I hate the word ratchet, but when I see hairstyles that are a little tasteless that’s the only word I can think of to describe them. I’m sure at one time or other we have all committed one of these hair crimes (who hasn’t kept braids in for a little too long) but sometimes the crimes get so brazen that someone just has to say something.
If you hate the word ratchet like I do, then forgive me now because I may be using it more than once. You are in for a treat (or an eyesore) as I give you my picks for what I think are the worst crimes of hair fashion.
Visible Wig Line
The whole world and their mother wants to wear lace wigs* these days but they simply don’t look good on everyone. It is all about looking as natural and seamless as possible when choosing a wig*. Why then do some women want to make it as plainly obvious as possible that they are wearing one?
The wig line is that area of the wig that is supposed to mimic your own natural hair line, but let’s face it, some of the lower quality ones will never look natural. Having said that, how natural a wig looks really depends among other things on the skill of the person applying it. There are ratchet looking $25.99 and $799.99 lace wigs* out there.
Rule of thumb, if you have a naturally low forehead/hairline no amount of talent will make a lace wig look great on you and it’s time to to admit that they are simply not for you. If you can’t make a lace wig look natural, pick one that has bangs where it is easy to hide the wig* line. Alternatively a partial weave, a fall or a quick weave may be the best solution for you. They look a bit more natural and a lot less hideous.
I LOVE THOSE HAIRSTYLES … THE WACKIER THE BETTER! I love that you can find things like this amongst us black woman …Aint nothing about black woman is cookie cutter. Some like the pretty lil flower clip but then some of us like a lil fanstasy and whimsy in our daily lives. just to let the facts be known finger waves grow your hair. its a great protective style for some people. when you wear your hair in a hard gel style it can last for a week and for some people two weeks. my hair was 6 inches in length when using them hard gels styles. that was actually the longest my hair grew was during that time. care free maintenance and inexpensive. when you mix weaves with the finger weaves that’s when you can get into trouble or too tight ponytails. my hair was hard, inexpensive but beautiful. . if you want a soft finger wave to last you better go see Eva ‘s stylist cause she must be doing that every morning and most women cant afford that.
I was thinking the same thing almost. I honestly hate articles like this because they come off prejudice towards Black Americans. These might be considered “hair crimes” but why are they only targeted towards Black Americans? Honestly, as much we don’t like it, it’s their culture and we should respect it because at the end of the day, we have to stop this crabs in a bucket syndrome. Now much do you want to bet that White people will be doing this in the next ten years? Oh wait they already do but it’s looked as “trendy” and “fashionable” and “runway”. Black people wake up. Racism is staring us in the face and we continue to egg it on.
I’m thinking these are hair show styles not worn in public,
Let’s hope so
Oh..they wear em here in florida!Ive seen a few..in all colors of the rainbow.lol
hmmm

This looks like hair show hair. I love the talent from these artist.
Embarrassing hair weaves ashamed of this YUCK!!!!
Beautiful.. The last one I would wear..
Hair hat
Unless these were for a hair show they should shave off and start again.
I like 1 and 4. Seems like they are for a hair show.
I think these hairstyles showcase someone’s talent. While you may not think these hairstyles are “acceptable” you know where to go if you wanted one of them. I see precision cuts, perfect blending and excellent use of colors. Not everything has to be so negative.

Nienke van Aarle zit er iwts vokr jou tussen ??

