A mullet haircut is a medium-length haircut for men characterized by long hair at the front or top and long strands of hair towards the back of the head. This can simply be explained as business at the front and party at the back.
Modern mullet haircuts for men have made a great impact in the fashion world. Despite the fact that they are an improvement of the traditional mullets, they stand out when styled and maintained appropriately.
Originally, it was a hairstyle rocked in the 90s but has resurfaced in the modern days with a few added features and customizations. Modern mullets are paired with short or faded sides to give you a coeval look.
The other feature displayed in modern mullets is that they can be made on any type of hair be it curly, straight, or wavy. Here are some of the modern types of mullet haircut styles.
Hipster Mullet
This haircut combines medium-sized hair at the top with plenty of big hair strands curling at the middle of the head as well as a thick combined tail at the back. Hipster mullets look great with a dark shade of hard but they do not work with all head shapes.
Spiky and Wavy Mullet
This is a classic type of mullet. The hair at the top is combed such that it has spiky ends while the hair at the back of the head is curled or made wavy to give the whole style a sleek look.
Kentucky Waterfall
This mullet haircut does not have shaved sides but rather all the hair is combed towards the back of the head. Just as the name suggests, a Kentucky mullet haircut forms the shape of a waterfall at the back of the head. When paired with a brown hair shade, it gives you the perfect sexy look.
Baseball Mullet
This mullet is cut into a shape such that it maximizes the effect of a baseball cap. The hair at the top is trimmed to minimum length while the hair at the back is left to hang loosely when you put on a baseball hat.
Side Part Mullet
This type of mullet haircut has medium shaved hair at the top part on the sides such that hair falls on either side of the head. One side of the head is shaved to a medium length while the other is partly covered by the partitioned top hair.
Mohawk Mullet
This type of mullet is where the hair on the sides is shaved towards the center of the head. The thin-shaped hair left in the middle can be either combed neat or left spiky according to your preferred look.
Retro Pomp
This mullet combines with a waxed beard and a shiny pompadour. It is a perfect mullet style for a casual or official occasion. Retro pomp is where the hair is left to join with the sideburns then trimmed to a medium and then the hair is left to be longer at the neck area.
Rockabilly Mullet
This type of mullet is where the hair at the top is combed toile on one side of the head from the top to the back of the head. The sides can be entirely shaved or trimmed into the desired hair length. The pomp that forms at the top of the head is combed neat and oiled to give it a shiny finishing.
Messy Pomp Mullet
Most pomp mullets are combined with medium or completely shaved sides and neatly combed. However, messy pomp is where the hair at the top is layered on each other but left to be longer at the neck area.
Hockey Mullet Haircut
This style is usually similar to Mohawk mullet. However, the only difference is that a hockey mullet has faded sideburns. The hair at the back is left to hang loosely like a waterfall giving you an attractive look.
A hockey mullet haircut is a modification of a traditional mullet the only difference being the completely shaved sides and the faded sideburns. This mullet haircut works for all types of hair be it curly straight or wavy and all head shapes.
