Noteable Haircuts & Hairstyles Reference
Devilock
The devilock (A variation of the frullet) is a hairstyle made famous by Jerry Only of The Misfits around 1979. The sides and back of the hair are kept short, while the front is kept long and combed forward. There are several variations; the most common version is worn with the front hair pinched into a spiked ponytail, save that the hair is usually styled in place with gel rather than with hair ties.
Dreadlocks
Dreadlocks, sometimes called simply locks or dreads, are matted ropes of hair which will form by themselves if the hair is allowed to grow naturally without the use of brushes, combs, razors or scissors for a long period of time. Although the term 'dreadlock' was originally associated closely with the Rastafari movement community, people of various cultures have worn, and continue to wear, locks.
Duck Tail
The duck tail is a hair cut currently popularized by Cleveland Cavaliers player Drew Gooden. It is sometimes referred to as a Gucci Tail. The style was more popular during the 1980s in the United States.[1] When asked about the unconventional style, Gooden has responded, "I want to see how long I could grow it. My teammates doubt that I can grow it out throughout the whole season, but I told them I could, so we’ll see what happens. I’m going to get it braided and put two beads on it. I might dye the tip blonde. It’s an ‘80s thing and I’m an ‘80s baby. I had a duck-tail, a “Gucci tail” back in the 80s, so I’m bringing it back."
Fauxhawk
The fauxhawk hairstyle is an approximation of a mohawk made without buzzing or shaving the sides of the head, allowing an imitation of the extreme look of a true mohawk without having to commit to it by shaving the head. The fauxhawk was introduced into pop culture by international soccer superstar David Beckham, who often sported the style, before shaving his head.
The fauxhawk is typically worn with a small but noticeable spike in the middle, though usually considerably shorter than many traditional Mohawks. Because a fauxhawk does not involve shaving the head, most, if not all, of the hair will be gelled upward, allowing for a much larger, but less dramatic, mohawk.
Feathered Hair
the haircut gained phenomenal popularity in the early 1970's, many British celebrities wore this style at some time or another including Tim Brooke Taylor of The Goodies and Eric Idle (who wore it for a short time between about 1969 and 1971. Notable American celebrities who were known for the style include Farrah Fawcett and Don Johnson. The continued popularity of feathered hair may have been helped by the dominating fashion influence of Disco music in the late-70s and by the ideas and themes of "cool" in the 1980s.
