Over the decades, people have wanted to imitate their favorite celebrity hairstyles. One of the favorites was the John Stamos mullet hairstyle. The mullet hairstyle can be worn to create a variety of different looks.

The mullet first came into being in 1960 when Tom Jones sported it. In the 1980s, Billy Ray Cyrus had his locks in a trademark mullet style, which remained popular until the 1990s. There are two basic styles that define mullets, the classic mullet and the ponytail mullet.

The attraction of the mullet is that it is relatively low maintenance. The long hair at the back may be curled or pulled into a braid or a ponytail. Some men, like Sean Paul create their mullet consisting of cornrows.

Tapered mullets create a variety of different looks. The hair at the top may be grown or turned into a Mohawk. A frazzled look is easily created with the help of styling products. Some celebrities in the old days, such as John Stamos, wore their hair layered on the sides. Some other celebrities who applied hairspray to puff out the sides of their hair favored the puffy look.

A businessman can also wear his hair long by wearing a mullet style. Keeping the hair at the top in a more traditional style, the long hair at the back may be pulled into a ponytail and wrapped in a ponytail holder. This way, the ponytail can be tucked into his shirt to hide the long hair away.

The back can be layered or tapered off, leaving only a rat tail in the back. Any length longer than the hair on top of the head qualifies as a mullet. Whether your hair is shoulder length or all the way down to your lower back, it qualifies.
