Q&A for How to Grow a Mullet

That depends, because there are so many styles of mullet. Start by figuring out how long you want the shortest part to be, then how long you want the longest to be. Cut your bangs starting in the middle of your forehead, then go around, graduating the length. If you want it to be shaggy, you'll also need to add a lot of layers to it.

Grow it out slowly over a few months, and tell your barber to leave it a 1/2 inch longer on the back than everywhere else. This way the back slowly gets longer than the rest every time you get it cut. Then it won't be such a shock. If she does notice, just say you haven't noticed, that it must just grow faster in the back. My mom caught on after a while, but hey, it was worth a shot.

Who cares what other people think about your hairstyle? If you like it, that's all that matters. Ignore them and they'll probably get bored and stop talking about it.

After a shower, you could use a blow dryer and a horse brush and brush everything back. For an even straighter look, do that and use some pomade.

If you are having trouble maintaining your own hair, try going to a hair donation place. People donate real hair to make wigs. I bet you could find a mullet, or possibly request one be made.

You could use curlers or a curling iron to make your mullet curly. I would also recommend reading through wikiHow's article on curling hair for some more tips.

Sure. Mullets have famously been rocked by Joan Jett, Rihanna, Scarlett Johansson, Kristen Bell, and many other females.

A buzz cut does wonders for all mullets, but it is truly up to you. I would say buzz cut the sides of your head, and keep the top around one inch, depending on how much hair you want there.

Yes! I have micro-bangs with the sides shaved and I love the look. If the bangs are a little longer they can also give a nice feminine look to the hairstyle.

This depends on how long your hair is already, how long you want it and how fast your hair grows. In general, it would take about 6 - 9 months to grow it long in the back.

Yes, it still works. One of the most famous mullets in history (Ben Franklin) had a very prominent receding hairline, but he did not let it get in the way of flying his kites and getting on the 100 dollar bill.

That would depend on how strictly the dress code is enforced where you plan to serve. They may require you to keep the longer part of your hair in a bun, or not allow hair past a certain point (for example, no hair past your shoulders, ears, or jawline).

Yes, any type of hair can grow a mullet. You will have to grow out your hair to 2-6 inches and trim your bangs.

Theoretically, any kind of hairstyle can look good on anyone regardless of sex.

The mullet is a popular haircut for anyone regardless of of their sexual preference.
