Hairstyle trends come and go. Some are more sophisticated than others. While some of these weird, ridiculous, stupid haircuts are absurd, others might work in the right setting. Don’t let us tell you how you should wear your hair. The world will notice your self-confidence if you’re not afraid to flaunt the craziest haircuts we’ve found around the online community.

Bright Sideburns

Bright Sideburns

@kawaicat_salon

Got sideburns? Your barber can dye them with bright colors like in this photo. Show off the dye job by sleeking the lower part of your hair down and sweeping the top section up with volume and texture. The shape and the colors will turn heads, and you can always wear your weird hair down without hiding the color.

Rolled High Beehive

If you want an ornate hairdo with a breathtaking updo, make tiny fluffy curls, loop 1-inch sections of hair individually, roll and secure them underneath with hairpins, building the height and shape as you move up the length.

Cans and flowers are just one of the options to lol – you can play with the design and accessories as much as you want. A photo of your bad haircut like this will be appreciated by the Twitter online community.

Fire in Hair For Men

Fire in Hair For Men

@kawaicat_salon

We're not quite sure what word is the title of this. Maybe the fire-scale look is popular on some other planet. When you see this from farther away, it probably looks much better. It’s like an impressionist painting. However, this is an example of how texture might work for you in the right setting with color.

Bumblebee Stripes

Bumblebee Stripes

@alehairninja

You can probably reproduce this bangs hair cut yourself. There is nothing blended about this highlighted look. And, actually. nothing wrong about it either. Solid chunks of red color are perfectly spaced for a bold and buzzworthy head of hair. This is a strong a bit weird look that might be ideal for your sense of style.

Advanced Bubble Pony

Advanced Bubble Pony

@hairbyope_smade

Can't find an accessory? Use your hair to create a crazy bubble ponytail updo variation like this art. You'll look like a wonder gift that's ready to be unwrapped with no extra accessories needed. This is the top of the best worst haircuts ever!

Braid Undecided

Braid Undecided

@braids_by_valeriya

Can't decide what type of braid to create? Make them all. Just place a rubber band between each section. This is a fun and interesting look, and it gives you a chance to practice your braiding technique. A uniform braid might look a little sleeker, though.

Large-Scale Dreadlocks

Large-Scale Dreadlocks

@kawaicat_salon

This style just looks painful. Rock the dreadlocks – the messier, the better. However, you'll probably have to shave your whole head to get them out in the end.

Put A Ball On It

Put A Ball On It

@kawaicat_salon

Accessorizing your hair isn't anything new. Still, this Christmas tree-inspired short layered bob with Christmas tree decorations might look a little silly. Bad haircuts feature the worst accessories.

Blown-Out Bouffant

Blown-Out Bouffant

@barber_egoiste

What's worse than one ridiculous haircut? Two ideas of them. This one is a little too tall to realistically last all day. It’s a little like the popular pompadour, but we’re hearing a lot of ‘80s music in the background.

Side Bang Mohawk

Side Bang Mohawk

@iamthebarber132

Maybe if this Mohawk was a little more faded, it would just be cool. The transition looks a little too much like fringe for our liking. The blunt edge along the side would look amazing if it were more tapered.

Truffula Tree

Truffula Tree

@afrostylshop

Thing one and thing two called. They want their hairstyles back. The man bun is popular these days. Some people love it, and the rest of people hate it. This version is a little too splashy for our liking.

Extensions Gone Bad

Extensions Gone Bad

It doesn't matter if the blonde shade of the extensions doesn't match the base hair. The main thing is that now your hair is thicker and longer.

Fuzzy Wuzzy Was A Bear

extensions-gone-bad-ridiculous-hairstyles

This mullet forgot the part about business in front. This might compete with Trump’s hairstyle as one of the most ridiculous haircuts ever.

Triple-Layer Trifle

Triple-Layer Trifle

@kasu_hair

When you can't decide how to color your hair, just divide it up. Layer it like a sundae. Make sure to heavily spray those enormous curls. Don't forget the cherry on top, though.

