The ’80s were full of hairstyles we’d rather not relive, but The Mullet was by far the biggest ire of that decade. Historians suspect that people have been wearing mullet-like hairstyles since ancient times to keep their necks warm while still being able to see.

Fast forward to modern times and The Mullet has been redefined as “business in the front and a party in the back.” Thankfully, the trend didn’t last too long in the ’90s. Professional hairstylists have attempted to make it chic over the years, but let’s just agree that The Mullet was never meant to be.

Hairstyles can be inspired by anything and one coming up came from World War II planes.
