No. 9: Pin-Straight Hair

Why are readers sick of this look? Well, it's not exactly exciting or attention getting, and it's a heck of a lot of work (especially for us wavy or curly girls). They say it's OK to show some natural texture if you've got it.

Some I still like, couple of them I don't but each their own I suppose.

Katie Holmes cut is still cute.

by Ydabney Tuesday, January 8, 2013 at 01:11PM Report as inappropriate

I think most of these are pretty cute, except for the bobs.

sideswept bangs look overgrown. They are when they are too long to have naturally over your forehead and too short to pull back. The other styles are what they are. I think most are OK except the black and blonde look, ugh.

hmmm im not tired of most of these

by Nicole2814 Tuesday, July 24, 2012 at 07:24PM Report as inappropriate

I'm still okay with most of these styles...

by GingerDrink Wednesday, June 20, 2012 at 09:30PM Report as inappropriate

ok all of the good looking, low maintenance hair styles have been mentioned what in the world are we supposed to wear then? >,> let the girl wear her braid and pin-straight hair the poorly done color-blocking and poof have got to go but if long layers work then rock that style

by ying_vuong Friday, May 4, 2012 at 08:57PM Report as inappropriate

So tired of these!

by LittleBunny Tuesday, April 17, 2012 at 07:39AM Report as inappropriate

well i have the bob and i like it

by olkrav319 Sunday, April 8, 2012 at 08:45PM Report as inappropriate

I am not sick of all these looks just a few.

by beautybody Thursday, April 5, 2012 at 09:40AM Report as inappropriate

So I agree with fake weaves and the pouffy hair, but the other styles are all wonderful!

by powerwoman033 Sunday, March 18, 2012 at 08:42PM Report as inappropriate

What about naturally straight or wavy hair. Those aren't exactly styles, that's just how people's hair is naturally. Kind of messed up. I didn't understand the point of this article. I thought it was going to be more like "dumb hair trends" but side bangs are dumb now because too many people are sick of them... lol how about Over teasing hair and wearing obvious wigs everyday like some stars do for attention. I'm with bukiyounahito on this one

thanks

by cielona_boco Tuesday, January 31, 2012 at 07:32AM Report as inappropriate

How about layered over-styled waves? Those are the worst... Most styles here are actually very nice and convenient for every-day use (except for bad coloring and extensions)

by venenumletalis Monday, November 28, 2011 at 02:27PM Report as inappropriate

Where are feather extensions?

by MysticMeercat Wednesday, November 23, 2011 at 09:14PM Report as inappropriate

Yea, I agree they're boring, but they're popular for a reason--they're easy, manageable, and (mostly) flattering. So who cares?

by naughtnone Monday, November 14, 2011 at 01:14PM Report as inappropriate

Not every style is for everyone because we're all unique. Do what's best for you not just because it's popular or trendy.

by godzgirl Saturday, August 20, 2011 at 03:31AM Report as inappropriate

Ok straight hair, wavy.. What is left? These are a lot and who cares if everyone has them?

by itzelc18 Monday, August 15, 2011 at 10:38PM Report as inappropriate

Some of those are good, and some need to go away.

by MissPurple Monday, July 18, 2011 at 12:11PM Report as inappropriate

Who cares what's out of style or not?! Just do whatever YOU like.

by Aprilwoah Thursday, June 30, 2011 at 05:53PM Report as inappropriate

So if we're all sick of some style, and we're all sick of different styles, then ... what IS left? Or are we all going shaved bald now? LOL

by bukiyounahito Saturday, June 18, 2011 at 08:11AM Report as inappropriate

So pin straight hair is out - so are waves? Long layers - and bobs? What's left? I've got sort of Victoria Beckham's bob, though it's more like Rihanna's asymmetrical style, myself. Totally agree with the extensions and color blocking though, it's usually done badly.

by dark_beauty Tuesday, June 14, 2011 at 09:01AM Report as inappropriate

Hmm...what hair styles are left? It seems like all the easy to manage styles are on this list. Sigh.

by NotoriousGOT Tuesday, May 31, 2011 at 02:10PM Report as inappropriate

That make a lot of sense for sure

by doglova Sunday, May 29, 2011 at 04:34AM Report as inappropriate

Certain people look in it while certain others not. So it is best to stick with what looks are best. Ofcourse if getting bored with all these hairstyles doesn't leave us any great hairstyles to try with.

