Hairdo like a dead cat

I've seen lots of men with a haircut that just looks like a dead cat plonked on top of their head and shaved. It can't just be where I live surely?

Sounds a bit like my DS's hair. I think it's UK wide.

The girls I teach call it the "meet me at McDonalds" cut. I know that this isn't a compliment, but I'm otherwise in the dark as to what they really mean by it.

Is it from Peaky Blinders?

😂One of my sons had that haircut last year, and we hated it (but didn't tell him). Thankfully, his GF did, and he got it sorted out

TheYearOfSmallThings · 17/04/2024 18:21

Do you mean the broccoli? Although it doesn't resemble a dead cat to me 🤔

Chickenkorma64 · 17/04/2024 18:32

Intriguing, please can someone post an example picture of this style😊

CumbersomeRobes · 17/04/2024 18:33

I call it the Standard Issue Teenage Boy Cut. Ds has it!

TinySmol · 17/04/2024 18:48

I call it the bin liner haircut.

We call it a dead Guinea pig! 😂

It's horrendous.

TinySmol · 17/04/2024 18:50

That's hilarious and spot on! 😂

DrJoanAllenby · 17/04/2024 19:29

One of my daughters adopted Guinea pigs and one had long black hair and it was rather unsettling to see him run as he looked like a wig running across the floor.

Sadly he's no longer alive after leading a ling and happy life but I found a photo after he had a haircut to make him look less wig like and help him see!

As you can see he looks just like that bloody awful hair do that a lot of young men have!

😆😆

I know exactly what haircut you mean ds and many of his friends have this cut

BaconCozzers · 17/04/2024 19:49

The broccoli 😆

DH has dark brown hair and a standard issue not-too-short back and sides dad-who-still-has-his-hair haircut. We passed a group of young broccoli's a few months ago. Their ears looked lonely and cold, but they had the last laugh as they jeered about "that old dude's Lego hair' as we passed. 😆

Beargrumps22 · 17/04/2024 20:03

There is a Turkish barbers opp my shop and everyone seems to come out of there with that cut!

GrumpySock · 17/04/2024 20:05

I need a picture for reference please

Greywitch2 · 17/04/2024 20:06

My teenage son accidentally got this cut last year at a walk in Turkish barbers. I'm not entirely sure what he asked for but he came out complaining, 'I look like I'm dealing weed on the local estate'.

He did indeed.

It's just one dangerous step away from becoming a...mullet!!!!!

Ha! That's another good description! If they have curly hair.

Gary Numan has a dead cat going on.

Does someone have a pic of the non broccoli haircut?

CarrieMoonbeams · 18/04/2024 07:15

We call it the mushroom top!

Standard issue with the teenage boys here too, but also for young men in their early-mid 20s when combined with grey checked trousers which are slightly too tight and slightly too short and long brown leather shoes.

TheSnakeCharmer · 18/04/2024 07:26

TheYearOfSmallThings · 17/04/2024 20:22

Il broccoli

I think that's probably more accurate.

LlynTegid · 18/04/2024 07:32

Not just where you live OP. Looks awful on most men.

I think cats deserve more respect than to be compared. Cats don't follow stupid fashions.
