Jesus he has the worst hair on a boy i've ever seen, that giant mushroom bowl cut looks god awful. It looked ok in season 1 but in season 2 is when it got bad.

I wish MIKE would get a new haircut, I really can't stand what it's turned into. We kept calling him him "Mushroom Head" while watching. I'm wondering if he'd look better with a buzz cut.

At least it's no Real Genius (1985) haircut, LOL:

Was that a common style back then? Val Kilmer completely shaved his sideburns. You usually do that when getting a crew cut with a fade.

I actually liked Chris Knight's hair, but not everyone can pull off a hairdo like that.

I was around in '85 and you did occasionally see that no-sideburns look, but it wasn't that common. It seemed to be popular with Dutch and German people from what I recall.

Will's haircut was called a 'bowlhead' when I was at school. Any boy that sported that after the age of 12 or so was bullied mercilessly as it was considered a real nerd's style except on little kids. I started training my hair back when I was about 10, and lost the bowlhead completely by age 11.

I honestly found his haircut and that of Mike look too much like 70's haircuts. For example of how kids really looked like in 1985, the cast of The Goonies from 1985:
