How to wear the coolest and trendiest haircut of the moment
Summer is the best time to dare with a change of look and bet on a trendy haircut seasonal. This 2024, in particular, the most in demand are the short haircutsalthough others are longer, such as the butterfly haircut or the wolf cuthave managed to position themselves at the top of the ranking due to their effect contouring.
But if there is a hairstyle that has come to dethrone them all and that is especially flattering once you turn 50, that is the mullet. By the hand of Juan Diego Teo, hair designer and ambassador of REDKENWe tell you all the secrets of the haircut that you won’t want to stop wearing this season.
What is the mullet cut?
If you are one of those who remembers the eighties fondly, this cut is made for you. As Juan Diego Teo explains, the mullet takes us back to the grunge of the 80s: “Longer at the back and with a messy layers, while the front and sides are shorter and neater,” explains the stylist.
The two faces of the mullet that you will want after 50
Making use of that rebelliousness that is inherent to it, the mullet haircut does not remain immutable, but has several Hybrid options that play, above all, with their length or with the disconnection between their layers. For those looking for a anti-aging effectJuan Diego recommends the versions of the mullet shullet or mixie.
Shullet: between shaggy and mullet
“It is ideal for those who do not dare with the mullet, since it is a more sophisticated styleIt is a mix of the mullet, but in longer version”. The shullet takes the best of the shaggy cut and the mullet, resulting in a long haircut accompanied by bangs (either open bangs or long bangs) that frames the face, while adding volume and texture to the hair.
Behind are the medium length layered haircuts initials, to move on to dedicate ourselves to a hairstyle for long hair that rejuvenates to the maximum. It favors both straight and wavy hair and, above all, highly recommended for curly girls (you know how to care for curly hair to get the most out of it?).
Mixie: halfway between the mullet and the pixie
Are you into short layered manesbut you are tired of the bob or the pixie? Then what you need is a mixie, much more youthful and modern. Regarding this hybrid, Juan Diego Teo clarifies: “for those who are a little more daring, we created a more casual style. A fusion between the mullet and the pixie. This cut is longer on top and shorter at the back but lengthening the sideburns.” This version falls squarely in the ideal haircuts for short girls.
The mullet haircut is made for you if…

Juan Diego makes it clear that this haircut is very easy to adapt to all types of hair. Although as for the face shapethe most favored will be the oval and angular. We cannot forget our personal style, in this case, the hair designer emphasizes that it is a perfect cut for those women over 50 who are looking for “a more modern or even more alternative style”.
How to style and maintain a mullet haircut after 50
“You have to wash, condition and dry your hair well, first with a towel, patting it, and then with a hairdryer. Apply a heat protector first,” she begins. “If you are skilled, you can do it comb your hair with wax-type products And if you don’t feel up to it, a little hairspray will save you,” she adds. The ultimate trick? “Use your fingers to define the bangs and the layers a little more.”
To keep your mullet looking like it came straight from a hair salon, it’s best to go to the salon every month and a half to prevent it from growing too long and losing the shape and effect that have elevated this cut to the top.
