Throughout the course of music history, the world has seen some pretty crazy trends – especially when it comes to style. There was a time when it was plausible that if you didn’t have an off-the-wall hairstyle to set you apart from the rest, you weren’t cut out for the industry. Some stars even became well-known more so for their radical hairstyles than for their music. Either way, whether an icon for hair or for music, these rockstars were lead to greatness.

From reverse green mohawks to icy blonde hair teased to the clouds, there’s definitely been some epic do’s that have rocked the scene. Here are the craziest ones we think you should take note of.
