Gather the supplies you will need including: scissors, comb, hair tie, and spray bottle filled with water.

Start by combing all of the hair back away from the face. Use a horizontal part as a guide to create two sections – top and bottom. Clip the top section out of the way.
mist the bottom section with water and comb it straight back. Create a horizontal part at the occipital bone (the ridge at the base of your skull) and clip the top section out of the way. You should now have two sections – top and bottom.
Wet your hair down with the spray bottle filled with water.
Start with clean, wet hair. Mullets always look best when they’re greasy, so if you have time, don’t wash your hair for a day or two before cutting it. If you must wash it, wet it down with the spray bottle filled with water. This will help to keep your hair from becoming too frizzy while you’re cutting.
Comb your hair back and secure it with the hair tie.
Brush your hair back with a comb and secure it with a hair tie behind your head, close to the nape of your neck. If you have bangs, you can either leave them down or secure them with the hair tie as well.
Cut the hair on the top of your head starting from the front and working your way back. Be sure to cut the hair evenly.
Start by cutting the hair on the top of your head starting from the front and working your way back. Be sure to cut the hair evenly. Next, cut the sides of your head. Start from the bottom and work your way up. Again, be sure to cut evenly. Finally, cut the back of your head. Start at the bottom and work your way up. Once you have finished cutting the back, you are done!
Cut the sides of your hair starting at the top and working your way down.
Start by cutting the hair on the sides of your head. Start at the top of your head and work your way down. Keep the sides relatively short, about an inch or two above your ears. When you get to the bottom, you can either taper the sides or leave them blunt.
Next, move on to the back of your head. Cut the back of your hair shorter than the sides, about an inch or two above the nape of your neck. Again, you can either taper the hair or leave it blunt.
Finally, cut the top of your mullet. The length of the top will depend on your preference, but it’s best to keep it relatively short. Begin by cutting a few inches off the top, then work your way down to find the right length for you.
Remove the hair tie and comb your hair back.
Start with clean, dry, and styled hair. Remove the hair tie and comb your hair back. For this style, you will want to use clippers with no guard attached. Begin at the base of your neck and move the clippers up. Remember to go slowly as you don’t want to take too much off. Next, move to the sides of your head. Start at your temples and work your way down to your ears. Again, go slowly as you don’t want to take off too much hair. Finally, move to the back of your head. Start at the base of your neck and work your way up. Be sure to blend the sides into the back as you go.
Cut the back of your hair starting at the bottom and working your way up.
Start with clean, dry, and styled hair. Comb your hair straight back. Starting at the bottom of your hair, use scissors to cut upwards in small, choppy movements. Work your way up until you reach the desired length.
Trim any loose ends and style your hair as desired.
Start with clean, dry, and styled hair. If you want to achieve a really defined look, you can use some gel or pomade before you start cutting. When your hair is the way you want it, comb it back so that all of the hair is lying flat against your head.
Use sharp scissors to cut along the back of your head, following the contour of your head as closely as possible. You can make the cut as short or as long as you like, but remember that it will be easier to style if it’s not too short.
When you’ve reached the point where you want your mullet to end, comb all of the hair on top of your head forward and begin trimming it so that it’s all one length. You can make the front part of your mullet as long or as short as you like; just remember that it will be easier to style if it’s not too short.
Once you’ve achieved the desired length, use scissors or a razor to create any desired layers. When you’re finished cutting, apply some product to style your hair into place.
