ONCE THE MULLET WAS THE DOMAIN OF THE TEENAGE THUG, THE BOGAN FOOTBALLER AND THE 1980S POWER ROCKER, BUT NOW KIDS OF ALL AGES ARE TURNING UP TO SCHOOL RESEMBLING TOADIE FROM NEIGHBOURS.

hirsute player, Bailey Smith of the Bulldogs, recently had his signature mullet trimmed by celeb hairdresser Joey Scandizzo.

Scandizzo “shaped” the hairstyle to make it blonder and straighter. It’s still a mullet (pictured), but less of a 1980s popstar power mullet and more a restrained bowl-cut mullet.

With 367,000 Instagram followers, the future of the mullet is in Smith’s mighty hands. Come on Bailey, help the parents of Australia and cull your mull.
