COPENHAGEN \u2014 Business in the front, party in the back.<\/p>\n

A packed Danish crowd celebrated on Saturday the much-maligned but enduring mullet hairstyle, defined by very short hair at the front and longer hair at the back.<\/p>\n

Denmark\u2019s raucous 2026 Mullet Championship, presented on an outdoor stage in central Copenhagen, attracted 12 well-coiffed competitors and more than a thousand spectators to the evening\u2019s \u201cmane\u201d event.<\/p>\n

Organizer Steffen Stiw Weber, a 37-year-old electrician, said the championships, now in their fourth year, began after he had a hair transplant and chose to grow out a mullet.<\/p>\n

After realizing he couldn\u2019t compete in a mullet competition in the United States because he wasn\u2019t a U.S. citizen, Stiw Weber started his own in Denmark.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was like, OK, I have to do it on my own here in Denmark,\u201d he said while smiling.<\/p>\n\n

Competitors in Saturday\u2019s championships were evaluated on their cuts\u2019 style, uniqueness, and overall performance and \u201cmullet moves,\u201d explained judge Bobby Agren.<\/p>\n

Contestants were given 60 seconds each to perform on stage to showcase their cuts.<\/p>\n

\u201cI like the finesse, the twist, the nostalgia. I like it if it looks ridiculous or maybe ugly in a beautiful way,\u201d said Agren, who owns two hair salons in Copenhagen.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think in our culture, when everything must \u2026 be perfect on social media and everything like that, I think that\u2019s why people have to stand out from the crowd,\u201d said Stiw Weber.<\/p>\n

The event featured an array of over-the-top performances, including beer-swilling, body-popping, and a live saxophone show. One competitor even wore a mullet haircut styled to resemble the Danish flag.<\/p>\n

The crowd screamed and chanted with their energy seemingly feeding directly into the various performers on stage.<\/p>\n

After every performance, judges held up scorecards to distribute points to the competitors.<\/p>\n

Forty-three-year-old construction worker Thomas Berg eventually took home the top prize after wowing judges by frantically jumping on a trampoline while clad in neon green gym wear. He completed his mullet haircut with an orange headband. \u201cI think it\u2019s just funny. It\u2019s just a big party,\u201d said a smiling Berg after collecting his prize. \u201cIt\u2019s just nice to be a bit outside the box.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though mullets have likely been around longer than there have been barbers, the Oxford English Dictionary cites hip-hop legends the Beastie Boys for helping popularize the term mullet with the song \u201cMullet Head\u201d on their 1994 recording \u201cIll Communication.\u201d<\/p>\n

The short-in-the-front, long-in-the-back coiffure was popularized by ice hockey players and \u201980s musicians, but later fell out of favor.<\/p>\n

Fashion magazine Vogue reportedly once described the mullet as \u201chistory\u2019s most divisive hairstyle.\u201d<\/p>\n

But in recent years, the mullet has seen a global resurgence – British magazine i-D declared 2020 \u201cthe year of the mullet\u201d as the COVID-19 pandemic shuttered hair salons and lockdown-weary citizens let their locks flow.<\/p>\n

Numerous mullet competitions are now staged around the world. Belgium hosted the European Mullet Cup last month.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt comes back every 20-30 years. There\u2019s always a circular motion in fashion,\u201d said Agren, the Denmark mullet competition judge.<\/p>\n
