Billie Eilish’s Mullet Is the Result of a Salon Mishap

From Ikea bags to oversized sweaters, Billie Eilish has continually played by her own fashion rules. However, for her latest serious style moment, the pop star has been forced to embrace an infamous hairstyle: the mullet.

During an outing this week, the topic of Billie’s new ’do caught the attention of a TMZ reporter, Cosmopolitan reported. We thought that perhaps Billie was taking a cue from the recent step mullet trend, but as she explained, a recent trip to the salon was to blame for some shorter sections of her hair.

“Somebody dyed my hair and they burnt half of it off, and now it looks like a mullet,” Billie told TMZ. “That sh*t is not on purpose, though.” To be fair, we think Billie looks great with the cut, but she told the reporter that she’s already working on growing it out.

Unlike her wardrobe of colorful tees and all-green ensembles, this is one look that Billie won’t be standing behind. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t rock the mullet. As some of our fave Insta influencers have shown, there are ways of incorporating a modern-day flair to the style, including adding some bangs or choosing a shorter bob version of the cut.

However, if you’re still keen on taking a cue from Billie, you can always look to the singer’s past hairstyles for inspo. Her neon green roots were made for recreating, and her space buns for the stage are also a fave (and an easy-to-DIY style), spotted on celebs including Selena Gomez and Ariana Grande.

Ultimately, whatever style you choose, we all learned a valuable lesson from Billie’s salon mishap: always be careful when dying your hair.
