Haircuts are like going to the movies. If you get a bad one, you canโt do anything about it but to ride it out until the end. But these people seemed to embrace the risk, shrugged in front of the menu before saying โSurprise me!โ Helicopters, portraits, and haircuts that are everywhere but their heads. We got them all and weโve seen them all.
We donโt know whatโs more amazing, the hairstyle or their guts to keep them on. Maybe you can help us decide. Here are 53 hay-wire hairstyles that are somehow amazing.
1) Money on the mind
Yikes! We donโt know whether to scream or be in awe of this beyond-interesting hairstyle. His head was transformed into a Louis Vuitton purse that unzips and spills money. Actually, we donโt care how creative this isโitโs just too creepy.
2) Helmet?
Nice helmet, dude! Oh, waitโฆmy bad. Weโre not even sure what is actually going on here. This isnโt his natural hairline, so, was it tattooed? Is it painted? Weโre so confused! And also, the most important questionโwhy?!
3) Strawberry fan
Weโre just crossing our fingers in hopes that this was either an April Foolโs joke or a Halloween costume. But, itโs probably just a hairstyle that he wanted to wear for shock value. Not only is the strawberry-themed haircut ridiculous but he had to get his facial hair involved too.
4) The (almost) literal rat tail
Not only is this guy rocking a rat tail but he has the silhouette of an actual rat to complement the tail. Weโve got to hand it to him for creativity. Weโre hoping it was just a joke?
5) Mullet with teased bangs
Oh, school photos. When weโre younger, weโre usually at the mercy of our parents. Wearing whatever they want us to and having our hair done the way theyโd like. Apparently, the go-to choice here was giant teased bangs and keepinโ it long in the back.
6) The scary portrait
We donโt know who this man is that has been shaved into the back of this guyโs head but itโs slightly terrifying, to say the least. Is it someone he knows? Is it a celebrity? Is it himself? All we have to say isโyeesh.
7) Straight bowl cut
Oh, the bowl cut. They were so popular in the late 80s and early 90s for some godforsaken reason. This young girl now has documented proof that she definitely had one. It literally looks like someone put a bowl on her head and just cut. I guess it makes for easy hair care!
8) Even Justin has made mistakes
All of us have had a bad haircut or style in our lives. None of us are exempt from thatโeven Justin Timberlake. Just remember, at one point, he decided it was a good idea to rock some cornrows. Weโre glad he let that go.
9) Helicopter hair
Weโre almost a loss here with this funky hairstyle. Weโre not even sure how they were able to pull it off! But, it appears that this girl really wanted her hair to take flight with a style that mimics a helicopter.
10) Hearts
This guyโs actual hairstyle really isnโt the issue here. Sure, his long flowing locks arenโt everyoneโs cup of tea but itโs his body hair that has us scratching our heads and shielding our eyes. He seems quite smitten with his look, too.
11) A treat for later?
Now, hereโs a hairstyle that prompts one question after another. First off, wouldnโt this be heavy? How does he sleep with those in there? Wouldnโt they start to melt and become sticky after a while? Weโre not really sure what this guy was thinking but at least he has some hair color.
12) Award-winning mullet
Wow. Justโฆwow. This guy is rocking the mullet of the century. Check out how long and lush that blonde hair is in the back! And for the front? He went for a straight military-style buzz cut. And the best part? He looks so confident!
13) Not quite done
Weโre not sure if this was intentional or not but this guy (is this a mugshot?) has only about a quarter of his hair in cornrows while the other three-quarters are straight afro. If we had to guess, maybe he was interrupted while getting his hair braided.
14) Racing fan
Againโnot a haircut but too zany not to share. What does a major car racing fan do when they have enough back hair for a dozen men? Shave in your favorite carโs number, of course! We wonder what his wife really thinks about this.
15) Krusty the Clown?
If youโre a Simpsonโs fan, you might really get a kick out of this one. It appears this man walked straight into the barbershop and asked for an exact replica of Krusty the Clownโs iconic look. Itโs quite the style.
16) Why? Just why?
Imagine crawling inside otherโs peoplesโ brains for even just a moment. It would probably be the most frightening thing ever. Take this guy, for example. For some insane reason, he wanted a guy pooping to take the focus of the back of his head. *facepalm*
17) Are these bangs?
