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.
I'd be suprised if it doesn't!
I just posted Martin's pic with a fine combover!
Pissant's just jealous of my roguish good looks.
>>From 1989-1991, I had a mullet. I thought I looked pretty cool, especially with my Metallica jean jacket.<<
Yessir, I thought mine looked cool with the jean jacket, stone washed jeans and white tennis shoes. I was trying to look like Neal Schon of Journey.
That's out of this world!
Nice ....combing... dude.

I consider myself lucky that I understand only about 2% of this thread. I think.
LOL. You've gotten better with age! Mid life acne isn't bad either!
It looks even better when both sides are combed up to create a faux mohican! ;o)
Like yours?
yep! how did you know!!!
I knew you borrowed my mousse for something.
If you think that's bad, check out the website (mulletjunky.com). You'll find some different looking creatures on there.
