Joe Keery is one of the most well-known actors nowadays. His fame rose when he debuted as Steve Harrington on Netflix’s Stranger Things and played a small but significant role in this series. This year, Joe will star in The Mortician where he portrays another prominent character. What people don’t know about him is that he actually has a famous haircut – called The Mullet which consists of having long hair on the top of your head and mostly shaved sides or completely bald.
Joe Keery Career
It may seem strange to some, but Joseph David Keery is actually one of the most well-known actors these days. In addition to his role on Stranger Things and being a comedian, he’s made himself even more famous by becoming a rapper.
Keery got his start in acting at a young age, with roles on popular Nickelodeon TV shows such as Drake & Josh and The Good Time Girls. His most notable roles so far are arguably The Kings of Summer where he played the character Tyler – an introverted teenager who becomes friends with two other boys who flee their homes for summer vacation – and Stranger Things where he plays Steve Harrington, who is featured throughout all seasons.
In 2016, Keery starred as Ben Sinclair in the Netflix original series Stranger Things, which is about four friends who go missing after a terrifying creature invades their small town of Hawkins, Indiana.
Within two days of airing, the show had become immensely popular among audiences around the world. Particularly in America and England where it gained popularity much quicker than it did here in Canada. Due to its unique story line (having to deal with living through death) as well as the brilliant acting from each member of the cast (Keery’s portrayal of Steve Harrington was liked by many people for it’s relatable characteristics) – this show quickly became a ratings sensation for Netflix internationally.
Joe Keery Haircut
Joe Keery has a style of haircut called ‘Mullet.’ This hairstyle is characterized by its long back and sides, shaved down on the top, and very short messy front-fringe. ‘The Mullet’ became popularized among many business people from the 1980s onwards because it was great for keeping hair out of someone’s face while adding volume up top; which would be very helpful in working environments.
Mullet Haircut
The mullet haircut is one of the most famous hairstyles in the world. A simple yet attractive look for all genders, this style can be worn by people aged four and up, no matter their race or gender. The typical mullet was first seen among sailors and dock workers from Europe; however, it soon became popular among farmers and ranchers when they found out how easy-going this type of hair cut was.
It was named the mullet due to its uncanny resemblance to the fish called mullet. Mullets are a mixed hairstyle comprising of both short hair at the back and sides while keeping long hair on top or having long hair on top with a shorter style. The long side bangs can be cut straight across, angled upwards or even trimmed into points or square corners.
Bangs come in all shapes and sizes, but today’s most popular styles are shorter than what was popular a decade ago. A decade ago, people preferred longer bangs with voluminous strands while nowadays they prefer to keep their hair short. One notable change is that today’s teens often wear long hair as an act of rebellion against society norms which usually require girls to either keep their hair short or put it up in a tight bun.
How to get the Mullet Haircut?
If your hair is short, you can get a mullet haircut at home with the help of an overgrown garden and some scissors. Just follow these steps:
- Get an electric clipper with a number 1 blade and a number 3 guide.
- Use the number 1 blade to cut off all the hair on the top part of your head so that it is almost bald.
- Use the number 3 guide and trim your sides to make them as short as possible, but do not shave them completely off.
- Use a rat tail comb to pull back the remaining hair in the front into a ponytail. Secure it with an elastic band and make sure there is enough slack to form either an arrow or lightning bolt shape on top of your head.
- Gently comb down the sides of your head so that they are flat against your ears and neckline by applying some hair product, such as pomade or gel. Let it dry before brushing again to ensure it stays in place.
Conclusion
Mullets are generally not recommended for men who don’t need to cover up thinning hair, as they can make it seem even finer than what it really is. The lack of volume at the top paired with the long length at the bottom also makes this style less flattering for those with round faces or a large forehead.
If you’re wanting to try out this trend but find yourself shying away from it because of how unflattering it looks on your type of face – just go ahead and ask your barber if they would be able to add more weight in your hair near the middle part line where everything starts. This will make your face appear more angular, which balances out how lengthy this hairstyle has become!
