The mop top haircut was initially inspired by the rock band The Beatles. It features hair that looks like a mop, though the styles vary with twists. Typically, hair is straight with minimal texture, and is only as long as the collar. The hair also covers the ears and bangs are short.
The mop top is a great choice for men looking for a fun 60s vibe and who have round or square faces, though almost anyone can easily pull it off.
