what do you think about mullets?

[yldchyld]

Just curious. I live in the Land of Mullets.

It's not a style I'd wear, but I don't really have an opinion on how other people wear their hair.

Mullets scare the bejeezus out of me .

I actually lived in Japan for a year, and ALL of my female classmates had the neo-mullet, (save like, three. And one of those had a bob). I was too scared to got to the hairdresser all year there because I was afraid that communication issues would cause me to wind up with one. That and people have no idea how to handle wurly hair there.

What's your take on 'em?

ETA: Mind you, if a friend or family member or a random stranger had one, I wouldn't give my opinion unless directly asked for my honest opinion. Different strokes for different folks.

I believe they have outlived their era. Like baggy jeans. I hate them actually... I think because when you see them here, the hair in the back is all fried and nasty. Or frizzy and uneven.

But, I reckon I am not the one wearing it...so it's one of those times I would say to my friends
"Is it wrong that I hate mullets?"

and then we would have a long discussion/debate on not judging people by their looks..etc.

Mullets are like the worst of both worlds. Not only do you have a lot of inconvenient hair you either have to suffer through in the heat/braid or something and keep out of your way, but you don't really reap all the ingrained "OH MY GOD THAT PERSON HAS LONG PRETTY HAIR, THEY LOOK HEALTHY AND INTERESTING" reaction you get from people just liking your appearance.

Definitely not a style I'd choose for myself. I quite liked Bowie's mullet though.

David Bowie could wear a dead chicken on his head, a trout on each foot and a potato sack and still look good.

I'm personally not a big mullet fan.

That said I saw a guy once with a curly uber mullet, looked like he still had his from the 80s... it was amazing!

I certainly would not wear it. And I wouldn't be too happe if DH decided to wear his hair like that.... As for other people - if they are happy with it, let them wear it.

I personally think mullets have gotten a bad rap. While certain types just look bad imo - especially when the back is super long and the front is very short - sterotypical 'rocker' or hillbilly mullet, I guess?

However, there were many mullets I really liked on certain people (before they were called mullets - hee hee, am I revealing my age?) like those worn by John Taylor of Duran Duran, Bono from U2, and others I can't think of right now.

I suppose I had one myself once, when they were popular for girls for a short while around 1985 I think? Many girls were very cute with them, though I much prefer long hair now.

Business in the front and party in the back?! Whoooo hooo!
No on the serious side, IMO mullets are just not right somehow. When billy ray cyrus had one it was cool though!
