paraken

Paraken, also known as P-ken, is a term often used colloquially to describe a style of hairdressing. It is characterized by a close-cropped or shaved appearance on the sides and back of the head, with longer hair left on top. The transition between the shorter sides and the longer top can be a sharp contrast or a more gradual fade. This style is popular in various cultures and can be worn by people of different genders. It offers a low-maintenance option for those who prefer a neat and tidy look. The length of the hair on top can vary significantly, allowing for a range of styling possibilities, from slicked-back looks to textured spikes. The term "paraken" is not a formal hairdressing term and is more commonly encountered in informal discussions or within specific communities. Its origins are not definitively documented, but it is generally understood to refer to this distinct haircut. The versatility of the paraken style contributes to its enduring popularity.
