Modern Boho Chic Mullet with Skin Fade and Curly Texture on Off Black Hair

Image
source @louiblunthair | PELODELIK 05 | Quick Tips Face Shape There is a lot of debate on what face shapes can wear the mullet best. Personally, I would say oval, round, and square faces pull it off the best. If you have a shorter face, be sure to create volume in the hair at the top of your head to help elongate your face.

And, I love, love the layers and texture that give her hair an even greater abundance of dimension.
