According to Wikipedia, The mullet is a hairstyle that is short at the front and sides, and long in the back. Widely panned as a lowbrow and unappealing hairstyle, and facetiously referred to as "business in the front, party in the back," the mullet began making appearances in the popular media in the 1960s and 1970s but did not catch on with the general populace until the early 1980s. It continued to be popular until the early 1990s and has enjoyed a partial return to favor as a retro look in the 2000s
According to Care Bear, a mullet is what you get after you decide to butcher your own hair while screaming, "La-La made me do it!" even though you hold the incriminating scissors in your own hand.
Still crying and insisting La-La made her do it. I was pulling the same sad face behind the camera.
The end result after a professional did what she could without cutting it as short as Care Bear had attempted.
A little too happy with the end result.A few days ago, Care Bear told me she wanted me to cut her hair. I guess I should have listened and done it before she did!
La-La and Care Bear were banned to their room until it was clean when La-La came running down the stairs yelling, "Care Bear cut her hair!" and Care Bear was yelling even louder, "La-La made me do it!!" I held my breath just hoping it wouldn't be too bad and then I saw the big chunk she cut. I crumbled inside but held my cool. I called a hair stylist friend and she told me to come on over. At this point Care Bear was happy and loving the idea that she got to go with me for a real haircut. But when we got to my friend's house, she lost it and started bawling. To be honest, I didn't mind the tears; I wanted her to be sad so hopefully she won't ever do this again! I really thought we were going to have to cut her hair short all over but the professional managed to salvage most of the length by tapering the front sides. Care Bear now has bangs again which had finally grown out from her close encounter with scissors a year ago. Bangs with a mullet. Not my ideal haircut but it could have been worse.

It's not that bad...she looks a little out dated but I pictured worse. Little stinker....
I agree with Jen, a little outdated, but I thought recovering it would have been worse! It never ends with her does it? :/
It's also called a 'bi-level'...sorry. It'll grow back :)
So sad!!! Maybe she will become a famous hair stylist and make lots of money....maybe! So has her older sister confessed to telling her to do it?
I remember playing "salon" with Faye Earl. We were going to take turns cutting each other's hair. She cut my hair and we got caught before I could cut hers. I was so MAD!
