The Latest Fashionable Haircut for Men influenced in part by Smith's Debut Album Cover

Sunday's New York Times reports that:

Ever feel like doing the hustler? Try this look, influenced in part by a photo of the Warhol himbo Joe Dallesandro and made famous by the Smiths' debut-album cover. With its eye-brushing bang and shaved back, this perennial haircut is enjoying another return. The hairstylist Losi (for John Frieda Salon) says, ''In the 80's, we called this 'the Model Cut,' because all the male models had it.'' Model or not, you can get the look with the right products. Start with Kiehl's Protein Shampoo ($14). For straight hair, use ''just a schmear'' of John Frieda wax ($7) while damp to control fly-aways. Those with wavy locks should mix Kiehl's Extra-Strength Styling Gel and Creme with Silk Groom ($16 and $17) to damp hair and briefly blow-dry while brushing forward. But Brillo-haired boys beware. As Losi cautions, ''With curly hair, this cut can have a mushroom effect.''

    Surely you don't need to go out and buy all that wax and shampoo to get that hairdo.
    Just walk straight out of the shower, and hey presto! that's it.
    By the way, what a tenuous link to Morrissey this article is.

      I see it a lot on top of the heads of people who keep coming to my house and calling me "bros." while drinking Hi-Life and talking about their tatoos and gauge sizes.
