Rebirth of the Rat Tail!

I am a child of the 80s. I remember that in 1983 rat tail haircuts were cool.

Do you know what I am talking about?

If not you are probably too young - here is a picture.


I can honestly say that I have not seen this haircut in 20+ years (on any continent).

That is, until yesterday.

I saw it twice while getting a car serviced at Southtowne VW. One guy had a full on braided tail and his buddy had a little budding plummage - a 'trainer' rat tail.

Is this back in style? Has anyone else seen this?

Is is a mullett (sp) in a braid?

Ross said...

I would classify the rat tail as a subset of the mullett - mulletts are generally more full.

Would this qualify to go in your "all about mullets" book?

If you are writing a book like that, I would totally buy it... This is Sister Heywood-Higley. Fun to catch up! Love the blogs!
