“What I Asked For Vs What I Got”: 46 Ridiculous Hairdos That Made People Want To Wear A Hat For A Year (New Pics)
Interview With Expert
A bad haircut will grow back. But for the time being, you will have to endure the atrocity that you see in front of the mirror every day.
For some people, that could be troubling. Others don’t seem to care, much like the people in the following photos you’re about to see.
These are courtesy of the “That’s It, I’m Hair Shaming” Facebook group. True to their name, this private online community is all about the hairdos they have deemed roast-worthy.
In case you don’t have access, here are some images from the page. Do they deserve all this teasing? See for yourself.

Our hairstyles are part of our identity. It’s one of the things people would compliment us about. According to Willow Ridge Recovery psychotherapist Aubrey Hunt, it also demonstrates our desire to be seen in a particular way.
“A haircut that does not feel quite right or not like the person may cause a disconnect between the interior feeling and exterior look, which can subtly decrease the person's overall self-image,” she told Bored Panda.

As with many things, it's not a matter of whether the fashion is good or bad, but whether you can pull it off.

Why.?? Actually don’t answer that. There is nothing that could explain the motivation of doing something like this
If our hair holds that much significance in terms of our self-perception and how we think toher people see us, a bad haircut must have significant negative effects. According to Hunt, embarrassment and self-consciousness may affect a person's behavior in social and professional settings.

The stigma of a bad hairdo can so cut deep that it may even affect a person’s morale in a profound way. According to Hunt, the repercussions are more severe than you may think.
“One might suspect that people's judgments about them are based on this temporary mistake, which can result in lowering self-esteem and even making the person retreat from social gatherings,” she explained.

Conchas. They're a sweet (but not pastry sweet) bread popular in Mexico. Kind of like a crusty brioche.

Somebody needs to stop getting their hair braided, already at least half bald because of it.
One silver lining of a bad haircut is that it will eventually grow back. However, you will need to deal with how it makes you feel while you wait. According to Hunt, that alone can cause a significant disruption in our self-concept.
“The discomfort between the temporary loss of control and the public visibility of hair is one of the reasons why a bad haircut can feel such a big deal, even though it is a temporary situation,” she said.

They definitely have been doing girls with extensions dirty every season lmfao. I don’t understand why they don’t tell them anything, not even the girls around them.

If you look at the spot that looks bald, you can see the wefting. Wefting is a band of lightweight fabric that hair is sewn to. If you look inside a wig, you can see where the wefting is all sewn on to the net of the wig. These hair extensions seem to be made the same way. I think most extensions do not use wide wefting like this, and are usually more natural looking.

It’s a shame this braider is charging to play in these kids' heads.

I learned when you have a black child, you need to find a barber or stylist that is good at working with black hair. You can't just take that child to any old barber because they do not know what they are doing. On a side note, being the only white guy at a black salon is a lot of fun.
We’d also like to hear from you, dear readers. Which of these hairdos stood out to you, whether through utter shock or hilarity? Do you see yourself sporting any of these hairstyles? Share your thoughts in the comments!

In honor of prom season, allow me to present to you all my senior prom hair (2010) (MN, USA)
I had half the side of my head shaved and some uneven clip in hair extensions. And yes, we had our hair done professionally at a salon.

Are you kidding me? This kid was probably the talk of their class on whacky hair day. It's highly unlikely their hair is done up like this every day. It's called having a sense of whimsy and joy.

When will clients learn that dark hair cannot be bleached blonde in one bleaching session and when will hairdressers learn to say, no, it's impossible and give a realistic schedule with the number of visits.

I made a post earlier but I didn’t add the “bad” after pics. I was too embarrassed and because the hair was styled and dried it look “ok” and it seemed as if I was overreacting and people even said I owe my hairdresser an apology for being upset and angry that she ruinied my hair, as embarrassing as it is I hope people can now see why i am and was so upset.

Me and my mom wanted the same color as the 1st picture and we ended up with hair way darker than what we came in with. 2nd picture is what my mom came in with and then 3&4 are our results.

I can barely see whats wrong. A lot of people straighten their bangs and leave the rest curly. Unless we are talking about the part between bangs and curly, which looks odd but i cant tell if it's extensions or a wig maybe?
