Synopsis
As a collection of the most disturbing hairstyles ever, "Bad Hair" Days isn't one for the faint-hearted! Mullets, quiffs, bouffes and flicks are just some of the follicle atrocities to have emerged from barbers' shops over the last 30 years - indeed, today they are often still proudly on display in the windows of traditional barbers. Here, collected in book form for the first - and possibly last - time, are the best of the worst of these gems, culled from the windows of hairdressers across the land. Now facing a tough onslaught from the sleek new designer salons, it may not be long before the familiar barbers' poles and cutthroats vanish forever, so if you're into tightly permed fringes or a Lady Di wave effect (and in 1981 a lot of men were), read on another hair-raisingly shocking book from the publishers of "The Mullet".

About the Author
James Innes-Smith is the co-author of BAD HAIR, and the author of BIG HAIR and of REACH FOR THE BIG TIME, published in 2004.
From Publishers Weekly
In the grand tradition of The Mullet, Bloomsbury USA's previous foray into the world of unfortunate coiffures, Innes-Smith and Webb celebrate poor hair choices, from shaggy Fab Four 'dos to feathered sides, and from asymmetrical bobs to intricately structured curls and waves. Missing are the comb-overs, the skullets (the bald-on-top, long-in-back look) and the synthetic rugs that also warrant the insult of the book's title, but since the photos are culled from hairdressers' windows, such an absence is understandable: these were styles people felt proud of! The pictures, which were taken over the last 30 years, are unfortunately not dated; still, one might venture to propose that the 70s were particularly unflattering for men, and that the 80s were a rough decade for women. This volume is briefly diverting, and even quite funny, but, as the jacket copy admits, there isn't much to be said about a group of pictures all designed to elicit a single response: "Wow, that's bad hair."
