A different kind of photo-thread...?

[Hypnotica]

I got this idea when reading a post from frannyg. Why not post pics of our hair when we thinks it looks awful?

What do you think?

[Carina]

This is my hair at it's worst:((apl)http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg2/Elin-Carina/Bild022.jpg

[Carina]

It seems like I'm the only one brave enough to do it.I refuse to believe that I'm the only one with less than perfect hair.

[hrimfaxi]

I actually wanted to start a thread like this, but slightly different -- "post your hair when you first roll out of bed". :twisted:

[Hypnotica]

It seems like I'm the only one brave enough to do it.I refuse to believe that I'm the only one with less than perfect hair.

Noo...I'm in! I have freshly washed hair atm, but I can provide you with this:

HAHA whenever a camera comes near me, the shutter is unable to catch me if my hair's a mess. But here's a picture of me when I still had short hair that curled ALL BY ITSELF, my bangs, and it all got greasy after 2 hours!! AGH I'm so glad it's not that short anymore and I did a product-switch.

[Neon Gloss]

...Now that I look at it, the entire picture is very unflattering. :P But that was some good cake.

[khyricat]

I need to take some pictures when its not fresh washed..

[freznow]

I normally just delete them right off the camera if they're bad!

Here's one though. I had just taken out the Arwen braid, hadn't even combed it, and this is the result. EW!

http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k132/freznow/waves003.jpg

I'm glad to have this thread. It reminds me that no ones hair is always as perfect as we see in the pictures, and that even mine isn't *superincredibly* awful. It's just a picture, and flash likes to mess with things...

Hehe..I have some

Dec.'07

My dirty greasy hair after sleeping with a braided bun that was brushed out in the morning. I could hardly force it into a pony..like a monster :uhh:

2)
Sept.'07
http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb129/chieeEMIchiee/sept07.jpg

After moving to the states my hair was horrible..I had a mjaor shed which really affected my ends (the hand behind the hair is supposed to demonstrate the transparence) and on top of that the burts bees shampoo made my hair super stringy and waxy..:wail:

That photo shows my hair let down from a bun btw...how can it look this messy by just being un-bunned??

I have more horrible photos..I tend to share them to get support :blushing: I also collect them in a folder to see how my hair improves.

[Hypnotica]

Emichiee - I like the last pic. There is something about your hair that is stunning.

[doodlesmart]

Ooooh! I want to play. I have a couple of pretty hideous hair pictures.

so were those bad enough for this thread????????

[Guenever]

basak - that's your hair when it's so hideous, unmanagable, dull and thin looking that it's well on the way to make you cry in desperation and despair?? O_o
Oh wow, you're one lucky lady!! :lol:

Not sure if I like my hair like this or not. I'd just been down the beach, and gone swimming in the sea. This is my hair practically dry and untouched after I'd finished swimming.
I quite like the way you can see all the different colours in my hair, but am not so keen with the frizziness going on around my head!

[ReadingRenee]

This is kind of funny for me to be posting in this thread because I haven't ever posted a picture of my hair except in my journal and my first one will be one I consider "bad".

This is my length pic from last month. Its not as nice as my hair can look because its kind of see through on the ends, its flipping out in weird directions, and its very piecey. Not that there is anything wrong with piecey, its just not a normal look for my hair.

Unfortunately I tend to delete the really bad pictures of my hair immediately so this is the best I can do for now. :)

Oh wow, I want "bad hair" days like some of you have them! ;)

Here's a triple whammy of oiled, frizzy, and kinky braid waves from last summer:

OK, here it is. My picture of freshly washed, air-dried hair without combing. I did that for hair typing purpose. Normally I alway comb while it's wet and tame the frizz in some ways. :) With that hideous shirt (donated it btw) I looked creepy.

My hair looks its worse when just air dried and over oiled- but coincidentally feels its best- that is why is looks shocking and piecey a lot!

I have more bad hair days- photobucket is playing up so i just can't upload them. hehe.

That is the reason why I started this thread. :)

[ilovelonghair]

What a cool thread! I must say the pictures are not that bad, it all looks like uncombed hair to me. I have this picture, but it's in my storage and I don't know in which box (out of the countles boxes) it is in. But a description:

I once had a boyfriend who I let cut my hair.... it ended up in what I call the whippersnipper (a devise to cut grass with) look. It was like that awful razor cut hair that lots of women have nowadays, but this was years ago when it was not in fashion. It looked so awful: no volume and just pieces sticking out from everywhere.

