The Little Book of Mullets (And the Art of Manely Maintenance)

You only need to look at the story of Samson and Delilah to understand just how important a man’s hairstyle can be. Thankfully, A Geezer’s Guide to Mullet Maintenance and Combover Care is the ultimate guide to choosing, growing, and maintaining a stylish, comfortable, and well-groomed “hair helmet.”

Packed with wit and practical advice, the book includes manly grooming tips; a breakdown of hairstyles to try—such as the Curtain Cut (aim to look like Johnny Depp, try not to resemble Worzel Gummidge) or the Quiff (channel Alex Turner of Arctic Monkeys, not Nick Grimshaw); a stroll through hirsute history; and a gallery of famous hair aficionados, from Albert Einstein to Paul McCartney (with a few questionable stops along the way).

Also featured are hair-related records (could you beat the “Longest Time Hanging by Your Hair” record?) and a celebration of the most ridiculous hair salon names ever devised—from Crops and Bobbers to Shear-N-Dipity.

The perfect gift for every man—from the metrosexual to those finally moving on from their mother’s bowl cut—this guide covers everything from taming a stubborn cowlick to expertly polishing a bald head.