Bedhead Gone Bad

Bedhead Gone Bad

@ireneclairehair

Bad hair days happen to us every morning our whole life. And the girl in this photo demonstrates that bad is just a word. You can look cute even with a bad haircut.

Helmet Hair

Helmet Hair

@elevatehair

This haircut certainly has smooth and sleek going for it. It looks like you'd have to make friends with your round brush, hair dryer, and a hair product to pull this off.

Mohawk Extreme

Mohawk Extreme

@mohawkamaniabob

You'd need to be in a place with no wind and no humidity to have success with this style. Maybe it would work in outer space. It’s incredibly impressive. You can put up your own Mohawk or Liberty spikes if you have the time and the skill. You can also ask your barber to put any image on a hairstyle like this man did.

Lady Mullet

Lady Mullet

We are fans of short, choppy hair. We want to love the edginess of this style. We just can't get over the contrast from the front to the back. Maybe if the fringe in the front was just a tad softer or the layers in the back were straighter, this haircut would work better.

Colorful Mouse Ears

colorful-mouse-ears-ridiculous-haircuts

Earth to whoever is listening. This one has great color, but the style is tough to pull off. The space ears look like antennae, especially with the crazy hue. If you have the right attitude, you can probably wear this style, however.

Black-And-White Braid

Black-And-White Braid

One side of the hair is jet black. The other side is pure white. There's definitely a Cruella De Vil vibe going on here. It’s bold, and the braid emphasizes the contrast. However, this has to be a tough color scheme to keep up with. Once the roots grow in, you have yet another color to deal with, so get ready to visit your salon regularly.

Viking Chic

Viking Chic

@angela_skullptures

Do you get some kind of prize if you can recreate this haircut? The hair itself looks like some kind of trophy.

Circle Of Fun

circle-of-fun-ridiculous-haircuts

This style will have your mind going in circles. It transforms your head into a giant pacifier. You’d have fun at a picnic, though. You could use the ring to toss beanbags through or to make a target for Frisbee golf.

Woolly Beehive

wolly-beehive-ridiculous-haircuts

Can't get your beehive to stay up? Tie your hair around a ball of stuffing. You can make friends with the sheep.

Swirled 

Swirled

@nia_hairstyles_

A rose by any other name isn't always a rose. Although this one is rich with beauty, it's a little over the top. This looks pristine now, but imagine what it might look like at the end of the night. This hairstyle is probably the worst for a night of dancing. With a few hairs out of place, it probably just looks like a weird giant knot on top of the head.

Fierce Braids

Fierce Braids

@zsofiaagi

You'd probably have this look in this face too if your hair was pulled this tightly. The combination of braids and softness is like an art form. However, it doesn’t look very reliable.

Under The Sea

under-the-sea-ridiculous-hairstyles

The scalloped edges of this design belong somewhere on the sand. It’s so stylized that it no longer looks like hair.

Cone Head

cone-head-ridiculous-haircuts

How long would your hair have to be to build it up this high? Don’t even get us started on those shoulder pads.

Horse Hair

Horse Hair

@lqlglass

This is certainly a horse of a different color. The artistry is quite skillful. We’re just not sure we’d want this on our heads. At least, unless we’re spending a week in Texas.

Most Complicated

Most Complicated

@zainhhair

It must take more than ten fingers to weave these complicated braids. There’s something soothing about the repetitive pattern, though.

Reverse Buzz Cut

reverse-buzz-cut-crazy-haircut

Haven't you always wanted eyes in the back of your head? This gives a whole new meaning to the term two-faced. We wouldn’t want to be standing behind this guy; we would have the strange feeling that we were being watched.

Helicopter Head

Helicopter Head

Take off on a hairstyle journey by adding propellers. Just don’t spin them if you don’t want your hair to end up in a knot. Laugh, take photos, hang some accessories on top, and provoke the biggest discussion on X Twitter ever.

