There are few things as emblematic of The Hague as the mullet. Whether balding, curly, straight, gelled or matt, the mullet is a piece of The Hague’s heritage, its folklore and its traditions. It symbolizes a healthy dose of resistance to imposed norms in a world of endless, dull conformity.
The mullet is a striking hairstyle, short on the top and sides and luxuriously long at the back. It has been worn in all parts of The Hague for decades, but is especially popular in Duindorp, Laakkwartier, Moerwijk and Scheveningen. Designer Joost Nijhuis (1980) and photographers Daniël Heikens (1980) and Rein Langeveld (1979) have mapped the phenomenon in the Mullet Atlas, filled with portraits, maps, pictograms and statistics.
