A "short hair mullet fade" is a hairstyle characterized by short hair on the top and sides, with longer hair at the back, typically styled in a "mullet" shape. Think Billy Ray Cyrus in the early 1990s.
This haircut has gained popularity in recent years due to its versatility and edgy style. It is suitable for various face shapes and hair textures, and can be customized to create a unique look. Historically, the mullet was associated with rock and heavy metal music in the 1970s and 1980s, but it has since been adopted by individuals from all walks of life.
