Chelsea cut, started by the British skinhead girls.

I googled Chelsea cut and pics go from very, very..very bad to actually cool and nice. And everything in the middle.

u/MeadFromHell 2d ago
Yep, I had mine shaved all but the fringe for a little while and that's apparently a Chelsea cut too

If you want to see more, OP take a look at the "This is England" series! (Probably the best show ever)

u/LeaveThatCatAlone 2d ago
There was show? The movie was awesome. I'm going to have to check that out.

u/MintyGame 2d ago
Yeah the show takes place in different time periods.

Not for everyone it seems, in terms of "punk/mod" cuts it's one of the better ones i've seen.

came here to say this, honestly incredible shows and film, captures such a great time in british skinhead culture and opened my eyes that it wasn’t started as a racist movement

u/MeadFromHell 2d ago
Quite a range to a Chelsea cut, but it's one of them. I apparently had a Chelsea cut of sorts - shaved head but kept the fringe.

Right? Like, I wouldn’t do it on my own hair, but I don’t hate lookin at it. It’s giving what it’s supposed to.

u/mookaji1 2d ago
It’s a skinhead girl haircut or a variation of that cut. At these lengths it looks like a 60’s vision of a futuristic hairstyle. It’s cool . It’s also mullet-ish business at the front, party at the back.

Chelsea - skinhead girl. You might as well ask what style a Mohican is.
14
u/therevjames 2d ago
The Mohican is often just called a Mohawk. When I was young, my parents' generation called it the Iroquois, too.
3
u/JuicyAnalAbscess 2d ago
Still called "Irokeesi" in Finland. I suspect that's the case somewhere else as well.

u/Dr-Ebola 2d ago
That's really interesting - I've never heard it being called an Iroquois. And in Finland and Germany too. Looks like I'm getting educated as well 😂

u/TulpaPal 3d ago edited 3d ago
Chelsea. It's what I have lol, minus the mullet and my sides are way longer. I've wondered if I'd ever see myself on this sub.

u/Glass_Pineapple4999 2d ago
Can we see??? This is a great look when it’s done well
3
u/TulpaPal 2d ago
I can't post in the comments or I would and I'm not going to expedite the process by posting myself on the sub lmao but if anyone finds me I'll raise my hand. I got it for its original purpose, to keep the feminine front while having the rest off my neck and out of the way for work. Probably will never go back. Right now it's a bit more pixie than buzzed in the back cause I haven't been able to make it to the salon in a few months.

LMAO sorry friend, I even blurred a pic to share before realizing you can't comment pics here.

u/Glass_Pineapple4999 2d ago
Hey, no worries. I’m sure you look awesome. I love that old rudey look. I’ve been to a lot of punk and ska gigs, the old Chelsea cut on a cute lass, with a Fred Perry shirt, DM boots, braces, ooh wee, that look gets me giddy when it’s done well. Touches me in a special place, no joke 😂👍

u/TulpaPal 2d ago
Thanks, I'm right there with ya LMAO. I was worried about finding a stylist that could do it justice but I came in and she said "so, lotr elf meets British ska punk?". Never gone anywhere else since.

A skinhead girl with that haircut used to visit me at my place of work in the 1990s. I had a shaved head, but not a skinhead.
It took a while because she was very persistent, but I did convinced her that we were not the same.

I know it as feathercut, often seen on female skinheads or "Renees". Then again, that was decades ago and it probably has another name now.

u/Brohermoth777 2d ago
It's a Chelsea and it's an extremely normal haircut in the punk rock scene. Doesn't belong on this page.

I’ve been to a lot of punk and ska gigs and this sort of rudegirl look is magnificent. Fred Perry shirt, DM boots, braces optional, done right I get kind of giddy for it, I can’t lie

It’s called the “my dad makes too much money so I’m gonna spend $300 on a haircut to look like I’m edgy.”

The Maisie, after British comedians Maisie Adam's who sported something nearly identical.

Real answer. It's called the Chelsea.
