I keep wondering if I could pull off a modern mullet. My hair is naturally wavy/curly and flows like a dream.
No. I can’t. My hair is thinning too much in the front from androgenic alopecia.
BUT — my hair in the back is SO THICK and CURLY. It’s glorious. I kinda hate that I have to buzz it down to 0-1 at the barber.
I’m wanting to do something different but it’s hard when you’re experiencing diffuse and uneven hair thinning/loss.
Ideas?? Anyone wanna put my face on some hair styles for fun? LOL
@britt I tried a "wolf cut" a few years ago but that was hard to make it look ok thanks to uneven curl in my hair.

@McRocker that’ll be awesome!!!
@britt RIGHT?? I'll be sure to send pics!!

@britt I tried over successive cuts (I do my own at home a lot) to let the back grow into a party - but as soon as it got long enough to be obvious I was like yuck, no can do!
Didn't help that it was probably summer when I tried. Too much hot and sweaty in exactly the wrong place, so off it came.
Don't see why you can't try and let it grow out though - maybe with a fauxhawk as a middle ground...

@sarajw that’s exactly what I’m worried about! I have *so* much hair in the back it’s wild. I imagine it’ll be brutal during the summer though, especially trying to sleep.

@britt yeah I kind of liked the look of it, but I've been a short back and sides person for so very long, that it felt so wrong and it had to go.
Even when I do let my hair grow long, the last couple of times it's been over a severe undercut, so I could still put it up and feel the breeze around my neck.
That might be where a faux hawk could work though - give you some party at the back but still tapering into the neck?

@britt not saying you have to do the full hawk, mind
more about the tapering extra stuff at the back, that might let your curls show a bit -

Ty for chatting with me about it. I’m going to have to just walk in somewhere and hope they can do the thing.
