AMERICAN men are ready for mullets to make an official comeback, according to new research.
A recent survey found that 20 percent of men in the US said they would pick the mullet to come back into fashion out of the popular hairstyles from bygone decades.
It was followed by 15 percent hoping for the return of "curtain bangs" and 10 percent who want the 2010s undercut to come back.
Yet even those polled admit that the infamous bi-level look isn’t for everyone.
In a ranking of various hair trends, respondents found undercuts, curtain bangs, and the ‘00s “shag” haircut to be more universally flattering hairdos.
Even though 39 percent of men have dabbled in adding highlights to their hair — making it the most popular color technique among those polled — it was also the least-liked hair trend of the entire survey.
It ranked just under the infamous ”frosted tips” look.
It’s not surprising that men have tried out some fads they ended up hating later.
More than half—55 percent—admitted they want to change up their look but are afraid to try something new.
Another 47 percent don’t know what hairstyles would look good on them.
However, of the two-thirds of men who’ve experimented with a hair trend they were later embarrassed by, only a third say they regretted it afterward.
Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Sport Clips Haircuts, the survey of 2,000 men revealed that they are experiencing a lot of similarly intense emotions about their post-pandemic haircut.
Not surprisingly, “relief” topped the list for 36 percent of men, while 32 percent also described themselves as “excited.”
During the shutdowns and social distancing measures of the COVID-19 pandemic, 75 percent of men chose to forgo professional hair maintenance.
One in four men instead tried cutting their hair — although 55 percent don’t think they do a good job at self-cuts.
Another 27 percent enlisted the help of a friend or family member.
And 23 percent of men simply let their hair grow out, which may be why long-haired heartthrobs like Aquaman star Jason Momoa and singing sensation Harry Styles dominated the survey’s list of biggest celebrity hair inspirations.
“While we’re seeing a lot of longer hairstyles in our stores, the truth is that styling men's hair, no matter the length, can be more complicated than it may seem,” said Stacia Kelley, Sport Clips’ artistic director and stylist.
Here are my two favorites for summer:
lemmy never had no stinking mullet.
Business in the front, party in the back.
I’m not even sure they were MEN!.....................
Me too....................
I walked by the TV the other night as some 16 year old boy was singing. I forget what TV show it was. My wife watches it.
Anyway, this kid was sporting an awesome mullet. I laughed. This was the style before he was even born.
My silver hair is 6 inches long in the back and over the ears. I could easily do a mullet.
Imagine. A 63 year old guy with a mullet. I might try it.
Wouldn’t be any more goofy than a mullet on a young man.
Sounds appropriate for what many American "men" have deteriorated into ever since the Communist Chinese Cooties frightened them into femininity ... if not a good title for a sick movie.
Not only no, but HELL NO!
And I miss the old MulletsGalore.com web site, it was hilarious.

I saw a young black guy in Wal-Mart the other day with a huge Afro like late 60’s early 70’s style. I’m talking at least 18 inches across.
He looked weird.................
YUCK!!! I hate mullets on men!
I have a lovely garden hat for those bad hair days...P.S. I’m a girl...
tHAT’S DISGUSTING...
Afro.
Believe it or not - that’s another style this white guy has sported.
Back in the 70’s I had much thicker hair. I had it cut and permed real real tight. It grew out into a real cool afro.
My son. Ugh
Me too, in late 70’s AFTER being in the Marines, I let my hair grow out and had a perm just as you describe..........................
I just checked for mulletsgalore on the Wayback Machine (archive.org). Unfortunately, mulletsgalore seems to have met its demise before they archived pictures on sites.
The ape drapes looked trashy then, and they look trashy now.
