We've all had that occasional bad hair day, but a bad hairdo worn to a major event is one you're going to want to steer clear of.

1/20
Alison Mosshart
We understand that this indie rock singer loves to show her wild side, but this is definitely not a hairdo you would want to adopt.
2/20
Amy Hill
The green on her hair reminds us of something between moss and food colouring. We think it's best if she stuck to her natural hair colour.
3/20
Ashley Olsen
This fashion designer should have known better than to leave her house with bed hair. Thankfully, she doesn't do it often.
4/20
Betsey Johnson
Known for her outrageous and unique fashion style, this is one hairstyle that only Betsey Johnson can pull off. Please do not try it at home.
5/20
Cameron Diaz
This crowd-favourite has been known to rock the short bob, but, just this time, she showed us that even a pretty face can't save a terrible hair mistake.
6/20
Denise Richards
Her thick, lush hair certainly makes others green with envy. But we think Denise Richards has gone a bit too far this time in showing off the health of her hair.
7/20
Diane Kruger
Always appearing flawless on the red carpet, we think Diane Kruger's taken the "effortless look" a bit too seriously this time.
8/20
Hilary Duff
Do we need to say more? Even Hilary Duff agrees with us, as we haven't seen her adorn a similar hairdo since.
9/20
Julie Ferrier
This French actress and comedian has always prided herself on her permed and messy hair look, but we think she's gone a little overboard this time, making her look more like Professor Trelawney than a red carpet star.
10/20
Juno Temple
We don't really know what Juno was thinking when getting her hair styled, but her usual wacky hairdo borders on the edge of balding here. Kudos to her for wearing it confidently in the midst of so much media attention.
11/20
Kate Nauta
We've never been a fan of poodle perms, and this fashion model hasn't managed to change our mindset one bit.
12/20
Lindsay Lohan
This child star has gone through her fair share of ups and downs, and we're certainly glad she's learnt from this big hair mistake.
13/20
Nancy Dell'olio
The hair in her face and a hairdo that makes her look like she just woke up and sprayed on a tonne of hairspray are big no-nos in our fashion dictionary.
14/20
Natasha Lyonne
We really don't like the hairstyle that this actress wore during this time of her life. She's made some gorgeous changes recently, though.
15/20
Nicole Richie
Let's just say Nicole has seen better hair days, for sure.
16/20
Ophélie Winter
Although the French singer pulls it off quite well, this hairstyle probably suits a funky music video more than an everyday look.
17/20
Paris Hilton
This greasy bed hair appearance makes the world-famous socialite look like she gave up on looking good for the press.
18/20
Renée Zellweger
Pixie hair is a dangerous minefield to play around with, exhibited clearly here by the popular actress who seems like she made a horrible mistake when intoxicated.
19/20
Rinko Kikuchi
We only have one thing to say: Thinning hair is not the way to go.
20/20
Sandra Bernhard
We're glad she's taken much better care of her hair and invested in some professional hairstyling since.

Celebrities are constantly under the scrutiny of the public eye, so it must be difficult for them to let their hair loose (perhaps literally) without being harshly criticised. On the red carpet, especially, it's imperative to don an immaculate appearance, or they'll be judged and placed into the black book of fashion forever. On the bright side, their fashion faux pas make for very good entertainment for us, and more examples of mistakes we should avoid.

From purely bad haircuts to terrible choices of hair dye, our list of worst celebrity hairdos will likely make you cringe at these hair catastrophes, and be grateful you're not one of them. As a saving grace, we do have to recognise that these celebrities are human after all, so we're going to need to cut them some slack.
