Top Five Worst Haircuts

November 19, 2009 at 2:57 pm · Filed under Pop Culture

Hair is not like shoes, because often, you’re born with it. But seriously, bad genes are still not a good enough excuse to subject humanity to atrocious hair design.

Ladies and gentlemen, if you look into the mirror and see a reflection that looks similar to any of these images, you have a problem.

1. The Comb Over.

Comb overs are very popular in the Arab world, and I don’t understand why. The comb over makes it much more apparent that its wearer is bald, while adding a zest of comic-relief, especially since most men who have comb-overs are the serious kind.
Get over it.

Baldness is so much cooler. Case in point:

2. The Afrullet

I have to admit that this whole post was inspired by this particular do, which Moose brought to my attention. I do not really mind mullets, and I love afros, but the unholy mix of afro AND mullet is really worth writing a whole post about :)

3. The Mushroom

The mushroom haircut, in all its variations, is probably the worst sought-after hairstyle ever. It’s even brutal on kids.

4. Super long hair

Why anyone in the world would subject themselves to the complete illogical unfunctionality of super long hair defeats me. WHY? Super long hair is very popular among a certain class of Arab chickas, and it just reminds me of the worst song EVER.

5. The Bald Ponytail.

It just makes you look like you’re fighting reality. Get rid of it. It’s fugly.

I have seen one that’s even worse than #5:
Bald open, shoulder-length hair
That looks like his hair slided down his head and onto his shoulders!

What about the “mini-Versace” that the Algerian goalie was rocking?

I would like to also nominate “the goose behind” haircut often seen in a certain Ammani female demographic between the age of 45 and 60.
And of course the waxed gay-prostitute spiked hair.
I would have nominated the full frontal balding spot covered by a pathetic coocoo, but maybe that one is too close to home. :p

loooooooooool at the Video clip loooooooooool
Reminds me of Rabyeh in 2003/2004 LMFOA
Allah la eywatrezlek ya Roba

I have never understood who men think they fool with the comb over.
They know themselves they are (partly) bald, and most women prefer bald or very very short to ANY style of comb over.

Which reminds me ….did u notice how Mitchell’s haircut is inspired by the FireFox Logo…or is it the other way around ;-)

I still hassle my mom when we breakout the old photo albums, she gave me the classic bowl cut herself when I was a youngster. Borderline child abuse I tell you!

I think (hope) that the ladies with the obnoxiously long hair intend to sell it to people that make hair-extensions, or I would like to believe there’s a reason for doing something like that.

heheeh that’s hilarious!!! well done Roba :)
I really hate the comb over style belzaaat!
Chris’s comment is so funny, my brothers used to have such haircuts too !

Yasmin, ewwwwww, that sounds disgusting :( Why do people do that?!!!!
7algitt Beckham, haha, I was looking for that one, but I thought he was Egyptian and thus couldn’t find him :)
Mesh, yeee, I haven’t heard that phrase in years! :)
Marianne, tell me about it. I guess it’s psychological, makes them feel like they have more hair..
Rula, that’s the best thing about her haircut! :)
Chris, haha, yes! My brothers had to go through the same thing, and the bright neon clothing.
Nana, bas the longer it is, the thinner, more split-endy, and less useful it is. No?
Mo, hehehe, I forgot about the butt cut. You’re right.. that does deserve a place on the list! I like emo haircuts. I wore mine like that for a while :)
Shahirah Elaiza, tell me about. It is creepy. And ugly. I don’t understand why anyone would subject themselves to that. You have to se the pictures of her washing her hair in a toshot.
CW, hehe, yeah, no need to be sexist. I think that there is less room for error with women’s hair… I had another one in mind, the straightened out triangular looking bob with pins behind the ears. Usually worn by women over 30 who think they are under 10. It’s freaky.
Sarah, the bortokala video is the best example of how 7afalagi super long hair is :) No?
Bassam, thanks fo rthe link man, it is funny! :) I like emo haircuts though :P
Bardees, thanks darling! :) I know, the comb over style should be illegal. Along with safari suits.
Rula
Yes! But it’s the classic chicken & the egg: which came first the Personal or the Corporate Branding ;-)

Interesting question! My gut feeling is that the logo came first :)
