While most little girls grew up with Barbie dolls to play with, not all girls grew up with the 'Shave and Play Borbie' doll, now available on Etsy. And probably for several good reasons: primarily, the fact that it comes with a real razor blade, but also because it's creepy AF!

So what is this incredibly creepy doll? In the seller's own words, "You've played with regular Barbie, but this is Shave & Play Borbie...and she is unlike any other doll you've played with! She is FURRY and ready for a trim! Whip out the razor (included) and give her a style all her own! Borbie will love her new, silky smooth, hair-free self!"

Ummmm ok then! The Shave and Play Borbie (presumably named as such, so Mattel doesn't sue them) might be a gag gift, but it's weird as hell. Hey, whatever floats your boat!

We've already bought you the trend that saw people jazzing up their armpit hair with glitter. But, if you're anything like me, then the thought of getting glitter anywhere near your body stresses you out, because, let's face it, glitter lingers for literally months. So if that's you, then you might be drawn to this less messy version — the beauty trend (or blunder, in my eyes) that has people dying their armpit hair bright colors. For what reason? I couldn't tell you. But they're doing it, and they're documenting the process. What do you think? Beauty blunder, or not?

We love showcasing talented hairstylists who have perfected their skill to incredible levels. We've bought you mesmerizing holographic hair designs and breathtaking rainbow patterns, all of which are beautiful. Our latest one is equally impressive and comes in the form of 'crochet- style' hair art, by 17-year-old self-taught German stylist, Milena. The designs don't even look like they're made of hair, but rope instead. Each creation must take hours and demonstrate Milena's unbelievable talent. Scroll through and be amazed.

We're back with this week's ridiculous beauty blunder, and it comes in the form of mullets. Yes, that's right, possibly one of the word's most divisive hairstyles and one that you thought died with the '80s. It may come as a shock to learn mullets are still very much alive today and is actually celebrated at an annual festival called Mulletfest. Taking place in Kurri Kurri, Australia, it is, according to the official website, "an event that honors the best Mullet cuts in various styles and categories, including 'everyday', 'grubby', 'ranga' (red hair), 'vintage', 'extreme', 'international' and 'junior'". 

You're probably like me and had no idea that so many mullet options existed. You learn something new every day. Photographer Craig Gibson from the UK attended the Mulletfest 2020 to document all of the best, aka worst contestants of this horrific hairstyle. Here they are for you to peruse. 

Hair is a sensitive topic for many women - whether it's a botched dye job, or a bad hair cut, having good hair can change a woman's face, boost her confidence and make her feel a whole lot better about herself. In order to give the illusion of having more of a full head of hair, some women wear hair extensions. But as good as they look on, it's always pretty awkward when they fall out in public. These women share their embarrassing mishaps when their hair extensions fell out in awkward situations and we do not envy them right now.

Some beauty trends are truly beautiful and go viral for all the right reasons, but others are too awful to comprehend. Whoever thinks of the bad ones needs to be fired from the industry asap, even if they do make for entertaining content. For example, this latest trend which involves women putting glitter on their armpit hair? Why? Who knows, but it's a thing. Just use the #glitterpits on Instagram and you'll see what we're talking about. Here is a selection of the weird trend to brighten up your day!

It's no secret that a good haircut can transform your face, but sometimes the differences in the before and after pictures are truly a sight to behold. Sure, good lighting and makeup can make the differences seem more obvious, but in some cases, a fresh new haircut and overall style can really change a person's whole appearance. Check out these photos of people who prove how true this is. 

Out of all the weird and wonderful hair trends we've seen over the years, 'holographic hair' might be one of the most beautifully impressive and mesmerizing. The incredible talent of hairstylists to be able to create the hypnotizing color patterns that are found in holograms into someone's hair is truly breathtaking and we've compiled some of the most impressive here for you to browse through. 

We've all sat in the chair in a hair salon looking into the mirror, wondering if we were always this ugly. We've also all wondered how many days we can get away with not washing our hair and disguising the grease with dry shampoo. We know you know what we're talking about, and these hairstylist memes unite us in the trials and tribulations of hair maintenance. 

For decades, women have been dying their gray hair as they get older, ashamed of the natural signs of aging. The high beauty standards of the Western world mean that unfortunately, aging gracefully isn't a thing anymore and women are spending hundreds of dollars a month to color their gray roots. But one hairdresser is trying to change that; Jack Martin, from California, is helping women to embrace their gray locks, and the results are stunning. Check out some of his amazing work below. 

Weddings are stressful to plan; you want everything to be perfect for your special day. After all, you (hopefully) only have one wedding and you want to get it right! But sometimes the stress can get the better of the bride-to-be which can make them a little, or very unreasonable. One bride who insisted one of her guests cover up her tattoos and dye her hair (at a great expense) because her look "clashed" with the aesthetic of the wedding has been shamed in a bridezilla-shaming Facebook group by the guest. Check out her unreasonable request below, as well as how Facebook users jumped to the guest's defense.

Being stuck at home right now means that we don't have access to many of the services that we're dependent on, like schools, gyms and beauty salons. And while homeschooling, doing home workouts and painting your own nails aren't ideal, they're still manageable for the hopefully, short term future. But some services, such as getting a haircut, really need to be left to the professionals because they're just to easy to mess up. These people learned that lesson the hard way, and are probably regretting their DIY chops.   

Aging isn't fun. Wrinkles, muscle pains, when did text become so blurry? Your body is making noises it wasn't yesterday and everything hurts. And for many men, getting older brings the fun concept of coming to terms with balding and forever having people mention your lack of hair. 

Did you know that according to the American Hair Loss Association, two-thirds of American men will experience some degree of appreciable hair loss by the age of 35? That's quite a lot. 

On the bright side, if you are in that statistic, just know that you are most definitely not alone. 

What were they thinking?!
