The popular curly hair mullet has tons of layers to boost the natural texture and body of the tresses. Sides are cut short, while the back area has longer pieces. Its cool and chic style really makes a strong impression!
Jaime, a hairstylist, barber, and artist from Camden Town, London says, “The biggest benefit of the mullet is it removes a lot of dead weight that can drag curls down. It allows the curls to be as bouncy and fresh as they can be.”
With the many variations of a mullet, face shape is one thing to consider. Jaime explains, “Cutting curls shorter can add volume or width to certain areas in the hair. This can affect how your facial structure appears.”
The compatibility of the cut is also determined based on your hair texture and type of curl. An experienced hairdresser is the best person to seek advice from.
As one of many ladies with natural curls, this is something exciting for you to experience. If in doubt, Jaime suggests getting the shag type of mullet instead. He describes it as the “longer and safer trial version” of the cut.
The popular curly hair mullet is a trend that stays forever on-trend. Browse this set of images for inspiration next time you visit the salon.
