San Antonio boy competing in USA Mullet Championship

When it comes to sporting a legendary hairdo, Avery Quiroz means business — in the front, anyway.

Quiroz, a San Antonio 9-year-old, is going for glory in the USA Mullet Championships with his "Texas waterfall" hairdo. The Judson ISD student, according to a report by local TV station KSAT ,  said that he was inspired to rock the iconic '80s cut to emulate an uncle he admires.

"It looks awesome when I wear my baseball cap on the field and it flows in the wind," Avery said in his bio on the Mullet Champ website . "Many love it and some hate it, but truth is they wish they can grow hair like this! It’s not fashion, it’s a lifestyle!"

Those who want to support Avery can vote for him online as part of the Mullet Championships. The first round of voting ends today. Voters can cast a vote once every 24 hours.

The contest will announce winners on Aug. 28. Victors will be determined in three age-determined categories: k ids (0-4, 5-7, 8-12), teens (13-17) and adults (18+).

The mullet competition serves as a fundraiser for Jared Allen’s Homes for Wounded Warriors, which provides wounded veterans with accessible, mortgage-free homes.
