Haircuts That Are So Hairribly And Hilariously Tragic

Many people have has a bad hair day, month, or year. We've probably fallen victim to the infamous bowl cut, blonde highlights that end up turning orange, or a mohawk that is so high it touches the ceiling.

These moments in time are learning experiences. As we get older, our haircuts usually mature and become more normal and appropriate. Unfortunately, some people don't get that memo and maintain awful haircuts all the time but at least we get to laugh about it.

I don't know what this guy was thinking, but my god, this is just awful. He literally looks like he dips his hair in McDonald's fries grease and then gives himself a finger gun in the mirror and he's out the door.

This is just a tragic haircut, but to each their own, I guess? Maybe lay off the hair gel just a tad, or don't if you want to get some weird stares.

If you ever saw this style of haircut walking through the hallway you immediately would try to avoid eye contact.

This is the hairstyle of someone who would have no problem spitting on their English teacher and then doubling down on the principal. This haircut screams "daddy issues" from the tallest tower of this kid's small southern town. If you're as uncomfortable as me looking at this picture, just go to the next page please.

Oh boy. It's the mohawk guy who overdoes it, smells like hairspray and body odor, and yells profanities at the librarian.

This haircut could kill someone. This is a weapon of mass destruction and it's not something to joke around about. If you're an enemy, you need to stay away from this battering ram. If someone needs a sharp object to pry open a door, or cut a diamond, this kid's hair is available.

Did A Cat Lick His Hair?

Honestly, I cannot stop laughing at this picture. It's actually hilarious. Does this guy not have ONE person in his life who can say, "you know what man, I think that you should maybe rethink your haircut before you put it on a billboard."

ADVERTISEMENT

He literally looks like a cat has been licking it for four hours prior to getting this picture taken. A guy looks like he glazed his hair with sweet and sour sauce just ahead, and now I want chicken nuggets.

Okay, so let's get past the fact that he looks like a jailbird out of a Simpsons' episode.

His hair makes me crave a water park. I feel like every time I look at this picture I want to slide down a water slide or take a ride down the lazy river. I don't know. He does deserve some serious creativity for this. He wins the award for "most likely to look like Hulk Hogan after he ate too many lemons."

I don't know what this guy said to his barber, but I have a feeling it was a very bizarre conversation.

ADVERTISEMENT

He probably showed him a Tetris piece and said, "make me look like that." This is a great haircut for sitting in an airplane, and an awful haircut for trying to put on a hat. The great news is that kids can hide in his hair on a sunny day to ensure some shade. You win some and you lose some.

Grease: the Musical called, they want their hairstyle back. Actually, that's a severe injustice to even compare the two, because this is just atrocious.

It looks like he glazed his hair over with some sweet and sour sauce. I'm now craving some chicken nuggets, so thanks TSA man. Have you ever seen a haircut that makes you look like a Monopoly piece? Well, prepare yourself for what's coming up because it's a doozy.

This is what happens when you pass out at a party and let your friends draw all over your face with a sharpie.

Oh wait, nope, this guy literally wants his hair to look like that. There's something oddly satisfying when you look at this picture. He should at least be asking the marker company for sponsorship or something. Sharpie called, they want their new mascot back, I think, kind of.

I kind of get emotional looking at this picture. The fact that the hair is separated by a moat-type distance makes me think the hair miss each other.

ADVERTISEMENT

What we forget is that the top and the bottom of our hair are friends. This is like removing a kid from a family and sending them across the world. They miss each other. When they miss each other, it's for good reason. It means you look like garbage.

I don't know what the heck is going on in this picture, but there's a part of me that actually respects the cleanliness of it.

There's not a single strand of hair that is out of place. It's the perfect little ball that makes him look like if he passes "GO" he'll be rewarded $200. Coming up, a Shaun White lookalike if he was caught in an emo phase and it's not this ginger Monopoly piece.

A Little Hair Moustache

I think this guy missed the memo on the mustache on the forehead thing. He literally looks like he has Sherlock Holmes' stache just glued to his forehead.

ADVERTISEMENT

Either that or if you were to put a little face on his forehead, it could work as a middle-aged woman's haircut. That woman would be definitely calling for the manager at a dollar store over a 50 cent price change. Tragic.

Anyone who can pull off this haircut without being beaten up has probably killed a person or two. The fact that no one is making fun of this guy in jail tells you everything you need to know about the hierarchy and capabilities of this guy.

He looks like he's wearing one of those hair nets that the cafeteria ladies wear when they're serving you cold mashed potatoes and fries.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this guy look like Shaun White, the professional snowboarder, if he was still stuck in his emo phase?

This guy looks like he listens to My Chemical Romance alone in his bedroom and refuses to go downstairs and eat dinner with the rest of the family. Coming up, the perfect summer hairstyle that will make you want to grab the nearest fruit smoothie.

Confusion In The Front, Something In The Back

I know that a mullet is supposed to be 'business in the front, party in the back' but this haircut is anything but. Looking at him is about as confusing as looking at a Sudoku puzzle for the first time. It's only easy for math nerds.

ADVERTISEMENT

There's nothing business-y about what's happening at the front of this guy's head. It's just straight up confusing to look at, not going to lie.

Hey, it's hard to blame the employees who were trying to get their work done quickly and clock out. We've all been there. If you have dinner plans at five, and the only way you're getting there on time is if you give your client a bowl cut, you do what you have to do.

