Japanese women shape pubic hair into Beckham Mohicans

Growing numbers of Japanese women are said to be modelling their pubic hair on David Beckham haircuts. According to the Mainichi Daily News the trend is most popular among office workers. Apparently there are three basic cuts:

1. 'Soft Beckhams' are those where the hair is allowed to grow freely but it curls back to form a natural peak.
2. 'Popular Beckhams' involve brushing the hair into a Mohican, while
3. 'Hardcore Beckhams' require the wearer to dye the top of the Mohican an eye-catching colour.

The paper cites an office worker named Yuri as saying the trend is taking off because it has opened up a new arena of rivalry. She said: "Pubic hairstyling can make the difference for a girl when she's competing with another girl whose looks are about the same as hers."
