Devilock

The devilock is a hairstyle created by Misfits bass player Jerry Only sometime between June 1978 and June 26 1979. In an interview, Only stated that it evolved out of a "tidal wave" hairstyle he wore at the time. Supposedly, Only originally called the hairstyle "the wave," until his mother came up with the more sinister name that stuck. The sides and back of the hair are kept short, while the front is kept long and combed forward. There are several variations of the devilock. The most common version is worn with the front hair pinched into a ponytail. However, the members of Samhain sported devilocks that were spread out and looked more like extremely long fringe. Also called a "reverse mullet" or "forward mullet".
