What is a Mullet Haircut

Saturday, March 5th, 2011

There are very few haircuts that have been given as much attention as the mullet. This once popular hairstyle, however, has experienced a small resurgence in some communities around the world, but is still largely unpopular. Today, this specific style is at the root of many jokes and there have even been books, calendars, and websites dedicated to it. If you have a mullet, it means that your hair is short at the front, short on the sides, and longer in the back. In some cases, the front may be somewhat longer than the sides. However, the back always contains the longest hair.

The first people to have mullets actually had them back in the 1960s. However, this was not the era in which the hairstyle really took off. The 1980s were definitely the time of the mullet. The mullets that were around in the 80s were markedly bigger than other mullets. These mullets featured very long hair in the back and the hair at the front of the head was also quite long. Many people would dye their mullets and tease the front so that it would stick straight up. Many people say that this was the ear of the bouffant mullet.

The mullet was also around in the 1990s. During this time, it was toned down, but still featured very long hair in the back. The most popular mullet of this time was the tail mullet, which featured a tail at the back, which was sometimes curled or permed. Many famous people have had mullets. Some of these people include Tom Jones, David Bowie, and Billy Ray Cyrus. Today, some famous people still have mullets, including both men and women. However, these mullets are a little different from the mullets of the past and do not include shaved down sides.

Maintaining Dreadlocks For a Stylish Image

Tuesday, September 7th, 2010

More people are choosing to dreadlock their hair. It is a low maintenance hairstyle as well as a statement. Dreadlocks create a certain image. If you want to keep them looking nice then it is important that you understand the best methods for maintaining dreadlocks. It doesn’t involve much effort to keep them in good condition.

First of all it is important to continue to wash you hair. Just because you have dreads doesn’t mean you should stop cleaning your hair. If you wash your dreads at least once every week it will stop any nasty smells developing. It is best to use a shampoo that is natural and doesn’t leave any soapy deposits behind as otherwise the residue can loosen the dreads. You may notice that over time some dreads begin to grow out. This is because the new hair next to the roots is not dreaded. To fix this problem you should rub and twist these new lengths of hair every couple of weeks. If you place the un-dreaded hair in between your hands and rub gently until the strands start to knot you will have much tighter dreads.

Many people choose to use wax to maintain their dreads. This also helps to give the hair some nutrients. There are various types of waxes that you can buy, it may be best to choose a product that has been specially designed for maintaining dreads. You can add wax to your hair around once a month. Only a small quantity needs to be applied to the areas of dreads that are becoming loose. Make sure you squeeze and press the wax into the dread rather than just leaving a big globule of wax stuck to the outside. If you have dark hair then wax deposits may be more visible, to fix this you can blow dry your dreads to melt the wax deep into the locks.