by ebbsandtides Wednesday, May 25, 2011 at 09:21AM Report as inappropriate

So not long, side swept, highlighted, extended, bobs, or even edgy bobs, Sooooo I need a fro ??

by modinosaur Sunday, May 22, 2011 at 12:26AM Report as inappropriate

It seems like this article includes every possible hairstyle. What hairstyles are there other than these?

by mvs027 Friday, May 13, 2011 at 06:15PM Report as inappropriate

I wouldn't say I'm tired of seeing these. A lot of people do have side-swept bangs though, myself included, and they look good. All of these look good on certain people and just because they're common doesn't mean that I'm tired of seeing them. I rather see them a lot than see a bunch of ugly haircuts. I do dislike seeing pouffy hairstyles and the block dye though. The pouffy puff reminds me of Barbie; kind of fake and plastic-girl-look, honestly. It can look cute... if you're just a girl. If you're a teenager or up, it looks a bit juvenile. The block dye just makes me shudder because there's so much dye and it really does not look that good. But I'm not tired of them; I just don't like them.

by mkgx7 Sunday, March 27, 2011 at 01:26AM Report as inappropriate

I am with the "if it works for you, go with it" people. Why worry about what other people think about your style if you think it looks good?

by jade_marlene_bywaters Saturday, March 26, 2011 at 02:55PM Report as inappropriate

If a hairstyle works, I say stay with it. A girlfriend of mine changes her hairstyle to "stay fresh." So while she's looking different, she's not looking her best. Find out what looks flattering on you and stay with it to always look your best.

by haillos Saturday, March 26, 2011 at 06:34AM Report as inappropriate

i concur the article is another winner .....NOT. if we remove these hairstyles what else is left? i also have naturally baby fine smooth straight hair that doesnt hold curl etc. ive come to accept it trying to achieve other textures only damages my already thin hair and i cant risk ruining it when theres so little to work with....how about they give us ideas then to replace these old styles....btw i clicked on a few of the "then try these" things in the articles...doesnt even tske you to what it says

by sarbear86 Friday, March 25, 2011 at 12:44PM Report as inappropriate

this article is stupid.

by parisvioletha Friday, March 25, 2011 at 12:43AM Report as inappropriate

this was not worth commenting on

by ChrisanneSkye Sunday, March 13, 2011 at 11:43PM Report as inappropriate

im not sick of any of them

Katie Holmes' haircut> Posh's

by LittleBunny Monday, February 14, 2011 at 05:55PM Report as inappropriate

Good article. Some of these I agree have been overdone, others I like. To each his own.

by Agrimony Friday, February 11, 2011 at 03:27AM Report as inappropriate

Pin-straight hair is all I've had since I was a child.. It's blonde, it's baby-fine, and wouldn't hold a wave/curl/etc. if you held a gun or hairstylist to it. Some of us have no choices at all...if you can style your hair differently than anything-consider yourself blessed, be-atches! LOL ps-I'm 46 years old

by dawn_easterling Sunday, November 28, 2010 at 05:24PM Report as inappropriate

this list is kind of ridiculous. there are only so many hairstyles out there. and they're common. so what?

by kenya Thursday, November 25, 2010 at 07:38AM Report as inappropriate

i do not care care what you say about side swept bangs i love them and am not going to get rid of them because YOU dont like them. like im going to beilieve some stupid article. losers listen to stuff like this but im not.

by snilkify Wednesday, August 11, 2010 at 09:35AM Report as inappropriate

i agree with most of the other women.......you are practically sick of everything except...no hair at all. i think you should probably revise what you are sick of, most women have at least 1 of these hair styles.

by kaesi3 Monday, June 14, 2010 at 12:43PM Report as inappropriate

Okay, here's one that I am sick of and it isn't mentioned, but I am seeing it EVERYWHERE! The Kate Gosslin pre-extension cut. Long in front and spiky top. Ugh. She couldn't even pull it off, yet I see women EVERYWHERE still sporting it. Apparently they don't own a mirror! This one should have made the list.

