Say the phrase mullet and a number of other variations come to thoughts. On the one hand you could have the long-lasting: David Bowie, Stevie Nicks, Blondie, Joan Jett. On the different finish of the spectrum there’s the often-mocked ’80s rock band hair satirised in movies similar to Wayne’s World and limitless comedy sketches.

Nevertheless, Kristen Stewart, and Miley Cyrus earlier than her, have ended the mullet’s tainted status by proving that the disconnected coiffure will be each cool and flattering, regardless of its chequered previous.

British hairstylist Andreas Wild says there’s been a noticeable improve in shoppers asking for extra layers, an indication that shaggy hairstyles are on the up. “I’m getting the sense that ladies are bored of one-length hairstyles and are on the lookout for one thing extra playful,” he says, suggesting a variation of the mullet – or wolf lower, because it’s generally known as – is surprisingly appropriate for all hair sorts and ages.

“Kristen Stewart’s lower is excessive, however there are methods to adapt it by closing the hole between the highest and backside,” says Wild.
