7. Busta Rhymes takes the 'high ponytail' to the next-level.

Before Kanye West and Chris Brown were even on the scene Busta had everyones eyes on him when he use to rock this interesting look. Long dreads tied up to sit as a high ponytail on the top of his head... And have you seen those sideburns?

8. Andre 3000's weird blonde wig at Bestival.

Bad hairstyles are usually something that you can look back at and blame on the 'era' that you were keeping it in. But Andre 3000 does not have the luxury of using that excuse, as he wore this dodgy white/blonde wig just one week ago at Bestival 2014.

9. Ciara goes for some incredible dreads.

After the birth of hers and Future's son earlier this year, Ciara showcased a new look on her Instagram. Thick, long dreadlocks with an array of colours sounds like a complete disaster on paper, but Ciara seems to pull everything off doesn't she? Picture: Instagram

10. Chris Brown's bleach blonde hair-do.

Chris Brown's been going back-and-forth with this one for a while now. While it was a shock at first, everyone seems to have kind of gotten use to Breezy's barbie blonde look now. But it's safe to say, he's better as a brunette.

11. That time Jay Z let his hair grow out for a while.

It had never happened before and it's never happened since, but Jay Z was once spotted styling a longer, thicker crop that would look more at home on Drake's head.

12. When Rihanna got hold of a shaver.

Back when Rih was dressing all rock-and-roll in denim cut-offs and cropped tee's she debuted this popular cut that saw her take a shaver to one side of her head. It's a look that few woman would ever touch and one that Rih mastered, as per.

13. Eminem's blonde crop hairstyle.

It's not only Eminem's vintage songs that feel as fresh today as they did back then, everyone can probably agree that this haircut Eminem wore to the 1999 MTV Video Music Awards is pretty impeccable.

14. Wiz Khalifa was testing the blonde-water.

No one's ever really understood why some people put one strip of a different colour through their hair. But it's Wiz Khalifa, we don't need to understand, the rapper can get away with anything.

15. Rihanna once had this cool rasta hairstyle.

"Chiefin like a Marley" Rih Rih wrote when she shared her new laid-back rasta-hairstyle. This is definitely a look that she should re-visit.

16. Nick Cannon's leopard-inspired hairstyle.

Instagram couldn't quite believe it when Nicki Cannon posted his new leopard-inspired hairstyle for the world to see. In fact, Nick couldn't quite believe it either, he wrote "I finally lost it" as the caption. Picture: Instagram

17. The legendary Kanye West Mullet Hairstyle.

18. Coolio's infamous 'sticking-up' hairstyle.

Coolio has to go down as the man with the most consistently odd hairstyle in the game. The veteren rapper has been rocking what can only be known as the 'sticking-up hairstyle' since the early 90's and he's showing no sign of getting rid of it any time soon. Picture: PA

19. That time Chris Brown's dyed his hair blue.

If fans didn't like Breezy's blonde hair they were in for a real shock when he uploaded this photo showing a florescent blue strip of hair across the top of his head. Chris Brown quickly deleted the photo after uploading it, which can only lead us to believe that he realised what a mistake it was.

20. Chris Brown's starry hairstyle.

Back in the day Chris Brown gave in to the 'star' phase that everyone went through not only with some tattoos on his neck, but with the matching shape shaved on to the side of his head. Picture: Rex

21. Cassie Ventura was one of the first to shave it all (well half of it) off!

Diddy's other half and 'Long Way To Go' singer Cassie Ventura was one of the pioneers of the half-shaved look and the singer took things a step further with three different lengths in her hair all at once.

22. Kanye West has played with patterns in his hair before.

This week Kanye West debuted a new look in Australia, but it's not the first time 'Ye has has some strange shaped shaves into his hair. In 2005 he turned up to the Grammys with this swirly pattern across one side of his head.

23. Nicki Minaj's weirdest wig ever?

There's no struggle in finding a crazy Nicki Minaj hairstyle - the rapper was known for them during her 'Pink Friday' days. Although Nicki's ditched the wigs and keeping her hair natural now, no one will ever forget the time she was almost camouflaged in front of a bush because of her grass-coloured wig.

24. What was Sean 'P.Diddy' Combs thinking with this hairstyle?

Diddy turned up to the 2004 MTV Music Video Awards with a hairstyle you need to see to believe. Not quite bald, not quite a Mohican, the rapper apparently invented his own, new kind of hairstyle. Needless to day it didn't catch on...

25. Snoop Dogg's plaited bunchies hairstyle.

Snoop has had this recurring hairstyle for so long now that it's easy to think it normal. But let's take a step back and analyse. Snoop Dogg is wearing his hair not only in plaits, but in bunchies. The style you/ your sister begrudgingly wore to primary school. Imagine if this was what Kanye went for next?

26. Pharell Williams hides blonde hair under that hat of his.

Pharrell looks so young in this photo that you might think those blonde-locks hiding under his hat are from his early days. But actually, this photo was taken in the summer of 2012. Maybe he needed such a huge hat in 2014 to control that hair of his...

27. Nick Cannon's Cruella Deville grey hair.

Thankfully Nick Canon ditched the leopard style hair, but what followed what this Cruella Deville lookalike style.
