10 WORST Hairstyles Of All Time [0:00:00]
Starting this list off, we’ve got the friar tuck. Now, most of us thought this haircut
was extinct, last seen on that jolly friar that supported Robin Hood. But, lo and behold!
Tim Tebow brought it back. Now, if you’re familiar with your history,
you know that this is called tonsure. It’s the practice of shaving the hair on the top
of the head to basically show that you are humble.
Now, in 1972, the practice was abandoned by papal order, but apparently Tim Tebow did
not get the memo. But, seriously, shaving your head has been used by cultures around
the world to symbolize new beginnings. Monks do it all the time. But make sure that you
fully shave the head, that looks good. Leaving that ring around the scalp, not so much.
In today’s video, gents, we’re counting down the worst hairstyles of all time.
Coming in at number 10, we’ve got the flat top. Now, the flat top, the coach cut, whatever
you want to call it, this hairstyle has been in and out of fashion for over seventy years.
And when you look at it, functional-wise, this is actually a pretty good hairstyle.
It’s short, easy to maintain, creates a lean profile. In fact, for athletes and military
men this hairstyle is popular because it makes sense because it works.
That being said, it’s kind of developed the reputation as the haircut of the asshole.
You know what I’m talking about, the guy in your face that’s overly aggressive that’s
about to go off on a steroid rage. All that being said, in the right situation,
I can see it working, but in my opinion there are better options out there.
Next up on the countdown, the bowl cut. Now, apparently this hairstyle is over a thousand
years old going back to the crusades. But here’s the deal, it didn’t look good then
and it doesn’t look good now. Gents, it makes your head look a freaking
mushroom. Yeah. Not really much I can say about this one. It made a comeback in the
1970s. It was joked about then. If you see this thing making a comeback now, do not jump
on it. The bowl cut is not really for any head shape. I just don’t understand why
people do it to themselves. And, speaking of bowl cuts, let’s talk about
curtains. Curtains are like the third cousin twice removed from the bowl cut except they
require more work. Seriously, it’s like a bowl cut, but they just try to make it really
fashionable. The divide it really nice, they count the numbers of hairs, so you’ve got
an equal number on each side, maybe even colored it a bit. Gents, it still doesn’t look good.
Your head, again, looks like a mushroom. Now, I’ve heard that this hairstyle came
out of English gang culture in the 1920s. I don’t know how much of that is true, but
I do know every time I see this haircut, I’m like, “Oh, my gosh! What were you thinking?”
Next up on the list, powdered wigs. So, apparently this came out of France in the 17th century.
They had a French king that was baldy and he wanted to be able to cover it up, so he
went ahead and threw on a wig. Well, everyone apparently wants to be like the king, so they
all started wearing wigs, all of a sudden we got a fashion trend.
Now, I get it, human beings fall into trends, but this one went on for centuries. Literally
at the beginning of the 19th century, you still saw men wearing powdered wigs.
Now, some guys knew how to pull it off. George Washington crossing the Delaware, this guy
knew how to pull off a powdered wig. [Sound effect] But to be honest, for most mere mortals,
it just looks silly. And if you didn’t take care of that wig, guess what? You’ve got
infestations of bugs. Now, you may be wondering what’s worse than
that. Gentlemen, let me introduce you to the rat tail. Seriously, what were these guys
thinking when they got their hair cut like this?
Now, I get it, if you’re Jet Lee or maybe a Jedi Padawan, you can pull it off. [Sound
effect] But, for most men, the rat tail, yeah, just does not look good.
Now, as you’re watching today’s video, you’re probably wondering, “Antonio, how
is it that you look so freaking amazing? Your hair is on point.” Well, thank you very
much. Gentlemen, I’m using Vitaman. This is my new company based off of Australia using
natural and organic ingredients. These are the best hair care and hairstyling products
out there on the planet. Seriously, that’s why I partnered with this
company. I am an owner of this company because I believe in what these guys were doing.
So, right here, I’ve got the styling cream. This is great if you got shorter hair. You
just want a little bit of hold, but you want to bring a bit more texture, I absolutely
love it. If you got a little bit longer hair, then you want to look at what we got here.
The gel, yes, the gel is going to keep it right in place, so if you have to deal with
wind, you don’t want your hair going anywhere, the gel is for you.
But, maybe you want a hold, but you want it not really to have any shine. You want to
look at our Matte Mud. This is one of our bestsellers that has high hold, a great product.
