You've heard of the notorious catfish on social media and dating apps, but what about men who hatfish? For those of you who haven't heard of the term, let me enlighten you. Urban Dictionary defines hat fishing as a practice in which a man purposely deceives a potential romantic partner by wearing a hat to hide his rapidly receding hairline or completely bald head. It's like the male version of women being accused of wearing too much makeup in order to hide how they really look. The women of Twitter have recently become very wary of men practice this kind of dirty deception, and have taken to the platform to call them out. Scroll down for the best 'hatfishing' tweets this week. 

Going to the hairdresser is a nerve-wracking experience. You'll either leave satisfied with your new 'do, or filled with internal tears because you don't want the hairdresser to know how massively they f*cked up. From my experience, it's generally the latter. The Internet has had its fair share of crazy haircuts, and it's seriously hard to tell if the hairdresser screwed up, or if the customer actually asked to look like this. I mean, to each his own. No judgments, but also we're totally judging. Take a look at the monstrosities below. 

We've bought you the mugshots with eyebrows so bad that the eyebrows deserved their own mugshots. And now, we bring you mugshots with hairstyles so awful that the only crimes being committed here are the hairstyles themselves. Neglecting your self-image, beauty needs, and your appearance is a crime, too, you know.

Dry shampoo has to be one of the best inventions of the 21st century. As an avid user of this miracle in a can, it has saved me many a hair wash on days where I didn't have the energy to be hygienic. Sometimes, it becomes an Olympic sport; how long can I get away with using dry shampoo before people start wondering if I'm homeless? If you, too, are a fan of dry shampoo and its miraculous ability to buy you another day without washing your hair, giving you insane volume at the same time, then you'll love these memes just as much as I did.

It takes a specific type of man to pull off long hair. And that man is usually a good looking celebrity. Any other man who tries this phase will most likely look... how do I put this nicely? Homeless? Like they've totally given up? You get the gist. These male celebs not only pull off having long hair but they kind of rock it. Why is it that when men grow their hair long, they step out of the shower with shiny, luscious locks, and when I grow my hair, I look like I've been dragged through a bush backward? What do you think of these long-haired heartthrobs?

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. 

Parenting is one of the most challenging jobs in the world, especially when you're a single parent. Parents don't always get it right; in fact, most of the time, they screw up. But the sign of a good parent is one who can admit their mistakes and apologize to their kids when they get it wrong. One dad posted on Reddit, wanting to know how badly he had f*cked up when he cut his daughter's hair. He explained that he is a single parent and struggles to maintain his seven-year-old daughter's hair, which she refuses to take any responsibility for herself. After many discussions with her, he finally cut her hair, which she found very distressing. His mother and sister told him that it was the wrong move, but he is unsure. Redditors gave mixed responses, with many telling him that his reasoning was fair, but the way he carried it out wasn't OK. Below is his account; scroll through and tell us what you think. Is this bad parenting, or were his actions justified?

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.
