Modern versions blend rather than disconnect: the top and sides are cut short and the length at the back is joined to them through graduation over the occipital bone, so the change happens gradually rather than in a step. The tail usually sits somewhere between the nape and the collar. Texture spray keeps the back from lying flat against the neck. The sides need attention long before the length does.

Suitsoval, round face shapes. Weight sits at the crown and the back while the sides are taken in, so nothing widens the cheek and the height is the only line the cut adds.
Hair typemedium density, thick, straight, wavy. The back needs enough weight to hang as a distinct length rather than trailing into wisps, and some texture in the hair helps the graduation blend.
UpkeepSides and top every four to six weeks while the back just grows, and daily styling is little more than texture spray through the length.

Questions about Mullet

Who does the Mullet suit?

It works best on oval, round face shapes. Weight sits at the crown and the back while the sides are taken in, so nothing widens the cheek and the height is the only line the cut adds.

Does the Mullet work on my hair type?

Best on medium density, thick, straight, wavy hair. The back needs enough weight to hang as a distinct length rather than trailing into wisps, and some texture in the hair helps the graduation blend.

How much upkeep does a Mullet need?

Sides and top every four to six weeks while the back just grows, and daily styling is little more than texture spray through the length.
