It’s time for another Best Of/Worst Of List courtesy of Blender Magazine. This week the popular music mag is counting down “The 13 Worst Hair Trends In Music.” The Mullet, The High-Top Fade, The Bowl-Cut-which was worse!?

Style: The Bleach Job
Description: Some did it to stand out, others did it all for the nookie. Whatever the reason, bald men everywhere cried for the abuse of healthy hair follicles. It did, however, make it tremendously easy for Spring Breakers to find their drunken white-mopped friends on a busy dance floor.
Era: Late ’90s
Main Culprits: Sugar Ray, Eminem, Fred Durst, Everclear, Goldfinger
Keeping It Alive: Larry Birkhead

Style: The High-Top Fade
Description: The dawn of hip-hop brought the sound of the streets to the mainstream charts, as the MCs of the ’80s rose straight to the top. Unfortunately, that was also the blueprint for their hairstyle. Whether you were East Coast, West Coast, gangsta or b-boy, if you weren’t rocking the high tower, you were just another sucka.
Era: Mid-’80s–early ’90s
Main Culprits: Kid ‘N Play, De La Soul, Boyz II Men, New Edition, Bell Biv DeVoe
Keeping It Alive: Guile from Street Fighter

Style: The Mullet
Description: Business in front, party in back and white trash all around. This gem of a hairdo has become a major fixation in pop culture, leaving many trailer park tenants feeling cheated and robbed. Hey, it got John Stamos a gig drumming for the Beach Boys didn’t it?
Era: ‘80–present
Main Culprits: Billy Ray Cyrus, Bono, Michael Bolton and most country music singers
Keeping It Alive: Dee Snider, country music
