Brad Pitt Mullet

When we think of Brad Pitt mullet hairstyles aren’t exactly the first things that come to mind. But years before the hunky actor made women swoon as he bared his chest in Thelma and Louise, he was just a regular small town boy who wore a variety of different hairstyles and trends as he slowly climbed the ladder into stardom.

From mullet to buzz cut, Brad Pitt is a hairstyle chameleon.

When Brad Pitt left the University of Missouri in 1982 just two weeks prior to earning his degree, he wasn't much different than the rest of the young actors struggling in Hollywood. While he had no formal training under his belt other than a few acts in a handful of fraternity shows, Brad had a gut-feeling he belonged in the movies. His blonde, shaggy hair was styled in a traditional mullet, which happened to be the style of the moment in the mid-1980s. Mullet and all, Brad landed his first few gigs in Hollywood without changing much about his appearance. He played a few uncredited roles in Less Than Zero, and Now Way Out, No Man's Land. With time and perseverance, Brad Pitt finally broke into bigger Hollywood business after he was cast a guest appearance alongside Johnny Depp in 21 Jumpstreet. The early years of Brad Pitt mullet styles can be seen in any of these films and television roles.

After Brad Pitt landed a few scene-stealing roles, he was cast in a few classics that required his hair to be kept long and shaggy. Interview with a Vampire and Legends of the Fall are just a couple of the movies that Brad famously wore long hair for in the mid 1990s. Not only were Brad's locks long and tousled, they were bleach blonde and surf-ready! While Brad's long hair days were short-lived, many of his greatest fans consider his long locks the sexiest of all his changing looks.

As Brad's resume filled and his love life with actress Jennifer Aniston made media headlines, he opted for a traditional cropped crew cut with a few well-placed highlights. This cut really worked with Brad's natural wave and helped the "bed head" look for men gain popularity. Over the years and his marriage with Jen, his cropped cut changed ever-so slightly and was often paired with varying beards and goatees.

After Brad's infamous break-up with Aniston and his scandalous courtship with Angelina Jolie, his look went drastic when he opted for a low-fuss buzzed cut. Brad's facial structure supported this bold cut, and his fans soon embraced the new face of Brad Pitt.

Today, the jet-setting parenting duo (Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie) both keep their looks simple and chic. While Brad Pitt still changes his goatee and hair length from time to time, it seems his exploratory days of hairstyles are over, most notably his mullet. Today it's all about playing it safe and maintaining his mainstream sex appeal.

While mullet hairstyles are often considered a hairstyle don't, some men and women still love the look of "business in the front, party in the back." If you're ready to rock a vintage Brad Pitt hairstyle and have the confidence and desire to pull it off, it can be done with modern flair.

Ask your professional stylist to cut your hair into a traditional mullet by keeping the top and sides short while leaving some length in the back. If you have wavy hair, your mullet will have a few more styling options. A blow dryer and a brush are all you need to style a mullet into its classic shape. Direct hair to the back as you dry the hair thoroughly. A little gel worked into your mullet prior to drying will help add hold and shine. For those who want a perfectly coifed mullet, hit your style with a shot of hairspray to keep it on the tamer side.

Wearing a mullet is all about confidence, and if Brad Pitt can do it, so can you!
