Thoroughly Modern Mullet

One of the first things that we noticed after arriving in Argentina is that the mullet is alive and well. We are not alone in this observation, as we have discussed the mullet varietals of Buenos Aires with other American travelers. When we first arrived and we were observing styles and trends, it was obvious that men wear their hair longer in the back. This is generally the case no matter the male's age or social status. The average hair length extends to around the top of a t-shirt collar. These, however, are not your old Billy Ray Cyrus or 1993 Phillies World Series mullets. Buenos Aires has adapted the look to a thoroughly modern mullet.



Not too crazy, this is a good example of a fairly standard mullet in Buenos Aires.


Mullet Mates: Each guy in this group had a mullet and the best one is a little hidden standing in front of them all. It was difficult to get a good shot and it was becoming a little too obvious that I was trying.

The Dreaded Mullet, take that with whatever meaning that you prefer.

Braided Beauty: I don't know if you would call this a mullet or a multi-rat tail.

The Winner: This one is my personal favorite and was snagged by my sister without any prompting. It has some nice volume in the back and then the long and luxurious braids.
