83 Hairstyle Disasters That Prove Not Every Creative Idea Should Actually Be Attempted

A few decades later, hair became a much louder form of self-expression. The punk movement of the 1970s and 1980s pushed traditional ideas about beauty aside with shaved sections, dramatic spikes, and bright colors. 

These styles were meant to stand out. For many people, they also became a way to show rebellion and separate themselves from the mainstream.

Today, we can borrow from almost any era and wear whatever feels right to us. A style that once looked shocking can come back into fashion years later, while something everyone seemed to love may suddenly feel dated. 

That freedom is part of what makes experimenting with hair so much fun. Of course, it still does not mean every idea will work out. If the mirror delivers bad news, at least there is one comforting thing to remember: thankfully, it grows back.
