Five Hair Styles More Inexplicable Than The Bieber

By Dustin Rowles | Posted Under Seriously Random Lists | Comments (84)



Justin Bieber-SGY-012404.jpg

For those of you who clicked on this post in the hopes that I would answer that interminable question, “Who is Justin Bieber?” I’m afraid I can’t help you. I still don’t know. He sings. Poorly, in all likelihood. And young girls want to give their maidenheads to him free of charge. That’s the extent of my knowledge.

What I do know, thanks to the hard-hitting New York Times, is that Justin Bieber’s hairstyle is sweeping the tween nation.

Call it the Flip and Switch, the Flow, or the Twitch: the Bieber hairstyle — with sideswept bangs that end about an inch past where the Beatles snipped theirs off — is everywhere. Tim Urban wore it on “American Idol” before he was voted off in late April, and Miles Heizer wears it on the NBC show “Parenthood” to play a brooding teenager. The idea is that the front-combed bangs are so long that they must be flicked aside constantly with a whole lot of attitude.

I’ve seen The Bieber. The Bieber is … inexplicable.

But it’s not the only inexplicably fashionable hairstyle. Here are five other hairstyles as inexplicably popular as The Beiber.


5. The Efron

4. The Sue Sylvester

SUE SYLVESTER HAS NO NEED FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING.

Posted by: figgy at May 6, 2010 12:12 PM

I wish I could rock The Walken but alas due to reasons beyond my control I cannot.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at May 6, 2010 12:13 PM

Admit it. You wish you could have a glorious head of blond locks like Sue Sylvester that never moves an inch and reads bitch like a champ. That is the hair of a champion. That hair demands respect. Jealousy doesn't look good on you, Dustin. Then again, what does compared to Sue Sylvester's beauteous coiffure?

Posted by: Robert at May 6, 2010 12:20 PM

Beiber looks like a girl (unlike Efron who, despite all the effeminate jokes I may dish out, is strikingly male). I thought Justin was a girl for quite some time despite the obviously masculine first name. Perhaps it's missing an "e" at the end, just like he might be missing a pe---oh alright! I'll leave the 16 year old alone!

Posted by: Kballs at May 6, 2010 12:22 PM

My number 1 is Donald Trump. I just...there are no words for that dude's 'hair'.

Goddammit sonuvabitch.

That kid needs a haircut so bad it's ridiculous. We are in a civilized country, there are Hair Salons and Barbers everywhere, for pete's sake. You do not need to be using a flobee in 2010 (flowbe? floohbeh? floozy?) Just because your mother told you not to run with scissors doesn't mean they can't be applied to your grooming ritual.

And that picture of Zac Efron is terrifying. It looks like he's trying to sniff my soul out of the monitor with his nose. And there is so much fucking bronzer! We get it, dweeb, you have cheek bones, now put the kabuki brush down and give your pores a break.

I propose, in light of how terrifying the image of Z.Ef (ZaRon? ZacEfy? Bobby Trendy?), you should photoshop those hairstyles onto the heads of dogs. I honestly can't stand that kid staring at me like that.

It makes me feel like I must assimilate... By buying some L'Oreal.

Posted by: Kayanne at May 6, 2010 12:25 PM

Imagine if the Walken and the Sylvester mated and created a blonde, quiff styled, curtained hairstyle of doom. Doooom I say!

Posted by: Nieve 'The Threadkiller Queen' at May 6, 2010 12:27 PM

You don't explain The Walken. You accept it then kneel and worship at it's follicousity! KNEEL!

My great Aunt Jane's 'do isn't that different than Walkden's. Of course, she rocks it better. You do not want to mess with my great Aunt Jane.

Posted by: tamatha at May 6, 2010 12:32 PM

He(?) looks like Miley Cyrus' gay twin. I feel an overwhelming urge to punch it in the face and I have no idea why. I must apologize for my ragey-ness. I have no idea who this girl(?) is. Thank mighty Godtopus.

