"Last year, FLOW MOTION took the 55+ Championship, and we raised over $3,000 for Jared Allen's homes for wounded warriors! My mullet started over 4 years ago when I decided to not cut my hair during COVID. I've had a couple of awesome people cutting my hair, but I owe it all to the Hair Maestro at George Salon in Portage, Michigan! With that being said, I have full intentions to be in the running for the overall championship and donating my prize money for a great cause, Jared Allen's Homes for Wounded Warriors!"

"I’ve sported every hairstyle under the sun throughout my lifetime: spiked punk, combover, undercut, slick back, even completely bald (for charity). But, I never had the opportunity to grow my hair out when I was younger because the private high school I attended required a 'professional' haircut (no hair touching the collar or ears). When I played college baseball, my coach wanted his players to be clean-shaven and have crew cuts… Then Covid hit. I graduated from college, still sporting a fade, but I couldn’t get my hair cut. Over the course of a year, I experimented with longer hairstyles until I heard someone tell me, 'Has anyone ever said you look like Patrick Swayze?' Ever since that day, I realized that the mullet is not just a haircut, it’s a lifestyle, and I have some big shoes to fill if I am being compared to one of the best to ever do it."

2024 Adult Contestant - Round 3. "After traveling on and off for years through the French countryside, sampling wines and Cognac, I somewhat endeared myself to the people of a small rural town known as Mulét. I did such by saving the Mayor’s daughter a number of years ago from a tragic end in an unexpected accident involving a pipe organ that caught fire while she was playing. Her grandfather was the town’s namesake, François Mulét. The townspeople saw me running from the flaming church carrying the aforementioned Mademoiselle, and since then I have been known as Le Baron des Muléts as was decreed by the mayor for my most heroic deed! This would be a great story if it were even a little bit true, but it’s 100% true, so it’s better than a great story! Maybe one of the greatest stories ever told!!! Okay, full disclosure? This story is 100% awesome and also…. Might be slightly embellished/made up…. But seriously, if it was true how could you not vote for me?"

"Romans 8:28
And we know that in ALL things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."

"I always sported some gorgeous ringlet curls (all natural). On more humid days, I had a pretty rad afro. One day my older brother (the middle child) decided that he didn’t want me to have long hair anymore, so he found some nose hair-trimming scissors in the bathroom and took it upon himself to chop away. My mom cried at the chunk of curls she found upstairs, but we could no longer leave my hair the way Karson “styled” it. I wanted to leave my hair long, so we scoured the internet for some styling options and I chose a photo where the hairstyle was indeed, a mullet. Thus, the Kammander was born."

2024 Kids Contestant - Round 3. "Hello everyone! I'm Paisley Sugarman and my mullet's name is 'School in the Front, Detention in the Back.'

I got my dream femullet two years ago after scoring my first career goal in my first-ever ice hockey tournament. I play for The Philadelphia Freeze, an all-inclusive, special needs ice hockey team.

2024 Teen Contestant - Round 3. "They say lightning never strikes twice in the same place. However, I am hoping it does in my case. Becoming the 2023 USA Mullet Champion was one of the best times in my life, and I am hoping to do it again. It’s awesome that my mullet gets recognized when we are in town. They will say 'HEY!!! Are you the kid from the mullet contest?!' It is an amazing conversation starter. Most people are shocked to know how AC/DC is my favorite band or how some of my favorite movies are out of the 1980s: Back to the Future, Ferris Bueller. What can I say, I was born in the wrong era!!! What was just a thought in the Summer of 2021 with my dad has now become a part of who I am. I didn’t know how getting a mullet would give me confidence and meet some amazing people in my life. While I still have people trying to get me to cut my mullet off, there is nothing that can change my mind. The HurriKane is who I am. The Mullet is me. I am the Mullet."

2024 Adult Contestant - Round 3. "The year? 2021. I hadn't gotten a haircut since 2019, and I was desperate for a change. I had been wanting something with a lot of character and versatile, and there it was.. something called a 'fairy elf mullet' by my future hairstylist (he cuts it, I color it). The day I first got my mullet, I couldn't go back. I've had one ever since, each one slightly different from the last. I love experimenting with them and letting my hairstylist put his art on my head! Color-wise, I've tried just about every single one in the book, but green has always made me the happiest. I have always colored it myself as well.

"I started growing my mullet in Covid. Last summer, I had a bad barber cut a lot off. Now, when I get my hair done, I tell them to keep their hands off the Mullet. I’m very proud of my mullet and will never cut it. It’s a staple in my community.
Letttttssss Goooo!"

