Fashion is like a boomerang. What goes out comes back in a few years. In the past, various fashion trends have come back and stayed for a while before disappearing into oblivion again. One of the various styles that made a comeback recently is the mullet hairstyle. The iconic hairstyle from the 80s was characteristic of rockstars like David Bowie, Paul Mccarty among others. This unisex hairstyle is long at the back and short in the front.
Now right from the 80s into our 2020s, this hairstyle is becoming a trend again. Just like the 80s, musicians, actors, and players are all embracing this hairstyle.

There are various ways to wear a mullet and it doesn’t matter what the texture of your hair is. It looks as good on curly hair as it does on plain hair. Another trend in mullet which is popular in some parts of the world is mullet with bangs. It is always a risky business when it is about bangs but the tail end increases the risk factor. However, like Song Mino from the band WINNER, you too can carry the look with the right charm.
The best part about mullets is that its story is rooted in queer history. David Bowie, the LGBTQ icon, was one of the pioneers of this hairstyle. Coincidentally, it resurfaced again with the help of K-pop artists who are known and celebrated for breaking stereotypes around masculinity. BTS’s V who carries the very famous subtle mullet only adds to his charm.
BIGBANG’s G-Dragon, who is known to be the fashion king of K-pop also carries his mullet with panache.
