text: Those who wore it risked being called a 'mushroom head' by the less fashion forward at school but that hasn't prevented the bowl cut from making an unlikely comeback. The statement Nineties chop, made famous by Jim Carrey’s Lloyd Christmas in Dumb And Dumber, has graced the heads of celebrities far and wide in recent years - from Rihanna and Robert Pattinson to Lena Dunham and Miley Cyrus - and is spreading like wildfire among hipsters. One chain of British barber shops has reported a whopping 200 per cent surge in requests for the almost universally unflattering cut, with men queuing around the corner for their turn to get the snip. The statement 90s chop, made famous by by Jim Carrey’s Lloyd Christmas in Dumb and Dumber (right), has graced the heads of celebrities far and wide in recent years, including Robert Pattinson (left) 'We have been really surprised by the popularity of the bowl cut,' admits Headcase director Martin Nobbs. 'We’ve even had women coming into the barbers asking for the traditionally male style. It’s fast becoming the 2015 hipster trend.' The craze may have been fuelled in part by the release of Dumb And Dumber To, the recent sequel to the 1994 cult hit, in which Jim Carrey hung on to his character's trademark chop. Indeed, Twilight heartthrob Rob Pattinson surprised everyone last November when he adopted the bowl cut, the same month the film came out. Members of the public take the plunge and opt for a bowl haircut . Headcase Barbers (pictured) has tipped the style as a must-have look for summer 2015 . Girls star Lena Dunham drew a similar gasp from commentators last year when she unveiled her own platinum blonde version on Instagram, stating: 'Change is good.' Miley Cyrus has also enjoyed a brief flirtation with the bowl cut, hers being eerily similar in nature to the one sported by Backstreet Boys' Nick Carter back in the Nineties, when Miley was just a child. And who could forget Justin Bieber, who burst onto the scene in 2007 with a sweepy bowl cut so beloved by his fans that he broke hearts around the world when he later chopped it off. Other brave stars to have tried the style on for size over the years include Rihanna, Kelis, Jessie J, Agnes Deyn and Kelly Osbourne. What's more, says Mr Nobbs, another Nineties style is also becoming increasingly popular, although 'the classic curtains style' still has some way to go before it hits the heights of the bowl cut. 'We've seen a bit of a resurgence from that Nineties style as well,' he explains. 'The classic curtains have been spotted recently on the likes of Liam Hemsworth, Zayn Malik and Johnny Depp as well.' Lena Dunham surprised her fans last year when she unveiled her own platinum blonde version on Instagram, stating, 'Change is good' Agyness Deyn was famed for her raven version  in 2010 . Rihanna added a dash of dark to her blonde bowl cut in 2010 . Jessie J went for a very blunt version in early 2014 and American Boy singer Estelle added a red tint to hers .
