Elvis tops the poll for most iconic ‘classic’ men’s hairstyle of all time March, 2010 – As his 75th birthday approaches at the turn of the new decade, Elvis would be pleased to know that his legendary quiff still tops the charts when it comes to the most iconic hairstyles of all time according to research conducted by head&shoulders classic clean shampoo.*
More than 4,000 Brits were polled on the most classic men’s haircuts of all time revealing that over 50% of men agree that ‘The King’s’ famous quiff and sideburns was a cut above the rest leaving David Beckham’s curtains and Pat Sharp’s mullet “all shook up” with just 17% and 15% of the votes respectively.
However, the survey also showed that when it come down to the chop, men are more likely to go for the fail-safe ‘short back and sides’ option rather than adopting the rock ‘n’ roll style quiff.
Over half of the respondents said that they were more likely to request a classic crew cut as sported by style icons such as Brad Pitt.
Thankfully, the supporting survey from head&shoulders** found that 66% of women find men with crew cuts have more sex appeal than men with quiffs (8%). The survey also found that only 1% of women find men with mullets appealing, proving the classic hair style is the way forward for their male counterparts.
