The Mohawk has become mainstream, according to this NYT piece. Link. Excerpt:
Some are curly and extend down the back into mullets or are gently buzzed along the sides. The result is a hybrid of looks, including the mulladour - half mullet, half pompadour - or as in the case of Maddox Jolie, the hawkapoo, referring to the popularity and cutesiness of certain curly mixed-breed poodles.
"Like a lot of things in beauty, what was considered ugly last week is probably going to be beautiful next week," said Howard McLaren, the creative vice president of the Bumble & Bumble salon in New York. Mr. McLaren is an advocate of the modern Mohawk, which is also making a comeback on skateboarders in Santa Monica, Calif., and among hipsters in Hoxton, London's answer to the meatpacking district in Manhattan.
"Everyone should have one at some point in their life," Mr. McLaren said. "The first really cool one I saw was about five years ago in Paris when the designer Jeremy Scott shaved one side of his head and wore his hair off to the side. It was floppy and not all gelled up, trying to be some kind of fin."
