Hair cut gray mullet. This silhouette, once a hallmark of 70s and 80s fashion, has staged a bold comeback in today’s men’s grooming scene. Known for the motto Business in the front, party in the back, the style blends a precise shortness on the sides and the front with a longer, flowing back.

The mullet carries a rich history, starting with its early popularity among rock musicians and later embraced by celebrities and athletes. While some view it as a relic of past trends, the mullet has proven remarkably adaptable, continuing to influence contemporary men’s style.

The modern interpretation features a shorter front and sides, often achieved with fade techniques to add a contemporary edge. Yet the defining element remains the longer length at the nape, which can vary from a few centimeters to a more pronounced tail. Although traditionally worn with a casual vibe, current variants allow for a polished, structured presentation that fits a range of occasions.

INFORMATION

To select the ideal mullet, considerations such as face shape, hair texture, and personal style should guide the decision. Here are practical tips:

  • Oval or rectangular faces pair well with a mullet, as the cut accentuates the chin and balances proportions.
  • Hair texture. The mullet adapts to straight, wavy, and curly hair, with curls offering additional back volume.
  • Personalization. The mullet is not a single template. Length, texture, and details like bangs or layered sections can be customized for a unique look.

Regular salon visits help maintain the shape and style of the cut. Styling products such as wax or pomade can support control over longer back sections, preserving the overall silhouette.

The mullet also mirrors popular culture, with many celebrities and public figures adopting variations of the cut. This reflects its versatility and ongoing relevance as a modern, expressive hairstyle.
