Mohawk 'worst haircut of all time'
News.au.com ^ | 8/1/05 | staff

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.

What was the haircut worn by a lot of NCAA basketball players that made the wearer look like a pencil with an eraser?

Ironically, on the way to work this morning, I saw a kid of maybe 14 with a green mohawk and thought to myself "No kid of mine would get away with that BS". How easy it is to forget.

So which is it, Mohican or Mohawk? Two different tribes, ya know.

The Mohicans were exterminated, largely (oddly enough) by the Mohawks, who are still around.

Being from the South, I'm kinda partial to the mullet. Lots of guys look hot with one.

I always kind of favored the Mullet-MoHawk combo as the all time winner.

The big hair of the late 80's. It was all the rage.

Wish I would have bought some stock in Aqua Net back then. It was like spray on glue for your hair.

I had a mullet briefly when I was 12 (this was 1989), my parents just loved that.

How about the Femullets.

Women who like women who like mullets. She clearly fills the dominate role in the relationship. She is the protector(hence the slight lean forward, pit bull stance). She has a cast on on each wrist - Either an act of intimidation or a legit battle wound.

The Mullti-level, Mullti-color mullet is both flamboyant and intimidating. The Mullff Diver is REAL, approach with caution.
