Kate Gosselin, the famous newly-single mom of eight underwent a bit of a makeover for a photo spread in People magazine recently. With a slicked back ‘do she looked completely different from her normal asymmetrical hairstyle that has been compared to a porcupine and labeled with such unflattering labels as “reverse mullet.”

The asymmetrical “chunky bob” haircut that “everybody” wanted earlier in the summer seems to be seeing a certain degree of backlash presently, having been skewered by several blogs and comedian Kathy Griffin.

But there is still a strong contingent of busy mothers clamoring for the look that involves varying lengths on either side of the face. From the back, her hair is cut into choppy sections. The longer, asymmetrical bangs are a good way to lengthen a round face. It is also a good way to cope with very thick hair, by giving different sections different lengths.

We all like to reminisce about the celebrity hairstyles that swept the world. The late Farrah Fawcett’s mane was probably the most influential style of the 1970s. And stylists everywhere grew thoroughly sick of copying the Jennifer Aniston style in the mid to late 1990s. Reality TV mom Kate Gosselin has received cheers and boos for her haircut, referred to as a “chunky bob” by fans and “a reverse mullet” by detractors.

But sometimes it’s fun to remember a few of those outrageously bad celebrity hairstyles, whether they took place on the head of a woman or a man. Britney Spears head shaving incident did have the effect of boosting her fame, but not necessarily in a good way. Remember Sanjaya Malakar from American Idol? He’ll always be remembered for his outrageous, show-pony-like faux-hawk rather than his singing.

Perhaps the most cringeworthy hair belongs to someone who knows how to take it as well as dish it out. Good old Donald Trump and his comb-over. It’s one of the few things that makes him sympathetic. Money can’t buy active hair follicles, apparently.
