Drew Starkey: Mini Mullet With Textured Fringe
Drew Starkey’s hair – a skillfully cut and styled mini-mullet paired with that micro, textured fringe – might be cool and fashion-forward, but those of us of a certain age (*coughs*) are also loving the nostalgic 80s nod, too.
Why We Love It:
On a scale of safe to hipster, Drew Starkey’s hair is more towards the latter end.
But, even if you don’t want to be as fashion-forward as Drew – a simple tweak like a longer, textured fringe, and a little more length all over keeps it modern while softening the look. So chat to your barber about what might work best for you.
It’s probably clear that this isn’t Drew’s first rodeo in the hair experimentation arena, either. Fans of Outer Banks would have seen him sport more classic, clean-cut looks as rebellious teen, Rafe.
But off-screen, Drew has dabbled with his barnet more, including a bleached blonde buzz cut, and shorter, edgier mullet and textured styles. And he rocks them like a pro.
Probably why there’s a popular TikTok search term Drew Starkey Pulling Off Any Hairstyle.
What To Ask Your Barber:
- Drew Starkey’s hair might be fashion forward but you can make it work for you by tweaking the length of the fringe and going shorter or longer with the texture throughout.
- Request a mini mullet with length at the back – Drew’s hair stops around an inch above the collar, avoiding excessive volume.
- Ask for a very short textured fringe – or you could opt for a longer eyebrow-length one if you’d prefer.
- Ensure the sides are tapered and are shorter, but still blend seamlessly with the longer back.
Get The Look
- One of the bonuses of Drew Starkey’s hair in this textured, mini mullet style is that it doesn’t need a lot of work to style it.
- Simply apply a lightweight texturising spray or sea salt spray to damp hair to enhance natural movement.
- Use a hair dryer on a low setting, directing the fringe forward while tousling the top and back of the hair for a lived-in look.
- Work a very small amount of matte pomade through the hair, focusing on the fringe and back to define texture without weighing it down or adding shine.
