Worst Hairstyles
- The Mullet: Let’s start with a classic contender for the title of worst hairstyle ever—the infamous mullet. With its business-in-the-front, party-in-the-back philosophy, the mullet swept through the ’80s and ’90s, leaving a trail of questionable fashion choices behind. Yes, have you noticed the mullet comeback? I mean, we will call it both the worst and one of the most popular cuts of today! Just like it’s complicated “business-in-the-front, party-in-the-back” style; it’s the worst,and the best all at once.
- The Rat Tail: If you thought the mullet was bad, prepare yourself for the rat tail. This hairstyle involved growing out a small section of hair at the nape of the neck, resembling the tail of a rat—hence the name. Popular in the ’80s and early ’90s, the rat tail is a prime example of a trend that should never have seen the light of day.
- The Bowl Cut: Imagine a perfect circle drawn around your head, and then imagine your hair being cut straight along that line. Voilà, you’ve got yourself a bowl cut. This universally unflattering style made its mark in the ’70s and ’80s and continues to haunt old family photo albums to this day. The bowl cut’s lack of shape and style is a recipe for disaster.
- The Mullet Hawk: Take a mullet, combine it with a mohawk, and you have the Mullet Hawk—an extraordinary fusion of two questionable hairstyles. The Mullet Hawk attempted to combine edginess and sophistication but ended up being a laughable mess. It’s safe to say this hairstyle was best left in the past.
- The Permed Mullet: Yes, the mullet is back on the list, but this time with an added twist—the perm. The permed mullet took the iconic business-in-the-front, party-in-the-back look to a whole new level by adding tight curls into the mix. The result? A chaotic explosion of unruly hair that defies logic and taste.
- The 2000s Emo Hair: Remember the emo era of the 2000s? This period gave birth to a hairstyle that was characterized by long, side-swept bangs that covered one eye. While some may argue that it was an expression of individuality and emotional depth, others simply see it as an overdone, angst-ridden mess.
Conclusion:
As we conclude our journey through the worst hairstyles to ever exist, it’s clear that fashion trends can be unpredictable, and what was once considered cutting-edge can quickly turn into an eyesore. From the mullet to the permed mullet and the infamous bowl cut, these hairstyles serve as reminders of the ever-evolving nature of style and personal expression.
While these hair horrors may have had their moment in the limelight, it’s safe to say that they are best left in the past. The world of hairstyling has since progressed, offering a myriad of creative and trendy options for individuals to experiment with.
So, the next time you’re feeling daring with your hair, just remember to approach with caution and learn from the mistakes of the past. And who knows, perhaps one day our present hairstyles will be the subject of a future blog on hair horrors!
