"Hair cut ideas are typically drummed up in the salon, but recently a more unconventional source of inspiration has appeared: the vegetable aisle. Lettuce hair is trending. A gentler take on a traditional mullet, the new salad style consists of more subtle differences in the length between the back, sides and top of the hair. Lettuce hair features a loose and often wavy top, softly tapered sides and a feathery tail that skims the back of the neck, resembling leafy greens."
"The salad style stems from the world of ice hockey, where players widely embraced the mullet during the 70s and 80s. Despite the mullet's demise in the 90s, hockey players were slow to ditch the party at the back and instead toned it down, resulting in more modern lettuce locks. The classic sign of proper hockey hair is that you can clearly see it flowing out at the back while wearing a helmet, says Markus Ekroth, who is a right-winger for Sweden's Nackarockers."
Lettuce hair is a current hairstyle trend that adapts a gentler mullet with subtle differences between back, sides and top. The style features a loose, often wavy top, softly tapered sides and a feathery tail that skims the neck, resembling leafy greens. Celebrities and athletes like Jacob Elordi, Connor Storrie and Ilia Malinin have showcased lettuce styles in public appearances and competitions. The trend traces its roots to ice hockey mullets of the 1970s and 80s, which evolved into toned-down modern versions. Hockey players value visible hair flowing from helmets as a hallmark of proper hockey hair and identity.