"Back Again ...I'm coming for that NUMBER ONE SPOT! Top 5 last year but we are here to beat that! After years of being told no, I took advantage of the COVID lockdown and grew out my mullet. Now it is just a part of my personality. What makes my mullet different is the length and natural curls. People pay good money for curls like this! I just wash and go! I am surprised by the number of people who know me because of my hair. Time to vote... you already know!"

2024 Adult Contestant - Round 3. "I was wrangling my gators and sharks like any typical Florida farmer does and suddenly a big ominous cloud appeared over my beach ranch! The skies began to part and this loud thunderous rumbling started to become music. The music intensified and all of sudden, Sweet Home Alabama began to play, clear as day. I got frightened cause all my sharks and gators were squawking and howling like mad! Then, as I was trying to get them into the barn for safety, a beam of hurricane-sized water thrashed upon my body from the heavens! I thought I was dead as I sprawled out on that sandy soil. But as I gathered myself and got to my feet, I felt a new swaggering energy pulsing through my veins. Long locks of hair now flowed where there had been no such hair before. I can’t describe how amazing it felt! As I began to smile and walk towards to barn, the thundering roar of Skynyrd slowly faded and two figures appeared in the sky. Kenny Powers and Keith Stone, two men I hold in the highest regard, spoke these words. Words I will never forget till the day I drink my last tall boy, 'You will now be now known throughout the Southlands as PANHANDLE JUSTICE!' And, just like that, a Mullet Champion was born."

2024 Adult Contestant - Round 3.

"I'm someone who considered what was appropriate for my corporate job whenever I had to make choices about my appearance. Then when the pandemic hit, I checked off a bucket list item - shaving my head. I felt so much freedom from what a woman 'should do' with her hair! After that, I started growing my mullet. Now as a middle-aged woman, Laverne represents finally expressing myself authentically. So to everyone in this competition, here's to 'Doing it our way!'"

"Hippie Hayes has been growing his mullet since the day he was born. Hippie got the nickname from a family friend who has also been rocking his mullet for 52 years! Hayes loves anything with wheels and an engine. It's been a natural love, which makes his all-natural locks that much more appealing.

At the end of the mullet competition last year, we presented Hayes with two choices: give the mullet a chop or let it continue to grow. Our determined and committed boy decided to give this mullet competition another go by keeping his luscious locks. This is our second year in the competition, and we are excited for the outcome. We plan to make it even further than we did last year. 🤘 I mean, look at those curls."

"Mason's mullet journey began in 2019 with an inspiration from an unlikely hero – Joe Dirt. The moment he saw that iconic hairstyle, he knew that was the look he wanted. With determination and patience, Mason began growing out his hair, dreaming of the perfect mullet. For almost two years, Mason nurtured his mullet, watching it transform into a symbol of his unique style. However, the road wasn’t easy. He faced bullying and hurtful comments, being called a girl and enduring taunts about having a 'rat's tail.' The negativity took its toll, and Mason made the heartbreaking decision to shave his beloved mullet. Regret followed. But when the world paused during the COVID-19 pandemic, Mason seized the opportunity for a fresh start. With newfound resilience, he came to us, his parents, and declared he wanted his mullet back, vowing never again to let others’ opinions dictate his choices. Now, four years strong, Mason's naturally curly mullet is not just a hairstyle – it’s a statement. Everywhere we go, his mullet garners admiration and respect. His striking look has earned public recognition from local news stations, the Savannah Bananas baseball team, and even our local San Francisco Giants team! For the past two years, Mason has placed in the top 10 of the mullet competition. But this year, he’s aiming for the top spot – he wants to bring home the gold! His mullet is more than just hair; it's a testament to his journey, his resilience, and his individuality. Mason has big plans for the future of his mullet. He dreams of one day donating his mullet to Wigs for Kids, where he has already made his mark by appearing in the calendar ad in the mullet champ calendar. But before he parts with his treasured locks, he has one goal: to clinch first place in the Mullet Champ competition. Mason’s mullet is not just about style; it’s about standing up to adversity, embracing who you are, and inspiring others to do the same."

"I am (still) Fully Committed to the mullet lifestyle and have high hopes for this season. To celebrate my third year in the contest and fourth year of growing my mullet I chose an evergreen as the background of my photo. Just like an evergreen, my mullet does not change from season to season it continually grows in all of its glory.

I really enjoyed campaigning last year with the help of my baseball buddies and look forward to working twice as hard this year!"

"I started growing my mullet on Saturday, April 3, 2021. I’ve gotten it trimmed and permed since then- because I like to keep it in shape.
I wanted a hairstyle that screamed 'Merica. I run cross country and track for my school and am known across my school as a mullet man, Reba, and the kid with the sick mullet. I am currently going into my Junior Year with a new license and girlfriend, and I am working to finish my Eagle Scout project and graduate from Boy Scouts."

"The mullet was born three years ago when my dad started growing his and I wanted to be just like him. It has survived two grade levels and a brain surgery and has become a big part of who I am.

2024 Adult Contestant - Round 3. "Like any epic cinematic hero, this epic Mullet is back! The Walmart Wolverine returns for his third season! Finishing out at 2nd Place in 2023, the only Tennessee mullet in the top 100 for two years straight, this Gallatin Mullet is back with his eyes set on that 1st place title. The Walmart Wolverine has been keeping the streets fresh for over 4 years now. He's been called many things. Terry, Ric-Shaw, The Mullet Man, but not one name stuck like 'The Walmart Wolverine' did. He wears his mullet like a cape of justice and honor. A symbol of support for local communities. What's his role in the local life? Eat, drink, shop local, and being an avid supporter of our veterans. Doing what he can to make sure they are taken care of and proper respect is given to their fallen brothers and sisters that paid the ultimate sacrifice to defend the freedom of this country. This mullet is more than just a fashion trend, it's become a staple in my community. I owe it to my fans and my veteran supporters to push even harder this year. This year, the title of #1 Mullet in the USA will come home to Tennessee where is belongs."

""School's Out for Summer: The Epic Saga of a Mountain Rescue Mullet"

In the midst of Covid chaos, amidst the towering 14,179' peak of Mount Shasta, there emerged a hero - not in spandex, nor with a cape billowing in the wind, but with a majestic mane flowing behind him. Meet the legend himself: the United States Forest Service Mt Shasta Climbing Ranger, armed not just with ice axes and rescue gear, but with a mullet and a mustache that could rival the most daring of adventurers.

Picture this: the year is 2020, and while the world is in turmoil, our ranger is out there, battling the elements, rescuing ill-prepared climbers, and charming crystal-loving hippie babes with his rugged charm and flowing locks. But it wasn't all just daring rescues and flirtatious encounters; there were moments of true peril too.

One fateful night, under the cloak of darkness, our hero found himself suspended from a Blackhawk helicopter, his mullet catching the wind as he was lowered onto the treacherous slopes of Mt Shasta. It was a scene straight out of an action movie, only this time, the star of the show was the mullet.

After five years of ranging in the wilderness, our ranger decided to hang up his climbing gear and settle down with a pretty gal, having two mullet sporting sons. He traded in the adrenaline-fueled adventures for the equally wild world of teaching and parenting. But fear not, for the mullet did not retire with him; instead, it found a new purpose in the halls of Mr. Paul's 5th-grade classroom.

As our hero walks into the classroom, the children's eyes widen in awe at the sight of his majestic mullet. For while the business up front commands respect, it's the party in the back that whispers, "School's Out for Summer," and beckons them to embrace the spirit of adventure and fun.

And so, dear friends, let us raise a toast to the mullet that defied the odds, from mountain rescues to fifth-grade classrooms, always reminding us that no matter where life takes us, there's always room for a little bit of adventure and a whole lot of fun."

"Killian's hair has never been cut in the back. He’s had beautiful curls since he was a baby. When he turned one, only the front of his hair was cut, establishing the start of his mullet. After that, he never wanted his hair cut (just the top). We’ve all grown so attached, and everyone knows him as the cool kid with the mullet."

2024 Kids Contestant - Round 3. "Since the age of 6 months, Bryson got the nickname Hammer from his dad! Even though his physical appearance is small in size, he enters any room with his presence known because of his strong personality!!! Hence the nickname 'Hammer.' Why be the nail when you can be the Hammer?!? At the age of 6, Hammer started to grow out the Hammer Hullet because he played baseball, basketball, and football, and everyone knew him on the field or court because of his hair and his athletic skills! (He was born to stand out)! In our town, kids from elementary to high school know Hammer for not only his hair but the kid who has the personality to pull off the Hammer Hullet!"

"Griffey decided in the summer of 2021 that he wanted to grow a mullet. Taming the beast isn’t always easy, but the result is worth the pain."
