Hey, I'm Kev. I'm really really really curious to find out what a 'mullet' is? Apparently, there are things such as 'mullet witch hunts' and 'mullet fever' etc etc because I hear people on this board talking about the fuss on having mullets or being mistaken for a mullet all the time... All I need to know is WHAT EXACTLY DOES IT LOOK LIKE and WHAT THE HECK IS THE FUSS ABOUT GUYS WITH MULLETS? Phew, got that out of my chest. Thanks a bunch!
Love,
Kev
PS: If you're wondering why I don't know, it might be because I don't live in the US.
Basically, long hair only in the back. Short on the front and sides.
A lot of ignorant people confuse general longhaired men as having mullets. Happens a lot when the hair is pushed behind the ears so it initially appears to be a mullet. It's seen a lot on redneck people, so it's not exactly a "good" haircut to have.
Why anyone would want one is beyond me.

A mullet is when the hair is long in back and short on the
side and front. Had one many years ago. Big mistake.
Now matter how I would explain it to hair care professionals they
could never get it through their thick skulls. Even when I
would give them exact measurements for everything they could
not grasp the concept. Finally gave up and came to the conclusion
that these hair care professionls were too stupid to
work on my hair.
The first time I had one my hair was 1/2" long on the top and side,
about 20" long in the back. After many attempts I finally gave up
trying to get hair care professionals to grasp what I wanted them
to do with my hair.
Do yourself a favor, screw the mullet. Just let your hair grow.
Hair care professionals were to stupid to grasp the concept even
though it was popular at the time in our area.
A mullet is a cheezy attempt at having long hair.
I say cheezy because the hair tends to be short enough (on a good mullet) to stand up straight by itself (depending on curl factor) except for a little fluffy tail in back that they think is long hair...but the mullet wearer keeps getting haircuts to keep the short hair short while claiming to be growing the back out but without doing anything to really care for it because the short hair on top needs no special care. And it never seems to get any longer.
It's really a mindset matter. Mullets want something more than short hair but haven't really made up their mind to grow long hair (or can't get to far beyond community standards...whatever that is). So you get this mutated creation that is somewhere between the two.
I noticed that the soccer team in college all had mullets. For some reason it seems to appeal (and then spread) to sports teams that are a tiny bit non-mainstream (in this country). A strange balance between practicality and rebellion. Also, factory workers or blue collar in general have adopted it (at least the partiers...of which there are many), and again it spreads amongst them like a disease. Someone mentioned rednecks, sure, anyone who kind of grows it but doesn't think too much about it.
I think that what people find most disturbing about it is the degree of contrast between the short top and the "longer" back...there is just no continuity or seeming coherent reason to it. Rather it seems to speak of indecision and uncertainty.
Hope this helps. ; )
What is a Mullet? Why, a Mullet is a gift my friend. its like christmas on your head, all year long. those who sport it know, its business in the front, and a party in the back!

supercuts, justacut, walmart salons, etc can help you in your quest.

It's just something to mock and ridicule.
