Celebrity hairstyle

No, this is not a story devoted to Lady Gaga (although she certainly is worthy of a mention). Plenty of celebrities have sported some way out-there hairdos. Now I'm all for risk-taking, I've been sporting this crazy 'do as of late, but some of these looks are so bizarre that you have to wonder what the heck they were thinking.

Check out a few of my favorites below, and see the full line-up here.

It may not be my place (or maybe it is?), but I think I need to clarify to the world the dos and don'ts of messy updos:

DO rough up the texture of your hair and leave a few stray pieces out of updos for a trendy, messy-chic look (like these styles for example).

DON'T throw greasy and straggly-looking hair into a ponytail and pull some fried looking wisps out to frame your face and walk on the red carpet (this means you Bullock). 

Now, I don't want to hate on Sandy, I'm actually a big fan and she usually looks lovely on the red carpet (like in this picture for example). But here, she's taken a messy updo and just made it messy. Her roots look greasy and her ends look fried. A little polishing -- not to mention some shampooing -- would have made this a grade A look. But sadly, that just didn't happen.

What do you think? Is this the height of messy-chic or just plain messy?

In less than five minutes I had a new 'do that garnered compliments at work. Are you in a rut too? Well snap out of it with one of these:
