Gang--- how come I see a lot of photogs with this mohawkish geek/Alfalfa hair thing going on? David Jay has the hair style--- I just read an article in Strobist and the photog had the same thing.....
Is this the style? My style left in the late 80's so I need to try to understand the trends. In reality this hair trend reminds me of the martin short Saturday Night Live skit.
Help and maybe some fashion advice is appreciated.

I think he's talking about the 'do where the hair is gelled up into a spikey ridge that looks semi-mohawkish but without actually shaving the sides.

I agree with the OP. It's like there's a bunch of 20-something Rodesian Ridgebacks running around.

Hmmm… Didn’t the spiky hair die with punk? Seems all I see these days is big baggy pants hanging around mid-thigh level or lower with the undies in clear view. I guess I’m getting old. Spiky hair is could somewhat understand but wandering around with your pants around your ankles I just don’t get. I mean I know that guys do stupid stuff to get laid and I also know that at some time your pants have to come off, but come-on, what ever happened to flirting and the chase. ;)

They can't run, they can barely step over a speed bump:confused:

Guys look much worse with baggy pants (and even worse in tight girl pants) I just don't think that they realize it. They look much nicer in a pair of jeans that fit well.

The hairstyle is called a faux hawk and it looks ok on some guys, some being the key word. :)

I agree.. Maybe we need to start the faux hawk and baggy pants picture thread. ;) Post your best worst faux hawk or baggy pants pic.

Did you know in Louisana a law has been passed making it illegal to wear those pants in public? It has gotten that bad!!!

I agree on the baggy jeans. Should be a snugger fit.

Sorry gang--- I have been sick. YES that is the hair. What is with it? Sometimes the top point is much taller. Can someone explain what this is called or who the heck started this Alfalfa trend?

I work with a guy who does a double comb over. It makes sort of a crisscross pattern.

I don't like comb overs but understand why men who are balding try to do such----- This new creative photog hair style has to have some reason-- and source.
Wazza what made you start doing this? I am guessing you have also noticed other photogs with this style?
If I start doing this to my hair will it make me a better photographer? I need all of the help I can get. :)
