Business in the front, party in the back! Mullets are coming back into style. Should they stay or should they go back to the past?

In recent months we have seen a return of the infamous mullet hairstyle. While many do not want to see the return of the mullet many are thrilled to see this hairstyle return. But it does beg the question, Is it worth the daily slander and fun poking? Many would say no but I would disagree, The mullet is one of the best hairstyles ever. It allows for breathing room around your ears but a beautifully long flow in the back. The mullet is a hairstyle which features long, curly hair on the top of the head and around the back but a shaved area around the ears. The mullet originated in the 1980’s and when it did it went absolutely gangbusters. The mullet also made appearances in major stars like David Bowie, Zendaya, Billy Ray Cyrus, Hulk Hogan and even Ellen DeGenerous! The Mullet has taken on many looks and forms over the years. In the 80’s the mullet was known for its straight, long flow but recently it’s taken form in a curlier thicker version. This change could be due to stars like Patrick Mahomes who is known for his curly brown hair that inspires others to curl their mullets.

Iabsolutely seriously strongly very much despise mullets. I honestly don’t know how to tell you how much I despise them. The mullets hairstyle originating in the 80’s didn’t look good then, so why would it look good now? Not even David Spade in the movie Dirt made my hatred for mullets disappear. As much respect I have for stars who had this hairstyle, especially David Spade, the moment I saw them in a mullet I had to promise myself that it did not change anything. And sure, these actors and the kids at Liberty North are good people and good at what they do, but when did any of those things require them to have probably the worst haircut in history? I mean out of all the styles in the 80s, why this one? I believe that those of you with mullets need to question your choices in style. Maybe y’all just had clouded judgment and wanted to be cool like the tiktok stars or maybe your hairdresser messed up the haircut. But hey, mullets can be cut!
