Popular haircut sparks outrage across Texas - as restaurant threatens to ban customers sporting divisive style
2024-06-17
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A popular haircut known as 'The Edgar' has sparked a major backlash - with some restaurants and schools seeking to ban those who sport it.

The bowl-shaped style - which has been compared to a modern Moe of Three Stooges and Spock of Star Trek look - is typically favored by Mexican-American young men who are known as 'Edgars'.

But the trend is causing widespread division in Hispanic communities as locals increasingly link the haircut to crime, while others accuse critics of being racist.
To me that’s a feminine style, but I admit to not being up on the latest gang aesthetic.

#7  In the beauty biz that’s a necessity, alanc.

As for the Edgar, it’s just this year’s mullet. Or the duck tail — some here will remember those.

#4  In San Francisco, forty years ago, it was called a "rice bowl" haircut. Stick a bowl on their head and cut anything that hangs out.
