Latest Winner in the 2023 USA Mullet Championship
The mullet is, in my opinion, the worst hairstyle EVER! I say that because in my younger days, I sported the cut, and at the time thought it was the best haircut EVER, everybody did. I didn’t shave the sides as many mullet-sportin’ fellas do, but nevertheless, it was a mullet for sure. I cringe when I see those old photos.

The original mullet? For men, I believe it was David Bowie. For women, it’s got to be Florence Henderson when she had that famous hairdo on The Brady Bunch.

Here’s something that many folks don’t know, there’s a United States of America Mullet Championship. Within the USAMC you can compete in several different categories. There’s the USA Mullet Kids Championship, the USA Mullet teen Championship, the USA Mullet Men’s Open Championship, and the USA Mullet Femullet Championship which was won last year by New Yorker Cassidy Jenson.
According to mulletchamp.com the hairstyle “has been around since at least Ancient Greece, where the style was as much for function as it was for fashion. Cropped hair around the face with long locks in the back allowed for both visibility and a protective layer of hair for your neck…the Greeks weren’t the only ones sporting the mullet, though. There is evidence that Neanderthals and our oldest ancestors would wear this ‘do, as well.”
To participate in the USA Mullet Championships you need two things…a mullet and ten dollars. Once you check those boxes you can register. I should warn you that no wigs or extensions are permitted. First Prize is the $2500 “Mullet Mega Money Pot,” with the second and third place finishers receiving “Mullet Champs Gift Sets.”
Good luck with that!