Posted by: TylerDFC at May 6, 2010 12:32 PM

Bieber looks like Donny and Marie's kid. He has Osmond face. He has in-bred Osmond face. His Osmondity is undeniable.

Posted by: Sofía at May 6, 2010 12:35 PM

MATT SMITH, HAIR OF AN IDIOT, SWOOOOOOON. (OK, this is actually making me relate to those afflicted with Bieber Fever except the object of my fever is, you know, TALENTED and TALL and can rock a bow tie. No offense, Biebs, but if you do those things maybe I'll swoon in all caps for you too).

Posted by: coveredinbees at May 6, 2010 12:36 PM

OK and mad props on finding the absolute greasiest and most heinous photo of R. Patz. I'm not a fan of him in any light, and I read that whole thing about him not showering, but, honestly, the sheen on him is other worldly. I can smell him through my monitor and the smell does NOT make me swoon.

Posted by: coveredinbees at May 6, 2010 12:39 PM

The Pattinson is revolting.

Posted by: Steph at May 6, 2010 12:40 PM

I haven't a fucking clue who Bieber is, but he has an offensive looking face. Also the hair, it gives the impression that he has been recently slapped from behind, but the face doesn't match. Can someone please fix this?
On a similar subject Efron is looking for a thump.
Pattinson hair looks like it is modeled hairy camel pubes.

Posted by: bob at May 6, 2010 12:42 PM

I'm more concerned with Pattinson's neck beard. He could end up killing himself with a razor one fine hungover morning...

For those of you who clicked on this post in the hopes that I would answer that interminable question, “Who is Justin Bieber?” I’m afraid I can’t help you.

Aaaaaand that's where I come in.

You see, Justin Bieber was created in the underground thermonuclear bunker in Disney World. You know, the one under The Epcot center? The one with Walt Disney's frozen head? Yeah, that one.

Anyway, The Disney CEOs, worried by how quickly their teenage audiences forgot about both The Jonas Brothers and Zac Efron, and were counting the days before Twilight became a tired and unbankable franchise. The solution? Combine their collective DNA, pour the resulting solution into a cabbage patch doll that would never age and unleash it onto the general public.

And then it became sentient and everything just went to shit.

The blood of innocent young girls ran through the streets, heads were placed on pikes, and little kids lay screaming on the streets, attempting in vain to hold their spilling intestines in, but to no avail; The Beiber hungered.

And he still hungers. So everytime you walk down a darkened street, and you hear an auto-tuned voice in the distance...

THE BEIBER HAS COME FOR YOU, AND THERE WILL BE ONE LESS LONELY GIRL IN THE WORLD. BECAUSE SHE'LL BE DEAD.

Posted by: Jeremy Feist at May 6, 2010 12:46 PM

I'm a big fan of David Lynch's wavy grey quiff myself.

Wish I had the balls to rock that!

Posted by: hh at May 6, 2010 12:54 PM

It's pretty mad that male teens can be sex symbols in the western world. It's gotta be the hair - as baldness continues to propagate via genetic drift, great hair skews ever younger. Look those dudes up in 10-15 years, unless they pull a Matthew McConaugeheayay.

Posted by: the new transported man at May 6, 2010 12:54 PM

Inexplicable? The Sue Sylvester is easily explained: any woman who has ever had a super short and adorable haircut has had to suffer through the Sue Sylvester on the long road to "grown out." I tended to wrap my Sue Sylvester in a scarf or bandana whenever possible, but I'll tell you; it wasn't pretty.

But now I'm safe and sound in Ponytail Land!

Posted by: elizabeth at May 6, 2010 12:55 PM

Bieber, Efron and Pattinson don't have hair"styles," that's just what they look like when they get out of bed.

You women have a lot to answer for.

Posted by: , at May 6, 2010 12:55 PM

The "Tom Hanks Da Vinci Code 'Do" gets my vote for creepiest hair style on an adult male.
The Walken ROCKS "The Walken". ROCKS IT, I say.
It is as much a part of his...style... as his...unusual delivery.

