So you’ve always been interested in the mullet haircut, and who could blame you? It’s better known as the “Business at the front, party in the back” haircut. The general vibe is a short cut on the sides with a longer length on top. The hair at the back is also long and flows down into the well-known classic ‘tail’. However, these particular men’s haircuts have a surprising amount of variations to choose from, we’re here to break them down for you. 

1. Modern Mullet Haircut

If the mullet has always interested you but you worry it’s a little too 80s, it’s your lucky day, because the mullet is back and bigger than ever. Even with the modern reboot, there’s a chance that the mullet your favorite celebrity rocked back in the day is relevant again. The new modern mullet has a long length on the top and back and the sides are slightly faded up, without too much of a tail.

2. Short Mullet Haircut

Mullets don’t always have to involve long hairstyles. This look is subtle, there’s a simple fade between the long hair on the top and a short haircut on the sides with just a hint of an elongation towards the tail. 

3. Shag Mullet Haircut

The shag mullet is “out there” that’s for sure. It’s messy and often roughly styled with wax or men’s pomade, the top and sides are long with a sort of bowl cut but the back is left long, but still messy, so it can touch the shoulders. 

4. Takuache Mullet Haircut

For this sleek look, hair around the forehead and face is combed forwards into a sharp line across the forehead and the hair on the side (before the ears) has a clean skin fade. The hair behind the ears and down the back is left long and straight.

5. 80s Mullet Haircut

This is the “inspired by dad” mullet. The hair on top is left long and shaggy and the sides are shaved down to the skin and blended into the top. The back is usually excessively long and often has a curly hairstyle look.
