An American top model and actress goes viral for sharing the “worst haircut” of her life. Here is what happened and why it’s so relatable.
Bad haircuts are the ultimate pains of every hair devotee. And, unfortunately, they happen more often than you can imagine. This time, the Victoria’s Secret icon Emily Ratajkowski fell victim to the nightmare hairstyle when attempting to get her fringe back. She opens up about her recent transformation and shares her honest reaction to the new look.
“I have bangs on the back of my head. Shocking, just shocking,” the supermodel quips in the latest TikTok video. Emily admits that she was not expecting something like that when entrusting her locks into the hands of a “very nice man” at the hair salon. Now, she can’t recognize herself and even puts a filter on her videos just to “feel pretty.”
Judging from the roughly chopped front pieces and odd fringe placement (ouch!), the hairdresser chose a layered shag with bangs, but something clearly went wrong. Instead of giving his A-list client a soft, face-framing fringe, he cuts the tresses starting from the crown, resulting in a bowl-shaped crop.
Sadly, Emily Ratajkowski’s hair horrors don’t end there. The dreaded ‘helmet fringe’ is also joined by short, uneven layers, offering a steep forward graduation the model can’t mask. “I can hide it until the wind hits,” the runway star complains.
The model’s ruined hairstyle sparks heated debate in the hair community, with many fans offering their support and advice. One user suggests curling the hair to make the fringe look bouncy and divert attention away from the choppy ends. Emily tries the method, but the shorter strands still stick out randomly.
A Fonthill-based hairstylist Michelle Brisson explains how she usually approaches a client who comes to fix a bad haircut. For uneven lengths, the hair pro blends two very different and sloppy layers by cutting a bob with lots of texture. So, one way to make a failed crop work for you is to cut off some more and create a flattering shape. For an alarming bangs situation, braiding or pinning them back might also save the day.
