There are certain hairstyles that are strongly associated with delinquent rebels or punk behaviour — mohawks, pompadours, certain spiky styles, shaggy long hair for The Rock Star in a Heavy Metal or grunge band and a completely shaven head. Usually, this is accompanied by hair dyed unusual colors, in itself often considered a sign of delinquency — in the West, this means colours such as blue, pink, green, and similar shades that don't usually appear in nature. In other cultures, where hair shades are typically more similar from person to person, this can include hair tinted or lightened to red or blonde as well.
In Japanese and other Asian works, this may have something to do with repression of individualism in Asian schools — most evidently in Japan. Of course, this can lead to unfortunate misunderstandings with people who naturally have lighter hair colors. In Western cultures, unusual hair colors are less strongly associated with delinquency than they were in the past, though they are still more commonly worn by teenagers and young adults than by middle-aged or older people. However, the stigma with certain hairstyles remains, so you would probably still be hesitant about bringing home a punk with a blue mohawk to your parents.
Outside of contemporary times, dyeing hair was still significant, but for different reasons. Less than a century ago, dyeing hair at all was considered a sign of badness because it was dishonest. This is why evil blondes in period fiction are often dyed. In Restoration England, natural blondes commonly dyed their hair darker because everyone would think they had dyed it blonde in the first place. (This was partly because of the dangers of earlier dyes: dyeing your hair risked your health for temporary good looks.)
As for shaved heads and shaved hairstyles in general, these are adopted by punks and delinquents of all stripes in part as a form of intimidation. In addition, since having hair is considered the norm in most societies (especially for younger people, hence why Prematurely Bald is almost always linked to Baldness Angst), shaving one's head bald can be seen as a rejection of mainstream standards of beauty and conduct. This is especially the case for women because of the gendered expectations for women to have hair, particularly long hair, as a signifier of their femininity.
For cases of hair dye by itself marking someone as nonconformist (as opposed to a lawmaking troublemaker), see Nonconformist Dyed Hair. A common attribute of The Quincy Punk, subtrope of Face of a Thug when it's natural. If the hair keeps being re-dyed, it overlaps with Kaleidoscope Hair. Compare Makeup Is Evil. See also '50s Hair and '60s Hair, relating to pompadours.

In Red String, Miharu has Bleached Blonde hair and Reika has a perm and her hair is dyed/lightened to a red-brown hue; several people associate them with delinquency — more so Miharu — even though neither of them is. Both of them got restyled together in order to help Reika get over a bad experience. Later, when Miharu is transferred to a more elite school, she is required to dye it back.

Watchmen: the in.universe new subculture of Knot Tops is named for their distinctive hairstyle of shaved sides and hair gathered into a bun on top of the head. It is associated with street thugs, but we also see it worn by people in other contexts, including a rich woman at a high-end restaurant.

Lead character Gentaro from Kamen Rider Fourze puts his hair into a rather prominent pompadour (as can be seen in the opening credits) to complete his appearance, which is that of a stereotypical delinquent... from the 1980s. Despite appearances, he is a friendly, outgoing guy whose stated goal is to become friends with everyone in the school. Does occasionally get him in trouble with the school's would be disciplinarian Oosugi.
JK, from the same show, manages to escape any censuring of his died and heavily styled hair until an episode with a ridiculously overpowered Student Council, which forces both JK and Gentaro to actually wear uniforms and have toned-down haircuts.

In Bleach:
Averted in the case of Ichigo and Orihime who have been bullied (and in Orihime's case, had her hair hacked off) for their naturally (but very oddly) coloured hair but who do their best not to cause trouble (Ichigo is less successful at this).
Played for Laughs when the Soul Reapers show up at Ichigo's school, wearing school uniforms. Ikkaku has his pants rolled up, no socks, and a wooden sword. Renji wears his uniform relatively normal, but with his shirt unbuttoned a bit, revealing the tattoos on his chest, while also wearing a bandanna on his forehead. Onlooking students comment on Yumichika and Rangiku not looking very threatening, and Toshiro and Renji looking odd. Then they point out the scary bald guy. Ikkaku was not amused.

This trope was discussed in Episode 3/Chapter 8 of Blend-S. Sometime in the past, Maika told her mother she wanted to dye her hair blonde out of her Foreign Culture Fetish, but her mother thinks she was attempting to invoke this trope (or even becoming a Japanese Delinquent herself) out of Maika's frustration of her Face of a Thug.

