[Lifestyle] Gen Z guys are crazy about the mini mullet — and these celebs are making ‘cheeky’ cut cool again

[-Sn!PeR-]

 

This controversial style is making the cut for the hottest hairstyle of the year.

The mini mullet — a short, textured style described as having a “’70s/’80s rockstar vibe” — is shaping up to be one of the most po[CENSORED]r haircuts among the hunks of Hollywood and their Gen Z admirers on social media.

Paul Mescal — a master of minis from mullets to shorts — has adopted the more subdued version of the “business in the front, party in the back” look as part of his signature style.

 

Meanwhile, actors Jacob Elordi and Austin Butler have started rocking the cut, and Harry Styles’ new summer look has drummed up buzz among fans who swooned over his tresses.

In Tinseltown, the proliferation of the updated mullet — a traditionally controversial and oft-ridiculed cut once associated with a rebellious edginess — has spurred a larger trend at barbershops around the world, as customers clamor for the hottest new ‘do.

 

In the UK, Club 13 owner Ryan Lewis told The Independent that one-third of his clients request much-maligned mullets, while Bristol barber James Doyle has seen the style spread beyond “musicians and creatives” to accountants and beyond.

 

 

In addition to the cool factor of a mini mullet, the style is also po[CENSORED]r among the ladies.

One anonymous woman, who was named under the pseudonym Mia, said she’s a fan of “guys with mullets,” telling GQ they’re “funny and naughty.”

“A mullet kinda says that they’re confident, and down with the times. And probably fun. And probably a bit cheeky,” 27-year-old Sally, who declined to provide her last name, told the outlet.

Meanwhile, 26-year-old Megan, who did not provide her last name to GQ, said a mullet is a “signpost that you’re not … well, basic.”

The po[CENSORED]rity of the cut has even tempted celebrity hairstylist Halley Brisker to try it himself, although he’s refrained.