I like this one was well. And, of course, we’ve got pomade. So, if you want a bit
of shine, if you want something like more of an old school look to keep that hair down,
check out our pomade. Here’s the deal. I’m going to make this
a no-brainer for you. I’m putting a special link down in the description, so you can try
Vitaman at the lowest price. I’m making this, so I’m almost giving the product away
because I want to get it into your hands. I want you to see that Vitaman difference,
so that you can try your product, you can try mine, and you can throw your product right
in the trash because you know that ours is so much better.
Oh, yeah, I look good. And you can too just click on the link.
Next up on the list, the mullet. Now, a lot of people will put this as their number one,
the worst hairstyle out there. I cannot do that. The thing is when you see guys like
Joe Dirt wear it with confidence, you got to give a little bit of respect to the mullet.
Now, I said just a little bit. Now, there’s been some pretty powerful guys pulling this
off. We’re talking about David Bowie, Rod Stewart, Keith Richards, Paul McCartney. The
thing is this was the 1970’s and a lot of the rules went right out the window.
[0:05:05] Nowadays, there are two rules to being able
to pull off the mullet. First up, you need to be self-employed or unemployed, the other
one being you got to have a huge level of confidence. And remember with the mullet,
it’s about business on top and party in the back.
Next up, we’ve got the man bun. Now, I was hesitant to put this one on the list because
I feel for the right guy that’s been rocking his longer hair and didn’t follow trends,
this is perfectly fine. But here’s the thing is that so many hipsters have given this a
bad name. Seriously, it’s like they grew their hair
out for years just to put it up in a bun to offend us real Americans. That’s right,
America. Seriously though, I don’t have a beef with this hairstyle, it’s been around
for over 2,000 years. In fact, Chinese warriors used this hairstyle
to keep their hair out of the way when they’re going into battle. So, I understand, hey,
it’s got some history. Actually, functionally it works, but understand if you’re pulling
your hair back, be careful not to pull it back to tight because basically right here
the hair on your hairline can start to get pulled out and it can cause premature balding.
All right, gentlemen, so coming in at number 3, we’ve got the greasy style. Now, notice
I didn’t say greaser style, there’s a difference. Actually, I like the 1950’s
greaser look. But, the greasy style, that is the overused of pomades, the overuse of
any product, gel, that is simply coming off of the hair.
Guys, be careful with the overuse of hair product. You remember that great scene in
the movie, Coming To America, Soul Glo? Yeah, all of that product in the hair. In fact,
they had to have special covers whenever people sat down. All that stuff that was left, guess
what? That’s historically correct. That’s why they had these covers back from
the 1920s and 30s because a lot of men would over do it. They would put so much oil so
much product in their hair that they lean back, it would basically stain the couch.
So, gents, I know your soul may want to glow, but take it easy on the hair product. Make
sure that you’re not spreading that stuff all over the place.
Now, guys, I know that you’ve got an opinion. I want to hear from you down in the comments
what did I miss, what should have been on this list, where do you disagree with me.
I want to hear from you guys down in the comments. Coming in at number 2, we’ve got the frosted
tips. So, there’s just so many things on so many levels that is fundamentally wrong
with this hairstyle. So, first up the coloring. We’ve got the darker roots with the lighter
bleached on top. It just doesn’t look good. This color combination doesn’t work for
anybody. Then, it’s the spiking of the hair. I don’t
know what they’re going for here, but apparently they want to look like a porcupine. Finally,
it shows that you’re dated, it shows that you’re stuck in 1999 which was a great year,
but I don’t need to be reminded of that time period every time I look at you.
Now, before I reveal the number 1, I want to give some honorable mention some shoutouts.
So, first up, we’ve got the skrillex. Yes, this hairstyle actually I’m looking at it,
it’s not really committing, it’s not going short it’s not going long. I don’t even
know what this thing is trying do here. Next up, the emo fringe. This one a lot of
work getting that hair going for. There’s just, I don’t know, I really just do not
like this one. Finally, we’ve got the carve out. You know
I couldn’t put this one on the list because any guy that actually does this to his hair,
well, let’s just say that has not taken themselves too seriously.
Coming in at number 1, gentlemen, we’ve got the comb-over. So, the reason I’ve got
this hairstyle number one on my list is because if you are wearing this, you are not being
honest with yourself. Seriously, you’re not fooling anybody. As
you can see by this anonymous guy right here, look at that comb-over, four parts. There’s
like a whole team that’s dedicated to keeping this comb-over and keeping it in place. And,
really are we being fooled? No, of course we’re not.
So, what video to watch next? How about you learn how to properly and easily cut your
own hair? Guys, I’ve got you covered with this easy tutorial right here.