Creep Factor

creep-factor-ridiculous-haircuts

We’re ok with spiders. We just don’t like thinking that they might be stuck in our hair. At least you wouldn't see the spider on your head unless you looked in a mirror. But it can be scary for other people.

You Say Tomato 

You Say Tomato 

@sekaijyuunoonnahaorenomono

I say tomahto. However, it's also possible that this is a strawberry. What do you think?

The Lizard

the-lizard-ridiculous-haircuts

“I would like a rainbow-colored chameleon on my head,” said no one ever, except maybe this guy.

Hat Head

Hat Head

@sandoiuraluca_mua

If your hat is always leaving an indentation on your hairstyle, flaunt it. Just cut outside of the boundaries of the hair hat and voila. You never have to worry about it ruining your hair again.

The Violin

the-violin-ridiculous-haircuts

Forget boho style. This is the perfect updo for a music festival. Make sweet music with your hairstyle.

Woven

woven-ridiculous-haircuts

Weave yourself a basket. Just do it on your head. This hairstyle has a beautiful sculptural quality. It doesn’t look very convenient, though. It doesn’t even seem like this basket would be useful for holding anything.

Poofy Mullet

poofy-mullet-ridiculous-hairstyles

If all you see in the mirror is the front, why bother styling the back? Spend all of your time getting the front as meticulous as it is in this hairstyle.

Ride The Wave

ride-the-wave-ridiculous-hairstyle

The style and the color have inherent allure. It's just not a very practical look. In fact, it doesn’t look like it uses any hair pins to stay in place.

Rollers In Your Hair

rollers-in-your-hair-ridiculous-haircuts

It looks like this woman forgot to remove the tools that she used to create this style. It also looks like she used quite a lot of different tools. Some of them might have been power tools, actually.

Whale Spout

whale-spout-ridiculous-hairstyles

This crimped yellow monstrosity is exploding off the top of this guy’s head. Do you think he notices?

Beard On Top

beard-on-top-ridiculous-hairstyles

Too bad you didn't have this haircut in grade school so that you could fool all the teachers into thinking you were doing work while you were napping. Why isn’t this considered one of the top short men’s hairstyles?

Pineapple Style

pineapple-style-ridiculous-haircuts

This cut is enough to make you want a piña colada. If you want a more permanent solution, you can just bleach your buzz cut.

Vampire Pixie

vampire-pixie-ridiculous-haircuts

The short bob gets edgy with a gelled widow's peak. Don’t let the wind get to this haircut, or it will completely lose its edge.

Hair Tapestries

Hair Tapestries

 

These hair tapestries are actually a really cool alternative to those hair wraps that look like friendship bracelets. They’re really colorful, and they don’t look that hard to apply if you have help. We're just not sure how you'd get them out without chopping off your hair.

The Perfect Pouf 

perfect-pouf-ridiculous-hairstyles

Get your hair to stand on end with the perfect amount of teasing and a few bottles of hairspray. We can’t believe this was a style worn by school-age girls. Who has that much time to do their hair before the bus comes?

Heavy Metal

heavy-metal-ridiculous-haircut

Ouch. There's not much more to say. Imagine how heavy this would feel on your head. We don’t want to know what would happen if you spent too much time in the sun.

The Literal Rat Tail

literal-rat-tail-ridiculous-haircut

As if a regular rat tail wasn't bad enough, this one is enough to make you scream.

‘90s Grunge

90s-grunge-ridiculous-hairstyles

Remember when it was cool to look like you never showered? Even the hottest celebrities were doing it.

Back Fringe

Back-fringe-ridiculous-hairstyles

 

Excuse me, sir. You missed a spot. This cut would be great if you tend to forget to put sunscreen on the back of your neck.

The Bottom Line

A new haircut might take some getting used to. However, if your stylist gives you one of these ridiculous haircuts, you might be allowed to ask for a free shave.
