Mullet Haircut Is Back In Fashion - JuvaBun

Along with the 80s fashion trends like high-waisted jeans and sports jackets, the mega-popular haircuts of those years are returning. One of mullet haircuts is cheeky and a little odd from the point of view of modern fashionistas.

Modern mullet hairstyle in the style of 80s stars. It is entirely impossible to imagine David Bowie, Phil Collins, or Paul McCartney with a different hairstyle; it became their calling card. Today, many Hollywood stars have adopted this slightly cheeky look. A mullet is a bit like a cascade, but the main difference is a sharp transition in the length of the strands. This haircut is also recommended for more mature women after 40 years because it looks like a business one in front and an evening one in the back. The temporal and anterior part is cut short in mullet haircut, as is the crown, and the posterior part is long. A graduation technique is used at the crown of the head, which allows you to add volume to the hairstyle. The main advantage of mullet is the ease of styling and an increase in hair density.

The mullet hairstyle appeared much earlier and also in the male variation. According to history, in the 19th century, this hairstyle was worn by English fishermen to protect the neck from the cold. The haircut reminds a little of the silhouette of a fish thanks to the short-cropped strands in the parietal zone, in front and on the sides (up to the ear), and a long tail in the back.

If the idea of ​​wearing a fish on your head disgusts you, just take a look at the photo of Kristen Stewart in the image of one of the main characters of the film The Runaways, she had to not only change her hair color but also make a ragged mullet haircut.

Of course, modern mullet is no longer as shocking as their counterparts from the 80s. But they still attract attention and differ from the classic haircuts.