[WavyGirl]

Here are mine (http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/album.php?albumid=472) I put them in a private album as they show my face and that of DD.

[FrannyG]

Well, since I was the inspiration for this thread, I must contribute too! This is my favourite messy hair photo. It was taken on a beach last March. I'm wearing my favourite halfup, but look at the length of my hair! Yes, it was windy out, but my hair goes piecey anyway. Enjoy! :) (BTW, for those of you who were not here a year ago, yes, I was blonde).

Yeah "if' I had waves, sleekness and straightness kills volume ^^

I have worse pictures at home these were just the ones I had at hand, so be prepared ;)

Someone mentioned that most pics dont look bad at all. Explanation - 1) we are all more critical with ourselves and 2) I think noone has the most gorgeus locks in the siggie but IRL hideous hair :lol:, so dont expect the "celebs without Make Up Effect" ;)

I used to hate some pictures I took back in 2006 but if I look at them now they are not too bad actually..feel the same way about many old pictures.

I'm the blond on the right. This was taken 2002 about a year after the big chop. I was on the Ocracoke Ferry and decided inside was better than sickseaness outside! No that is not a barf bag I am holding! Sorry for the size.

Oh, frannyg, can you come and be my best friend ;)? I love your hairstyles, I wish I knew someone who would style mine for me. I can do some of the cool styles, but they always end up too loose or crooked or something because I get tired or some other screwy reason.

Bad hair? I got one!

It was taken on our 2006 vacation in Jamaica. My hair was damp and tangled from the moment we got there until the day we left. Talk about humidity! Plus the chlorinated pool and the ocean water were awful on it. It took me all day to untangle it when we got home.

Hey - Johnny Depp is sure giving you the eye, though! ;o) Of course, he was having a bit of a "bad hair day" in the pirate gear, though it didn't look bad at all on him.

Sadly, these "my worse hair" pictures are better than most of the "good" hair pictures. What's wrong with this equation????

I'd be ashamed even to post my 'good hair days' next to some of these pictures. :p


Now... this picture here is one of the worst photographs I have of my hair. Summer 2003, I think, on holiday in France. If it weren't for the disgraceful hair, it would be a lovely, romantic sort of picture. But alas. It wasn't just a bad hair day. It was a bad hair era. It was a state. :(


http://www.faefly-records.co.uk/hair/looking_out_to_sea.jpg

Granted, the salt and the wind probably don't help. It was overdue for a wash (clearly) and also totally fried from bad handling and far too long blowdrying on maximum heat!


.... but it's okay; it was a LONG TIME AGO! :cool: *phew*

[aprilmay]

I don't seem to have that many pics readily available. Something to work towards! A horrifying shot of dirty, snarled hair.

[redcelticcurls]

I agree with the others who say that most of the pics aren't "bad" enough. :lol:

I think that Xandergrammy's is my favorite. I love the curly poofiness and just the whole composition of picture in general. That was the first time I had seen it, and it made me smile.

This is such a great thread!! You know it is very rare that I read something and *literally* laugh out loud, like I am here.

I have one I *should* have been too embarrassed to post but was actually my first sig pic! (well I just looked at it and maybe it's not *quite* as bad as I remembered). Blurry, braid waves, too crimped at the bottom, seperated, and from an angle that may make it look shorter than it was. And in retrospect
going out hiking on a 103 degree day was maybe not the best choice.

(edited:faepirate I think that is an amazing gorgeous photograph of you!! I am envious, the lighting is so perfect! I think your hair may not look perfect but doesn't look near as bad as you may think. )

Okay, so unlike the rest of the people in this thread who apparently don't have bad hair days, I've got a good one for you. And I can't even disassociate from this picture because I took it today. Only a few hours ago-- people, there is no excuse.

So, I'd just been whining about how my hair has thinned out a bit over the past 6 months, and I had a new hairstick but I was feeling down on my hair, so I didn't want to take a picture. And then I wanted to try out the new hairstick, and I stuck it in a fast easy hairstick bun, which stayed really well, and eventually, I wanted to take a picture, to see how it was looking... and got even more depressed. :shrug: This is unwashed for 2 days, uncombed, slightly matted from having my hair down with the window open in my car hair, people. In a bun.

