Hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, tsunamis... none of these naturally occurring disasters can even come close to the entirely avoidable hair disasters of this century.
In a collaboration with Maxim magazine, AXE is sponsoring a "Hair Crisis Relief" contest where readers can send in pictures of a friend or significant other who is completely oblivious and whose hair disasters are in dire need of a trim.
Hair disasters aside, the four lucky (clueless) contest winners get to spend a weekend in Las Vegas complete with a much-needed personal makeover and a chance to hang with the Hometown Hotties of Maxim.
Check out the gallery of Maxim (dis)approved contestants.
