The new Mullett

[shamus]

I've notice what I would consider the modern mullett.

It's where a guy with shorter hair puts lots of gel in it and then pushes it up in the middle of his head like a mohawk.

Does anyone know the name for this style?

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Dunno the name. Are they still doing that? That is sooooo late 90s!

[Baggers]

Are you referring to that silly "bed head" look?

Cheers!

 

[Marc Chevalier]

I believe it's called the "baby-adopted-by-full-lipped-movie-actress-with-new-quasi-husband" hairstyle.

 

[herringbonekid]

in England that is called the 'Hoxton fin' after the trendy area of Hoxton, east London where the style was frequently seen.

My husband is a hairdresser and he calls it a "faux-hawk"...

Isn't that how David Beckham wears his hair? I think he made it popular.

 

[Braxton36]

"Unkempt" comes to mind...

Yep. In Chicago, it's the 'faux-hawk', as well. . .sported by the metrosexuals & pre-teens who's parents would kill them if they ever got a real one.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Late nineties brit pop bands (Travis etc.) sported this haircut - or something very similar. It was bad then, it's bad now (but i'm not one to talk - Mr. Bun)

[Baron Kurtz]

Now the Root has got a bee in his bonnet ... i'll never have it cut!

Faux-hawk! I like that one. For those 'part time punks'!

 

[Mr. Jason]

Yep faux-hawk and as someone who formerly wore an actual mowhawk it always puts me off just a tad to see them. My all time favorite mowhawk modification is the frohawk. Doug Pinnick the bass player for Kings X had the quintsential frohawk for those of you that might remember those good ol' days (I tried to find a good picture but failed).

 

[Absinthe_1900]

I remember when Doug had Jeri curls.

Absolutely apalling Absinthe! If anyone refuses to believe that the phenomenon commonly reffered to as, "The Dumbing Down of America" is a myth, all they need do is take a look at this! :rage:
Can't wait until this goes away,....if indeed it ever will,....... [huh]

I don't mind a little fauxhawk! I guess every generation has their rebel hairstyles. What is odd to me is that when I look at groomed men/actors in the 30's (-60's) their hair looks nice/smooth, but now, most of the younger ones have that bed-head messy unkempt hair (even my Michael Bublé ) and I cannot see them without that messy do. I guess because It's "my generation" and that's the style these days.

 

[Maj.Nick Danger]

I guess every generation,....

...has their rebelious styles, luckily most people outgrow them. Back in the 40's Zoot suits used to cause actual riots! I think Zoot suits are the coolest! :cool2: Maybe back then I wouldn't have? Or maybe I would if I were a 19 year old hipster?

Yep. Makes me wonder why someone really bothers to go to that extent to look messy. :eusa_doh:

Honestly? It just doesn't make sense to me. There are far easier and cheaper methods to looking unkempt.
