The mullet is back, and today’s take on the short-up-top, long-in-the-back style might just persuade even the staunchest objector to try it out. How do we know this? Well, a high proportion of models and celebs are rocking this style.
What Is A Mullet Haircut?
The female mullet is the modern, choppy variation of the classic ’80s style. The cut stays true to its roots with short bangs, but the transition to a longer back is not as extreme. The cut uses choppy layers to gradually blend the bangs into a longer style in the back, similar to a shag.

When Did Mullet Appear?
The mullet haircut goes back on time to prehistoric people when they realized how practical it was to cut the fringe to keep the hair out of their faces while keeping the length at their back to keep the neck warm and protected from the rain. It wasn’t until the ‘70s when the haircut got really popular, with Rockstar David Bowie making the lead with the amazing orange mullet we all remember.
The ’80s was the golden age of the mullet; the haircut was an absolute trend and loved by most people considering it cool and fashionable. In the ’90s the trend started to fizzle. After a few years of trying to make its way back, the mullet haircut has adapted to the 21st century so that everyone can rock this fantastic haircut.

What Is The Latest Version Of Mullet?
The latest version of the mullet is much softer, and the variance in length isn’t as stark, hence its new moniker, the short mullet, or “shullet.” (The nickname also applies to the resemblance of a cross between a shag and a mullet.) It can suit poker-straight hair as well as curly hair. The key to this style is ensuring that the cut is more subtle and softness around the face, and the best face shapes for it are square and oval ones.
