The rise of the mullet haircut! It’s coming back in style!

I can’t say that I ever had a mullet, I much preferred the “Dorothy Hamill” haircut.  You couldn’t go anywhere in the 80’s without seeing a mullet haircut on someone.  They were everywhere!!!  Boys, girls, teachers, parents…just about everyone had a mullet!  The thing is, I’ve been through this style already…do I really want to relive it??  What’s old is new again!

Back In the ’80s, I don’t even know what we called it..I don’t think I heard it called a mullet until I was older.  I don’t even know if we even called it a mullet. I just remember feathering our hair and when my hair feathered awesome (as i got older and grew out of the Dorothy Hamill) I felt fabulous!!  My sides were chopped and layered so I’d take my curling brush and aqua net hair spray and spray till the ozone had a hole in it!

I remember the feathered look from the Farrah Fawcett poster in the bathroom at my Uncle’s Automotive business.  I was young and thought that look was so glamorous.  I guess people took it a step further and incorporated a mullet with feathering!

It’s the ole famous joke…business-in-the-front-party-in the back that can be achieved now!  People are embracing this style for real and I’m not sure if I really want this style to come back!  I did know some people who could rock a mullet!

On the one hand, it’s nostalgic for sure. I mean, who didn’t have a crush on someone from the ’80s with the haircut?  I mean, it was hard not to love AC Slater for his beautiful locks of love!  Look at Billy Ray Cyrus!  Totally rocked the look even into the early 90’s!

Another advantage to the hair do is the mullet offers some variety too!  You can still sport a pony tail, it’s a great way to keep your hair off your neck on a scorching day or out of your face while you work!

Although many people just aren’t feeling the look and think it should go away and never come back!  Because of popular shows like Stranger Things and the Goldbergs, the haircut is rising from the fashion dead!

But just look at these contemporary mullets!  Studs here!

There is even an Instagram page dedicated to mullets! I mean, who am I to judge…it’s fabulous in their own way!

I mean seriously, There is a rising country music artist named Morgan Wallen!  He has single handed brought back the mullet!  We love Morgan and he looks FABULOUS!!

 

The thing is, I’ve been through this style already…do I really want to relive it??
