The latest of the Mohicans

Aaaanyway, so I was sitting in a ludicrously trendy bar somewhere in the ‘Schmillage‘, feeling mildly inadequate, when it was pointed out that because there were two people with Mohicans, this was clearly the start of a global trend. My first instinct – bollocks, but now I am seeing them everywhere. Conclusion – I have either lost my mind or everyone else has.

This time the Mohican is different – it is not the six inch, superglued, punk rebel thing, but a sort of ironic, wear it with designer clothes, look – a post modern Mohican or Pomohawk.

The genealogy of this haircut is different too – clearly there has been a progression from 1. the mop-top messy haircut that it now mainstream to 2. the ‘Hoxton fin‘ where the mess is brushed into the middle currently claiming victims all over London, leading finally to 3. shaving the sides off and leaving nothing but the mess in the middle.