Oh, the late 90s. What a time. If we had to guess, his favorite bands were probably Slipknot and Korn? Either way, his choice of hairstyle for his school photos is quite something. All buzzed except for the bangs, which in turn, have been secured in the iconic multiple-rubberband look that so many people liked back then.
18) Spiky
Punk rock meets โwhat the heck is going on here?โ This guy probably goes through a lot of hair gel or mousse each time he wants to leave the house. Spikes in every direction with a little half curl in the front. Wow.
19) Blush brush?
Although this guyโs flat top is impressive due to its sheer height, we have to say that it bears an uncanny resemblance to a makeup brush. How much time did it take to grow this out and get it to stay so perfectly stiff?
20) What is happening?
What is with involving the facial hair to be a part of an already-ridiculous look? This guyโs hair isnโt even bad. Itโs the strange hairline that heโs shaved and even weirder connection the facial hair thatโs throwing us for a loop.
21) Spirit animal
Weโd like to know the thought process of this guyโs brain. Maybe we donโt. But either way, what happened here? He longed to have his head match the pattern of his spirit animal, the leopard? Good thing hairstyles arenโt permanent.
22) Just let it go, dudeโฆ
Male pattern baldness is a fact of life. But, for some reason, some guys like to hold on to the hair they do have for as long as humanly possible. Take this guy, for example. Balding on top, but shaved the sides and kept the hair in the middle?
23) Hmmโฆ
I meanโฆwhen it comes down to it, this haircut doesnโt seem that crazy. But, you canโt help but think it looks like a chocolate Easter egg? Maybe an almond? Itโs a straight oval of hair on top with comb lines that are just a little too symmetrical.
24) Almost nailed it
Carving patterns and pictures into hair isnโt really anything new. In fact, they can sometimes come out looking really creative and cool-looking. This little boy was going for an Air Jordan look and came out with a cartoon-y version that didnโt quite hit the mark.
25) So much happening here
My Little Pony fans might really love this look but weโre thinking itโs a bit on the totally outrageous side. Although the pastel colors are quite lovely, how are you supposed to lay down at night with those dangling ponies in the back?
26) Tropical delight
Pineapples are delicious. Theyโre sweet and slightly tart. Theyโre refreshing. And they taste yummy when turned into a piรฑa colada. But as a hairstyle? Weโre not so sure about that. One thing is for sureโsheโs certainly making a statement!
27) Mullet to the max
Weโre not sure whatโs scarierโthis kidโs maniacal look in his eyes or the mullet with side steps. It even looks like theyโve left some tiny short little bangs in the front. The only saving grace is that this photo looks like it was taken 30 years ago when mullets were somewhat acceptable.
28) Dreadlocks gone wrong
Some might say that white guys shouldnโt try and pull off dreadlocks others donโt care (we sure donโt). This guy is marching to the beat of his own drum, thatโs for sure. But, weโre not so in love with all that scalp thatโs showing.
29) Out of this world
The amount of hair that is happening in this picture is pretty mind-boggling. He has so much hair in this (school?) photo that the entire fro almost doesnโt even fit in the frame. Again, thankfully, this picture appears to have been taken in the 60s or 70s when afros were present amongst all races.
30) So much emo happening
The emo haircut. So many layers. So big. So jet black. Of course, you have to have the side-swept bangs that start at the opposite temple. And the look wouldnโt be complete without a lip piercing and jet black eyeliner. The early 2000s to the fullest.
31) Oreo love
You guysโshe loves Oreos, okay? I mean, who doesnโt? But she really really loves Oreos. So much so that she dyed half of her head blue and stuck Oreo decals on top to represent the brand everywhere she goes. They should pay her for this type of marketing.
32) Oh, Donald
Mr. Donald Trump. The President of the United States of America. Whether you love him or you hate him, you have to admitโhis haircut and style is just absolutely horrendous. What is even happening here?
33) We donโt know where to look first
The faux hawk, the side patterns, the swirly facial hairโwe donโt know where to focus our attention! All we know is that the look on this guyโs face says โIโm loving thisโ and thatโs all that matters. Confidence is key when it comes to rocking a look like this.
34) A mugshot to remember
Two massive dreadlocks. Thatโs it. Thatโs the look this man was going for. Clearly, he isnโt exactly in his right mind considering this photo was taken before being booked into the slammer. But thanks for the entertainment, man!
