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.

Bless his heart, a little 12 yr.old came to church Sunday with a Mohawk, that his younger brother had cut for him....

..I think the kid was in shock...but it was actually cut very cleanly.

I'm sure the mom was busy with her other 4 kiddoes, and only saw this after the fact.

He will have to live with it till it grows out....

oh my goodness you should have seen it.....LOL

The boy has thick dark hair....and honestly, it was an excellent mohawk....a big mohawk....

..and at first the kid comes in looking kind of proud.....(& I told him it looked good, he's just a little kid)....

..but later he looked like he wished it would go away.....poor baby

I don't see a mullet on Michael Bolton. Do you? ;)

Where's the comb-over on this list? It's clearly in the top ten. I'd put it in above permed easily. Seriously, if you're bald, be bald. Don't try to pretend you're not bald. Shaving your head is also acceptable if you're bald.
