Man Ponytails

Celeb Hair Atrocities

Just because it might be the "next big thing," doesn't mean it's a good thing. It can be horrible, but luckily, it's often just a fad and passes quickly. Let's hope that ponytails for men is one that'll whiz by. Even the hunkiest men can lose instant sex appeal the second they begin growing a rat tail, mullet or full-on Fabio mane.
