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 on anyone look terrible, but it's a fashion it will pass
I grew up in 80,s when everyone had a bad perm.

PrincessHoneysuckle · 26/08/2024 16:53

Can't stand it

bergamotorange · 26/08/2024 16:56

Fashions go in cycles, I think it's fine for kids to have fashionable haircuts if they or their parents want that.

TaylorSwish · 26/08/2024 16:57

I don’t get young people’s fashion but if it makes them happy they should wear it. They probably don’t like my fashion choices either.

That says nothing about the child, and everything about a bunch of adults who gather round to bitch about an eight-year-old’s haircut.

Exactly.. And as if a universe exists where an 8 year old would care if a bunch of middle aged parents disliked his hairstyle.

SouthLondonMum22 · 26/08/2024 16:59

I think they look better than perms.

Tophelleborine · 26/08/2024 17:00

I think under 10 is the perfect age to try out different haircuts. Also mullets look awesome.

I know several teenagers who've got them
Their mums are definitely hoping it's a shortlived fad! 😁

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.

Well that says so much more about them than it does the kid.

It is hair, the kid wants it, who cares

Anothernamechane · 26/08/2024 17:05

Who cares? Styles come and go and if the kid likes it why not? Hair grows back.

While l I don’t like mullets myself, there’s something really weird about adults judging children for their hairstyles

loropianalover · 26/08/2024 16:15

I like them! 🤣

Same. I find men with mullets very attractive 😂

My son has a mullet, it's styled and looks good, he is 10. Similar to this

That's not a mullet?

That haircut looks fine.

I haven't seen any kids with mullets. Didn't realise they were back in style.

Kids with sophisticated haircuts always make me a bit uncomfortable, whether its a mullet, layers or a CR7 fade.

Teenagers, its different, they are supposed to experiment and make things that make adults cringe. Also, I quite like this new iteration of the mullet.

Cheeseburger27 · 26/08/2024 17:12

Loads of mullets round here, school has been actively trying to ban them since 2021. I don’t mind them.

Skullets on the other hand are the most hideous hairstyle ever invented. Don’t think anyone has them in real life, they just take photos mid hair cut (that’s what I’m hoping anyway).

theresabluebirdinmyheart · 26/08/2024 17:14

Not a fan and seems to be largely sported by hipster types of people and their kids, same with huge Deirdre Barlow glasses and dungarees (?!)
i predict the “curtains” style will be back next!

That's nowhere near a mullet

BeachHutsAndDeckchairs · 26/08/2024 17:23

They don't look great imo but it's their hair and, overly strict school rules aside, it's their choice how they style it. It's not as if it won't ever grow out.

Billy Ray Cyrus is, available 🤣

Pipecleanerrevival · 26/08/2024 16:06

Also kids over 10.

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

😂

Marveladdict · 26/08/2024 17:32

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