The Rise of the Modern Mullet in Portsmouth: How to Maintain It and Why Werkroom Is Your Go-To

The mullet has made a strong comeback, and the modern mullet is now one of the most requested hairstyles at Werkroom Barbershop in Portsmouth, Southsea. Far from the rough-and-ready cut it once was, today’s mullet is sharp, intentional and full of personality. Whether you prefer a subtle taper fade, a bold burst fade or a textured blowout taper, the modern mullet offers countless ways to express your style.

At Werkroom, we specialise in both modern and classic hairstyles, making us the top choice for clients who want expert precision and a style that suits them perfectly.

What Makes the Modern Mullet So Popular?

The modern mullet blends structure with movement: shorter through the front and sides, with extra length and texture through the back. It’s adaptable, eye-catching and easy to style.

Some popular choices are:

  • Short mullet with soft texture;

  • Tapered mullet for a clean, refined outline;

  • Burst fade mullet for a rounded shape around the ear;

  • Blowout taper for volume and lift at the back and tapered nape;

  • Classic long mullet with that modern twist.

    How Often Should You Get a Tidy Up?

To keep your mullet looking sharp, regular upkeep is essential:

  • Every 2–4 weeks: tidy up the taper, burst fade or outline;

  • Every 6–8 weeks: reshape the length and overall silhouette;

  • Every visit: keep the neckline and edges clean so the mullet keeps its structure.

Skipping trims can make the mullet lose its shape, so consistent maintenance keeps everything balanced and fresh.

How to Maintain and Style Your Mullet at Home

Between appointments, a little care goes a long way:

  • Use texturizing products such as sea salt spray, the Werkroom Matte Clay or texturizing powder;

  • Try not to shampoo too often. Twice a week is usually enough, depending on your job and lifestyle;

  • Blow-dry with intention to keep volume around the crown;

  • Condition regularly to keep the longer back section healthy.

With the right routine, your mullet will always look effortlessly styled!
