What defines Modern mullet?
A modern mullet keeps a visible tail below the crown while cutting the sides closer. The difference is most obvious behind the ears.
What to look for from the front, side and back
Use the profile to locate the point where the shorter side gives way to the tail. In the rear view, compare the tail width and length at the collar.
What to confirm with your stylist
Mark your desired tail length and show whether you want the hair above each ear clipped close or left soft. Discuss how distinct the join should be.
