Bono’s Hair Through the Ages

May 7, 2015 Alan Cross 3 Comments

Bono has managed to maintain a head of hair throughout U2’s career. Not all this fashion choices were good ones, though–at least not in retrospect. For example, who can forget this look c.1983?

Or the mullet years of The Joshua Tree?

UPROXX has a whole gallery of Bono hairstyles here.

With The Edge, it’s simpler. It starts here…

…and ends here.

Technically not a mullet; which is categorized as long on the back, short on the front. He simply has long hair in that photo.

I would agree with David. If anything, the 1983 pic is more of a mullet. Joshua Tree era hair was all one length… and greasy (looking).
