2. Joe Keery’s Hairstylist Tells Us How To Get His “Modern Mullet” From The Emmys
Well that didn’t take long. Mere minutes after stepping foot on the 2018 Emmy Awards red carpet Monday, actor Joe Keery was trending all over social media thanks to his can’t miss mullet. They say the red carpet is all about the fashion, but in this case, the Stranger Things actor was making waves with his mane… literally.
The inspiration for this “modern mullet” came courtesy of Keery’s hairstylist, Matthew Collins, who had to come up with a quick way to work with the actor’s epic 80s hair, which he’s kept in the retro style for his role as Steve Harrington on the breakout Netflix hit. Loving Keery’s mullet-inspired ‘do? Here’s how Collins did it.