This guy looks like he's Amish, but that's not even a bad thing. He should embrace the compliment and run with it. It makes him very different and unique. Right?

Everyone talks about the perfect summer hairstyle and I think we've found it. This is fresh, colorful, and breezy. If you don't hear tropical house music when you look at this picture, you're wrong, very wrong.

His hair makes me want to put him in my morning smoothie. I don't know, you might be making fun of him now, but just wait until next year when fruit haircuts become a trend.

This is the expectation vs the reality of having curly hair. This girl looks like she has a bunch of curly fries hanging from her head.

ADVERTISEMENT

I'm not going to lie, those look like some pretty delicious curly fries. If someone has some ketchup, do you mind tossing it over here? I'm not even hungry, but if someone is dangling curly fries in front of your face then you take those suckers.

I don't know what this guy was going for in his graduation pictures, but I don't think this was it.

He looks like he's about to enter a dog show as a standard poodle, and honestly, my guess is that he would probably win. He looks perfectly groomed, and he even has the model face for when he gets trotted out beside his owner. His hair makes him look like he has the cutest dog ears of all time.

The Tomat-NO Haircut

Not only is this haircut aesthetically not pleasing, but it also segregates a big portion of the population. Why? Because tomatoes are a very divisive FRUIT (yes, fruit). Not a lot of people like the red rocket and others are allergic.

ADVERTISEMENT

There's a huge slice of the population that can't be near tomatoes. If your hair is a tomato, you're not giving yourself the best chance to make friends. Change it up.

What Is That?

There's nothing really to say about this. This haircut is completely normal for someone who doesn't care about their hygiene. I don't even want to imagine what it smells like.

It's THICK. Look, it's not even their fault. I bet they could wash this every day and it still wouldn't smell any better. What's the dandruff situation here? I'm itchy just looking at this picture. I can't imagine having it follow me around everywhere I go.

If she was a TV remote, she would always be on high volume. That hair looks incredibly difficult to climb. Hikers get all nervous about going to Mount Everest, but they should maybe try to scale this woman's haircut first.

This could be the eighth wonder of the world. Move over Stone Henge, this lady has a structure that is more worthwhile to look at than you. Don't even get me started on her eyebrows.

This guy looks like he has two sacks of, uh, something on either side of his head. I don't want to be the one to point out what part of the male anatomy it looks like, but it's definitely not an elbow.

He kind of looks like Princess Leia if Star Wars was only allowed to have an all-male cast. I'm sure he'll grow up to look back fondly on this picture, and hopefully, his braces don't follow him into adulthood.

It's very possible that this kid just went to Jamaica on vacation and stayed in a tiki hut and wanted his hair to look like the roof of one. Wait for it, ah, now you see it.

You know those roofs that are spaced out like this, and are usually made of straw? Hey, maybe there's some structural benefit that this kid is going to have. Those tiki huts can survive through even the worst hurricanes.

How Does This Work?

Okay, so besides the fact that this guy looks like some sort of alien, I think that he's actually an alien. Here me out on this. How does he have that much hair growing on the face-side of his ears?

I've heard of sideburns, but this is like, side third-degree burns. Okay, I'll work on the reference but I'm sure you get my point and see why this picture gets harder to look at the more you stare.

There's nothing wrong with being a big fan of space. This kid wanted to look like his favorite planet and there's nothing wrong with that.

If you think about the practicality of this cut as well, it starts to make more sense. Think about everything you can hold on your head. Heck, you can even pour some milk and cereal in on the top. This will save you so much money on bowls.

The Balding Hippie

If you have thick enough hair to wear dreads, you're very lucky. This guy has a confusing hairstyle, though. First of all, you have to be wearing a Bob Marley shirt if you're going to be white and have dreads.

But, the bigger issue is that he has long hair and has a balding crown. This couldn't be a more counteractive combination so close together. Very bizarre for everyone around him.

It's really sad to see business people with advertisements and horrible haircuts. You know he's powerful because if he wasn't, someone would've told him that having a parted hockey puck on your head isn't chill.

ADVERTISEMENT

It looks like he has a bunch of "yes men" that surround him constantly. It would've been beneficial to have his wife come and buzz it off while he was sleeping. It may have been the only way to work it.

Look, it shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that people can't always figure out how they want to wear their hair. They go back and forth between blonde and brunette because "blondes have more fun" and "brunettes are classy."

This girl was making sure that she was going to cover all of her bases by going with blonde in the front and brunette in the back. She's fun when you're talking to her, and classy when she's walking away.

If this haircut was food, it would be the appetizer. Why? Because it's not a full course meal just yet. It still needs a few more inches to really be on the entree menu.

Just wait until you see the golden mullet that's coming up in a few pages. You'll really understand why this is only the appetizer once you lay your eyes on the filet mignon of long mullets. It's glorious.

I don't know why, but I really want to call this guy "Dragon." Don't you feel like if he wasn't a human and had to be something else, he'd be a dragon? He's just so majestic.

Either that, or he's an up and coming rapper that sells out shows in his own basement and live streams it on Instagram. If no one else gets that vibe then you're living under a rock.

Joe Keery, one of the stars of the iconic Stranger Things franchise, might be best known for his iconic flow. His hair was such a part of his character that he even had a rant with Dustin about just how he pulled off the look. But it looks like all the work wasn't worth it, so Keery decided to cut it all off.

Fans were noticeably upset with the new look, and now we're all wondering what this means for Steve in the next season. How do we go on from here Joe?
