For this Jungle Room installment Mitchell Tanner takes on the ever-evolving Mod Mullet. Mitchell shows how to create a haircut that looks loose, textured and effortless, while still holding its shape from dawn to dusk (or dusk to dawn).
The Mod Mullet is all about balance. It pulls in that nostalgic 90s energy, while maintaining the attitude of a classic mullet and sharpens it up with a modern finish. When cut right, this style gives off a messy, bedhead look without losing structure.
This is the kind of cut that works for guys who want shape without looking too polished. The texture through the top creates movement, while the length through the back gives the cut its unmistakable mullet character. The trick is making sure the shape feels natural, not forced. Too clean and it loses its edge. Too messy and it falls apart. The sweet spot is organized chaos.
For styling, Mitchell reaches for Uppercut Deluxe Clay Spray and then finishes with Texture Cream a perfect match for a cut like this. Clay Spray helps bring out the texture and separation without making the hair look overworked, while Texture Cream helps to add a little more control and highlight that choppy texture. This combo is ideal for creating that dry, lived-in finish that makes the Mod Mullet feel effortless.
There’s a reason this cut has come back around. It has attitude, shape and personality, but it doesn’t demand perfection. The Mod Mullet is made to move, made to sit a little wild, and made to look better as the day goes on.
Applying Clay Spray is simple once you know the process. Follow the steps below to style this textured Mod Mullet:
- Start with dry or slightly damp hair and give the Clay Spray a good shake.
- Spray evenly through the hair, focusing on the roots and mid-lengths to build texture and volume.
- Use your hands to work the product through, pushing the hair into shape while keeping the finish loose and natural.
- Piece out sections through the top and back to create separation and movement.
- Let the hair fall into place. The goal is messy, textured and chaotic — but with shape that holds.
