Affectionately known as any of the following – a neck warmer, a Tennessee top hat, or a party at the back – mullets might be the most polarising hairstyle in history, but they are also the cut that refuses to die.
Salons across Britain are reporting a surge in demand for the haircut which Vogue describes as “history’s most divisive”. On TikTok, the mullet hashtag has more than 12.8bn views while on Instagram, The Mullet Society, a fan account where users send their own mullet selfies to be rated out of 10, has more than 20,000 followers. “Lavish and luscious,” reads one caption, which has been awarded top marks.
