Mullet
A HBC reader pointed out that the "mullet" was left out which he says was "the quintessential American haircut". HBC would not agree with that, but it was a haircut favored by rednecks, 1980's bands like DuranDuran, and soccer players for decades. It was not commonly worn by boys, but some teenagers in high school wore it. It is was a busy hair cut worn very long at the back. A HBC reader writes aboy the mullet, "That was definately a major hairstyle from 1985-1993 for boys. In 85, I was 12 years old, and very noticeably, many boys in my school had that haircut, and my school ranged from kindergarten to 8th grade. Not only was the mullet the major haircut, most other boys were feathering their hair." The term "mullet" is on your site, but to let you know what it is, it's the top and sides of the hair cut short, and the back long. We never used the term "mullet" ever in the 80's. That term was coined in the late 90's to describe the haircut. We just said "short on the top and sides and leave the back long". The "mullet" is actually an evolved haircut that came from the many feathered hairstyles.