Discussed in Cromartie High School. In an early chapter, Kamiyama takes advice from a book on how to be a delinquent and bleaches his hair. The subject also comes up a couple of other times with Hayashida's purple mohawk which turns out to be a wig that he takes off at home.

After the time skip, he ditches the hair dye for a conservative haircut, signifying his new commitment to business. Amusingly, when he finally goes to jail for his teenage crime of vehicular manslaughter, his hair is bleached blond again.

Pretty much the majority of the cast of Beelzebub has this going on. Makes sense, considering it's a series about an entire school of delinquents. Tojo and Kanzaki both have orange, spiky hair.
Oga inverts the trope by having brown hair while being one of the most powerful humans in the series. Furuichi also inverts it by having silver hair but could have gone to the non-delinquent Saint Ishiyama if not for hanging out with Oga all the time.
Himekawa has silver hair kept constantly in a pompadour. He even sleeps with it in the pompadour style. It's apparently hereditary, but we do see him with his hair down, turning him into a Bishounen.

Nakanojo from Nichijou is a subversion; he has a blond mohawk, but the mohawk is actually his natural hairstyle and Nakanojo himself is a down-to-earth Nice Guy (though Weboshi mistakenly believes he's a delinquent and likes him because of it). His father also has a natural mohawk, but he grew it out long enough that gravity did its job and made it appear like normal hair.

Sharla from the Purple Moon games uses enough bleach and hairspray — along with purple makeup and leather jackets — to give this impression off. She cuts class and acts out because her father walked out on their poor family, which also prompted her makeover; when we see her in Secret Paths to the Sea, it's just after her father left, and she has long, plain red hair and dresses conservatively.

Angel Densetsu has a Deconstruction: genuine delinquent Takehisa has naturally light brown hair. He got a lot of flak for this, so he decided to go the whole nine yards. He dyed it blond and put it up in spikes to be even more delinquent-looking.
Then an In-Universe inversion occurs. Kitano has natural Delinquent Hair and tries his best to make it less noticeable. Then, of course, sensei Hishida tries to "fix" it and this trope is played straight.
Later, the trope is played for laughs with the Butt-Monkey Ogisu: all the other delinquents laugh at his bright red hair.

Yu-Gi-Oh! has both Honda and hired thug Suwatari (Kemo) who have railroad spike hair. Kind of subverted with Jounouchi; despite being a delinquent, his blond hair and messy pompadour-esque hairstyle seem to be natural.

Official art for The Great Giana Sisters shows "Punk Giana" as wearing a mohawk with green and red hair. The reboot toned her down by giving her a more typical (if messy) hairstyle and abandoning the green highlights.

Persona 4 has Kanji Tatsumi, who, after years of feeling like an outcast, began dying his hair platinum blond and wearing dark clothes, causing many to think he's part of a gang, as his mother explains to the protagonist. In the epilogue of Persona 4 Golden, his hair is back to its original black color and he wears a simple white shirt, but in Persona 4: The Golden Animation he decides to dye it back to blond after being made fun of.

Sonic the Hedgehog: Sega of America edited Sonic's appearance on the game's box and in all promotional media to make him look more "punk"-like, shaping his quills to look like a mohawk and giving him a more smug expression. It should be noted that this more closely matches his appearance on the title screen, which is the same in both Japan and America, indicating that the design had already been changed in Japan. This look was also used in several adaptations, such as Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM), but was eventually phased out in exchange for his modern design.

He later tries to compliment the look, only for her to angrily tell him that he is not allowed to like it. She later says he's allowed to like it right before heading back to her universe.
After the Time Skip in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Gwen has retained the haircut, which may be a way of remembering Miles once she's back in her own universe. The non-shaved side of her hair grows to reach her shoulder and the ends are dyed pink.

He was formerly a normal, hard-working student who just happened to have the superpower (or "Talent") of prophetic dreams until one night he had a vision of him flunking his entrance exam. He crammed all night to try to avoid this fate... then fell violently ill on test day, which led to him failing. Ever since then, he's been dying his normally dark-brown hair blonde and blowing it out in huge, dramatic spikes alongside being unkempt, lazy, and wearing jewelry.