Posted by: Spender at May 6, 2010 12:56 PM

I am crying at my desk.

I love you people.

Still love the post on Failbook where some idiot Facebooker asked how old the Bieber was, and several reponses came back, including 12, 6, and "still in my uterus."

The stench coming off RPatz could knock a maggot off a bloated cow at 100 yards. Efron is just a few pounds away from becoming Gollum (THOSE EYES!!! THOSE EYES!!! THEY ARE SUCKING MY SOUL!!!)

Sue Sylvester is not to be fucked with.

Posted by: dammitjanet at May 6, 2010 1:01 PM

Beiber's hair looks like its trying to consume his head.

Posted by: chenry at May 6, 2010 1:16 PM

Mickey Rourke has some hair issues.

Posted by: Cindy at May 6, 2010 1:27 PM

My biggest problem with Justin Beiber is his poor judgement. Yes, I acknowledge that he is actually fairly talented as far as prepubescent singers go. Yes, his music videos do feature age-appropriate, normally dressed, non-anorexic girls. Yes, his friendship with rap stars is inexplicably adorable. I should totally be a fan (Shut up. There's a difference between good music and music that you only like because you hear it at everywhere -- parties, formals, the dining halls, street corners).

Anyway, I cannot condone his existence as a pop sensation for one reason: his grammar. Take the song "One Less Lonely Girl." WHAT WERE THE WRITERS THINKING? It should clearly be, "One Fewer Lonely Girls." And in "Baby," Ludacris raps, "She woke me up daily, don't need no Starbucks." It's just shoddy sentence construction. Shame on him for allowing his songs to be working against education in this country. He's infected millions of teenagers with his ignorance.

Posted by: esme at May 6, 2010 1:36 PM

Has anyone ever seen his forehead? I bet there's something weird, like some huge birthmark or an undeveloped twin. The twin probably has its own mini version of the Beiber.

Posted by: jR at May 6, 2010 1:37 PM

Oh my god, bob. You are so spot-on. It kinda makes you want to slap him back the other way to reset the whole thing.

I teach high school so I see this kind of thing a lot. Personally I call it the hair pile and actually it's about a year out of style at my school. Two years ago they were all constantly twitching and flicking and arranging and I think they got tired of it, thank God.

Posted by: AM at May 6, 2010 1:37 PM

Matt Smith is the ugliest hot guy I've ever seen.

Posted by: AM at May 6, 2010 1:40 PM

I think Matt's hair is mostly a matter of "what the fuck do I do with this? What can I do with this?"

It obviously can't be combed "normally", there'd be no way of making the top and back agree, but with a bit of length it just makes it own natural mess. My hair is ridiculous so I can relate.

Posted by: Jay at May 6, 2010 1:43 PM

Bieber has one of those faces, the ones that by 20 end up like they belong on a 40 year-old lesbian.

Posted by: BarbadoSlim at May 6, 2010 1:44 PM

Justin Bieber's hair "flick" isn't to keep it out of his eyes. It's how he keeps it falling forward so that he continues to look like a teenage idiot.
And it's now become a tick. If you've ever seen him on TV you will witness him do it approximately once every 4 seconds. It makes my brain hurt.

Posted by: Whorish Mouth at May 6, 2010 1:45 PM

1. Matt Smith is really starting to grow on me. Then again, his hair doesn't look quite so weird in the Doctor Who episodes as it does in that photo.

2. I believe the Bieber is actually prematurely bald, and this is the prepubescent comeover. Also, I keep wanting to call him "The Beaver."

3. I think RPatz is doing a Helena Bonham Carter. When pretty people want to discourage the hoards of screaming wet panties, they try to make themselves look ugly by being unwashed. By now they should realize that it doesn't work on fans. It only works on the people who didn't like them to start with. The fans just soak up the extra pheromones they reek of and go into heat.

Posted by: BWeaves at May 6, 2010 1:50 PM

The Bieber looks about 8 years old. Seriously. Is he taking some sort of pill to delay puberty?

