moptop

Bowl-ish shaggy cut

A moptop is a hairstyle with thick, shaggy hair that falls over the forehead and ears, resembling a mop.

The term became famous with the Beatles in the 1960s, whose bowl-like cuts defined the look: He showed up with a moptop like he'd stepped out of 1964.

By extension, moptop can describe someone sporting the style.
