Is the Mullet making a comeback?

[Mick P]

I am fortunate in having a good head of hair that is even more full than your average teenager.

When we were trapped over in Spain last year, we suffered a much tougher lock down than of that in the UK and I had to let my hair grow. Mrs Mick managed to give me a trim every month but she played safe by leaving it longer than normal.

She suffered a stroke in December which meant she couldn't do the haircut so I once again let it grow until the glorious day of May 17th when I went for my first haircut in over a year. That haircut was by appointment only under strict conditions, not a particularly pleasant experience.

When I went in for the haircut, my hair was almost identical to Tony Blairs just before his haircut. It wasn't quite a mullet but I did look like William Hartnell who played the first Doctor Who. I did come out well shorn.

Since then I have noticed more men (of all ages) leaving their hair long and I am beginning to wonder if the fashion of crew cuts and similar styles are now over.

I am even tempted to let mine grow again.

Anyone here letting theirs grow?

I noticed the NZ cricketer Colin de Grandhomme sporting an outrageous mullet the other day in the test match.

I hope that style doesn't return.

I do hope not! A style only suitable for white supremacists in Hicksville American towns coupled with wife beater vests.

I think you'll find that crew cuts etc are not so much a style choice as a necessity for some of us. The Mullet returning is bad enough, but nobody wants to see the return of the Bobby Charlton

Mullet Mick has a ring about it

I have a thick head of hair - I've kept it longer compared to pre-Covid, but no way would I sport a mullet.

Since the first lockdown, I am now sporting a self-inflicted 'buzz cut'.

Grade 4 all over and a No 3 on the back and sides.
Despite having 15 months to practice my double-mirror technique for cutting around my ears/neck, I still end up looking like a cross between a US Marine and Forrest Gump. Rather that than a mullet though.

Frank Doberman springs to mind!

[Hood]

No Mullet there.

[Mick P]

Point taken, I will no longer raise any more topics because I don't want to upset you so much as you feel that is necessary.

[Neil.C]

Oh Gawd, it seems like it may be a thing again!

Flashbacks to Chris Waddle - mullet king!

Or as Americans say - business in the front, party in the back.

This is about a wig but applies equally to a mullet I believe (NSFW):

Very funny and so true to our sense of humour.

[Pitfitter]

Many rugby teams seem to have a least one player sporting a mullet, never sure if it’s through choice or they drew the short straw.

Business up front and party at the back!
