at themselves in a camera all day.
So you want something that's kind of visually interesting from the front that you can also see the back of your hair.
You can see the hair hanging down at the back as well as the front.
So all of these things like phones and the way we communicate online have really influenced hairstyles beyond just trends circulating more widely.
The mullet is such an interesting hairstyle, and I feel like I talk about mullets all the time because I'm very interested in them.
But you know, it's a hairstyle that has a long history.
This obviously it wasn't called a mullet, but hair that's short in the front and long at the back has been around for a very long time.
It has its roots as a quite a practical military haircut.
So you see it in ancient Greece and Rome and amongst the Vikings and amongst some early.
Native American groups as well.
And it's this idea that you have or men tended to have long hair, which is good for keeping you warm.
And, you know, the many other reasons people might have long hair, but having it short at the front meant that you were able to see better and your hair wasn't going to be grabbed when you were in combat.
So, you know, the hairstyle may not have been called the mullet, but versions of that are very popular for a long time.
And yeah, in terms of
More modern history, we start seeing it in the 1970s when the Ziggy Stardust moment.
And it's very fashionable for a while.
But as with anything that starts as a trend amongst a subculture, it eventually becomes more mainstream and then it
became the giant version that I suppose people think of a lot for the 80s and 90s.
And that's when it really becomes, you know, over for so many people and it becomes a bit of a joke.
But it has definitely had a revival.
