Remember This Frau Hairstyle?

Jo Dee Messina liked trends. Here she is in 1996 with the trendiest hair of the era. Ugh.

Her music is Peak Frau.

Here she is in 2005 at her Frau zenith! Blech!

She looka like a man.

Nothing will EVER beat this frau concoction.

Dear Lord in Heaven!

I suppose some sort of choppy bob with layers. As many hair disasters as there were in the last few decades, women's hair has gotten painfully dull over the last 10 years or so. Just long flowing mermaid hair or ponytails on 90 percent of women. Boring.

If you hate it so much OP, why did you start a post about it?

Is that hairstyle not The Rachel?

I actually liked the choppy/piecy bob of the early 2000s. The highlights that accompanied them where bad though.

r8, The Rachel predates this bob.

R4 that is THE "speak to the manager" haircut.

Ugh, Mandy Moore had that awful sprongs Jo Dee Messina haircut in 2003!

I can't be the only one who was wondering

Lisa Rinna made this FrauStyle popular.

Ugh, the uneven part!!!!! FRAU!

OP, this hairstyle is coming back (it's been almost 20 years, that's when these trends tend to come back). A frau in my old workplace had it.

Who was this person?

Holy Fuck! It has a name:

FLIPPY LOB!!!!!!!!

Flippy Lob!

DL Fave Farah Fath with the Flippy Lob!

Frau-y Lob!

Googling "Flippy Lob" brings up... Lisa Rinna!

Lifetime/Hallmark favorite Barbara Niven has made her living in a Flippy Lob!

Barbara Niven, Queen of the Flippy Lob!

What a god awful hairstyle m. Have these bitches no shame?

And it's coming back?????

R9 - I really liked that hair on Meg as well. Her lithe body, cute face, blond coloring, etc. were made for that look. She should just stick with it forever (minus the horrible cosmetic facial surgery that she sports now).

How did they make the sprongs stick out like that?

I thought the Meg Ryan hair was a Sally Hershberger creation. She charged $1,000 a styling session (20 years ago) She holds the scissors perpendicular to the head as she cuts.

It sure looks like the photo at OP is The Rachel.

I've always loved the Fonda "Klute" era Shag.

She's hardly a frau. And I like the cut.

She is the epitome of Frau.

Did the dude from Loggins & Messina transition into a frau?

That first cut is too choppy. This was The Rachel, which Jennifer Anniston hated as it was too hard to maintain without a stylist.

Anniston has had so many chemical processes done to her naturally curly brown hair over the last 3 decades. It's a wonder she has any left.

Any haircut beats the current way too long and limp extension look.

Interesting how old bald headed men have so many opinions about women's hair. Perhaps jealousy is at play

Yes. My sister actually had one of these cuts in 2003.

Well r36, hair trends, like fashion trends, usually originate from an old gay stylist who is balding and homely. The ones who want to try something new after doing thousands of heads and being bored with whatever is popular.

better a style than the "no style" of today

R36 is Kate Gosselin's Ultracuts stylist.

This thread is Must Reading for the Frau VS Karen debate.

Madonna's Dance Floor flip

It's not the Rachel, but she milked this hairstyle for two decades:
