Handsome Boy or Mullet Boy?

There has been a difference of opinion in our home about whether our son's hair is turning more and more handsome or more and more mullet. Because we have not been able to compromise or agree on a plan of action (aka haircut or no haircut) we are seeking your opinion.

Please let us know what you think - Keep it the way it is, or cut it quick!



Exhibit A - Handsome Boy





Exhibit B - Mullet Boy*








*For those of you unfamiliar with the term "mullet"- this is a term of art, not of science. Also known as "the ape drape" the "Shflb" (short in front, long in back) or "Business in front, party in back" This haircut is a classic piece of Americana that has graced many a demolition derby, lawn mower racing contest, and strongest man competitions. We aren't passing any judgments on this historic haircut- we just want to put the term "mullet" in appropriate context.

Yeah, I think it is looking more toward "mullet-esque" when it is dry with the curls and all- but he's still cute :-)

The curls are adorable!!!!!! I'd keep it, but my newborn has more of a mullet then Taylor does. He is adorable by the way!!!

i am not sure about the hair either way but he is so darn handsome. i love him inside your cupboards.

Personally I think little boys should be bald, but we can't all be so perfect. :)

I say keep it like it is until you can get a good lock of it to save. He's darn cute with those curls too :)

People comment on Jackson's 'patch in the back' all the time, but I keep it because it's not long enough to save yet. Maybe by the time he's 2, like Abygail, we'll give him his first cut and save the lock.

He looks cute either way, but I would cut it and save the hair for his memory book. The first haircut felt like such a big step for Brady.

I like it. Get the kid a 80's hair band t-shirt and let the little guy rock. Let the boy rock-

What to do? I like the handsome hair over the mullet (I just cut Olives mullet off last week), but he does have some cute curls. If you want it long, shaggy all over is cute on little boys. Good luck coming to a compromise.

My vote - cut it quick! Unless you want to frequent demolition derbys! Personally, I think they are great!
