Hair trends are an interesting concept to think about. Why does ombré and balayage suddenly sweep every lady’s mane some years? Why does everyone just decide to grow their hair long or completely cut it into sleek collar bone-length another year?
We’re still asking these questions, especially now that step mullets have made their way to The Gram this summer.
This hairstyle has been going around Instagram for a couple weeks now.

Some people are calling it the step mullet, or just steps.
They are definitely reminiscent of massive cement steps leading up to museums.

You know, where you have to basically leap to the next step.
The sharp and sleek 90 degree angled cut is kind of a mullet, but kind of bangs at the same time.

It’s like a beautiful trendy confusion.
They’re kind of like when you give yourself bangs when you’re 10 and your mom yells, “What on earth did you do!!!!” and you’re like “oh no, what HAVE I done” and then you have to start slowly growing them out.

I love this level of nostalgia.
Would you give these mullet step bangs a try? Let us know!
