Every time I see people on the street, I wonder if they know their hairstyle is terrible? Or is it possible that they think they’re the trendiest and coolest person ever?
My mother gave my sister and myself a very important life lesson: your hair grows back. She taught us a lot of things, but for this article, I’m going to focus on this lesson in particular. Why would she insist on it? My first guess is that she didn’t really know how to create those amazing hairstyles that were so fashionable at the time and sold us the idea that short hair was the edgiest style out there, and that no one had it because they weren’t as cool as we were. I know this might sound horrible, but it actually stuck with me, and that motto has led me to try as many hairstyles as are available. From the list I’ve selected, I have already tried about half of them. The others are just too awful, to the point that even I know they should’ve never existed. So, do yourself a favor, and don’t try any of these. Ever. It doesn’t matter if your favorite celebrity has rocked it: as the most beloved president in the world (not!) said once, “sounds good, doesn’t work.”

As someone who tried this look in her teenage hippie phase, let me tell you how thankful I am that phones didn’t have cameras back then. The worst part? I wasn’t even born in the eighties. Who thought that the business-in-front-party-in-the-back hairstyle was cool? I’m serious, who was the genius who came up with it? The problem with this haircut, besides the fact that it looks hideous, is that there’s no way of waking up from that nightmare but to chop off the long parts. So, please, just don’t do it. Yes, it grows back, but do you really want photos of that hair disaster?

The Rachel
worst hairstyles ever 2
This one isn’t as bad as the previous one (which, by the way, I think is the worst hairstyle of all time), but let’s put it this way: not even Jennifer Aniston liked it. In fact, she loathed it. Maybe you loved Rachel’s style back in the day, but, just like the first episodes of the series, it should stay in the nineties. So, what’s so bad about the Rachel? Well, everything, it’s neither short nor long, the volume makes it look like a helmet, and as Aniston mentioned in a recent interview, getting it to look good was a pain in the ass.
