1. Modern Mullet Haircut

With the mullet, it’s all about nuances. If you want your mullet hairstyle to have a visible modern touch to it, you should focus on adapting the classic haircut to a modern mullet silhouette. Almost all modern versions of the mullet haircut are messily styled.

2. Mullet Haircut with Beard

Want to add an extra edge to your mullet haircut? You can always boost the manliness of a mullet haircut with the help of facial hair. However, do remember that beards require time, products, and grooming to keep them looking sharp.

3. Rattail Haircut for Male

We couldn’t have talked about the mullet haircut without bringing up the rattail. This is a modern mullet haircut from the same family as the mullet, but which has short hair on the top-end in a long section of hair at the nape (hence the name). Consider getting a mullet haircut if you have a shorter top and longer back tickle your fancy.

4. Layered Mullet Haircut

We’ve said it once, we’ll repeat it a thousand times: a layered haircut is perfect for any man. No matter what type of hair you have, how old you are, or what your style is, layers will always increase the coolness of any look by a mile.

5. Artsy Mullet Hairstyle

If your style is highly fashion-oriented, you’ll love this mullet haircut adaptation. Not only does it have an artsy twist, but it’s also easy to maintain owing to the overall shorter length. The choppy bangs are also a nice touch to this eye-catching “front party, back party, party everywhere!” look.

6. Faux Hawk Mullet Haircut

Count on a mohawk mullet haircut to toughen up the appearance of any haircut. Also, if you just want to experiment with similar shapes, try a faux hawk mullet. Just shave down the sides and leave the top and back longer and you’re good to go! The sides are also slightly faded.

7. Goth Mullet Hairstyle

It’s always great to be able to express your personality or musical tastes through your hairstyle. If you’re goth for life, go for a mullet like the one in the photo below. The sides are also completely buzzed.

8. Subtle Mullet Haircut

Some men might not want their mullet haircut to be that upfront. If this is the case for you, we recommend leaving just a little bit of hair falling down your nape. Style the top part however you please – even a business in the front look works!

14. Discrete Mullet Haircut with Full Beard

Still, you can always opt for a subtle mullet too, and look just as good. Complete a discrete mullet hairstyle with a full and thick beard for an extra touch of cool. Also, remember – caring for your beard is caring for your all-around appearance!

15. Choppy Mullet Haircut

We’re always up for edgy hairstyles, especially if the guy wearing them has a similar personality. Add a rock star effect to your mullet haircut by working in choppy layers all around. To get the choppy outcome, your layers should be short and numerous.

16. Very Long Mullet Hairstyle

Some men just look terrific with long hair. If you recognize yourself in this, don’t hesitate to opt for a mullet haircut with a long tail. Crop the top part as much as you want but let the lower part grow as much as possible.

17. Easy Going Mullet Hairstyle

This is a very balanced modern version of a mullet haircut. It’s not too fancy, nor is it too in-your-face. We call it the easygoing mullet – note that it leaves just an inch or two of longer hair at the back of the neck. Men who love mullet style choose this for a classy style.

18. 80s Mullet Haircut

While the 80s-style mullet and the classic mullet head have long gone out of fashion, this look can still be an original choice for men who resonate with the glam rock era. In the end, you don’t have to follow trends if they’re not aligned with your personality.

19. Mullet Haircut with Hard Part

22. Old School Mullet Haircut

After we spoke about the iconic 80s mullet, it’s only fair that we touch on the 90s version as well. Back then, mullets were all the rage if rocked with headbands. Our advice remains the same regarding the specific styles of both these decades – wear them with pride if you truly like them!

23. Emo Mullet Hairstyle

While emo mullets are not an option for full-grown men that work in corporations, they are an interesting choice for teenage emo guys. The emo mullet features the style’s signature full, side-swept bangs, with straightened locks that spread out across the back and sides of the neck.

24. Angular Fringe Mullet Haircut

The image below shows the perfect example of what a modern and trendy mullet haircut can and should look like. A classic mullet is mixed with an angular fringe haircut for the top section. After getting the base haircut, style the bangs over the forehead and jaggedly to one side.

25. Braided Mullet Haircut

So you decided on getting a rattail mullet haircut? Congratulation! Now, we have just the styling idea to help you further personalize this hairstyle! Instead of leaving the tail part simply down, twist your hairstyle (literally) by braiding it.

26. V-Shaped Rattail Haircut

On the other hand, you may want to get a rattail haircut that isn’t that long on the tail part and also not as. full. As an alternative, pump up the edginess of this hairstyle by cutting a V-shape in the back and shaving and fading these sides.

27. Long Mullet Haircut with Faux Hawk

We have a fantastic idea for men who prefer mullets with longer tails. Once you get the haircut, style the section on top into a fine-looking faux hawk. We encourage you to follow the technique displayed in the photo below to get that fanned mohawk aspect.

28. Mullet with Shorter Sides

Some men opt for mullet haircuts that don’t cut down the sides that much. Others opt for a completely shaved part. If neither style matches your tastes, stay somewhere in between by rocking a long top with shorter sides with your mullet.

29. Mullet Haircut for Thick Hair

While thick hair can be a curse for guys who aren’t into excessive styling, it can be a sheer blessing for those who like longer, ruffled hair. Obtain the ruffled and messy look by cutting in some layers too. This hairstyle is trendy to young men and this has always been the top choice for think and long hair.

30. Modern Pompadour Mullet Haircut

Over time, the pompadour became acknowledged as a highly classy hairstyle for both men and women. Nevertheless, the modern pompadour almost always has an edgy side to it. Think about sporting your mullet with a messy pompadour top to make the most of both these classic looks.

31. Spiky Top with Flowing Back Hairstyle

One of the neatest parts of the mullet haircut is that you can play around with the lengths of the top and bottom individually. For instance, you can maintain a cleanly-cropped top with spiky hair and leave the part at the nape longer and flowing free – but likely only if you have straight hair.

32. French Crop Mullet Haircut

Yet another modern mullet that will certainly catch your eye if you follow trends is this French crop version. The French crop hairstyle has been topping the charts for over a year now and mixing it with a mullet will make for a super cool look.

37. Comb Back Mullet Haircut with Volume

Slicked-back hairstyles have their fair share of pros and cons. Even though the sleek effect is awesome, it may be a volume-killer for some guys. If you still want a visible shape to your hairstyle, use high-quality hair products and comb back the part under the first slicked back layer.

38. Mullet Hairstyle for Afro-Textured Hair

Hard as it may seem to believe nowadays, there was a time when Kanye West rocked a mullet haircut. It may not be the most flattering hairstyle for him specifically, but we do believe the silhouette is an interesting idea for men with afro-textured hair.

39. Side Bangs Mullet Haircut

Whether you want to conceal a larger forehead or an unflattering hairline, side bangs can be the perfect solution for both!

    I decided today at my barbers that I am going to grow a summer mullet. Not sure how long I am going to take it or what exact style, but I do know it’s going to be a fun process. Wife said “go for it” I own my own company so who cares, and I have another buddy who is down too. The folks at the country club may not find it amusing but that’ll make it that much better!

      That’s great! You could go for a Kurt Russell look or something like Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon. Those were amazing mullets. Either way, the most important thing when choosing a haircut is to feel good about yourself. If you like it and it makes you feel awesome, go for it!
