Some of my worst mistakes in life were haircuts*

by chuckofish

Don’t think I’m crazy for writing today’s post. I had an all-day department retreat yesterday and afterward went looking for a good laugh. I ended up perusing bad soccer-player hairdos. (Don’t ask how. It just happened). I can’t say I’ve made a lot of haircut mistakes myself, and most people seem to manage their hair without too much difficulty, but many soccer players are an exception to this rule. I don’t want to make anyone feel bad… but I challenge you to see these without laughing or shaking your head. Which is your favorite?

A. The basic mullet, c. 1985

B. Good grief! What were they thinking? c. 1970s.

C.  All the rage in Brazil c. 2014.

D. Not to be outdone by the Brazilians.

E. How does one play soccer with hair like this?

F. Finally, a fan’s homage to Lionel Messi via a very talented barber.

Well, that brightened my mood considerably. I hope it brightened yours. I think I liked the “What were they thinking?” group best. Those people weren’t trying to be outrageous. The others obviously wanted to shock and elicit comment, but those dudes, well, they thought they were being stylish. Please do give me your reactions in the comments and be sure to let me know if you plan to copy any of these when you get your next haircut!

Have a wonderful weekend but stay away from the scissors!
