Pop quiz: what do Rihanna and Meryl Streep have in common? They’ve both gone full mullet curls at some point in their lives. And if you, like them, have partied enough with this rule-breaking ‘do, you’re probably at a point where you can’t wait to try something new. Fret not, because growing out a mullet hairstyle is easier than you may think if you’re willing to put in extra effort. Here, we’ll show you how to make your cut look bomb throughout the transition period.
Step 1: Invest in Your Scalp Health
Even if you brush your hair 100 times a day or take vitamins after every meal, your locks will still grow at their own pace. While there’s no shortcut to making your hair longer in a matter of weeks, you can ensure it has the foundation for thriving by caring for your scalp.
Every good scalp care routine starts with proper cleansing. Wash your hair regularly with Sunsilk Damage Reconstruction Shampoo. It removes build-up while infusing each strand with keratin, vitamin C, and almond oil. Give yourself a scalp massage as you shampoo to help boost circulation and relieve stress – your hair’s biggest enemy.
Step 2: Condition and Mask
Are your mullet curls stuck at the same length? Odds are your hair is breaking off just as fast as it grows. Several things can contribute to hair breakage, from sun exposure to heat styling. Friction from vigorous hair brushing can damage your strands, too.
If you notice suspiciously short and straggly strands on random parts of your head, it’s your sign to up your haircare game. After shampooing, apply Cream Silk Ultimate Reborn Damage Control Conditioner. Enriched with Fiber Repair Complex formula, it helps promote elasticity as well as strengthen your hair against breakage. From the first wash, your curls will be up to 98% protected against breakage and split ends (based on lab tests vs. non-conditioning shampoo).
Step 3: Trim the Ends Strategically
The key element of a mullet haircut is the distinct contrast in lengths, with shorter hair on the front and longer locks at the back. Essentially, you want to even them out as they grow, so you won’t be left with a weird rattail.
Ask your hairstylist to chop the back layers while keeping the length of the face-framing sections. If your hair is on the thicker side, clean up the hair at the base of your neck to remove some of the bulkiness. As your mullet curls grow, the overall look will resemble a hush cut.
Step 4: Spiff Up Your Mullet Curls
As you wait for your hair to gain more inches, you can choose from plenty of styling options to revamp your ‘do. One easy way to add drama to your mullet is by playing with different hair accessories. Think padded headbands, funky barrettes, and pretty bows. It’s also a great excuse to take a break from your heat tools. For special occasions, show up with a slicked-back look that whispers quiet luxury.
Step 5: Try Out a Different Haircut
When your hair is long enough, the fun finally begins. You can bid adieu to your wavy mullet and dip your toes into a new territory. Do you want to go classic with a blunt bob? Is the butterfly cut calling your name? The decision is yours.
For the indecisive, the bullet cut combines the elegance of a bob and the feathery texture of a butterfly cut. With choppy pieces hitting below your cheekbones and soft layers around the crown, the hairdo allows your curls to look fuller. The face-contouring action is another bonus.
Growing out your mullet curls doesn’t have to be an agonizing waiting game. With this guide, you can skip the awkward in-between stages. Who knows, you might find yourself loving your hair even more than before.
