(That pun was completely necessary.) Check out these photos of celebrities on their worst hair days... and the improvements they made later. Because there's always a light at the end of the tunnel.

Better Hair Day: Brad Pitt

The awkward mustache is still so upsetting, but his hair looks amazing. Let’s hope the bleach didn’t permanently damage his locks.

Bad Hair Day: Taylor Lautner

Lautner was a child of the early 00s, which meant tossing an extreme amount of hair gel through your hair was an automatic style.

Still a fan of the gel, but his hair is much more cooperative.

To be fair, this was during filming of I’m Still Here, a mockumentary in which Phoenix intentionally made himself look crazy.
