    Good hair. Is there such a thing? Comedian Chris Rock tackles the issue of how society determines what exactly is 'good' hair in his latest film, aptly-named 'Good Hair.' So, while Rock looks at the culture of hair, CTV.ca decided to go the other way and reveal candid shots of stars having bad hair days. Because sometimes bad hair happens to good people.

    Follicle failure:
    Donald Trump
    Trademark tresses:
    Permanently windswept and gravity defying toupee/bad weave/ comb-over hairdo
    Scalp sin status:
    Repeat offender
    Root resolution:
    Time to buy a new toupee, or if it really is his 'real hair' as Trump claims, time to get a hair cut!

    Follicle failure:
    Kate Gosselin
    Trademark tresses:
    Reverse mullet
    Scalp sin status:
    The porcupine 'do was the looking like it could be the next 'Rachel' haircut but there seems to be a backlash against all things Gosselin lately

    Follicle failure:
    Tim Burton
    Trademark tresses:
    The finger-in-the socket look
    Scalp sin status:
    Artistic license might excuse for his serial scalp sins
    Root resolution:
    A hat? We have a sneaking suspicion that his directorial genius might come from his hair, so he shouldn't mess with it too much.

    Follicle failure:
    Sanjaya Malakar
    Trademark tresses:
    Overgrown Mohawk never worn quite the same way
    Scalp sin status:
    Where to begin? But since the Idol wannabe is more famous for his hair than his voice, he might be on to something
    Root resolution:
    Don't mess with success. Sanjaya's memorable do got him another reality TV show gig.

    Follicle failure:
    Britney Spears
    Trademark tresses:
    Weave gone wrong
    Scalp sin status:
    The usually coiffed pop princess started debuting bad hair as her personal life went into a downward spiral culminating with the infamous night where she shaved her own head with the paps taking pictures.
    Root resolution:
    The moral of Brit's tresses tale? Stay in bed if you're having a bad hair day.

    Follicle failure:
    Russell Brand
    Trademark tresses:
    Terrifying teased 'do
    Scalp sin status:
    With hair like that, you'd think he'd be a bachelor for life, yet his a string of high-profile relationships earned him the 'Shagger Of The Year Award' for three consecutive years by a U.K. newspaper.
    Root resolution:
    Wet. Shampoo. Rinse. Repeat

    Follicle failure:
    Snoop Dog
    Trademark tresses:
    Uses his locks to channel his inner six-year-old girl
    Scalp sin status:
    Snoop has been rocking the braided pigtails look for years, but to his credit, it is often hidden by the giant cloud of smoke.
    Root resolution:
    Smoke 'em if you got 'em and you'll forget all about your hair.

    Follicle failure:
    Amy Winehouse
    Trademark tresses:
    Misbehaving beehive
    Scalp sin status:
    Winehouse has been sporting that gravity-defying beehive look since she became famous and - except for a short foray into the world of blondes - doesn't seem to be willing to change her 'unique' look
    Root resolution:
    Clean up her act first. Then move on to cleaning up that hair.

    Follicle failure:
    Brad Pitt
    Trademark tresses:
    Bad, bad beard
    Scalp sin status:
    Granted, the goat-beard stage was back in 2002, but the world's sexiest man still sometimes busts the bad beard, much to the chagrin of ladies everywhere.
    Root resolution:
    Two words: Clean shaven.

    Follicle failures:
    Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson
    Trademark tresses:
    Overgrown, tussled locks that appear to be unwashed and unbrushed
    Scalp sin status:
    These on-screen lovers seem to have started to share their hairline habits - or lack there of - off screen as well
    Root resolution:
    Look in the mirror sometime between rolling out of bed and heading out the door.

    Follicle failure:
    Pamela Anderson
    Trademark tresses:
    Barbie mane - after a drive in Ken's convertible
    Scalp sin status:
    While Anderson usually goes for the blonde bombshell look, sometimes her hair ends up looking like a bombshell went off at the salon instead.
    Root resolution:
    Give up the flowing locks. The Baywatch babe status is over. Sorry you had to find out this way.

    Follicle failure:
    Perez Hilton
    Trademark tresses:
    A rainbow of offenses
    Scalp sin status:
    How can a man who makes a living by making catty-comments about celebrity pictures not see the tragedy of his own bad hair?
    Root resolution:
    Leave the red-carpet 'dos to the real celebs. Bloggers should be heard, not seen.

    Follicle failure:
    Kanye West and Amber Rose
    Trademark tresses:
    Buzzed-down buddies
    Scalp sin status:
    Can having no hair still qualify as bad hair? We think so.
    Root resolution:
    Grow it out or break up. The whole twins look is so Mary-Kate and Ashley.

    Follicle failure:
    Helena Bonham Carter
    Trademark tresses:
    Jagged bangs combined with an updo that is held together with multiple clips.
    Scalp sin status:
    Bonham Carter's preference for off-beat characters might explain her unique hair styles.
    Root resolution:
    Take out the clips, grow the bangs and go easy on the scary faces on the red carpet - children might be watching.