I left out the less obvious things, like the messyness, the weird wavy bit heading down on the right side, the fact that the hairstick makes my bun look anorexic, etc...
I think it's funny that my hair really looks like it's got a goiter! :D

Chloe, you are not only your own worst critic, because that's *not* bad hair, but you're also hilarious!!!:rolling:

This was my hairtyping photo. Nice and orange and frizzy. Looks like I stuck my finger in an electric socket.

Here is the result of plopping. HATE. SO. BAD. Just looks like I stuck my finger in the electric socket again!

And personally I blame the lighting on this one. My hair isn't thin or frizzy in the least, oh no.

Hi-jack

ilovemycop

you DO know that your hair is beautiful right? I love your hair in your new siggy pic. Gorgeous waves. :)

End Hi-jack

awww I have never gotten a hair compliment before :love: When I changed my siggy pic,I've gotten quite a few and I LOVE it!! thanks so much :flowers:

[heidihug]

I remembered this thread when I was going through some pics tonight. And here is one at first glance that seems ok - I mean, the hair on top is still holding it's own with some curl and it's pretty neat looking. But check out the hair peeking out from behind my back there. It is a tangled mess - after just two hours of being down! In fact, this was the last time that I wore my hair down in public - August of last year! It took me 45 minutes of finger combing just to get the knots out.http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=611&pictureid=6369

[Mrs_Zombie]

Ok, so i just took these pictures specifically for this thread. Mind you i haven't washed my hair in a week and i don't comb it. Also, you can see my roots, which is good because i have decided to not dye my hair anymore (stopped in october of last year), although i will continue to dye my pink stripe. A girl's gotta have some color :D

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c70/EmsWay/pinkside.jpg
This is the side that always waves more than the other. I don't know why that is but one side of my head is straighter than the other. LOL

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c70/EmsWay/hump.jpg
I have this weird hump on the other side. SHRUG

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c70/EmsWay/cowlick.jpg
My cowlick. Here's where you can see all my new growth!!! YAY!!

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c70/EmsWay/back.jpg
And, although i did iron my hair, you can still see the wave in it and how it goes in two different directions. (Also to show off my length, even though i had a bad cut which i cried about but we won't get into that)

Now THAT'S bad hair ;)

[SearMeCarefully]

Okay, I'll play!

This photo was taken not long after I joined LHC - it was my first profile pic. I had plopped before this photo.

This is an older picture.. this is what happens when you straighten curly hair.. it doesn't last long and tries to go kinda wavy where it can
oh yeah.. and I was messing with my friends stuff to annoy him hwa hwa hwa

what my hair looks like when I try a french twist usually..
http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n78/SearMeCarefully/firstfrenchtwist006.jpg

And finally this.. A half up french twist since the other one.. well.. you can see it... once again those french twists kill me.. note to self: never do hair wet in an updo - you get bald patches..

http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n78/SearMeCarefully/hair006.jpg

[heidihug]

never do hair wet in an updo - you get bald patches..
Oh my heck, searmecarefully, that is so true! I always have to wait until it is at least halfway dry, or I have bald spots showing through and odd little loopy bits sticking out all over the place. I actually like your dry hair french twist. That's an interesting style you were going for on that second pic...:cool:.

[Beesweet]

Okay, ya'alls hair on a bad day looks like mine every day of the week.
Only mine is SHORT.
I'm gonna have to step up my game.

[Altocumulus]

I have so many horrible photos from the disastrous postpartum chop and triangle head growing out phase, but they're not in digital format, so you're all spared their hideousness. :silly:

This one was actually my sig photo for a while because my monitor was so bad that I didn't realize just how awful it was -

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c351/cumulus9/bun.jpg

Also note the truly awful color correction. My hair is not glowing neon orange! And the lack of focus. And the frizz!

[SearMeCarefully]

Lol oh yeah that second style is a blast.. I'll post up what it looked like all neat and tidy (sorta) sometime soon in my album

[Unnamed]

These have both been seen, and I'm one of those that'll post my bad pics, too. I've posted ones where either the top of my head or the ends aren't even in the pic. :oops:

But, for amusement (both from this last November):

First, a fairly 'normal' bad french twist:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v514/UnnamedGryffon/2007c/nov_frenchtwistish.jpg
The extra loose hair at the top is a big reason why I stopped wearing french twists. :lol:

The other reason is.....

