Bid on my stupid haircut. Donate to a good cause.

It's been a year since the last Mullets for Mental Health, which means it's time to offer you guys the chance to ruin my haircut once again.

The rules are the same as last year - make a donation, and as a donation message, write down what haircut you think I should get. Whichever option has the highest combined donations voting for it is the haircut I'll get at the end of the month.

However, I learned my lesson after last year when you people tried to make me get a skullet or a tonsure. So this year, the options have been pre-screened to at least not be utterly awful or impractical (e.g. dyeing long hair would've cost a fortune and taken all day). The options this year are:

- mullet again (shorter this time)
- mohawk (spiked up at least once)
- rat tail
- bowl cut
- pompadour
- cue-ball bald
- whatever Kim Jong Un's got going on these days
- "A normal haircut" - courtesy of Cieran, I have to go to a barber and ask for something normal, and I'm not allowed to say no to their suggestion

Wanna bid on something else? Sling me a message and maybe I'll add it to the list.

Stretch goals for total donation targets:

- $500 - I must keep the haircut for at least 1 week
- $1000 - at least 2 weeks
- $2000 - at least 1 month
- BONUS: Tomek wants me to get ridiculous, over-the-top, crazy coloured anime-main-character hair. I don't want to go through the effort, but if you can make me end the month at the top of the leaderboard, I will follow through. Don't vote specifically for this. If we hit the stretch goal I'll do this first, and still see about doing the "winner" afterwards. At the time of posting, this goal is $10.5k and rising. (https://www.mulletsformentalhealth.org.au/leaderboard)

Oh and work people, if you wanna make work donation-match, submit it ASAP so it gets processed before the end of the month.


With that all said, here's your pre-written spiel from the actual Mullets for Mental Health people:

I'm growing my mullet this April for Black Dog Institute's Mullets for Mental Health.

9 people in Australia die by suicide every day. Over 75% of mental health problems occur before the age of 25. 

My mullet and funds raised will help us drive real change and fund ground-breaking mental health research. This will put digital services and education into the hands of people who need it the most.

It would mean a lot to me if you donated to support my mullet.

Together, we can create better mental health for all Australians.

My Impact

This year I have helped provide

7,755

people with suicidal thoughts help when they need it most.

My Updates

Kim Jong Un cut took the win by a lot

Friday 2nd May
Turns out it's just a completely normal looking haircut that's a bit of a pain to style into a box shape.
