Cardi B Just Convinced Me To Try A Mullet

Once upon a time I scrolled upon Carolyn Gray’s perfect mullet and saved the post, inspired but not quite ready to make such a drastic change. How often would I have to hit the salon to maintain that cut? What would the grow-out process look like? Could I even pull off a baby bang? Almost a year later, I’m still not ready to make the commitment on my own hair but Cardi B’s wet and wavy wig reminds me that it doesn’t have to be permanent. I see a braided step mullet in my (very near) protective style future, and have resolved to plan my next trip to Atlanta around booking the bangs and body quick weave of my dreams.

Yes, I was in the crowd for Formation and On The Run II but every once in a while I fantasize about what The Beyoncé Experience might’ve been like IRL. In the spirit of yearning, Adrianne Reece dives into the performances that live in her head, rent-free.
