How does a Brit win the best mullet in Australia?
Graphic designer Rob Ayton snagged the haircut prize at the annual Mulletfest at Kurri Kurri in New South Wales.
Ayton said “It genuinely feels like it’s been a religious ceremony for me, Australia — you’ve been amazing,”
Ayton, 31, of Devon, claims he first got the iconic “business in the front, party in the back” style as a joke during an Aussie getaway three years ago, but soon found he liked being a mullet man.
Today, his hair hits his shoulder blades.
Growing a good mullet, Ayton said, takes “time and patience, and being able to handle a s–t ton of negative feedback.”
Mulletfest, according to its website, is a day that honors “the best Mullet cuts in various styles and categories, including ‘everyday’, ‘grubby’, ‘ranga’ (red hair), ‘vintage’, ‘extreme’, ‘international’ and ‘junior.'”
Contestants are judged not only on their hair but on their overall presentation and stage presence. All competition entrants are judged on their haircut, overall presentation and stage presence.
