Worst Royal Haircuts & Hairdos

[galuhcandrakirana]

Look at her other hairdo (I just found this picture) http://www.royal-magazin.de/german/t...uby-choker.htm It remind me hair style in Mardigrass festival or hairstyle of moulin rouge cabarette actress.

Queen Beatrix has awful hair. What I wouldn't give to see her with hair that is flat and not teased/sprayed to within an inch of its life.

I'd also like to see Princess Madeleine with darker hair. She's so tan anyway, that when she goes uber-blonde, I don't like it. I'm not saying dye her hair black, but maybe a light to medium brown. Something a shade or two lighter than her sister's hair.

Thank you, galuhcandrakirana, for this photo. All I have to say about it is "Wow".

Well, I don't think that Queen Beatrix hair is awful.
The helmet is indeed not a hairstyle I would ever chose in my life, but it became a kind of "trademark" for her. You realize directly that it's her, when you just see her hair .
The same goes for Queen Margrethe II and Queen Sofia. They also have this never-changing hairstyles.

O, that is very true. It's very distinctive. They all have distinctive hairstyles. It's their trademark as you say.

Spot on, nutmegger!

Has there been any more recent cases of "Hairdos from Hell"? Please tread softly. No doubt some photos could give people heart attacks!

Looking at Queen Elizabeth's hair in old photos it has been shorter at times, longer at times and with a side part or sweep at times.

Compare her 40s photos, wedding photo, coronation photo/first opening of Parliament and photo with infant Prince Andrew. Early 60's has a short bouffant style instead of the pincurled style but by the mid-60's and 1970 she'd settled into the style she still uses today.
I just marvel that she does her own hair most of the time but she would know best how to handle the curls. It does appear to be naturally curly/wavy based on childhood and young adult photos.
I do love the brilliant white it has become, not yellowed. I wish mine would turn white instead of the grey it's threatening. Of course that's natural blonde (NOT!)

I have also seen beautiful early 70s photos of Anne's hair. If she wore it long and pulled back slightly on the sides as she did then without the teasing/backcombing/bun it would be flattering. I would love to see her in a layered cut for a change, the layers left long enough to pull back for riding if needed but easy to style otherwise.

"Helmet hair" is not unique to royals--plenty of folks still do that here. Usually it means hair that is teased or backcombed to within an inch of its life and arranged to resemble a football helmet protecting the head, similar to "Big Hair" that Southerners are usually accused of (but not as common as it used to be). Viva Aqua Net!

I don't have any pictures to post but I don't anyone has a worse hair style then Princess Anne. I wish she would update her style.

Sometimes I get the feeling Princess Máxima forgets to comb her hair before she leaves home:

It has to be Queen Beatrix. And her awful blue eyeshadow. She really needs an update.

About Queen Elizabeth II. I thought she turned very dowdy after the Investiture, despite the fact that she was still a lovely lady. It turns out that her hair was done in almost the exact style favored by her long-time dresser, Bobo McDonald (who also picked out her clothes). And the Queen and Bobo used the same hairdresser.

The Queen's style is so much more elegant and expressive these days. I think she was rather liberated by the loss of Bobo and the Queen Mother in that I think she dressed to please them (rather than picking out the styles that were most becoming to her).
