Mullets on kids

Like small kids, under 10. No, just... no.
YABU = You bloody love a mullet on a small child. Looks great!
YANBU = You agree that a mullet is a monstrosity, particularly on a small child.

Mullets are no better or worse than the “dead rat on head” style that seems to be very popular among teenager boys. They all have terrible taste in hair, anyway.

Patienceisntvirtuous · 26/08/2024 20:04

I like them
But I'm a lesbian. They're something different among us I think Grin

What next, shell suits?

already back, at least the shell suit zip up tops are. popular with hipster students where I live.

They are very fashionable with the young farmers around here.
Dd1's boyfriend ( not a farmer) has one,his hair is naturally curly,so he's had it cut very short at the sides and it is long on top/ back.
It suits him.
I don't care how people wear their hair,that's their business.

Love supernatural 😊

There is a boy of 8-9 years old in DS’ basketball class who has a very obvious mullet - I’ve overheard other parents commenting about how it looks and it’s not complimentary.

Adults are critising the appearance of an 8-9 year old? Where they can be overheard?

Nasty bullies is what they are.

Its hair. It's not a style I particularly like, but all that means is I don't have my hair like that. Other people can wear their hair however they like. For all I know, they don't like my hair.

But judging others for their hairstyle?? That shows the nastiness of the people making the comments and that's something I would judge.

Entirely up to them. My 17 year old had one for a while as did my nephew, both looked great.

wastingtimeonhere · 26/08/2024 19:29

I think 55+ should reclaim them, fastest way to put teenagers off..🤣
one of my customers and his brother have them..early 30s..

I thought skin fades and perm on top was the fashion these days

That is in no way a mullet!

AngryLikeHades · 26/08/2024 19:01

A natural toddler mullet where hair has just grown like that is hilarious and cute, but nothing older than that.
They are absolutely hideous.

Spirallingdownwards · 26/08/2024 18:57

My grandson under 2 has one. I found it hilarious. But it isn't my child so it isn't any of my business.

Guessing you aren't old enough to remember the 80s, OP! 😄

I was born in 82. By the time I was aware of haircuts, mullets were already becoming an old fashioned embarrassment!

My husband had one and I love it! Although his is probably more of a faux hawk at the minute as it’s been trimmed.

I think they look better than perms.

Oh god. Perms on boys. That's another bugbear 😆

Foostit · 26/08/2024 18:48

I’m genuinely baffled as to why they made a comeback in the first place. They were shit in the 80s and are definitely shit now! 😂

Pipecleanerrevival · 26/08/2024 16:06

Also kids over 10.

Also adults, unless they are Pat Sharpe and it’s 1988.

I was about to say exactly this 😂😂😂

MissyB1 · 26/08/2024 18:46

Dh was showing me a team photo of the football team he played for in 1988, they virtually all had a mullet! Some of them had permed mullets! Dh's was a rather tame pathetic attempt at a mullet, like he couldn't quite commit 😂

Happy for kids of any age to have whatever haircut they like. It’s only hair.

Yeah, I mean I'm not unhappy about it. Just making a lighthearted observation that it looks shit.

Even then... There was a reason he was on ITV.
