What Is Skunk Stripe Hair?

In guitar terms, a skunk stripe refers to the thin brown strip running down the neck of the instrument. And when it comes to hair, it's pretty much the same thing—a bleach blonde, light brown, or brightly colored highlight patch that contrasts the rest of your hair. 

Then, when was skunk hair popular? Enter 'skunk hair', the grungy '90s trend that saw celebs and beauty influencers bleaching bold streaks of hair at the front of the hairline to frame the face. This trend represents a break from the norm. Moreover, people are doing more innovations about this now. They use richer colors to make darker high-contrast shades and adjust the parts of the highlights for a more distinctive look.
