What is a Mullet Haircut
♫ Saturday, March 5th, 2011There 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.
