To grow a mullet

Thinkle · 23/03/2020 16:11

Or should I let my husband cut my hair with the kitchen scissors?
(Background: I have a pixie cut and I’m already 8 weeks since my last cut)
YABU: don’t grow a mullet, hand your husband the scissors
YANBU: don’t trust him, it’s not like you can see a mullet on a video conference

I have same dilemma-watching with interest

TaterWaffle · 23/03/2020 23:15

I think it’s high time mullets made a comeback. So practical.

BritishHorrorStory · 23/03/2020 23:15

Is he a hairdresser or cut your hair before?

Flavabobble · 23/03/2020 23:16

I sort of want you to do both, so I’m not voting.

I myself bought a home perm kit to have a go at a straight perm. And some bright red hair dye. And I’m trying to get my lads to let me have a go at their hair with trimmers.

I also have a pixie cut.
I have proper hair scissors and will keep my fringe, over the ears and the back of the neck tidy if I can. I have no-one to help as DM is very elderly and shakes, and dc2 who is at home has a severe visual impairment and a tremor.
So it's down to me...
I'm going to end up with something that looks like a pudding-bowl haircut, I fear. Shock

I'm def Team Mullet.

Some people can pull off the mullet. See this picture of Falcon from Gladiators.

Oh bad, you've lived up to your name there!!!

I'm going to dream about Glen fucking Hoddle, so thanks for that.

motherheroic · 24/03/2020 08:18

I love a modern mullet. I also love a modern shag. My hair texture doesn't allow for either so I look longingly at hair salons on Instagram that specialise in them.

If you start dreaming about Pat Sharpe, I'm afraid the police have to be called.

@BritishHorrorStory no, and he’s an accountant... not promising is it 😬

Sorry, I forgot to include a picture of Joe Elliot of Def Leppard, Sheffield’s finest mullet wearer.

I'm thinking a headscarf personally. Mine is going to be dire soon!

rattusrattus20 · 24/03/2020 09:54

a good lady mullet is often quite high maintenance.

I see baby mullets making a comeback as a result of Coronavirus. Have you considered a buzz cut?

mumoftwo1975 · 24/03/2020 10:44

My hubby took the scissors to mine on Sunday, and then a box die. Did a bloody fantastic job 😁 went from helmet to pixie (or thereabouts) although the harsh, fast snipping sound was very reminiscent of cutting the hedges, my ears were scared 😆
My vote - go for it... Wear a hat on your daily walk if it all goes wrong x

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 24/03/2020 10:58

I am soooooo bloody glad I bit the bullet about 18 months ago and decided to Ditch the Pixie .

It was not easy . I used to dye my hair every 4 weeks and have it cut every 5-6 weeks .
Now I have a swingey shoulder length one length bob ( and a few grey hairs , I use a Semi P dye now)

I had to struggle through the Justin Bieber hair (in his "Baby" days )

Now is the best time to just bite it and grow your hair Grin

Gggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr · 24/03/2020 11:00

I have a pixie cut. DH has hair clippers/shaver, I have just wizzed through it randomly and it doesnt look too bad. I am going to just shave it all off on a number 8 I think, no-one is going to see me!

amusedbush · 24/03/2020 11:01

Business up front, party in the back 💁🏻‍♀️

ShadyAcromat · 24/03/2020 11:04

I think I could grow a full beard Grin

Ebay do sell a wonderful invention which is a hair clip with a spirit level stuck to it which you can stick in your hair and then cut up to. Or you could save yourself £2.99 and a 3 week wait and just hold the spirit level yourself.

littlemeitslyn · 24/03/2020 12:14

Quite fancy a shag myself

TaterWaffle · 24/03/2020 12:48

I haven’t had a shag in a long time.

MitziK · 24/03/2020 13:02

If we're bringing back old awful hairstyles, go for the wet look gel one, complete with black eyeliner and a fuckton of red lipstick, like in Robert Palmer's Addicted to Love video.

The permanently bored expression fits with most video conferences and meetings, in my experience.
