Firstly, Who Is Jay Jo?
Jay Jo is the main character in a super popular South Korean anime movie called ”Wind Breaker”. This is a South Korean Manhwa series written and illustrated by Yongseok Jo.
The point and entire focus is on Jay, who is a 16-year old high school student who loves to bike. He is a straight-A student who has a neat persona and a beautiful dressing style. Jay is often wearing dark trousers, a white shirt, and a red blazer.
The show takes place in South Korea. There are only three seasons, all captivating and fun to watch.
What Type Of Haircut Does Jay Jo Have? What is it called?
In the Web animated series Windbreaker, we can see Jay Jo almost always rocking a neat mullet. His hair is in that medium-long length range, with a lot more hair around his top portion.
His hair has some waves and volume, meaning that it is not completely straight from front to back, as it is with most Korean actors or movie characters. This mullet hairstyle is not that popular in anime, which is what makes Jay stand out even more.
However, in chapters 327-328 (Part 3 Episode 77 – Part 3 Episode 78) of the series, Jay Jo tries to cut his mullet hair and shave his head, which indeed garnered many fans’ attention.
Step-by-step Tutorial On How To Get The Perfect Jay Jo Mullet Haircut
It is important to find a hairstylist who knows how to cut hair. Go for someone who is skilled enough when it comes to men’s hairdos, volume, or mullets.
You can choose if you want your hair to be short at the top or short in the back. The only key point is to aim for asymmetry and that one part has more length than the other. You will end up with a layered look when done the right way.
Aim for shaved or buzzcut sides to complete the look. Here is how Jay Jo’s hair-cutting & styling process should look like:
Step 1: Make sure that you grow your hair below your ears or possibly to your chin length. It doesn’t matter what the color of your hair is, just aim for volume.
Step 2: Once it grows out, it is time to cut it in layers. Your barber will shave off the sides yet leave your top long and voluminous.
Step 3: If you want a longer mullet ask them to leave a bit more hair at the front, while also aiming for messy straight bangs (this is the exact look that Jay Jo has).
Step 4: Consider coloring your hair into a dark black shade to recreate his hairdo. If not you can leave it as it is and in your natural color.
Step 5: With just a bit of hair pomade you will get the exact same style. Swipe the product through your hair and you will add volume while making your bangs wispy and voluminous, yet your mullet sturdy for prolonged wear.
Who Can Wear the Jay Jo Haircut?
After seeing it on one of their favorite anime characters, women had to go crazy over this look! The truth is that younger men can easily pull it off.
Well, there are no rules when it comes to wearing, getting, or styling a Jay Jo hairdo. After all, it is a mullet that will hardly ever go out of fashion. As long as you can handle the maintenance and its upkeep, you should try it out.
Once styled and cut, it gives out a vibe of a younger effortless male, oftentimes making you look like you put a lot of time into your appearance. Women associate these cuts with sensual guys, as well as those who love to take care of themselves and their appearance.
PS: Be prepared for it since mullets are somewhat messy, and need to be cut every 3-5 weeks in order to look good.
How much does the Jay Jo haircut cost?
Your next hair appointment doesn’t have to be too pricey. As long as you book a trustworthy barber or hairstylist you will manage just fine. Make sure that you have around $50-$100 for this type of look.
PS: It is also important to have your hair on the longer side so that your stylist can truly create your desired look with ease and in the shortest time possible.
