2. Mullet
Despite its claim that this hairstyle is business up front and party in the back, it's up to you whether or not you agree. The mullet is quite the controversial hairstyle with people either supporting it or hating it. It has made a recent comeback with younger generations, but that doesn't mean people have changed their strong opinions about it.
3. Short Bobs
Short bobs that end above the chin are a hit or miss for most people. It really depends on your face shape whether or not this look suits you! For some, they might claim it's an outdated hairstyle the adds a couple of years to your age.
4. Rat Tails
In all honesty, we don't quite know how to defend this unique look. Leaving behind an extra long bunch of hair, it's tied up and braided to resemble a long rat's tail. You don't see it very often anymore but it's definitely one that will leave you scratching your head should you come across it.
5. Frosted Tips
Creating a sharp contrast in color and texture, frosted tips were once a popular trend in the early 2000s. It's safe to say the fad has ended though, with many people looking back in horror at this strange choice in hairstyle. It's not impossible to rock, it's just pretty hard to make work.
6. Bowl Cuts
For girls and boys alike, bowl cuts are typically seen as a hairstyle that's difficult to make look good. Known for its bulbous look and feel, it's hard to come across as anything but childish when rocking it. All it does is add more roundness to your overall face.
7. Buzz Cut
The buzz cut is definitely a good example of a haircut that can look great on the right people. Depending on your face and head shape, the buzz cut might compliment some of your features while washing them out for others. You certainly want to think it through before cutting your hair that short.
8. Man Buns
For men with lengthy locks, you might want to think twice about whether man buns are suited for you. For some, it'll be a handsome and masculine addition to your appearance, but for others, it might come across a bit more differently. Man buns are pretty split among most individuals, with many either loving or hating it.
9. Pixie Cuts
Pixie cuts are simply difficult haircuts for women to rock. It's not impossible, it's just not made for everyone. For some, it can make you look too old, too young, or not quite in line with your facial features. If it works for you though, it has the perfect balance of youthfulness and elegance.
10. The Skrillex
By shaving off one side of your head, you're left with contrasting hair that creates quite the angsty look. We're not entirely sure this one is well-suited for formal events, but it's definitely an outgoing one that'll work for you if it speaks to your personality. Just remember, once it's shaven off, you can't go back!
1. Long & Straight
Sometimes, plain and simple is the best way to go. With long and straight hair, the possibilities for styling are endless! Tie it into a bun, curl it for some volume, put it up in a ponytail, the options are totally up to you.
2. Beachy Waves
For something a bit more soft and subtle, beachy waves can really compliment your face and frame it beautifully. They work in every scenario and give your hair that extra bit of oomph if simple and straight isn't what you're looking for.
3. Quiff
Brushed up and back, the quiff is a classic hairstyle that's been popular for decades. It's a timeless look that feels nearly impossible to mess up and works great for so many different people. At this point it's an easy go-to cut all men can appreciate and rely on.
4. Side-Swept Bangs
Giving you a youthful appearance, side-swept bangs will never go out of style. Framing the forehead in a flattering way, it can really accentuate facial features in the right people.
5. The French Crop
Giving men some nice texture to the top of their heads, the French Crop consists of short hair around the sides with a slightly longer fringe on top. It's a very attractive hairstyle that's well-suited for a variety of people and can even help those with receding hairlines.
6. Caesar Cut
If you love short hair, consider getting the Caesar cut which features short and straight cut bangs layered all around. The sides can be done to your choosing too! With the finished look being so clean and simple, you won't be disappointed.
7. Pompadour
While the modern pompadour is a bit more toned down than the classic giant "pomp" on top, this haircut continues to be one of the most popular in America. It's super stylish and when done right, looks sleek and smooth on anybody.
8. Blunt Lob
One of the most natural hairstyles on this list, the Blunt Lob is an effortless look that feels universal and works for everyone. Your hair typically falls between the chin and your shoulder, an area that is super flattering for most people.

10. Curly To The Max
For some people, extremely curly hair is natural, while for others, it's created with hard spent effort. Regardless of how you achieved the look, you can rest assured knowing it's a timeless hairstyle that adds so much beautiful volume to your hair.
