4. Tapered Short Curly Mullet
A tapered curly mullet has shorter, carefully shaped sides that gradually blend into a fuller crown and longer back. The taper creates a cleaner outline than a shaggy mullet.
This version highlights the curls on top while keeping the area around the ears controlled. It can appear polished, edgy, or sporty depending on how closely the sides are cut.
The tapered shape also helps emphasize cheekbones and facial structure.
Who It Suits Best
This haircut is suitable for:
- Thick curls or coils.
- Women who dislike bulky sides.
- Round, oval, and square faces.
- Anyone wanting a clean but expressive style.
- People comfortable scheduling regular trims.
Styling Tips
Define the longer curls using a curl cream and gel combination. Apply the products in sections to ensure even coverage.
Use a small amount of edge control or lightweight pomade around the tapered sections when a polished finish is desired. For a softer result, leave the edges natural.
Schedule shape-maintenance appointments approximately every four to six weeks, depending on how quickly your hair grows.
