When it comes to hairstyles, none are as divided as the mullet. Business in the front, party in the back—right? Well, like it or not, the mullet is coming back in a major way and according to Cosmetify, it’s the most-searched hairstyle of 2021. The mullet has over 15.5 mullion searches. We can’t believe it!
The mullet was made cool by stars in the ’70s like David Bowie. But since then, it hasn’t been as popular. The hairstyle is all about playing up layers and texture. And coming out of lockdown, the mullet is perfect for embracing the long back and sides we haven’t been able to get cut.
Even celebrities like Miley Cyrus, Zendaya, Billie Eilish, Kesha, Maisie Williams, and Barbie Ferreira have tried out the hairstyle that was once rocked by Jane Fonda and Stevie Nicks.
The 2021 mullet has gotten a Gen Z makeover as it’s more tapered and softer than the ones we’re used to seeing. It’s still giving us major retro vibes. The look is bold, daring, and a bit rebellious, so if you’re wanting to make a statement, mullets are the way to go. The key to the haircut is having the hair longer in the back with lots of texture, especially on top.
