Earlier this year, a young boy from Texas went viral thanks to his hairstyle that screamed 1980s. The boy became known for his eccentric mullet, and now he may win an award for his awesome hair. He recently advanced to the 2022 USA Mullet Championship finals, where he will face some stiff mullet competition.
The “business in the front, party in the back” hairstyle may have been popular years ago, but it seems to be making a comeback with an unexpected group, children. The finalists for this year’s USA Mullet Championship finals were recently announced and one of the faces may be familiar to some. Epic Orta from La Joya, Texas is one of 25 children competing for best mullet in the country, and while his hair has given him internet fame, it’s no guarantee he wins the trophy.
According to New York Post, voting for the best mullet ends on Friday. The winner will receive $2,500 and plenty of bragging rights. Hopefully, Epic pulls out a win and makes Texas proud once again.
