A modified one perhaps. It is a bowl in that it comes partially down and then terminates in a hanging ledge, but then it’s closely cropped from the ledge down to where the hairline ends. I looked through a number of the classifications in Bridget’s link but didn’t see it. Strange because it was everywhere in the 80s and 90s.
ETA: That’s much closer, Colophon. Thanks, I was typing this while you posted. I’ll look under that. No biggie, it just never was for me so I was curious as to why it was for a time so prevalent.
I think Earl means kind of like this: David Boreanez from the TV show Bones. I’ve seen him on the show wearing his hair in the front coming to a kind of point and I don’t like it, I think it looks dorky. He looked better a couple seasons ago.
If I’m not mistaken, the 2nd photo is a style that’s been around for a while…personally I think it’s very nice…if I had that much hair at my age, I’d wear it that way, too!!
It’s a casual, breezy style, and someone somewhere once said that it looks as if you are in motion when you are standing still!!
I hope it stays around for a long, long time!!!
Rilchiam, it’s surprising to think back about now but I honestly don’t recall anyone ever saying the name of the cut, it was just hip and a whole lot of young guys wore it that way, again around the early 80s. The “mushroom” you link to is close but I don’t remember the crop being so 2 dimensionally flat. I guess the “curtains” probably comes closest to what I remember.
Actually, I couldn’t find a link to what I was really thinking of, which is what you said: not so two-dimensionally flat. The hair was much fuller, giving a mushroom-cap effect.
