For those wondering where the German name for it—Vokuhila—comes from, it’s from vorne kurz, hinten lang. Often also spelled Focuhila, as people forget it’s an abbreviation.

I like the callback to the Celtic tonsure, but that was approaching the Kossack style, the fore part not only cut short but shaved.
