People Are Giving Themselves Mohawk Haircuts In Lockdown

In these scary, lonely and repetitive times, it's never been more important to look for silver linings.
One such silver lining of living in lockdown is that you don't have to worry about keeping up appearances. It is for this reason that we are currently experiencing an unexpected resurgence of the Mohawk.
The spiky barnet has actually been around for millennia, but in more recent times has been popularised by punks and David Beckham for a little bit.
Now though, all kinds of people who would never usually dream of rocking the risque look are giving it a go, safe in the knowledge their diaries are empty for the foreseeable future.
Clearly many people felt their new look was wasted on their cat alone, as social media is awash with homemade mohawks:
Alright peeps - lockdown Mohican challenge (as my British brother would say)!!!

What do we think? You feeling inspired, or concerned?
Well, if you fall into the latter camp, you may wanna brace yourself for this...
Who'd have thought it, eh? 2020 - the year of the doghawk.
