The Most Tragic (And Hilarious) Haircuts We’ve Ever Seen

We've all had a less than ideal haircut at some point in our lives. Whether you were that person who thought that bangs would be a good idea when bangs were really not a good idea, or if your mom gave you a signature '90s bowl cut, hair can't be all good all of the time. That being said, some of us have had worse hair cuts than others.

You might have had a bad hair day, but these people have had bad hair years. Keep reading to see some of the most tragic hair cuts and hair styles on the internet.

Is That A Mullet?

Speaking of bad haircuts made worse, if you thought a mullet couldn't get any worse, you'd be incorrect. We guess this haircut is a mullet of sorts. it does have that business in the front party in the back vibe. However, the business in the front isn't even attached to the party in the back. There's a separation between church and state going on here.

Do you think this poor guy asked for this particular haircut?

It Looks Like He's Wearing A Hairnet

We're going to call this one the high school cafeteria lady haircut. It looks like this man is bald and he just stuck a hairnet on his head. Nobody's hairline is that low! This whole look screams combover, although, we've never seen a combover quite like this before.

ADVERTISEMENT

Anyone who can pull off this haircut without being beaten is probably a pretty scary dude. Maybe that's why this guy is in a courtroom being sentenced to some jail time.

Is there anything worse than a bowl cut. Apparently, yes. Yes, there is. You could be the unfortunate recipient of an uneven bowl cut.

ADVERTISEMENT

Hey, it's hard to blame the employees who were trying to get their work done quickly and clock out. When somebody comes to you asking for a bowl cut, you know the finished result is going to be pretty unfortunate anyway. Why put in the extra effort to make it straight?

Is That All Hair?

Is this bun made entirely of hair, or is there some kind of fluffy donut in the midst of all those strands? If this a perfectly coiffed ball of ginger hair, we have to give this guy some respect. This is not an easy look to achieve.

ADVERTISEMENT

There's not a single strand of hair that is out of place. You have to respect the cleanliness of this whole situation. Yeah, it looks ridiculous, but it's also kind of impressive.

That's One Big Mohawk

A mohawk is a very specific hairstyle, but a regular old mohawk wouldn't make this list of the most tragic hairstyles on the internet. A mohawk would have to be pretty extreme to end up on this list. We present to you exhibit A: a very extreme mohawk.

This haircut could kill someone. This is a weapon of mass destruction and it's not something to joke around about. How much hair gel do you think it takes to hold that thing up?

A Human Poodle Hybrid

Is it just me or does this guy look exactly like a standard poodle? He's got a curly mop on top with some long droopy sides that kind of look like dog ears. What is this guy graduating from? Obedience training?

ADVERTISEMENT

At least he looks perfectly groomed. If you're going to look like a dog, you might as well look like a well-groomed dog. He looks like he could win best in show if he really put his mind to it.

Too Much Hair For One Person

This is what happens when you get stuck in an emo phase for way too long and you feel too down on life to even get a hair cut once a year. This person looks like the kind of guy who still listens to My Chemical Romance in his bedroom (which is still in his parents' house, of course).

ADVERTISEMENT

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?

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.

Drawn On With A Sharpie

You can zoom in on this picture all you want but you won't find a single natural hair on this guy's head. It looks like the barber just drew all of his hair on with a sharpie, and he didn't even try to make it look natural. This is the barber equivalent of passing out at a party and letting your friends draw all over your face.

ADVERTISEMENT

Maybe he actually wants his hair to look like it was painted on? To each their own...

What Is Going On Here?

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.

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.

ADVERTISEMENT

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.

That's Not A Good Look

I don't know what is appealing about Danny DeVito's hairstyle, but this kid is absolutely rocking it.

ADVERTISEMENT

I think that this style should come back. We need to normalize it for kids because many of them will inevitably have that haircut when they get older. This kid hasn't fully come to terms with the cut just yet, but give it time. Coming up, a man who literally looks like he's been licked by a cat for hours on end. It's hilarious.

This Doesn't Make Any Sense

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Well, Spongebob lives in a pineapple under the sea, but this guy's brain lives in a pineapple all the time. Call me crazy, but this might be the perfect summer hairstyle. Yeah, it's unconventional, but it will definitely get you noticed. It's fresh, colorful, and breezy.

His hair makes me want to put him in my morning smoothie. If you like pina coladas and getting caught in the rain, this might just be the hairstyle for you.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with dreadlocks. Dreads look great on people who can pull them off. This is not dreadlocks. This is dreadlock— and oh boy is this lock full of dread. Look, just because marijuana is starting to be legal in a lot of states doesn't mean that you can just have your hair look like a joint.

This person looks like they have a shell on their back like some kind of giant cockroach. It's not cute.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
