The Mullethawk

Another aspect of Ubrique that has baffles me, besides the dialect, are the haircuts. The most common haircut for a male Ubriqueno has come from some unknown dimension between mowhawks and mullets, thus manifesting itself as, what I like to call, the “Mullethawk.” The mullethawk requires the hair on top of one’s head to be gelled to a pointy ridge, while the hair at the back of the head is left to grow longer allowing scraggly curls to dangle from the nape of the neck. My heart yearns for a pair of scissors each time I see this rare quaff.