Kuroko's Basketball:
A flashback reveals that Hyuuga grew his hair long and dyed it blond (and growing a mustache) to become a delinquent, but the stick didn't last long and everyone else made fun of his look.
Haizaka changed his hair from his grey Shounen Hair to a black short cut with dreadlocks and a shaved motif on his head. He also acts like a delinquent.

In Case Closed, a case is solved because of the differences between the styles of two writers. One was old-fashioned (lovers standing in the rain, separated by a pole was a common scene in his novels) and his delinquents almost always had bleached hair.

In The Elder Scrolls series, the ancient Chimeri/Dunmeri hero and Founder of the Kingdom, Lord Indoril Nerevar, is typically depicted with a tall mohawk. The sacred Indoril armor worn by the Ordinators in Morrowind is said to be in his image, with the helmet featuring his distinctive mohawk. Any "delinquency" is averted given his status as a legendary hero and saint in the Tribunal Temple.

One Piece:
Kyoushirou has a long pompadour and is a yakuza boss. His hair is also blue, but that's not unusual for the residents of Wano Kuni. The pompadour is a wig, though, and it can be removed quite easily. Once Kyoushirou reveals himself to be Denjirou, he removes the wig permanently and reveals his identity as the last of the Akazaya Nine. The long pompadour also helps Denjirou/Kyoushirou to hide his angry face when bowing to Orochi.
In the past, Kin'emon dyed his hair blond when he was a rebellious delinquent. After becoming the vassal of the new daimyou Kozuki Oden, Kin'emon dyed his hair back to black to look professional. While Wano Kuni is essentially the One Piece equivalent of feudal-era Japan, this trope doesn't work well with him because most people in Wano have such colorful hair colors, and only a few prominent characters actually have black hair, so having blond hair wouldn't be out of the ordinary.

Pokémon:
Team Skull, the villainous team of Pokémon Sun and Moon, are based on street punks. The male and female grunts have neon blue and hot pink hair respectively, and the admin Plumeria has a strange double-pigtails 'do where the front two are pink and the back two are yellow.
Team Yell from Pokémon Sword and Shield are based on the British punk counterculture. Male grunts have their hair shaved down to stubble save a mohawk while female grunts have their hair in a bob, both of which are dyed bright pink. Marnie also has pink highlights in her hair, while her brother Piers has parts of his hair dyed white, styled it to have spikes, and tied it in three ponytails with some bangs covering his right eye, as if to make himself resemble an Obstagoon.
Implied with Delinquent trainers. They have blonde hair but black roots, implying their hair is dyed, befitting of Japanese stereotypes involving delinquents bleaching their hair.
Scrafty from Pokémon Black and White has an orange crest on its head that resembles a mohawk, fitting its street punk aesthetic. Meanwhile, Simisage sports a giant bush on its head that resembles a pompadour.
Both forms of Toxtricity from Pokémon Sword and Shield sport electric frills that resemble mohawks, befitting of their punk rocker inspirations.
A handful of examples exist in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
All four forms of Squawkabilly have tufts of feathers on their heads that resemble pompadours fitting of their rockabilly inspirations.
Maschiff has a tuft of fur on its head that looks like a bright yellow mohawk.
Grafaiai has four tufts of fur on its head that look like spikey green hair sticking out from under a hoodie.
Fitting their status as actual delinquents, some of the Team Star Bosses also sport this look, either having wild and messy hair or having parts of their hair dyed.

Ran, the main character of Gals!, continually gets flack from her teacher for having bleached blonde hair with a red streak. During one story arc, she dyes her hair orange, and a number of freshmen follow suit, much to the faculty's dismay. In an attempt to stem the tide of ko-gals, Naka-sen promises to cut her summer homework in half if she dyes her hair back. Instead of going back to her original black, however, Ran goes back to her usual blonde style.

Nana: Every male member of Nana O.'s band The Black Stones sports a hair style associated with punks because, well, they're a Punk Rock band. Nobu has dyed blonde short spiky hair, Shin's hair is spiky and dyed light blue, and Yasu is completely bald. A similar pattern can be seen with the members of Trapnest: Ren has short spiky black hair in a direct reference to Sid Vicious, drummer Naoki has spiky dyed blonde hair, and depending on the artist, Layla's hair is either light brown, blonde, or pink. Only Nana and Takumi avert this: Nana's short black hair helps her maintain the Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette look she intentionally cultivates and Takumi as the business face of the band, goes for the less wild but still a bit outside of the norm long jet black hair.

