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.

Sanjaya Malakar
Trademark tresses:
Overgrown Mohawk never worn quite the same way

Where to begin? But since the Idol wannabe is more famous for his hair than his voice, he might be on to something

Amy Winehouse
Trademark tresses:
Misbehaving beehive

Clean up her act first. Then move on to cleaning up that hair.

Perez Hilton
Trademark tresses:
A rainbow of offenses

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.

Follicle failure:
Helena Bonham Carter
Trademark tresses:
Jagged bangs combined with an updo that is held together with multiple clips.
Scalp sin status:
