There's been buzz over the past few months about the return of the bowl cut, ever since New York Fashion Week Fall 2009 when models from 3.1 Phillip Lim were featured in sleek, bobbed versions of this old-school haircut. Also around that time, both Rihanna and Mary J. Blige were seen dabbling with the style.
And most recently, I spotted a straight-not-round version on this young lady, modeling this scarf for Urban Outfitters. This isn't your kindergarten school picture kind of photo, to say the least. We're talking about a modernized, Vidal Sassoon-esque chic style. You weren't loving a recent mullet moment, but would you embrace this potential future trend?

Oh god. I don't care WHO proclaims this the biggest "It" haircut, I would never cut my hair into that heinous style.
1Where's the "Oh hell no" option?
2Good God, no.
3it doesn't look bad on some people
4I had this awful awful haircut in middle school -- you couldn't PAY me enough to get it cut that way again !
5No. Never. Not if my life depended on it.
6I put yes, because I like it on models and Mary J. Blige. Its one of those hairstyles that suit 1/1000 and even then it looks a bit awkward at some angles.
7Agreed with soapbox... if someone can pull it off, then cool. Not me though! (I have curly hair
)
8Not ever.
9i'm asian, i will never let the bowl cut happen to me again....cringe.
10No, it was bad idea the first time around.
11I think I was 12 when I had that haircut. I would never do that again, but some really cool people can make this work.
12For Karen O, yes
13NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I don't want to look like a boy in 1978.
14i like it
15The bowl cut only looked hot on Jim Carrey on 'Dumb and Dumber'. That's it.
16no no no no no and no.
17Too many bad 80's (90's?) childhood memories
18definitely no...almost all of my kindergarten photos are ruined because of that cut
19I couldn't pull it off but I think it looks good on some people.
20You're kidding, right? Did anyone ever embrace this bowl cut? The name is scary enough - how do you like my new bowl cut? I'll keep the bowl for my soup and/or salad, not my hair.
21NEVER!
22NOOOOOOOOOOOO, Not Ever.. I agree with Retrodoll
23@ AmberHoney; "how do you like my new bowl cut?" had me laughing out loud. Priceless:-)
24Yuk...no...not gonna happen...did I say yuk!!??!!
25This might look good on some people, but I don't think any kind of "boy" haircut would ever look good on my heart shaped face, i.e. pixie, bowl cut, mullet... ha ha
26I like to keep up with the latest fashions, but I do draw a line for some things. Aah, no!! Not for me.
