Can you get a modern mullet with curly hair?
4 min read
Quick answer
Yes. A modern mullet on curly hair needs the right fade or taper length at the back and layers that respect your curl pattern. Curly mullets look best with moisture-friendly styling and a stylist who cuts texture dry or with curl-aware technique.
I have 3b curls. Will a modern mullet work or will it just look messy?
Curly modern mullets are one of our most requested men's shapes in 2026. The key is layering for your curl pattern and choosing fade or taper depth so the sides do not fight the volume at the back. We often shape length at the back to sit with your natural curl rather than forcing it straight.
Fade or taper on curly hair?
Skin fade mullet on curls gives strong contrast but needs regular upkeep. Taper mullet or burst fade mullet can be softer and easier between visits. Fine curls may suit a lower fade. Thick curls can carry a higher burst or skin fade when mapped correctly.
What products should I use at home?
Moisture first. Ask us about PHWOAR treatment and styling products in salon. Diffuse or air dry when you can and avoid heavy oils that weigh curls down before your cut settles. Book a consultation at Mortlake SW14 and bring reference photos of curl length you are happy with.
