2. In form Mohican (also mohican). Designating a hairstyle in which the head is shaved except for a strip of hair running centrally from the middle of the forehead to the back of the neck.The Mohican hairstyle imitates a traditional deer-hair topknot worn by males of certain north-eastern American Indian peoples; the specific attribution to the Mohican peoples probably derives from the writings of J. Fenimore Cooper, either through conventionalized illustrations in certain editions or through film adaptations of the novels.

The Mohican is now usually distinguished from the Mohawk (Mohawk n. 4) by the fact that the strip of hair is grown long and stiffened to stand erect or in spikes (a style associated particularly with punks in the 1970s and 1980s); however, in earlier use the two terms appear to have been more or less synonymous (Mohican being more usual in Britain, Mohawk more usual in the United States).

Does bald count as a hairstyle? I see you've listed skinhead. What if a skinhead goes bald and we don't notice the transition?

I remember an interview with the Italian footballer, Francesco Totti. The journalist, feeding on speculation, asked if Totti would like it if a Mr X became the new manager of Totti's team, Roma. Mr X was a reasonably well known manager, and often wore a baseball cap because he was embarassed about being bald. 'Why not,' said Totti, 'I've never had a peeled one.' He used the word for peeled (tomato) to mean bald. It was funny.
