Mohawk 'worst haircut of all time'

THE mohican, as infamously sported by England soccer star David Beckham, has been voted the worst hair disaster of all time.

And the much maligned mullet came in a close second on the list of worst hairstyles in history. Also in the top 10 of most hated dos, as voted for by 1022 people quizzed for a new UK poll, was the beehive - whose most famous owner was Patsy from TV comedy Absolutely Fabulous - the helmet head and the classic ironed look.

Results of the Braun survey list the worst hair disasters of all time as:

1.The Mohican - a favourite of punks and football stars.

2.The Mullet - the 1980s look favoured by crooner Michael Bolton, which adds a very nasty twist to a short back and sides.

3.The Beehive - the 1960s look that defies gravity, thanks largely to hairspray, and for some reason made a comeback on catwalks in the 1990s.

4.Helmet Head - otherwise known as the "bowl" or "basin" cut.

5.New Romantic - it's long on one side, short on the other.

6.Back-combed Bouffant - sculpted, sprayed and teased into a helmet of big curls, waves, and bouffant which was surprisingly popular in the 1960s and 1980s.

7.Perm - loved by all throughout the 1980s.

8.The Ironed Look - sometimes achieved using the classic household appliance - the iron.

9.Crimped - a favourite among rockers in the 1980s.

10.The Page Boy - Marcus in About a Boy sported one. It's straight across the front and trimmed to the nape of your neck.

LOL. Nope. Lawn Guyland girls all sprouted hair similar to the man in post #3.

I don't know what you call it, but for a while, young guys were wearing their hair in numerous little wet-looking points on top of their heads, each with a blond tip. That was pretty darned ugly, too!

They were swelled with something; possibly pride, but more likely rage.

Corn rows are trashy looking. Much worse than the Mohawk.

Re: the "ironed" look..what everyone forgets is that before girls ironed their long straight hair, they would wash it in beer..

A man moves into a nudist colony. He receives a letter from his grandmother asking him to send her a current photo of himself in his new location. Too embarrassed to let her know that he lives in a nudist colony, he cuts a photo in half but accidentally sends the bottom half of the photo. He is really worried when he realizes that he sent the wrong half, but then remembers how bad his grandmother's eyesight is, and hopes she won't notice.

A few weeks later he receives a letter from his grandmother. It says, "Thank you for the picture. Change your hairstyle... it makes your nose look too short."

I had a Mohawk for about 2 weeks in 1985. I visited my parents on a weekend home from college, and my mom began a crying jag that ended with me voluntarily cutting it off the next day to stop it. My dad liked it, and I always thought that HE was the stuffed shirt in the household.