The same could be said of Josuke Higashikata from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure with his massive pomp, which other characters note as pretty outdated even for the time period (late 90s). He has it to honor the memory of a young man who helped his mother when Josuke was extremely ill. Despite his appearance, he isn't actually a delinquent, but insulting his hair is a massive Berserk Button for him, as Rohan learned the hard way. Josuke's other best friend, Okuyasu has a smaller pompadour and dyes the sides of his hair.

Haganai
Kodaka Hasegawa, the protagonist, is wrongly assumed to be a delinquent by most of his peers due to his naturally blond hair; other people assume it's dyed (since in Japan, dying one's hair is typically looked down upon as delinquent behavior), but it's actually natural since his mother is British.
Also inverted with Kobato and Sena; while they are not exactly delinquents, they behave in ways that society would deem quite unfitting, yet despite their own natural blonde hair, neither is seen as a delinquent or such by others. It's generally accepted though that this is because Kodaka's hair looks dyed, while Kobata's and Sena's look much more natural.

As Guitar Hero's punk character, Johnny Napalm is an obvious example, having sported a spiked mohawk throughout most games in the series (green in the first two games, red in III). Alternate costumes usually give him straight mohawks, or make him a skinhead. The only other hairstyle he's had was a McSqueeb in Rocks the 80s (which also fits by way of its association to the skater subculture, as it was Tony Hawk's hairstyle in the '80s).

Once she accepts that she can't grow back her ruined mane quickly, Rarity opts to turn it into a multicolored punk mohawk. Downplayed as it's portrayed as a great fashion choice and inspires a manestyle trend long after her own mane has grown back.

The Quintessential Quintuplets: Protagonist Fuutarou Uesugi used to have blond-dyed wild hair back in middle school, heavily contrasting with his current self sporting his natural dark blue (black in the manga and Season 2) hair. Nino, the second quintuplet, sees a photo of him looking like this and calls it "totally my type" not realizing who he is (he passes it off as being a cousin of his).

Discussed in K-On! during its yearbook pictures episode; the girls' school requires students whose hair isn't black or dark brown to bring their baby pictures to prove that their hair color is natural, and anyone who fails to do so is forced to dye their hair before their picture are taken.

In Dragon Ball Z, after Goku and Gohan achieve Super Saiyan status, Chichi sees them for the first time and is dismayed that they've become delinquents. This happens again with Goten (only to be unfortunately translated as "monster" in the first Funimation Z dub) and even becomes a Running Gag in the biography mode in a video game.

Durarara!!:
Shizuo dyed his hair blond to differentiate himself from his similar-looking (but diametrically opposite in personality) brother and kind of fits since he has an extreme Hair-Trigger Temper and works for loan sharks. It's revealed in a side story that bleaching his hair was Tom's idea: Tom figured that looking the part of a delinquent would deter other kids from picking fights with Shizuo. Shizuo opposed the idea at first (rage disorder aside, Shizuo's about as far away from the delinquent persona as one could get), but eventually changed his mind when he realized just how much Tom cared about his well-being.
Masaomi, an easygoing class clown type and former gang leader, dyed his hair blond which is ironic since his former gang is yellow.
Walker might fit too. He definitely satisfied the delinquent part of it, but since he might be biracial, his blond hair could be evidence of Phenotype Stereotype.
Miscellaneous thugs in the series, such as those in the Blue Squares, often have dyed hair.

Happened to Yoshiki Hayashi during his high school years. It seemed his teacher really didn't like blonde, spiky hair.

Eyeshield 21 has a lot of this. Two of the Ha-Ha brothers and Hiruma are bleached blonde, Agon wears his hair in dreads, and Musashi isn't a delinquent but is supposed to look like one with his mohawk.

YuYu Hakusho:
Kuwabara styles his hair in a pompadour and calls himself the "Sarayashiki Middle School's number-one delinquent". His hair also has a reddish tone, but nothing states that he bleached it.
A bit less obvious, but Yusuke also styles his hair in a very short pompadour. Also calls himself the "Sarayashiki Middle School's special number-one super-delinquent".

Makoto Kino of Sailor Moon isn't actually a delinquent, but her tall height, strength, long-skirted school uniform, and naturally curly light brown hair all make her fellow students perceive her as this.