Zac Efron looks like he's about half a second away from reaching through my monitor and cutting me.

Posted by: Jeni at May 6, 2010 1:54 PM

I don't tend to look at Matt Smith's hair cause I'm too busy looking at his elbow patches. THE MAN PULLS OFF ELBOW PATCHES. He fulfills all my lit. prof. fantasies.

Posted by: coveredinbees at May 6, 2010 1:57 PM

@Barbadoslim.
Too true. He does look like the bastard love child of a 40 something year old lesbian couple.
Donating sperm doesn't seem like so much fun anymore does it!

Posted by: peanut at May 6, 2010 2:00 PM

Matt Smith = Yes. Screw yewww!

Mr Walken's 'do is pretty impressive though.

Posted by: vdo86 at May 6, 2010 2:01 PM

The Pattinson = The Frankenstein monster that destroys souls.
(This could also be applied to the Bieber)

Posted by: Iris at May 6, 2010 2:08 PM

How could you not possibly list the "Trump" at #1?

Posted by: googelo at May 6, 2010 2:25 PM

The Beiber "do" isn't a wig?! Who knew.
It sits there so jauntily perched.

Posted by: Ms MoMo at May 6, 2010 2:30 PM

At least my ridiculous high school hair made people think I was on drugs, and not just an idiot.

Posted by: Jay at May 6, 2010 2:45 PM

coveredinbees: yes! And suspenders! He's absolutely adorable. Who cares about his hair?

Posted by: esme at May 6, 2010 3:05 PM

At least in that lower photo, Beiber looks like a dead ringer for Ellen Page.

Posted by: Irving Washington at May 6, 2010 3:15 PM

The Walken is the old man's The Adam Curry (80's MTV VJ- Jersey perfect hair)

Posted by: bananapanda at May 6, 2010 3:24 PM

Honestly, Esme, I feel like they made a Doctor just for me. They were like, what would she want? A tall, reedy nerd with a bow tie, suspenders and elbow patches? We can make that happen! Thank you, Moffat. Thank you.

Posted by: coveredinbees at May 6, 2010 3:36 PM

Miss Smith, age 9, is a staunch member of a very small group of girls at her school who say "Ewwwwwww" and call him Justin Boober. She has MIA, Santogold and LaRoux (she could have been on this list too) on her iTouch. I'm so proud of her good taste.

Smith, Jr., age 12, is trying to grow his hair longer for the summer, but I think he is trying for a Dr Who look, Smith or Tennant, but it could easily morph into a R Patz if he's not careful with his hair hygiene.

I can not tolerate those ridonkulous Bieber bangs on anyone!

Posted by: Mrs Smith at May 6, 2010 3:36 PM

Justin Beaver looks like an ugly version of Tegan and Sara.

Posted by: Steph at May 6, 2010 3:39 PM

Excuse me, I maaaay have to go watch Flesh and Stone again.

Posted by: coveredinbees at May 6, 2010 3:40 PM

Bieber was on Saturday Night Live a few months ago, and when he was singing (he could carry a tune, not horrible like Ke$ha), my boyfriend just watched him in slack-jawed amazement and asked "Is he the brother of that girl in the teenage pregnancy movie (Juno)?"

Posted by: scorzi at May 6, 2010 3:55 PM

Seriously there where TWO haircuts on that list. The Walken and the Sylvester.

Everything else was a variation of the same thing

Posted by: Nadine at May 6, 2010 4:15 PM

But you're lusting here, bees. There's nothing for me to join in with. :)

Posted by: Jay at May 6, 2010 4:17 PM

You could lust for Amy! That's allowed!

Posted by: coveredinbees at May 6, 2010 4:19 PM

Eugh, Matt Smith looks like a troll mated with Crispin Glover and made a hideous baby. But the Doctor Who fans are INSANE anyway so of course they find him attractive. Brrrrrrr.

I'm gonna tell popejenn that you're all making fun of her boyfriend RPattz.

