The mullet is back. In 2026, it's all about hybrid styles:
The Fade Mullet: Combines a sharp taper fade on the sides with length at the back.
The Textured Mullet: Uses layers to create movement, perfect for wavy or curly hair.
The Faux Mullet: A softer, professional-friendly take that offers the silhouette without the extreme length contrast.
One of the most common questions we get is: "Can I pull off a mullet?"
The answer is yes—if you choose the right variation. Use this guide to find your perfect match:
Face Shape | Best Mullet Style | Styling Tip |
|---|---|---|
Round | Voluminous Top Mullet | Create height on top to visually elongate your face. Keep sides tight. |
Square | Structured Fade Mullet | Sharp lines and skin fades complement your strong jawline perfectly. |
Oval | Classic or Shaggy Mullet | You're lucky! Almost any variation works. Try messy textures for a modern look. |
Long | Layered & Textured Mullet | Use softer layers and bangs (fringe) to balance face length. |
Diamond | Soft Faux Mullet | Avoid too much volume on top; focus on flow and movement at the back. |
Audit Your Look: Thoroughly test the waters before scheduling that haircut.

Visualizes how a mullet works with straight, wavy, or curly hair types.
A modern mullet updates the classic "short front, long back" style with contemporary elements like skin fades, textured layers, and disconnected undercuts. It is less boxy and more fluid than its 1980s predecessor.
Absolutely. The modern mullet remains a top men's grooming trend in 2026. It has evolved into a high-fashion statement that works across various hair types, including curly and straight hair.
A mullet focuses on length contrast (short sides/front, long back). A faux hawk simulates a mohawk with a central ridge of hair from front to back. A "Mullet Faux Hawk" hybridizes both, keeping the back long and the center spiked.
Upload a high-resolution photo where your face is unobscured. Ensure your current hair is pulled back or flat if possible, so the AI can accurately overlay the new mullet style.
Yes! The mullet is exceptionally popular for curly hair (often called the "Kentucky Waterfall" or "Modern Shag"). Our AI attempts to match textures to give you a realistic preview.
