Curly Mullet with Disconnection

A curly mullet with disconnection cutting course for barbers. Learn how to remove weight from frizzy curls and create a modern, easy-to-style haircut with tapered sides.

About the course

The Curly Mullet with Disconnection is a modern men's hairstyle that combines tapered sides, a long nape, and a heavily textured top built on a square layer. The course shows how to take heavy, frizzy curls that have lost their form and turn them into a dynamic, easy-to-style-daily haircut with a clear separation between the nape section and the rest of the hairstyle.

Kacper Trzaskowski guides you through the entire cutting process, from a thorough analysis of head shape and curl type to a simple division into four key sections. You'll see how he works with intention to build the square layer on top to remove weight and flatness at the crown, then creates deliberate disconnection between the occipital zone and the nape. Work on the sides is graduation prep for precise clipper tapering, which refreshes the shape without widening the client's face.

In this course, you'll see

  • The square layer technique at 90-degree elevation, which removes weight from the crown and gives curls lightness without excessive frizz
  • Intentional disconnection creation at the level of the occipital bone - why this is the key to a haircut that's easy for the client to style every day
  • The full process of clipper tapering the sides: from guard #4, through creating guidelines, to final cleanup with the trimmer and line-up
  • Working with the graduation technique on the sides as the foundation for clipper graduation - how to prep the canvas for the perfect taper
  • Cutting the fringe using the circle-shaped line technique, which naturally works with the client's forehead and allows styling straight down or to the side
  • Final styling step by step: from applying gel to wet hair, through diffuser drying on low power, to finishing with glue for pliability and texture

After this course, you'll start working confidently with curly hair, turning its weight and frizz into an asset. You'll learn to use disconnection as an intentional compositional tool, and combine the square layer and graduation techniques into a cohesive system that lets you create modern, personalized mullets clients will love for how easy they are to style every day.
