Javi Falcon is a 12-year-old boy from Quinlan, Texas. He attends Boles ISD and enjoys sports like football, basketball, jet skis, and dirt bikes. His mother is Maria Brown and stepdad is Shawn Brown and his father is Javier Falcon. He has a sister named Lileigh and a brother named Bentley.
“He’s been growing his mullet for a year,” Maria said. “It would have been longer, but we had to cut it because the other school district wouldn’t allow long hair on boys.”
Maria said Boles doesn’t have that rule, so they have since been able to grow it out.
According to the Mullet Championship website, this business-in-the-front, party-in-the-back style has been around way before it was popularized by actors and rock stars in the 1980s. According to some historians, the mullet has been around since at least Ancient Greece, where the style was as much for function as it was for fashion. Cropped hair around the face with long locks in the back allowed for both visibility and a protective layer of hair for your neck. Homer even described a haircut that sounds eerily familiar in The Iliad: “their forelocks cropped, hair grown long at the backs.” The Greeks weren’t the only ones sporting the mullet, though. There is evidence that Neanderthals and our oldest ancestors would wear this ‘do, as well.
