Subject: Please help! What is the Karate Kid hairstlye called?

This is kinda embarrassing for me to ask this, because I grew up in the 80s and I should know this, but I don't. Well, I was kinda young at the time though. Anyway I've always wondered what this young men's hairstyle was that is from around the early-mid 80s. I think it was especially popular in 1982-'85.ÂÂ
I don't know what to call it, but all the bad guys from The Karate Kid had some variation of this haircut. It was a cheesy style that the main bad guy Johnny had, and the sympathetic bad guy Bobby had a different fluffy permed style, but it was also very popular around then. I think Alex P. Keaton sported this hairdo during the first half of Family Ties, and I think the guys in Duran Duran had it. You guys that went to high school or colllege in the early-mid 80s know exactly what I'm talking about! I believe it went out of style around 1986.ÂÂ
So tell me what to call it besides, "the Karate Kid haircut".  ;)ÂÂ
