What's the worst hair cut you've had

[Greedo]

I found a picture of me as a kid this morning and I looked like this only my hair was longer because my Mum just cut my hair until I was about 8 or 9.

Yes she has a sense of humour!

I didn't do much better on my own in my teens I must say though! Some shocking stuff that I couldn't even begin to describe. The wedge with a HUGE fringe probably being the worst

ha ha, that's the standard 70's "board game" hair cut. used by every child model of the time.

i think all kids of that time have had one of those

Oh yes!

"Sun In" turned my hair gingery, I should have known better after seeing it do the same to my cousins hair.

Not really a problem until I had a trim of the back and sides and the brown showed through. Apparently it looked like I had a ginger cat sat on my head. There's a photo somewhere of me with flecked troos and a grey leather jacket sporting said hairstyle. Nice.

Every haircut I've ever had is equal worst with whatever the worst one I've ever had was. I do dislike having my hair cut but I don't like it long either because I like it to dry quickly after a quick towelling and without the need for a bloody hairdryer.

I'd shave my head but I've got a good thick head of hair and if I shaved it people would assume it's because I'm going bald. But I'm not, not even a bit.

Quite definitely the day I went to a barber, when I was losing my hair fast at the age of around 22. Because I had taken my glasses off I couldn't see what he was doing but he did a lot of messing around and when he had finished he stood back with a flourish and invited me to look.... to my horror he'd given me.... A COMBOVER!

I was shocked. "Who do you think I am?" I asked him. I told him to get it off straight away, which he did without a word. Idiot. I never went there again.

As a yoof in the early eighties, I let my then girlfriend give me one of these:

Fortunately there are no photos of the actual car crash that was the resulting cut, and it didn't last very long, being quickly replaced by a nice tidy flat top.

Also had the standard issue pudding bowl as a kid in the 70s.

A Kevin keegan 'bubble' perm! I was working in a clinical department at the time and as I passed one of the senior clinicians in the corridor he commented that I looked like a greek adonis!!!!! I had it cut off the next day. I looked more like Harpo Marx than an adonis.

not a haircut, but the lack of one

About 5 years ago, I had to go on a board of inquiry as I was in a bit of bother, the night before I got my partner to cut my hair, usually a number 3 or 2, as she was cutting it I thought I saw something go flying across the room as she was running the cutters across the middle, I noticed by the reflection in the glass cabinet that she was looking down the street so I queried if the guard was still on. It was not and the result was I had no hair down the middle of my head, a reverse mohican in fact. All she could do was give me a number 1 after that.

At the board of inquiry I noticed the panel kept looking at my head as I did look stupid so I had to tell them what had happened which broke the ice and made it a bit more enjoyable by bringing a bit of humour into it.

I would have shaved my head but I did not want to look like a criminal at the that paticular time

Two nightmares! Both perms, one was short & curly, "just like the girl in the Milk Tray ad" said my friend's husband who was also my hairdresser. It was horrible and at the age of about 30 I looked about 20 years older. The second time was when I had a lovely straight bob & decided that loose curls would be nice - BIG mistake! It took ages to get long enough to cut and the worse thing is it was done 2 weeks before I was getting married.

I'm not sure this cross-eyed Ian-Gillan-meets-Charles-Manson look really did me justice in my early 20s!

A few weeks later I woke up with a hangover one Sunday morning and discovered that I'd scalped myself with a pair of nail scissors the night before!

Many years ago before I looked like Fletch:

It was 1987. I am on the left.

Cor blimey! Did you hang that tag on the amplifier while you were having your photo taken Colin?

I can't remember my worst haircut - yonks ago.

There have been quite a few jokes made about that tag!

I reckon that I must have been wandering around for a couple of years with that round my neck because for some reason the young women in our group certainly didn't seem in a hurry to 'use' me!
