Also refers to both the subculture of female skinheads, and the fringe haircuts some of them wear.

Originally, a "chelsea" was a skinhead's girlfriend, sort of like in West Side Story where the closest that young women could get to the life they wanted was to date gang members.

Chelseas (stereotypically) shave their heads, skinhead-style, but leave the bangs for femininity's sake and/or to show how long they've been "in." Some people with this haircut pair it with anti-racism or anti-nazi buttons to show that they're "not that kind of skinhead;" others leave it up to the casual bystander to understand that there's a difference between style and politics, or even that racism and Nazism are in the minority among skinheads.
