How to Get a Mullet Haircut

Moderately Challenging

Instructions

1. Look around to get a feel for where the mullet has been as a genre, and take a moment to appreciate the diversity. Ask yourself if you want your mullet to convey the madcap antics of Motley Crue, or the more urban sophistication of classic Sienfeld. Use photos for inspiration, but don't be afraid to add your own twist.

2. Wait for your hair to grow. At first, your mullet will be childish and weak. Visualize your mullet the way you'd like it to be, flowing and beautiful. Now, picture your mullet challenging Rod Stewart's to a duel. Daily exercises like this one will help your mullet develop the confidence it needs to flourish.

3. Find a stylist who is sympathetic to your goal. Working with the right professional can make all the difference between a world-class mullet haircut and something you'd find in an amature hockey league. Make sure she understands that "No" means "No" when it comes to reigning in the back.

4. Get the styling down. A new mullet haircut is the culmination of your patience and the work of a talented professional. It's up to you to keep it looking beautiful every day. Have your barber show you how to spike, feather, curl and gel your hair into a model mullet.

5. Don a mullet wig wherever mullets are welcome. If you absolutely cannot wait for your hair to catch up with your dreams, help is available. Buy online and save.