by bri120 Friday, June 4, 2010 at 07:02PM Report as inappropriate

So I have a question....what hairstyle IS OK to wear then? According to this, every hairstyle is bad and has been condemned...what the heck else are we supposed to do then? Shave our heads? There are only so many hairstyles we have...and now they're all overkill? We do we wear them...because we think they make us look good, and if we have the confindence to wear that hairstyle, we tell us we look ugly? Get over it.

by brinana Saturday, March 27, 2010 at 08:07PM Report as inappropriate

I love my side-swept bangs, they make my face look more youthful and beautiful. I really don't care what other people think!

by LanaVienna Saturday, February 20, 2010 at 08:52PM Report as inappropriate

I completely agree that the pouff on top, blonde highlights, obvious hair extensions and pin straight hair are completely overdone. My sister, a stylist, has had them all. The thing is, none of them are flattering to most women. The pouffs just make your head look oddly shaped. Not everyone looks good as a blonde. Pin straight flat-ironed hair makes you look like you hardly have any hair. And who wants to wear extensions just to have everyone think "Her hair is fake." Also, the sideswept bangs would always be in your eyes. Who needs that aggravation. I am an advocate of finding a style that actually looks good on you. And working with your own haircolor, not changing it too drastically. I think every woman that does those two things is going to have the best looking, least damaged hair she can get.

by jessicala Friday, February 5, 2010 at 12:27PM Report as inappropriate

What is with the strands of hair on each side of the face.....who said that was a fashion statement? It is ugly!!! Slopopy! No one looks good in it and everyone that wears it is always tucking or pushing them back or out of their eyes.....PLEASE, some hairdresser in Hollywood....change this trend!!!!!

by Elinore Thursday, February 4, 2010 at 07:45PM Report as inappropriate

I looked at Try a New Look. So we should wear ratty looking pony tails, little boy hair, sloppy looking or over the top updos, and ballarina buns. Yuck!!! I'm sorry I'll keep my current do. 80's hair hair? Get real!!!

by Rhonda1966 Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 11:48AM Report as inappropriate

What the hell is this? Seriously, to echo other comments, what does this even leave us with (other than absurdly ugly hairstyles)??

by lbunny Monday, October 19, 2009 at 01:21PM Report as inappropriate

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!!!! This are the hair cuts that work for just about every girl in the world....people that are "sick" of this hairstyles are haters that have tryed them all with NO success..... The hairstyles that we should all be sick of is definitely Kate Gosselin's, Amy Winehouse and Lady Gaga.

by AndreaFL Monday, October 19, 2009 at 12:30PM Report as inappropriate

I have never been so dissapointed with an article on this site. This was ridiculous.

by courts847 Sunday, October 18, 2009 at 01:48PM Report as inappropriate

I hate this article, there is basically nothing else to do with our hair, should we do the Britney and shave it off. I prefer my hair pin straight!

by dioraddict_25 Saturday, October 17, 2009 at 09:56PM Report as inappropriate

Let's see...my options seem to be an Annie Lennox crew-cut, mo-hawk, a Kate Gosselin-style hot mess or perhaps some serious Rasta dreads...nice! Thanks for the uber-lame advice. Thise article would have been better titled "Great Hairstyles that work for Almost Anyone."

by CopperFox Friday, October 16, 2009 at 04:54PM Report as inappropriate

. . . If you're sick these styles . . . fix your hair a different way (assuming that there is anything left for you to choose from). These are classic styles. It really isn't shocking that people run to them. If I shaved my head,left a patch on the side, then dyed it blue, you'd be writing about how ridiculous I look. What's next? You're sick of foundation and eyeliner?

by mercymae23 Friday, October 16, 2009 at 04:23PM Report as inappropriate

Okay, so you don't like long hair, short hair, bangs, no bangs, straight, or wavey. This article is absurd.

by Gindy105 Friday, October 16, 2009 at 01:20PM Report as inappropriate

well it looks like the only thing that is left to do is just to shave our heads

by jules333 Thursday, October 15, 2009 at 08:47PM Report as inappropriate

What is left?

by b21m14 Thursday, October 15, 2009 at 01:53PM Report as inappropriate

FYI - Nicole Richie is black (and identifies herself as such), even though she's light skinned. Since only 15% of the U.S. population is black or mixed race, one of eleven celebs is pretty on-par with the population at large.