Posted by: figgy at May 6, 2010 4:21 PM

Mickey Rourke has some hair issues.

Posted by: Cindy at May 6, 2010 1:27 PM

That's a serious understatement...
And I 100% agree that Tom Hank's DaVinci Code is one of the creepiest things I've seen in a man's head.

Posted by: Mariazinha at May 6, 2010 4:30 PM

You know why there are no unicorns in the world? RPattz has them all locked in his basement to fuck his coiffe every morning. Damn you RPattz! The world needs some magic!

Posted by: admin at May 6, 2010 4:33 PM

Admin are you saying that RPatzz has taken over the position previously held by Marc Almond and his thirst for semen????

Posted by: bob at May 6, 2010 4:42 PM

No, no, I'm just left thinking that, while you can see in my pictures that I have a few bow ties, I certainly look much more like the Second Doctor.

Posted by: Jay at May 6, 2010 4:46 PM

That kid in the photo (I assume the Bieber individual?) is what, about 8 years old? Yet, I've been seeing that hair "style" on the neighborhood kids for the past several years. So how come the influence is being attributed to him?

Posted by: PaddyDog at May 6, 2010 4:46 PM

Tall bastards.

Posted by: Jay at May 6, 2010 4:46 PM

Oh I only like tall bastards cause I'm a tall bitch. And no way you look like two, with his wonky eeeensy bow ties.

Posted by: coveredinbees at May 6, 2010 4:56 PM

I think "The Effron" is a look, at least. It's obviously the result of a highly-skilled stylist, even if it's not your thing.

I think there should be more women on this list. And, as somebody pointed out, Sylvester's is entirely explicable: she's growing it out. I've been there, I've been there. She's just normal enough not to get some ridiculous weave to mask the whole process.

Posted by: samantha t at May 6, 2010 4:59 PM

America's next model thing are releasing a Mr Potato Head and Matt Smith is the prototype.
Here's the pic that inspired Rpatzz coiffe.

Posted by: bob at May 6, 2010 5:27 PM

MUST DEFEND RPATTZ'S HONOR!!!

The Pattinson is using the unicorn semen to style his locks. It's created an ENCHANTED FUCKING FOREST of hair that I wish to run my hands through, grip and ride that fucking pony until I broke it.
...and now I have Pony by Ginuine in my head.

You people just have no sense of wonder left. I mean what do you style your hair with? I'll bet you it's just gel. Pffft.

Posted by: popejenn at May 6, 2010 6:04 PM

@coveredinbees
Ohh the things we could talk about!

I actually brought up suspenders on the blog at work because I just finished watching an episode. I have gotten people on board! My shift on Friday: Suspenders Day! (I would wear the whole getup but I don't think it would fly with dress code, not to mention I can't really pull off a bow tie)

Ah, I wish I was the Doctor.

Posted by: vdo86 at May 6, 2010 6:28 PM

We would use unicorn semen popejenn but that asshole is hogging all the fucking Aquajizz for himself. I want some semen tooerrrrrr nevermind.

Posted by: admin at May 6, 2010 7:10 PM

No one has mentioned Russell Brand?

Or, as I like to call him, Hurricane Head?

Posted by: Notorious VMG at May 6, 2010 7:26 PM

Also I keep looking but can't find the Sue Sylvester quote about her hair. It was in the Madonna episode, when Mercedes and Kurt were talking about a makeover for her? I really can't remember what she said, but it was (of course) fantastic.

Posted by: figgy at May 6, 2010 7:57 PM

I actually brought up suspenders on the blog at work

I bought some suspenders for my tuxedo last year when I decided I'd be...Ten When He Wears His Tuxedo (luckily I was glad to rediscover that he wore it several times, and not just "Voyage Of The Damned") because, well, I had a tuxedo and a sonic screwdriver, I could make a costume out of this just by buying black (formal) Converse. They really help with a tuxedo. Formal shirts are real baggy and boxy and you just feel slovenly, so the suspenders helps you feel pulled together (literally even). I was pisssed to discover that my wing collar didn't match his flat collar, but I was not buying another shirt for a cheap ad-hoc costume!

Tying a bow tie is a maddening, maddening business, until you learn that it's a shoelace bow and that you must just let your fingers do it from memory without thinking about it.

Also, the Bieber picture is still scaring and angering me.

Posted by: Jay at May 6, 2010 8:12 PM

admin, it's not HIS fault the unicorn are naturally drawn to his jawline. Ghawd.
And we all know you want semen. Seeing it yourself, in writing, is rather a revelation, is it not?

Posted by: popejenn at May 6, 2010 8:13 PM

The Walken is an architectural masterpiece.

Posted by: MelBivDevoe at May 6, 2010 9:00 PM

Has anyone else noticed that Bieber looks like Ellen Page?

Posted by: dsbs at May 6, 2010 10:37 PM

I see I am NOT the only one. Thank you Irving Washington.

Posted by: dsbs at May 6, 2010 10:42 PM

For everyone who dares make fun of my generation for spawning the mullet, I offer you: The Bieber.

Also slightly amused that the show "Doctor Who" has become hot in recent years (I was watching it in the 80s when only nerds watched it), then again Matt Smith is quite a few notches up the thermometer from some of the early Doctors.

Posted by: Noelegy at May 7, 2010 12:30 AM

Does anyone else wonder what the back of Bieber's hair looks like?

Posted by: Jana at May 7, 2010 11:24 AM

Gotta say I'm with hh. The David Lynch would be the most awesome hairstyle if it could be worn by us mere mortals.

Posted by: Jacktrade at May 7, 2010 11:34 AM

Still scared and angered. I want to kick him in the teeth and then take a big shuddering leap back, like I'd just had to swat a monster roach.

Posted by: Jay at May 7, 2010 12:57 PM

Bieber's hair is Efron's hair taken to its logical yet absurd conclusion.

Posted by: stopthemadness at May 7, 2010 7:26 PM

Bieber's hair is what happens if you give Cousin It a bowl-cut and a blow-dry.

I agree with Sofia, he looks like he took a dip in the Osmond gene pool. And I bet the reason he has that haircut is the same reason Donny used to have a similar cut - he's hiding an enormous fivehead under there!

The Walken is like a national treasure or something. Respect The Walken.

Posted by: Tarn at May 7, 2010 8:32 PM

Being at the end of my brooding teenage years, I cannot tell you how many boys I know who are currently sporting the Justin Beiber. And I've seen them maintain it. Yes--it does take maintenance. They must constantly flip their hair to the side of their choosing in order to get that effortless wave. Observing them do this countless times a day actually gets painful.

A whole generation of whiplash victims... Tragic.

Posted by: DontStopNow at May 8, 2010 2:30 PM

People always like celebrities, but I think those in uniform deserve more respect. They defend our country and safeguard our policy. Join M i l i t a r y f l i r t i n g.c o m, show your love and respect to our military heroes.

Posted by: lily at May 10, 2010 10:27 AM

first, i didn't even recognize that JB has the same hairstyle as Miley Heizer aka Drew Holt in Parenthood, but I tell you Heizer totally beats JB! Heizer looks much better with the hairstyle whereas JB looks awful, not to add that there's not even one second when Heizer has to flick his hair aside!

oh btw, agree that Patz's hairstyle is way more than quirky. He looks like a tornado just blew him hard. On the head.

Posted by: alice at June 14, 2010 1:26 PM

Dayum; I've had the Sylvester for years during high school. I would cut it myself because I had been growing out the Winona Ryder and was too cheap to afford real haircuts. I thought it looked fine. It didn't.

Eventually I left it alone long enough to grow into the Margot Tennenbaum, which was nice, and now it's just been the Kristen Stewart ever since. I'm mourning the loss of Ugly Girl Hair lately...

Justin Beiber is a wannabe Tegan and Sara. But that's okay, who doesn't want to be them? But he didn't have to go lesbian for them!
