It's been a hairy year in more ways than one. Australia has seen influencers growing mustaches, civilians mimicking Chris Hemsworth's lockdown beard and various other bizarre grooming trends as a result of all the extra time we've now got at home.
Reaching fever pitch, Matt Damon this week shocked American fans by stepping out with a 'dirty' Australian haircut last popular in Europe and America in the middle ages. Suffice to say, we thought the world of male grooming couldn't get any crazier.
How wrong we were.
Taking the cake for the most 'confronting' quiff this year is 'the elbow haircut' or 'the dusty'. What's that, you might ask? A haircut that looks like an elbow (essentially, a version of the mullet, but with the top either fully shaved or extra short).
Rocked by Richemond Midfielder/Forward Dustin Martin, 'the dusty' is sweeping the country (as are mullets more generally, inspired by icons like professional surfer Mikey Wright).
It's not just Gold Coast groms and aspiring AFL players getting in on the action either, with DMARGE this week capturing a couple of fully grown men rocking 'the dusty' whilst ambling around south Sydney.

Though the snobs might recoil at such a cut, others – like Sydney barbershop owner Jacob Martin (proprietor of Tate & Lyle) say it could be evidence that Australian men are paying more attention to their mental health, with the 'mullets for mental health' month having just come to a conclusion.
As for the 'finer' details of the cut itself, Mr. Martin said, "AFL players seem to treat dirtiness like a trophy... [but] at least the mullet section has straight lines."
As for how to rock this look yourself? "The dirtier the better."
Even if it may be intrinsically associated with having 'a rude head', we'd argue men should be able to snipper their skulls however they want, and not obsess about what others think. Indeed, half the 'cool' factor of a new haircut trend (whether its a Faux Viking Hipster Undercut or a Peaky Blinders Special) is in its rarity.
Only problem is The Mullet Movement is 'growing' so fast it may soon lose its shock value...
