I thought the current trend of mullets and permed hair on boys was bad enough but I’ve switched on the tv and Eastenders was on- there were two lads on it about age 16/17 with a 90’s curtains hairstyle. That’s not back in is it??!!

Yeah it’s back, lank and greasy is in 😂

I much prefer curtains to the mullet 😂

Octavia64 · 27/08/2025 20:12

Unfortunately yes

the mullet is worse though

Yep it’s back with a vengeance- I hate it but not as much as I hate the mullet so 🤷‍♀️

MyGreyStork · 27/08/2025 20:13

It’s been back for a good few years now.

I caught a bit tonight. I think the words 'incel curtains' were used just after one lad had threatened a couple of girls.

Agreed.

MyAcornWood · 27/08/2025 20:17

I think it’s been ‘in’ for a while now. I don’t actually mind it, anything but another mushroom top perm!

Better than looking like llamas surely? All the boys at DDs school look like llamas!

Curtains are the least of my worries - boys around here have mullets!

DrUptonsGardenGnome · 27/08/2025 22:41

I love curtains! DH had them when we met so it gives me warm fuzzy nostalgia feelings.

Pussert · 27/08/2025 22:43

It's been back for at least 5 years!

What is brilliant about it?

EmeraldDreams73 · 27/08/2025 22:44

Horrible but better than the mullets everywhere. When I was at school all the boys had flat tops!

BrizzleMaverick · 27/08/2025 23:26

Curtains would be better that the fuzzy bird nest most boys have.

silverygreen · 27/08/2025 23:31

Better than those tiny fringes up by the hairline.

hungryduck · 27/08/2025 23:32

Ooo I love curtains! 😍 But 90s was my teen years so loads of crushes on boys with curtains.

Toddlerteaplease · 27/08/2025 23:40

Curtains are nowhere near as bad as a mullet. I can’t belive it’s made a comeback.

spiderlight · 28/08/2025 00:08

Yes, they are well and truly back. My DS has them - he looks very 90s boy-band.
