'Lettuce hair'

Why ice-hockey style is in its salad days

- Chloe Mac Donnell

Haircut ideas are typically drummed up in the salon but recently a more unconventional source of inspiration has appeared: the vegetable aisle.

So called “lettuce hair” is trending. A gentler take on a traditional mullet, the more relaxed salad style consists of less obvious and more discreet differences in the length between the back, sides and top of the hair. Lettuce hair features a loose and often wavy top, softly tapered sides and a feathery tail that skims the back of the neck resembling leafy greens.

For the Wuthering Heights press tour, Jacob Elordi toned down his onscreen Regency cut, tapering the sides but keeping the windswept top and tail. The wavy locks of Heated Rivalry’s Connor Storrie have a very lettuce vibe while the figure skater Ilia Malinin’s butter lettuce locks add extra drama to the Quad God’s axels.
