Mullet haircuts to try on your own photo

Short at the front, longer at the back, blended in between.

Overview

A mullet keeps the front and sides short and lets the back grow longer. The 2020s version, often called the modern mullet (or "mod mullet"), is softer than the 80s cut: the top is textured, the sides are usually tapered or faded, and the back is layered so the front and back read as one shape. How strong the contrast is decides the look, from a subtle short mullet to a full country mullet. Most face shapes can wear one if the silhouette is balanced, and hair type matters more than face shape.

Mullet styles and who they suit

Every mullet here is in the try-on list above.

Men's mullets

Modern mullet
Textured top, tapered sides and a layered back; the easiest version to wear every day.
Classic 80s mullet
Short top and sides with a clearly longer back; a bold, retro look for straight hair.
Short mullet
Only an inch or two of extra length at the nape; a safe first mullet that grows out easily.
Burst fade mullet
The fade curves around the ear and leaves the back long; the most requested pairing right now.
Taper mullet
A low taper keeps the sides neat but not shaved, which reads better in an office.
Curly mullet
Curls give the back natural volume; keep it shorter so it does not puff out.
Wolf cut mullet
Heavy shag layers on top and at the back; best on wavy hair.
Mohawk mullet
A strip of length down the middle that runs into the long back, with faded sides.
Korean mullet
Soft fringe, covered ears and a gentle tail; needs thick, straight hair.

Women's mullets

Soft mullet
Shaggy layers and a fringe with a longer back; a gentle way into the cut.
Curly mullet
Short curls on top, longer curls at the back; shows off natural texture.
Shaggy wolf mullet
Choppy layers and curtain bangs with length past the collar.

Mullet mistakes to avoid

•A hard step between the top and the back with no blending, which looks like two haircuts
•A long back on very fine hair, which turns stringy; keep it shorter and layered
•Skipping trims: the back and the faded sides grow out faster than you think
•A high skin fade on a long, narrow face, which makes it look longer
•Heavy wet-look gel on a textured mullet; matte paste or sea-salt spray works better