35) Oh myโฆ
Hereโs another style that almost leaves us at a loss for words. Buzzed in the back, little spikes on top, faux sideburns, and bangs that look like a barcode. We just want to know how on earth he came up with this idea in the first place!
36) Side mullet?
Wow, wow, wow. So long, luscious, and curly on one side and so shaved and confusing on the other. He thought this would be an awesome look for whatever photos these were and now he has this photo to look back on for the rest of his life. And for us to laugh at for the rest of eternity.
37) You have something on your head
Have you ever wanted your hair in the shape of a chameleon hugging your head tightly? Yeah, we havenโt either but, apparently, this guy did! Again, the creativity is pretty great but we arenโt really sure about a day-to-day look.
38) Another full-blown rat tail
Remember that first rat tail we showed you on slide one? Yep, it turns out he wasnโt the only one with this genius idea. Hereโs another rat tail attached to a rat for you. Youโre welcome and we apologize at the same time.
39) Hat fro?
By the look on this guyโs face, it appears that heโs pretty proud of himself and his eclectic hairstyle. Is it a hat? Is it an afro? Itโs both! How did they get the brim to stick out so perfectly like that?
40) Mustache bangs
โShave everything but the tiny locks of bangs in the front, please,โ is what this guy must have said walking into the barbershop. It looks like he has an old-timey mustached attached to the top of his head. It really is quite the look.
41) So much happening here
He just had to take a mirror selfie to make sure he showed the world his outrageous-looking haircut. Itโs like he walked into the barbershop and said, โYou know what a broom looks like? Yeah, letโs try that.โ
42) Halo?
After scrolling through all of these haircuts we just have to wonder what the heck is going through these peopleโs minds. Do they really think these look great or are they just messing with us? This guy went for a real โhalo-around-the-topโ look.
43) Orange on the top
โGo ask that guy wearing the orange beanie, oh waitโฆโ That is not an orange hat, ladies and gentlemen. That is simply a very bad decision. Such an interesting statement to make but at this point, weโre questioning everything.
44) Wait, what?
Is this girl wearing a wig on top of her hair? Weโre so confused by the thickness and height of this that weโre not entirely sure what exactly is going on. In addition to the ultra-thick bangs and top, the sides are shaved which makes it look extra odd.
45) Mullet 2.0
This guy opted for a look that is a mullet butโฆupdated. Heโll just go for a slight ponytail look in the back and shave the rest of it. At this point, we donโt know whatโs happening in the world anymore.
46) No. Just, no.
We arenโt real fans of this look one bit. Thereโs some weird green going on in the middle. Some dreadlocks that are very unkempt. And they are sticking straight up like a pineapple but a pineapple thatโs gone horribly wrong. Yucky.
47) Straight up
We have a feeling that there are a million school photos from the early 90s that look similar to this one. We donโt know if his parents did this to this poor kid or if he begged them for this cut and they gave in. Bet they werenโt counting on the internet to exist in the future.
48) More barcode bangs
You guys, Iโm not sure if I want this guy out on the streets protecting and serving us when he makes haircut choices as bad as this one. It looks like you can scan his bangs with a barcode scanner. WHY?!
49) Cotton candy, anyone?
We just canโt put our finger on it but for some reason, this personโs hair makes our mouths water for some cotton candy. Either that or long for our childhood troll dolls that we used to collect.
50) Sprouting plants?
What on earth could she have walked in and told the person at the salon? โI want long-ass bangs and three locks of hair that stick straight up like wheat growing in a field.โ What does it look like from the front?
51) Straight scary
Have you ever wanted to have a style that says โI love rams!โ Apparently, this guy did. His hairstyle is quite frightening, really. We donโt like it. We donโt like it one bit. Letโs just keep scrolling to the next oneโฆ
52) Bob Ross!
Even though this hairstyle is absolutely 100% ridiculous, itโs actually freaking amazing because who doesnโt love Bob Ross? He turned a little bit of his afro into Bob Rossโ afro and he honestly deserves a round of applause.
53) Can you spare any change?
Why? How? What were you thinking? The questions are endless with this one. I guess if thereโs one perk to this, sheโs always prepared if she needs to feed a parking meter or grab a quick snack out of the vending machine.
Crazy cool or just plain crazy? Some of these are so bad, theyโre pretty amazing! Share this with your friends and family and listen to their crazy hair stories!
