From the ‘Flock of Seagull’ to Axl’s ginger dreadlocks: The worst 15 haircuts in the history of pop music
In association with Universal Music
IF there’s one thing which can be replied upon, it’s that pop stars will experiment with their looks.
For decades singers have thought it vital to keep switching things up, which is why we’ve been presented the delights such as Liam Gallagher’s bowl cut and Justin Bieber’s dreadlocks.
Well if you thought those two were bad you ain’t seen nothing yet. Feast your eyes on these…
A Flock of Seagulls
The bright blonde, thefake horns, the comb-overs and the slicked down tendrils.
There is literally nothing that is good about this look, sorry boys.
Axl Rose
The Guns N’ Roses frontman caused a storm when he teased his ginger locks into these beautiful dreadlocks.
Do you think Bieber took some tips from him?
Coolio
Again with the spikey horns. Some of these stars need to get their own look – it comes to something when you’re pinching ideas from A Flock of Seagulls.
Cher
In all honesty there were quite a few options when it came to Cher’s style back catalogue.
This one has to be one of the best, it’s a kind of teased mullet if you will.
Christina Aguilera
This time around it's all about the braids. She might have been smiling at the time, but it’s safe to bet this didn’t make the photo album.
Justin Timberlake
Poor old Justin, famous sufferer of the curly-haired mop look.
Before he learnt about the power of the shaved head and/or straightners, this was Justin’s go-to – which was famously likened to supernoodles.
Gwen Stefani
No Doubt’s Gwen has to be one of the most famous blonde bombshells in history… which makes this shot even more disturbing.
Safe to say blue is not her colour, especially when teamed with this amount of gel and diamanté.
Madonna
Madonna is the queen of reinvention, which is a good job when you check out this shot from 1998.
Can you even believe it’s her?
Nik Kershaw
Nik has to be the pinnacle of 80s pop star hair. No matter that it looks like he could use his hair as a table top, he is rocking that mullet.
Leo Sayer
Now this is quite something to behold.
Those curls have been carefully teased into place and you can almost feel how tacky with hairspray the lacquered look is.
Britney’s bad extensions
Poor old Britney Spears, she tries but, let’s be honest, quite often it doesn’t go quite right.
This is a masterclass in why you should check the back of your head before you leave the house.
Nicki Minaj
Nicki is definitely trying something different here, but as they say different doesn’t always mean good.
Pink
Back in the days when Pink’s hair matched her name.
How long do you think those spikes took to tease into shape?
Pete Burns in Dead or Alive
If you find a more 80s photo then please let us know.
Mullet? Check. Crimping? Check. Highlights? Check. And let’s just add in an eyepatch for good measure.
Kajagoogoo
Right, well maybe we rose to the challenge we set above because this is pretty darn 80s.
With the amount of peroxide on those heads it’s amazing there is any hair left.
