Hair is a tricky thing to get right. There is all manner of contrasting trends floating about social media, your hair might not be the most cooperative, and who knows how a haircut that seemed amazing on Instagram might turn out on your head? Either way, you will generally go for a haircut every few months, with all your beauty-based hopes and aspirations laying on the shoulders of your hairdresser. Sadly, the style that you had in mind might not be as wonderful as you thought in real life. We are here today to list some of the worst hairstyles that, for some reason, continue to be popular in the 21st century. Of course, many of the mentioned styles may work for you, and this is just a general overview of the most unappealing looks, according to fashion and hair experts.
Perms
We start our list of hairdos no-noes with the classic perm, which should have stopped being a thing back in the 90s. Not only does it look forced and artificial, but the chemicals and heating process involved in getting the kinks in your hair are quite harmful. Still, many people disregard the future of their locks to keep their hair artificially wavy. We may not be able to convince such delusional folks, but maybe a pricey consultation with a leading hair expert will do.

“The Rachel”
Here we have another fad of the 90s with “The Rachel.” For those who do not know who this hairstyle is referencing, we suggest watching a few episodes of the classic 90s sitcom, Friends. There you will see Jennifer Anniston’s beloved and gorgeous character, Rachel. When women saw how wonderful her medium-length hair looked, seeming so casual and yet so manicured, plenty began copying Anniston’s look. While you might have been considered to be incredibly trendy if you got this hairdo back in the day, today you will look incredibly old-fashioned. Leave “The Rachel” inside your television, please.
