Justin Bieber went through a phase where he was a rebellious teenager, but like today he was always a hair icon. From his 2009 hit single One Time, people loved his hairdo. Nevertheless, it wasn’t until the Baby era that Justin’s hair made history. The star’s haircut where he had the sweeping flow in his hair became a trend. In fact, this surfer hairstyle has been a popular one over the years.

However, Justin hasn’t always made good haircut choices. In 2018, his long hair was highly criticized because it looked very messy. At the time, some went even further, saying it seemed like he didn’t like to shower. Although he finally cut it, many didn’t like this look. Let’s take a look at his haircuts from 2009 to 2021 and which has been the worst of all.

Justin Bieber’s Absolute Worst Haircut

Justin Bieber’s hair timeline took a wild turn in 2018. His hair was a mess back then, and it seemed like he didn’t know what to do with it. Although sometimes it was under control, his long hair didn’t look great most of the time. For this reason, he used hats, beanies, hoodies, and sombreros to try to hide it. He even tried rocking dreads, but that also didn’t work.

Thankfully, he found a solution for his long messy hair: A rubber band. He received tremendous criticism for this look, and the media even said that his appearance was a test to see if Hailey was really into him. And there’s no doubt she was deeply in love with him as they are now married. Hailey loved Justin even with his absolute worst haircut.

Most Iconic Hairstyles

Justin’s One Time hair was one of his most iconic hairstyles. Justin looked very innocent and sweet during this time. Interestingly enough, a lot of similar-looking Caucasian teenagers have this exact hair type. Back then, he was one of the few stars that were doing this kind of hairstyle. In 2009, most boys were doing the gel-up hairstyle at the front. Many guys had used Justin Bieber’s One Time hairstyle.

In 2010, Justin’s hair looked a little choppier. His Baby era look is loved by many but at the same time hated by others. Some people think that the barber was not focused on the haircut and Justin’s hair lack of clean cuts. Overall, he had a similar look to the one he had in 2009, just a little bit shorter and nothing down past the ears.

In 2011, the singer changed his haircut, and many thought that this would absolutely destroy his career. Everybody liked the iconic Baby-era hair, so some fans were pretty disappointed with this shorter version. At that time, the big textured fringe phase was pretty popular. Although Justin pulled it off really well, people were not used to his new hairstyle. Ironically, this is one of Justin’s best haircuts, but it wasn’t considered as it at that time.

‘Boyfriend’ Era Hair

In 2012, the singer did his second major hair change. The first change was such a shock that fans were all prepared for it when this one came. His haircut was classic as he went back to put it up the front. Many people agree that this is a fantastic look, and not many guys could pull that off even today. His Boyfriend era hair was remarkable as it highlighted in a good way his head and face shape. The following year he had no significant changes.

In 2014, the downhill spiral went from his eyes and made it up to his hair. As Justin was in jail, he couldn’t go to his hairstylist, so it was another year without too major of change.

In 2015, Justin started looking sad. Nevertheless, he had a cool look as his hair was longer on the top. The star added a lot of texture and maybe used a sea salt spray. The following year, he rocked a buzz cut. In 2017, the singer was going through a transition. He had long bleached hair. Some fans think he stopped caring about anything.

Justin Bieber’s Messy Hair Phase

In 2018, many people were confused, not knowing if Justin’s hairstyle was done intentionally with texturizing or just completely stopped showering. 2019 was another bad year for his hair. Many fans wondered if he spent thousands of dollars on a personal hairstylist to give him an unkempt look. On the other hand, a few people liked it and said this hairstyle was a vibe.

In 2020, he got the Logan Paul haircut and had a mustache. As somebody who had to spend a decade worrying about what other people thought about his hair every day now looks like a person who doesn’t care what others think. During the pandemic, Justin Bieber grew his hair and got bangs.

Finally, during his Yummy phase, he had terrific pink hair. Justin is considered for some of his followers like the pop Eminem. As he is naturally blonde, it’s easier for him to do these nice pastel pinky colors.

As Justin has faced a lot of criticism for his haircuts, it’s not surprising that he prefers to use hoodies most of the time and hide his head.
