AFL’s most famous mullet has had a makeover.

Hirsute Bailey Smith, the most followed footballer on the ’Gram, has cut his famous (or infamous) mullet, and the look is quite something.

Hairdresser Joey Scandizzo has cut Vogue editor Anna Wintour’s famous bob, brushed the mane of Priscilla Presley, put tips in Ruby Rose’s pixie cut and styled Lindsay Lohan’s strawberry blonde locks.

But it’s Western Bulldogs Bailey Smith’s mullet that is the inspo behind the full-throttle trend of schoolboy mullets across the state.

Scandizzo says the midfield star is the expert in all things mullet, and that he can’t be credited with the most famous hair of the AFL, but he did give it a sharpen.

“He is the perfect footy player so needed the perfect cut. He has a lot of insight into how it should look, we just did the grooming” Scandizzo said.

The Dusty buzzcut, based around Instagram’s second most followed star Dustin Martin’s unique haircut, is all but a distant memory, with the mullet craze no longer even considered “ironic” anymore.

The Bulldog’s midfield star is not a skullet, which is a cross between a skinhead crewcut and mullet. But the Bailey bowl-cut-mullet could be considered an early Mother’s Day present, with every schoolboy soon to be pleading for the look.
