THE much-mocked mullet was honoured in an annual tournament which saw proud owners young and old go head to head.

Kids, teens and grown fellas showed off their business on top, party at the back haircuts — popular back in the 1980s — at the 2024 USA Championship.

Kamden Cunningham, six, took the kids’ title with his epic “Kammander”, which he grew after his older brother decided to chop his long curly hair.

He said: “My mom cried at the chunk of curls she found upstairs, but we could no longer leave my hair the way Karson ‘styled’ it.

“I wanted to leave my hair long, so we scoured the internet for options and I chose a photo where the hairstyle was a mullet.”

A mix of public votes and judges’ verdicts saw Todd Grubb scoop the adult contest with his “Flow Motion” style.

Both he and Kamden walked away with a $5,000 cash prize, belt and GoPro Camera.

Others showing off classic styles at the tournament — held at the Indiana State Fair in Indianapolis — included Ian Botham lookalike Paul Edward Moore IV.

Meanwhile, Matt Rollings’ luxuriant locks flowed on to the back of his rollneck as he quaffed red wine.

Other eyecatchers belonged to Griffey Metz, Calvin Johnson, Matthew Ray and Kane Grissinger.
