So fess up. Who’s had the “mullet” haircut. I had it for most of my junior high years, and I’m embarrassed to admit, it even made a comeback my senior year. I can’t be the only one. Guys, girls. Don’t let me down. I know some other Dopers had or still have this fantastic coiffure.
I have to admit it because my senior picture is sporting not only a mullet but a bleach blonde mullet. It was the easiest hairstyle I ever had the pleasure of taking care of.
I also think it looks rediculous on 30-something moms like myself. (And unfortunately I HAVE seen this very thing.) I did not know there was a name for such a do. Thank you for sharing.
It’s also known as “Hockey Hair,” though I prefer “mullet.” And I think every guy who wasn’t sporting a proper preppie 'do was wearing a mullet when I was in high school.
I had a mullet when I was 8. I wanted to look like Roxette, ya know, the song from Pretty Woman, “It Must Have Been Love, but it’s over know…must have been good, but I lost it somehow.” She had a bleached blonde mullet, spiky on top. Mine was light brown.
MY goodness. All the pictures have been destroyed, so if anyone asks, it NEVER happened!
To go along with the Camaro as absolutely necessary accesories to the Mullet --called guido hair in my high school (we were not politically correct, so sue us)-- a muscle tee and a pack of Marlboros.
Newp. Mine was ALL short … half an inch long on top at the longest, and maybe a total of an inch long in back, cut in defiance of my monst-- er, mother always demanding the stylist to cut it her way. First time the monster turned her back, I hacked it all off.
My mom made me get one in ninth grade (1985). It was part of her campaign to make me unattractive, so guys wouldn’t like me and I wouldn’t get pregnant. I finally went to a salon in the mall and got a short cut: up to the hairline in back and on the sides, with some length on top to spike. She blew a gasket, of course, but there was nothing she could do. Thank you, Hair Performers.
