bless your heart, Kelly. I can’t believe someone thought it was Photoshopped, clearly someone under age 30 who didn’t live through this tragic hair era
I totally had this haircut in the 80s when I was about 8, I guess…. I asked for it on purpose because “Birthday Barbie” had the same hair style! It wasn’t my fault!!
This whole time I was thinking “bless her heart” and then you bust out with this one. I almost woke up my toddler who is napping because I’m laughing so hard.
Hello Everyone! Yep, it’s me – the rightful owner of the PerMullet thrown. Let’s clear up a few things:
1. I am a girl – and I don’t want a compound bow.
2. It is a perm.
3. The pearls were a gift.
4. It is not photoshopped – which is sad to think about really.
5. A PerMullet is the name I am sticking with because it creatively combines Perm & Mullet.
Thanks for your comments they are hilarious and glad you enjoyed the moment that captured my childhood.
If it was done with a curling iron, then why is the back so clearly frizzed out and flat? My money is on this being a Toni home perm and the person who did it didn’t understand the timing difference when perming long and short hair at the same time.

My money is that girl’s mother was a closeted beautician . My mother secretly dreamed she was one and loved perming my hair within a inch of my life. The only difference between us is this little chick doesn’t look Native American.
boy,Ithink we need a support group!Any catch names we could adopt for we the child victims of moms who tried their best but failed miserably as stylists?
To achieve a truly 1980′s “perm-mullet”, you had to do both the perm AND the curling iron. When done properly, the “business” part of the perm-mullet would be out there in all it’s 80′s Big Hair Glory. And if you were willing to spend the time with the curling iron in the back, there was one heck of a party going on!
i have a picture of myself about this age with a similar sweater and similar pearls…my God, if only the hair was similar, i would be QUEEN OF THE WORLD!

the guantlet has been picked up. Jillian saw to that.
something about her hairstyle screams out “80′s COUNTRY SINGER”
i just blew my funny bone. cannot laugh ever again. holy moly!
I wore that exact sweater when I was a kid. Happy to say I did not sport this entire “look.”
A new word in coined: permullet.
they should be using it on CNN soon.
I had a “perm-mullet” in my high school graduation picture, but this one beats mine. You win, Kelly!
I love Kelly! You have such a great sense of humor. And Permullet aside you were TOO CUTE!!!!!

Have you forgiven your mother yet?
“Kelly, the poodle sits in your lap, not on your head!”
hahahahaha!!!
Kelly wins. Game over.
This is freakin awesome!!
Boom!
checkmate.
bless her for sending this in. I thought I was the only one who ever sported the permullett.
Aw man, KA-LASS-IC. I was totally dyin when I saw that. “Permullet,” lol. Hall of Famer for sure. Dang.
i actually know someone with this exact hairstyle. not even kidding.
A female mullet is usually called a “fullet.” A “permullet” can be used for either gender.
The mouth bling just tops it all.
Is it just me, or do the curls follow you… no matter where you go?
Do you double-dog dare me?
triple dog. do it.
QUADRUPLE DOGGY DARE YOU!
Kelly, you are my new hero !!!
Mullet Haiku:
Business up front
Party round and down my back
Billy Ray’s my Dad
Funny funny.
The BEST haiku ever!
You win.
DANG DUKE
Somewhere Miley is thanking her lucky stars Billy Ray didn’t have curlers.
Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!!
that permullet is SWEEEEET!!
Kelly was one of the smart ones; she was ready when she was invited to the Shirley Temple tribute concert…
I accept your challenge, but I’m having trouble locating my picture of the Mulletfro.
@MST – You must find your photo and share (please og please)
She wins.
I cannot and will not stop laughing at this…it don’t get no better…
clearly done with an curling iron not a perm

Great, is curling iron vs Toni home perm going to be the next compound vs cross debate? LOL

def a Toni at home debacle….
~I too was a victim of “toni”….~
I too was a victim of the Toni home perm. Only, I was 11 and had short red hair and ended up looking like Annie.
boy,Ithink we need a support group!Any catch names we could adopt for we the child victims of moms who tried their best but failed miserably as stylists?

the pearl necklace is a nice touch
Amazing.
This could also be labeled as a shmullet (she-mullet)
Curling Iron Gone Wild!
or maybe
Sponge Rollers Gone Wild!
You’re still a cutie, Kelly. Have you forgiven your mother yet?
High on cloud, the littlest angel giggled over her rockin’ new look.
A-do-ra-ble!
Angel up front, party in the back. A-do-ra-ble.
Game. Set. Match.
Why would a kid wear peals with a sweater? This is obviously shopped.
Because that’s how her mum dressed her up! Why would you assume it is photoshopped?
Kelly, you are a Winner in this contest.
No, this is obviously the eighties.
i have a picture of myself about this age with a similar sweater and similar pearls…my God, if only the hair was similar, i would be QUEEN OF THE WORLD!
Why do you have to be so Critical Trish? Are you saying you have the best clothes known to man?
She does have the best peals.
And we all salute them proudly with decadence, bad pictures, and SPANDEX!
I also have a similar pic, but mine was just a flat mullet. I think the pearl strand might be attached to the collar…mine was! Oh yeah!
He is going to have a compound bow when he gets older!!
that is a girl…
And she is dreaming of her very own compound bow.
yeah.. and lame compound bow joke too.
it should be like “shes hiding a compound bow inside those curls”
that is a lamer compound bow joke…
um what’s a compound bow?
don’t worry May, I don’t know either…
Whooo! We got party in the front and back over here!!!
Permullet? Oh Kelly, that’s priceless!!
Kelly…drop the mic and walk off the stage…cause no one can top that permullet. Its Brilliant!
ya know whats so awkward to me about this pic? i have a picture of myself very similar to this… or was that my bowl haircut?…..
I’ve had both; permullet and bowl cut…. Oh boy!
