The 10 Least Wanted Celebrity Haircuts - Top Hairstylists Dish!

If you ever teased and fluffed your bangs 80's style like Debbie Gibson or ran out to get "The Rachel" like all of your friends in the 90's, you know that yesterday's most-wanted celeb cuts often becomes today's embarrassing reason to hope that no one tags an old photo of you on Facebook.

According to San Diego and New York salon owners Jet Rhys and Mark Garrison, some of the most popular celebrity haircuts of the new millennium have now launched into I'd-like-to-forget-about-that retirement.

Here, the haircuts that clients most often ask not to look like today.

Meg Ryan
The blonde's layered crop cut and bedhead-tousled style was a mainstay of the '90's, but Ryan's current longer version is growing stale. The issue? The way she's primping it still screams 1995. "The style is just old, and she's styling it the same way. It's a nice haircut, but switch it up Meg. Part it on a different side and don't make it look flicky," advises Rhys.

Victoria Beckham
Seems like just yesterday when everyone was getting the "Posh" steep angled bob, doesn't it? While the bob looked ultra chic and stylish fresh from the salon, women have found that maintaining the crispness of the cut takes a Spice Girl paycheck. "Although the extreme angled bob was popular, it ended up to be too severe for most clients, with not such a graceful grow out," says Garrison.

Scarlett Johansson
The 25 year-old has grown her Marilyn Monroe-like tousled above-the-shoulders blonde curls longer now -- which has made the style lose its playful freshness. "When Scarlett's hair was at her shoulders, it was awesome. Clients drove 150 miles to get her look," says Rhys of her Southern California clientele. "Now that it's longer, it has lost its pizzazz."

Lisa Rinna
Not unlike her lips, Rinna's piecey crop cut is over-exaggerated and makes the 47 year-old actress appear as though she's trying too hard. "It's not realistic hair. It's way too perfect and almost dollish. It looks too on purpose," comments Rhys. If you like the cut and want to pull it off in a more modern way, use a lighter hand with texturizer product and opt for a quick yet rough blow dry instead of painstaking styling with a hot iron.

Gwyneth Paltrow
Long, straight and minimalist became a popular post-90's option, but Paltrow's heavy cut can make even delicate facial features and foreheads look too prominent. "Although once requested a lot, in the end, this long, hanging center parted haircut is not flattering or wearable," says Garrison.

Sarah Jessica Parker
Carrie Bradshaw made curly hair cool again, but the way the New Yorker has been styling her long layered cut lately has put her on the least-requested list. "Her hair color is too light now, she used to have a great 'bronde' color going on," Rhys says of the star's former blonde-meets-brunette shade. "She's not embracing her curl anymore, and as a result is not looking as sparkly and as bouncy as she used to," adds Rhys.

Charlize Theron
The South African native is one of Hollywood's most glamorous stars, yet Rhys wonders who is cutting Theron's hair -- which hangs heavy around otherwise beautiful facial features. "It lacks lustre and doesn't move anymore. The layers are too long. It's not a celebrity-level style," says Rhys.

Jennifer Aniston
Her flippy short layers may have defined the decade of the 90's, but the former Brad Pitt flame is currently wearing a longer version with a more traditional face frame that doesn't quite work as well. "The long layers are great, but when styled so straight, it's not very popular. Women today want more texture and movement to their hair," says Garrison.

Rhys agrees. "Jennifer, change it up, girl! Everyone loved her hair. It's so thick now and too long, like Marsha on The Brady Bunch."

Reese Witherspoon
The down-home Southern gal is hanging on to bangs that are more appropriate for a teen. "Her bangs always look girlish, not sexy. They don't fit in with her long hair," says Rhys. A softer side-swept bang coupled with feminine layers would bring the 34 year-old actress's look from sweet sixteen to sultry star.

Sharon Osbourne

Once a popular crop cut for mature hair in search of a touch of alternative style, Osbourne is letting it get too long -- and as a result, is starting to look mom-ish. "It's looking like a bubble because it's way too round. She needs to deflate it a bit," advises Rhys. Speaking of deflation, the 57 year-old just had her breast implants removed so rocker hubby Ozzy could use them as paperweights. Only in Hollywood, folks.

Lisa Rinna and Meg Ryan look manufactured -- nothing natural about either. As you age, that harsh, petrified look lacks the softness and grace that better shades a mature face. Not too much to say about the others -- with the definite exception of Sarah Jessica Parker. Her middle-parted, long, straggly hair shapes and eccentuates her long face and long nose -- totally unflattering. She should buoy up and brighten her look with shorter hair, taking the attention from the center of her face. Also, lay off the excessive make up. That is more aging than the years on the calendar.

None of them look like they ever comb their hair. they appear as a guest on a show and look like they just crawled out of bed. Also having to keep pushing their hair off their faces.What ever happened to real hair styles?

Jeez...this is just ridiculous. Some of these hairdos haven't been worn by these people in years, ie Meg Ryan, Gwyneth Paltrow, Reese Witherspoon...they've all changed up their style. But what's really stupid is that these same cuts were sooo loved ...everyone adored Reese Witherspoons bangs and they were totally sexy and flattering...nothing sweet sixteenish about them. It's like people can't win...if it's curly it should be straight and vice versa...layered should be one length. Get real, already. Oh, and Jennifer Aniston, whose hair always looks natural and not overdone....what would you like her to do? Go back to the Rachel? Sheesh???

BTW, Jennifer Aniston is not Brad Pitt's former "flame." She is is former "wife."

I am sure these people are not worried one little bit about what we think of their hairstyles .. Everyone should wear their hair the way they like it. And not worry about what other people think ..Frankly I like people that can be themselves and not be slaves to what's in style at the moment .. Straight hair is in now and I have very long hair with a tiny bit of curl and I wouldn't straighten it if you paid me .

People like to tell us how to dress and wear our hair. They are afraid to let us be individuals.. My hairdresser styles my hair for me, not to look like everyone else.. When it's time for a new style, she will restyle it again for me.. I'm me and want to be me...

Never mind the hair cut I would tell Lisa Rinna who ever she is to stay away from the plastic surgeon.

Leave Sharon Osbourne alone I admire this woman. She has been through hell and back. We all could take lessons from this woman. I only wish I could meet her and become friends. I like her personality. Not everyone can carry off that shade of red. She is a busy person. Did you ever think, maybe she is trying to grow it out for a new style,(not). She maybe ready for a change. Send this to her if you like I do not care. This happens to be my opinion.
