A trip to the hairdresser is always a fraught affair, isn’t it? What if they off an inch too much or leave it too curly or too straight? Still, at least you can be thankful that you are never likely to have a hairdresser give you any of the following styles by mistake.

The Smiley Face Haircut

Let’s face it, when the hairdresser goes round the back of your head is when you get really, really worried. Why do they take so long round there anyway? It’s not like you give a damn what the back of your head looks like. Well, as long as you don’t get a weird haircut like this one.

The Stupid Footballer Haircut

Mario Balotelli is an Italian football player who is famous for being a bit thick. This might sound harsh but check out the YouTube video of him fighting with a training bib for evidence. For further evidence just check out this strange haircut.

The Angry Birds Haircut

So, you liked the game, did you? It started to become a bigger and bigger part of your life, did it? That’s all well and good but did you really have to go and get an Angry Birds haircut?

The Beijing Olympics Haircuts

What better way to promote a global gathering of athletes than by, err, giving weird haircuts to kids who look as though they would rather be anywhere else and have anything else on their head?

The Utterly Weird Haircut

How would you even begin to describe to your hairdresser that you wanted this done. I have a hard enough job saying that I was it short on the back but not that short, so I can’t imagine being able to explain all those tubes. Hang on, is it meant to be a Statue of Liberty haircut that just turned out kind of badly?

The Tongue Haircut

There are some stupid haircuts which probably seemed like a good idea at the time. This isn’t one of them.

The Sticky Haircut

How much would you have to spend on gel products just to keep this ridiculous style up for a month? Trying to fit into the train carriage would be a nightmare as well.

The Birds Haircut

Is this picture even real? I only ask because the model looks a bit like a porcelain doll and the hair is just too weird to be believable. What’s that thing climbing up from her shoulder? A bear? This is just complete hair madness but I like it.

The Helicopter Haircut

This is a brilliant haircut because it is just so outrageously ludicrous. Who even came up with the idea of turning this lady’s hair into a flying machine? The thing on her nose is just the icing on the cake for me. I could definitely see this catching on among lunatics all over the world.

The Back to Front Haircut

I used to work because one of those bald but beardy guys who look like their head is on upside down, but this takes things to a whole new level. This person has had a weird haircut done which has turned the back of his head into the front of his head. Clever and somehow deeply spooky.
