Ah, the mullet! This iconic hair style has been turning heads (and skeptical glances 😏) since the 80s. Long relegated to the ranks of forgotten hairstyles, the mullet is now making a comeback with panache 🎉, from trendy festivals to red carpets 🌟. But why this revival? And above all, why should you consider adopting the mullet? Spoiler: it involves fun, rock 🎸, and a little bit of Kevin. 😉
A haircut that leaves no one indifferent
What exactly is the mullet? For the uninitiated, it's the famous "front party, back business", a haircut divided into two stages:
-
Short on top,
-
Long behind.
It’s a hairstyle that exudes rock ‘n’ roll and the grunge attitude of years gone by. Popularized by iconic figures like David Bowie and more recently Miley Cyrus, the mullet cut transcends ages and genders. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this hairstyle is unisex!
The turbulent history of the mullet cut
Before we get into the nitty-gritty, let's take a little trip down memory lane. The mullet haircut dates back to the '70s, but it was in the '80s that it really exploded.
The 80s: The Golden Age
It was the era of denim jackets, sunglasses, and big hair. The mullet was the signature style of rebels, rockers, and Jackys in need of a thrill. Kevin had adopted it to impress Stacy at karaoke nights.
The 90s-2000s: The descent into hell
Alas, all good things must come to an end. The mullet fell out of favor, mocked in the media and associated with a "redneck" style. Mullets were replaced by more sober cuts. Stacy, disappointed, left Kevin, who converted to hair misadventures.
Today: The revival
The 2020s saw the mullet make a comeback. Why? Because all things vintage are coming back into fashion. Music festivals, the TikTok generation, and stars like Miley Cyrus and Zendaya have given this quintessential grunge hairstyle its rightful place. Today, it's a trendy and bold choice.
Why adopt the mullet cut?
If you are still hesitant to take the plunge, here are some arguments that might convince you:
-
A unique style: You will never go unnoticed. With a mullet cut, every entrance becomes an event.
-
Versatility: Short in front for freshness, long in back for attitude.
-
A return to rock: Because “rock hair” and “mullet” are synonymous.
-
Personalization: Curly, straight, wavy, pixie... the mullet cut can adapt to all hair types.
And as Jacky would say, "The mullet is like a cold beer: it doesn't please everyone, but those who love it can't live without it! 🍻"
The Different Styles of Mullet Haircuts
For those who want to get started, here are some inspirations:
1. The classic mullet
The original mullet: short on top, long in the back. Ideal for purists.
2. The grunge mullet
Add a touch of tapered and casual. Perfect for a Kurt Cobain look.
3. The pixie mullet
For women, a short cut in the front and slightly wavy lengths in the back. Stacy loves it.
4. The rock mullet
Lightly crimped hair, wild look. Think Joan Jett or Billy Ray Cyrus.
5. The modernized mullet
A softer version, with smooth transitions between short and long. Ideal for Kevin who wants to impress his colleagues.
How to maintain your mullet cut?
Having a mullet haircut requires a little maintenance. Here are some tips:
-
Hydrate your hair: Use a hair mask to keep your lengths healthy.
-
Go to the hairdresser: Get regular touch-ups to keep in shape.
-
Experiment: Try different colors or styles (a pink mullet, why not?).
