Your worst haircut?

[jenweaver]

Therre were some comments on another forum, a Prom Dress thread about hair, and I know I have had some BAD haircuts in my day so fess up ladies, what was your worst hair cut/style? Pictures are of course helpful!

At one time I had a shaved sides with bangs in grade 8 (I was a weird kid),
Later on in High school, I did the "mall hair". With way, way too much Aqua Net "Extra Super Hold"

I don't have a pic on this computer but I'll scan one when i get home.

right now-it's shave due to chemo

I agree. My bald chemo (worse than the shaved chemo) was the worst, especially after my eyebrows came off too. I looked like a cue ball.

Hey, at least you're both still here!!

I have my eyebrows so lucky there. Yes I am lucky to be here but have more rounds of chemo to go through.

Mine was the Dorothy Hamill when I was a teenager. My mother was the only one who loved it




Now if I was a figure skater is would have been awesome

I don't remember ever having a bad haircut. I prefer tradtional styles to trends, and my mom used to work as a stylist, so as a child/teen she always cut my hair and did a great job. Plus, I just have really good hair.

Now, I do remember once in fourth grade when she gave me a temp. perm (she rolled my hair on perm rollers, but did not use solution). I hated it so much that I didn't want to take my hood off in class, but the teacher made me.

My chemo buzz cut wasn't nearly as bad as the after-chemo hair! Buzzing off the hair was traumatic, but the hair after it grew in was horrendous! My hair grew back curly, and it grew longer in the back and top than on the sides. My hair was about 3 inches high on the top and 1/4 long on the sides. It was in a regular short style, but because it was curly it looked really bad.

Then when it started getting long I had "natural layers". Ugh, it looked like a mullet. It still does in a sense, but I can hide it because it's curly.

My mom, who can't cut a straight line to save her life, cut my bangs when I was a little girl. It was horrible. They were so crooked! Our neighbor was a former stylist so from then on she cut my bangs in exchange for homemade cookies. When I was old enough she taught me to how to trim them myself.

When I was in high school, I went to the beauty school for a trim and my hair was really, really crooked. To fix it, they had to cut off a few more inches and my shoulder length hair was cut to my ears! My face is not designed for that look, I assure you! I'm not anti-beauty school, as I'd had many good haircuts there (and at $5 it was a bargain), but since I moved away from my hometown there isn't a beauty school anywhere near here.

My mother took me at the end of my freshman year for what would turn out to be the worst makeover ever.

First invovled getting my skunk-do...I mean...my hair "frosted". Way before highlights baby--and yes, My hair looked skunky! The look would have been more complete if we dyed my base color black.

Then--they choppped and layered my hair into oblivion.

Now--I tell you--my mother had no intentions of keeping up with this crap. So it growing out was lots of fun. I had helment head F-O-R-E-V-E-R as the layers on top grew out.

And I'm inclined to believe that this was actually a mullet. But I don't have any photographic evidence from that day to prove it.

My school photo was 6 months later and it had gone from mullet-like to helment-like.




Later on in college I did endure the "rachel"--but that was much more tolerable than the disaster my mother created.

When I reported to the US Air Force Academy, I had glossy straight black hair all the way down to my waist. The "stylist" (using the term loosely) took about 2 minutes to hack it all off and made sure I did not have a single hair long enough to touch my shirt collar. When I finally got a chance to see the back of my head two days later, it looked like an unfortunate encounter with a weed whacker. Combined with the standard issue black thick rimmed glasses, I looked like a holy freaking terror. However, the silver lining was showers took only 4 minutes and mud washes out pretty easy. When I wrote to my mom about my hair, she wrote back, "at least they didn't shave your head bald like GI Jane".

In 6 grade my mother decided I needed an ultra short hairdo. There was no body to it, it just clung to my head. I still have a fear of hairdresser cutting my hair that short again, and I make sure I am clear on what I want done before she even begins.

I'm going to get my hair cut in an hour and really should not have read this thread.

Chemo buzz for me too. I remember sitting in the cancer clinic and another patient commenting to a nurse that no one warned her she would lose her eyebrows and lashes too. Mine thinned out but I was lucky to not lose them completely.

Beside that I have had other haircuts where I leave the salon in near tears. But thankfully it always grows back!

The soup bowl haircut my mother would give me as a child. She would put the bowl on top of my head and cut around the rim of the bowl and volia!

I thought I would be smart and get my hair cut before heading to boot camp. Didn't work, they still chopped more off as soon as we got there. It was beyond awful; thank goodness we had to wear a hat 95% of the time! The very first thing I did after reporting to my 'A' school and getting permission was to walk the couple of miles to the NEX and have the ladies in the beauty shop fix it. DH still thinks it was a 'cute' hairstyle; it wasn't, truly. I know how I look with ultra short hair and don't plan on going there ever again!

The worst cut I ever had was in 7th or 8th grade. One of my friends had gotten a really AWESOME perm that I loved. I didn't know what it was called but I tried to get across to the hairdresser that although my friend had a perm she still had long hair(up to that point the only perms I had ever seen where on older ladies who had short hair. Also, my hair was down over my shoulders). When she got done perming and cutting my hair was short! Think the Mom(Sophia) on the Golden Girls! I tried to hold the tears back but one slipped out and down over my cheek. That hairdresser never cut my hair again. She had her husband do my hair after that and he would give me a Spiral Perm.
