but at present they have nothing great to offer.

A newly started youth channel – UTVi Bindass channel is doing fantastic job to attract youth by offering shows like Beg, Steal or Borrow – about free adventurous travel and Dadagiri, which focus on college ragging & dance shows like Dance India Dance which were admired by teens & young. Infact UTVi tie up with Indian youth favorite coffee house Café coffee Day and brought a reality show to give a consumer interaction with brand in an interesting manner by installing camera in a Mumbai CCD.

When there are so many varieties of reality shows, the contestants and organizers know well how TRP and tears go together. They create controversy; they gain votes as their lifeline. Even if they are eliminated from show, they get pass to get news, from getting offer to some modeling or a tiny role in B grade Bollywood film or offers to be part of another reality show to spreading inside news of show, contestants and crew. It’s all part of the whole entertainment package.

In today’s fast life, young generation is looking forward to join this new career “Reality Live” to transition from their unknown lives to get 1 minute fame + quick money. Wish them luck; else they would be eliminated from other career options

Bottoms- shorts are in! Jeans are out. Girls please throw your capris, only hot pants will do the trick. In case you are shy and don’t have sexy legs can wear knee length shorts and skirts. Harem pants are also in from traditional block prints to plain in colors.
