Elvis
Crowned
It's
the King of the cuts ...
Elvis
Presley's quiff and legendary sideburns have been voted the
most iconic male hairstyle of all time.
Presley's
haircut shocked polite society in the early 50s but came to
symbolise the rebelliousness of rock and roll. Elvis eventually
had his locks shorn off when he was drafted into the US Army
in 1958 - making front page news around the world.

David Beckham was runner-up in the poll of 1,500 men by Argos,
commissioned to support its mens' grooming range. Beckham
sparks a nationwide rush to the hairdressers every time he
changes his look. In the last few years the star has sported
shoulder-length hair, a Mohican and Rio Ferdinand-style 'Cornrows'
but is probably most famed for his £300 skinhead.
Third
in the influential locks list was reggae legend Bob Marley's
magnificent dreadlocks. Marley's hair, flailing in his wake
while singing in concert, is one of the classic pop images
of the 20th Century.
A
spokesman for Argos said: "For most men, doing their hair
is a real headache - they can't be seen to spend longer on
it than the girls. "To come up with a unique and pioneering
look is extremely difficult to pull off - it is a very fine
line between a look that's iconic and one that's inane.
"Over
the last few years, we've seen a sharp rise in the number
of grooming products designed specifically for men."
Other
famous hairstyles included in the slick list were the original
rebel James Dean's, Michael Jackson's afro and Brit luvvie
Hugh Grant's foppish mop.