TF
l like them all, just wouldn’t wear them, they are true hair stoppers.
No way!!!! I wouldn’t wear this for a hair show.
Hair school only
The two at thee bottom is cute
I don’t even like extreme for hair shows. I want to see something at a show that I would actually wear. I go to the circus if I want to see clowns.
Audrey Anne Heusz !!!!
Yvrose Merizier
No!
Hair show only!! These hairstylist do have talent, but this is not hair for everyday.
I like the Mohawk…
Ummm no.no no
Nobody but Seaborn!!!! Stop hating on that man’s creativity….. Not many stylist can think outside the box like this, and not many clients are brave enough to wear these styles…. Round of applause to Seaborn HairStyles
Wahahaaa wauww
Lol, wow
Bottom right is not bad. The rest are creative, but not something I would rock. But I’m down with people expressing themselves any way they want.
Art
Tf all ratchet . Duh
I hope this is for a hair show cuz ordinary day life that would be just tacky
They might be for hair shows but some people wear this for the club or a concert…
It’s not just these four styles, it’s an entire article/slide show from bad lace fronts to tiny ponytails.
NO NO!!!!!!!..ONLY BLACK PPL!!!!!!!!!
I spot ratchetivity!
Yeah these are a bit much for daily wear. If u are a part of fashion week or u are walking dwn the run way these are a uhh uhh no dnt
Belle art!!!
Faye M. Jordan take note
I will wear these hairstyles for a show only…
Alby Renee
Ugly as hell.
They look quite editorial but then again I have seen people leaving Celebrity Seaborn’s salon on Youtube sporting styles like these so I’m guessing some women like extreme styling.
A hot mess

Hair Shows
Ugly, ugly, and more ugly!!!! Smh
Love the top left x
Omg NO
Love em all except that leopard print
These are beautiful in their own way and everything is not for everyody so if these styles don’t apply-let em’ fly. But…I bet most of the negative comments are from fat broads w/low confidence and jacked-up busted weaves anyway.
Creative and artistic!

Valérie Ndaywel Lina Boudia Diedi Ntoya
Camellia Ganga it gives me a true Friesian
Why does art have to be called ghetto. Do they call white girls ghetto who have multi color hair? It may not be for everyday, but these artists have skills or skillz. Ijs.
THIS!
They don’t call em ghetto they call em tacky & wild …. usually for rock stars & teenage crisis …. lol
I see weave to have an artistic side kind of couture no its not ment for every day but its artistic and creative well I think so anyway, they do crazy things with hair on the runway all the time
Ghetto!
If this is for a hair show, then that w would be fine, but you have folks walking around outside like this.
Ratchet and ghetto are the only two words that come to mind. I don’t get why anyone finds it even remotely cute but whatever, just not my thing.
a horror!
The stylist definitely have precision…..very artistic
But I would rock the last one….just not in pink lol
Hair to many is a form of expression. And the stylists that created these styles are artists and I love the work. Very neat and my favorite is the upper left corner, just beautiful!
People just look at us and know Where America’s Most Ignorant Group
I agree Nona Lori Brown Amoruso Kris Casimier. Very creative and beautiful. Some ppl look at it as just hair. I look at it as art.
It’s creative however it would depend on what you do for a living that matters ( if it’s working in an office, not appropriate) but if is in the field of art/fashion, it might not matter…
Ewww
First of all black women are always put down n called ratchet n ghetto for wearing hair syles like these but when anyother woman who is not black does it she is seen as creative and cool and artistic. these hairstyle are unique and they are n fact art n they look dope to me and black women should be able to wear hairstyles like these without being disrespected.
I understand these hair styles@ a hair show in the creative hair category but as a on the street style. …..Nope!!!
Would u take your doctor, teacher, lawyer, real estate booker …..etc. seriously if they show up in any of these get up? Again a hair show, ueah. Keep it on the stage.
those are hair style shows… that is NOT everyday hair. Its to show creativity and skill with the craft. Its easy to flat iron and curl, but how many can create that? #skill
Oh mylanta. Jesus take the wheel.
Everything has a place….these are fashion show…party type hairstyles…wearing this routinely everyday…would be just as ‘biazarre’ as it looked to onlookers! Everything has a place!
pouahahaha
All ugly
Y would anybody do this to their self
Wtf!!!
the last ones are pretty dope
No, no, no, and NO! LOL
You know its super creative like the hair shows
Mel.
Why?!?!???,
Im in cosmetology school and these same hairstyles were shown to us. These styles belong to Very creative hair stylists who were in a FANTASY HAIR SHOW…NO ONE is rocking these styles day to day. Its all in fun and art. These shows are to show the creativity and passion for hair. I love my career.
As soon as the show is over they take their hair down….