Die, french twist, die!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v514/UnnamedGryffon/2007c/nov_frenchtwistdie.jpg

That was the official death of the french twist, as it lost it's guts. :doh: It was a chance picture, as by the time I set the camera down it had fallen out completely, fork and all. I had started to lean forward when I took the pic, as I had hoped it'd stay together. Er, apparently not. :eek:

The second was, actually, an attempt to improve on the firstt. :oops:

[Kallisti]

I'll join in! Note the visible tangling in the middle portion of the fuzzy, straggly, uncombed ends.

Great thread! This is my hair before I started letting it grow. I look at it now and wonder, what was I thinking........

[tiny_teesha]

mira-chan- what are you kidding! Your hair looks so vomuninous! I wish i had lion ears!!!!
emi-chee- What are you saying, your hair is gorgeous in that "stringy" picture!!! Stringy is better then frizzy imo.
kissedbyfyre - i am acutally putting your photo in my inspiration file!
Nat242- i rememeber that picture too and i just remember who you are from the old forums now! I have a horrible memory with names but that picture, i can recognise you now! (ps- i too thought that picture was AWESOME!) What is with this term "brassy"...brassy is cool! It's not like the word britany! (that was a joke, i don't normally bag out celebs, i feel sorry for her LEAVE HER ALONE- ok there was another one...i just ate chocolate-it's explainable! haha)

SearMeCarefully - ok, i'll totally admit it, your second photo is probably the only "bad" hair! lol. Was your hair plotting against you? (i'm saying this in good fun, i'm not trying to offend you!) But seriously, you could wear that on the red carpet or the catwalk and look really artistic and cool at the same time... But if my hair did that i would cry and cut it out. There have been some tangles i get fed up trying to untangle and then i RIP! through them....

If photo bucket was working right now you guys would all have to cover your eyes. I took some AWEFUL photos last week! You would need to scrub your eyes out of your skulls- and it will even rival SearMeCarefully's photo times 10!!! (see i truely think that one is actually kind of cool...!!!)

Tending not to keep bad hair pics, it's slim pickings, but ...

http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=579&pictureid=6633

Looking back at this picture from just over a year ago, and considering the improvements I've made with my hair by being at LHC for about three months, I cringe a little at the bushy-ness and the way the hemline looks so strange.
Those horrid metal clips I had worn for years and years ... I got rid of them upon joining LHC. I'm sure they caused a massive amount of damage over time --hair always got caught in them.

i then....COMBED it...do not know what possessed me to do so...then i had to take a photo to remind myself not to repeat that event...EVER! haha

[n3m3sis42]

This makes me so sad, mainly because of the bitter irony of the situation in which this photo was taken. My husband thought my hair looked pretty and spontaneously decided to take a picture of it.

http://www.angryhornet.com/images/hurr/bad_hair_pic.jpg

*sigh*

This was only last weekend. Scalp cleavage, thin ends, and frizzies. I don't even get frizzies often, but the hotel we were at had hard water and I don't think my hair enjoyed the WO wash I gave it. It also looks like it has no shine and is oily, which it wasn't.

(On the plus side, it was still drying here, and it did look better after I combed it out again.)

Okay, for my example of bad hair days, I refer all ya'll to my sig photo. Hair cleavage, loops, and so greasy it's a whole shade darker than my normal color. I need to redo that hairstyle and replace that picture! And this time, I'll clean the toothpaste off the mirror first. :D

I really love this thread. It's so liberating. In any case, most of these photos don't look nearly as bad as you all seem to think.

Anyway. This thread is making me laugh. My worst pic is in my album(can't figure out how to link). Its the first pic I ever posted on LHC. At the time I thought it looked kinda good. Arrrgh!

We are all *so* our own worst critics.

[may1em]

Doodlesmart,
My hair looks just like that (your last pic) by about the fourth day after a washing. Like exactly, right down to the extra puffiness at the ends.

I just double checked, but we don't have the same hair type except for thickness (i'm at the other end of wavy and most of my hair is baby fine so on a bad day it sticks out more!). Odd. :P

[silverwoods]

Lol! It totally was! it was all mad at me for making it go into that weird shape and spraying it with black stuff..it took so long, I have little patience as well after so long I tend to rip through it. I think there was a lotion bottle somewhere in that mess too.. (to get the height.. what, thats normal right?) :lol:
