Paul Mescal: Modern Mullet Hairstyle
Paul Mescal debuted a modern mullet hairstyle at the 2023 Film Independent Spirit Awards. This contemporary take on the mullet blends textured curls with a tapered nape, creating a relaxed yet fashion-forward look.
Why We Love It:
The modern mullet has made a strong comeback, and Paul Mescal’s take on the style is a masterclass in effortless cool. The soft, natural curls on top contrast with the subtle length at the back, giving it a retro-inspired yet wearable appeal. This style works particularly well for men with wavy or curly hair, adding movement and definition. It’s an excellent choice for those who want a bold but laid-back look.
What To Ask Your Barber:
- Keep 2-3 inches on top with natural texture.
- Request a soft taper on the sides instead of a high fade.
- Maintain length at the back, ensuring a seamless transition rather than a sharp contrast.
- Opt for point cutting to enhance movement and avoid a bulky finish.
- Ask for a natural neckline instead of a sharp line-up for a relaxed aesthetic.
Get The Look
- Towel-dry hair after washing to retain natural texture.
- Apply sea salt spray for volume and definition.
- Use a diffuser attachment on a hairdryer to enhance curls without frizz.
- Scrunch in a matte paste or light clay for a soft, natural hold.
- Finish with a light-hold hairspray to maintain shape throughout the day.
