A year later, P!nk had kept her hair similar, however she again starred in the music video for 'Just Give Me A Reason' with big curls added to her mohawk and a pink bow!
P!nk (2014)
2014 was a rare year without any P!nk songs in the charts, but it didn't mean she was out of the limelight. P!nk was pictured at Giorgio Armani's fashion show in Paris having once again grown out the sides of her mohawk.
