mulleted
Short-long hair combo
Mulleted describes someone wearing a mullet hairstyle—short in front and on the sides, long in the back.
The style peaked in the 1980s and carries associations with working-class culture, rock music, and ironic retro fashion: a mulleted guy in a vintage concert tee, the mulleted hockey player from the '80s highlight reel.
