Carrie Underwood Talks Bad Hair (Plus, See Samm’s Worst Hair)

We all have had that one (or five) hair style that we tried out and totally regret doing. At the time it seemed like such a great idea, and you may have even thought it was cute until you look back at pictures and thought "what the?" Carrie Underwood can relate - so can I!

For Carrie Underwood, she says it was her "crunchy hair" - we will talk about that in a second, but first, my worst! It was definitely in elementary school. The process of growing it out was even more painful. I will never forget this moment - walking into a CHEAP salon and my dad asking the lady to "cut her hair as short as you can without making her look like a boy!" - EPIC FAIL!!! I already played sports at this point, loved my baggy clothes, and hated makeup - this haircut was the icing on the cake for my already horrendous look. I tried the whole spiking it in the back thing, the terrible butterfly clips, and then the awful attempt to put it in a ponytail that was less than an inch long (and my head was covered in bobby pins to keep it there too). Normally I'd be very bummed out that I can't find any pictures, but for this situation THANK YOU GOD!! lol.... Here's a picture of me as my hair was growing out. You can see my hair was just under my ears and I was still trying to put it into a pony (cute outfit too right? ugh..)

Remember when Carrie Underwood first made her public appearance on American Idol? She's a natural beauty, but that hair though!!! I totally understand why she hates it. I did that whole look for awhile too, and only had ONE person be blatantly honest about how fugly it was! Carrie said she would use an outrageous amount of product to give her hair that curly look, BUT with all that product it makes it look wet and CRUNCHY! Here's a picture (not going to lie, her's still looks a MILLION times better than mine ever did)
