I'm happy to say that I've never had a mullet, even before I knew what a mullet was. My long hair is unfettered with the silliness of shaving the sides, or shortening the top, or any of that other nonesense. Um... I did have my hair layered on occasion back in the 80s, but that's not the same (really!). More of the rocker look.
Today, I pretty much just let it grow out evenly. It's a hell of a lot easier to put it in a pony tail if I need to, and it lays out better that way as well. It also makes the ol receeding hairline a bit less obvious. Unless of course I'm dong the pony tail bit, in which case I don't care anyway (going for a different look).
Now if I ever develop an actual bald spot (knocks on wood), I'll just have to shave my head. No way am I gonna be one of those dorks with the combovers, or the masses of hair going over an obvious bald area. Would suck though. I've had long hair pretty much my entire adult life...
