I thought I had seen everything that could be done with a human head of hair. But I was wrong. I had never envisioned [this](http://cdn4.image.bored.com/thumbnails/haircut-catastrophes-snuck-out-barbershop/asset_20433__big_no.jpg). Is there even a name for this? ---

It’s a Friar Tuck. I guess he was lying on his back instead of sitting up in the chair. ---

It’s like his neckbeard migrated north for the summer. I propose the term “headbeard.” ---

Wow. And here I’d thought I’d seen every possible variation on the self-degrading haircut. I did see something new and different (at least to sheltered old me) the other day. It was a 30-ish white guy with a standard dark brown / black stand-up Mohawk about 3" tall on an otherwise shaved head. So far so ordinary. Except it was set at about a 30 degree angle to his fore-aft axis. So it started over his left eye and ran diagonally across the top of his head and ended down behind his right ear. Very rakish, like a beret on waay too lopsided. Very affected but still kinda cool at the same time. ---

Douche Beard does it for me. Bravo. Showed the OP’s pic to my wife. “Foolproof birth control” was her verdict. ---
