While it has the potential to divide opinion like no other hairdo, the mullet has also built a legion of fans in recent decades.<\/p>\n
The ‘do, often described as\u00a0‘business at the front, party at the back’, features a traditional short cut, paired with tumbling tresses down the back.<\/p>\n
And now men boasting the best mullets across the US are vying to scoop the title of winner of the 2023 ‘Mane Event’ at the annual\u00a0USA Mullet Championships.<\/p>\n
The top 25 finalists have been revealed in the competition, with lines for voting now open, until Friday (October 13).<\/p>\n
