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.

THAT look is out?!?! Damn, I'm always the last to know! I don't like it when women grow their hair long, but never trim the ends. 3' of hair 2' of it split. Uggghhh...

I pity the fool who makes fun of my Mohawk?

Worst hairstyle was the one popular with ladies on Lawn Guyland when I was a kid. Don't know what you would call it, but it involved permed hair teased up as high as a goal post.

From 1989-1991, I had a mullet. I thought I looked pretty cool, especially with my Metallica jean jacket.

I had a mohawk in high school. It was a foot tall, green as snot, and fantastic. Ahhh... Those were the days; drinking, brawling, acting like a general maniac. When I think about it it's a wonder that I managed to keep a good GPA.
