TL;DR: is this hair achieveable or was it a product of extensions and scalp burns? No hate intended, just wanting to recreate it.
For starters, i’m looking to recreate this bad era look. I have type 3A curls so i’m hoping to try to recreate this “mullet” look. If I wanted to get my hair cut like this how would i word it if i didn’t show a photo?
I plan on showing a photo of this to my hair stylist and seeing her opinion on it, she used to do hair and make up for musicals and stuff so i’m hoping she will have an understanding on this hair style but would i just have them take my sideburns down to a 1.5/2? Is it technically fading into the curls?
I’m looking to do this WITHOUT getting a perm if possible. What I love about this era is that it’s not so jheri curled it looks like you have to fix it every 10 minutes, it feels “free” like and even like it has some “flow” to it.
So i guess the real question i’m trying to ask is, is this hairstyle still achievable? Was this so popular and good looking due to MJ’s extension use, was the thinness of the sideburns because of the pepsi burn?
I know that no one in here is Michael himself so the answers won’t be 100% accurate but looking forward to some good feedback, thanks!
