“After running into a corner wall, Luke required medical attention which resulted in the side of his head being shaved!” his profile says. “To even things out we shave the other side, and Luke’s mullet was born! His mullet represents him well- a little bit Redneck and a lotta bit wild!”

9-year-old Francesco Rigato, of Fairborn, is also competing for the title.

Francesco’s mullet story started over Easter of 2020, his profile says.

“I needed a hair cut and everything was shut down. My mom trimmed the top, but was afraid to cut the back with my curls,” his profile stated. “When shops started to open back up, I liked my long hair, so my stylist, Ron, said, ‘Lets do a mullet!’”
