Gorgeous actress/singer/wig enthusiast Zendaya has moved on from the mullet wig that she wore to the Grammy Awards last month.
At the Louis Vuitton show in Paris this week, she was back to regular long hair.
When you swear you walking the show??? #lvaw16 @louisvuitton

I, on the other hand, am still living the mullet life. In fact, this might be the most mullet-y mullet I’ve had yet.

I’ve got a new mullet goal though. Someday — even if it’s just for one day with the help of a Zendaya-like wig — I must try a mullet like the one singer Jane Child was famous for in 1990. I recently rewatched her video for “Don’t Wanna Fall in Love” and was completely hypnotized by her extreme hair: Spiked on top and cornrows down to her knees.
I like this interview Jane did
where she acknowledged the different cultures that influenced her look: “Obviously, the cornrows are African. The nose ring and the chains between my nose and my ear are a very old East Indian women’s custom.” I’ve been very annoyed lately by style writers who think it’s a hot new trend when a white woman wears a hairstyle that black women have been wearing forever. Like when the Kardashians wear cornrows except suddenly those are a brand-new style called “boxer braids.” DAFUQ? Here’s a tip for anyone writing about hair: Use Google before you declare that a celebrity dresses invented something new … especially when it comes to braids, twists and knots!

Srsly! Nothing is new, people! All been done before. Nothing “revolutionary” happens in fashion, though it’s always nice to see styles recycle.
Jesus, I’d forgotten all about Jane Child.

Isn’t that a good song? I don’t know what made me stumble across it all of a sudden.

This cut really suits you! It’s a more modern mullet imo.

Thank you!
