Eponymous hairstyle

An eponymous hairstyle is a special kind of hairstyle that is named after a famous person who made the style popular. This means that the hairstyle is associated with the person who made it popular, and it is usually named after that person.

For example:

- The "Bob" hairstyle is named after a woman named Bob who made the style popular in the 1920s.
- The "Faux Hawk" hairstyle is named after the Mohawk hairstyle because it looks like a shorter version of the Mohawk.

So, if you hear someone talking about an eponymous hairstyle, they are referring to a hairstyle that is named after a person who made it famous. It's like naming a sandwich after your favorite celebrity - it's the same idea, but with a hairstyle instead of a sandwich.
