when does the baby mullet go away?

Dumb question alert...

Call me vain, but I'm ready for my child to have more hair than the scraggly (but adorable) mess she's got going on at the top and the certified mullet in the back. 

I'm assuming I'm going to be waiting a while, but when do babies normally get a full head of hair?

    I would love to know the answer to this question.  Haley has just recently gotten a mullet bc the back of her hair is growing MUCH faster than the top/sides.  We're actually going to get her hair trimmed this weekend for the first time since she was born bc of this!!!!

    Scott asked me last night if we could cut Evies.  She still has her really dark fine birth hair on just the very back bottom of her head.  I call it the ducktail as that's what it looks like.  I SOOO want it to fall out!

    Ellie hasn't had a mullet, but she is rocking a mohawk these days.  The hair in the middle of her head stands straight up!  lol!

     Never.  Here is the P man at 11 months with his full on baby mullet. If he was a girl, I would totally have it in 2 little pigtails.

     I know and it's so much darker than the hair she has coming in on top.  The ducktail is almost black and the hair she has coming in is a light brown auburn color (red i know watch out!)  Is it bad I get embarrassed by it? The ducktail that is.

    andrew never had much of a mullet (not much hair) but he started getting some fuller hair (still not much) about 2 months ago.  i guess every kid is different. ha.

    i know a baby who was still practically bald at age 1!

    Tyson's ducktail has just recently started blending in better so it doesn't look so ridiculous!  LOL.

    LOL! Ella is finally growing more hair on the top and sides because she spends less time on her back as a result of being able to sit up unassisted. We noticed a big difference in her hair within a week of her being able to sit up!

    Jalen has the ducktail look and Landon still has no hair really. Landon has more hair than I did when I was a year old.

    Rose has a lot of thick, beautiful hair, but personally, I have noticed within the last few weeks that it doesn't look mullet-y, haha.  It's finally starting to look like little girl hair.

    marion's mullet just curls up.  when we shower with her, her hair is below her shoulders, but as soon as it dries, it curls right on up.

    15 mos, no end in sight.  I think if we cut it, it would look worse.  If we put, if she lets us put, bows in her hair it's not that noticeable.

    E is the same way.  It looks so cute right after a bath but then the next morning it's mullet time! :)
