Questions

Is the rat tail actually back?
It cycles. It has had a run every decade since the eighties and is currently doing the rounds again on social media, mostly worn knowingly. Whether that counts as back is between you and your barber.
How do you grow out a rat tail?
You cut it off. That is the advantage of it — the tail is isolated from the rest of the cut, so removing it leaves you with whatever short cut you were already wearing, on the same day.
