To help guide you, Shortall has put together a five-step guide that will take you from boring barnet to hipster haircut. Now you know everything you need to about the mullet, it’s time to learn how to cut and style a mullet for yourself. Steve Granitz How to Cut a Mullet Hairstyle In the late 80s and early 90s sporting legends like Diego Maradona and, a little closer to home, Chris Waddle both thought nothing of wearing the business up front, party at the back. In the 70s, David Bowie, Rod Stewart, Mick Jagger and Wings-era Paul McCartney all sported the hairstyle, before passing the baton onto film stars such as Patrick Swayze in Dirty Dancing and Kiefer Sutherland in The Lost Boys, who both made an extreme version of the mullet look cool. It may have taken the Beastie Boys to popularise the term, but the haircut was having it’s heyday decades before that. David Bowie, Dirty Dancing and Diego Maradona: The Mullet's Heyday That’s because according to the Oxford English Dictionary, the term mullet was coined, or at least popularised, by the hip hop group the Beastie Boys in their 1994 song Mullethead. Interestingly though, had you have said to any of those, ‘nice mullet, mate’, in any language, they wouldn’t have known what you were talking about. Throughout history they’ve been sported by Greek luminaries, Ancient Roman chariot racers and Hittite warriors – even former US President Benjamin Franklin was known to favour the look. If you’re considering rocking a mullet then you’re in good company.
