Emily Ratajkowski Reacts Hilariously to Her Hair Fail
We have all been there—with a haircut from the salon that leaves us grabbing a hat to hide our head for the next six months. And it seems like even supermodels cannot get away with this nightmare! Emily Ratajkowski recently had a salon appointment that totally went off the rails, and she’s not beating around the bush about it. My Body author Emily Ratajkowski took to TikTok to explain her side-splitting (and rather tragic) story of “the worst haircut of my life.” Let’s just say, her new shaggy bangs are. a choice.
A Haircut Disaster Exposed on TikTok
Emily started her TikTok video with a bit of humor, admitting that she had to put on a filter so that she would feel slightly better about it. “Story time—yes, I do have a filter on because I just got the worst haircut of my life, and I need to feel pretty,” she joked as she hid behind her new bangs. She then gave the chop a quick flash, and oh boy, it’s a lot. Oh, you wanted me to be funny? I have bangs in the back of my head,” she teased, sporting the uneven, layered fringe that’s not exactly what she meant.
Attempting to laugh the disaster away, Emily likened her new hair to some iconic figures. “Is it giving, like, a member of The Dare, or is it giving Karen O?” she asked, comparing her hairstyle to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ frontwoman. She even included a punchline, “Is it giving Italian?” In all honesty, we adore her for attempting to seek the positive in this but it was difficult. “Shocking,” she said.
“The really nice chap who’s done this to me—I think he was attempting a British shag.”
I can try to cover it up, see, but then the wind gets in and…bitch. Who hasn’t had that betrayed-by-the-wind experience? What Inspired This Bold (and Regrettable) Chop? So what sparked this radical alteration? When a fan asked if the cut was a tribute to whom, Emily replied, “Myself, literally myself.” The stylist, it seemed, had told her to revive a bang style that they had done together previously—but this was not the same energy. “He said, ‘Let’s revive the bang you had when we last worked together.’ It wasn’t this, no, it was not,” she explained.
Emily’s go-to style is typically that easy model-off-duty vibe—natural waves, center part, no bangs.
So, this chop was a dramatic change for her, and not a good one. Fans and Celebs Respond to the Haircut Fail The internet had opinions on Emily’s new haircut, and they were a mix of sympathy and sass. Julia Fox weighed in on the comments, clearly sympathizing with her friend: “No, cuz I’m so angry for u rn,” she posted.
Trenders were just as melodramatic, with one hollering, “Mother, you can sue,” and another chiming in with, “They sabotaged you.” Burn!
It’s likely safe to say Emily’s TikTok resonated with everyone who’s ever experienced a haircut horror of their own.
