Everybody has suffered from it at least once; some days, no matter what you do, your hair looks absolutely horrible, and there is nothing you can do about it except sit it out. Naturally, this tends to happen at the worst possible moments, like when you have an appointment for which you absolutely have to look your best. Expect characters suffering from this to go to extreme lengths to hide or fix their bad hair, but getting found out sooner or later. As Status Quo Is God, these bad hair days hardly ever last longer than one episode. A Super-Trope to Gag Haircut, My Hair Came Out Green, and Traumatic Haircut, which can be causes of the Bad Hair Day. Compare Stubborn Hair and Messy Hair, which are usually a permanent character trait rather than a one-episode issue. For its illness-related cousin, see Bedhead-itis. Very much Truth in Television. This trope shares the same name as the album from "Weird Al" Yankovic, which can be viewed here. |

Trolls: The Beat Goes On!: The ASK POPPY short "Bad Hair Day" has Guy Diamond losing control over his Prehensile Hair, and is worried that he won't be able to go to Biggie's oncoming glowstick party like that. Poppy gets Biggie to allow hats in his party so that Guy's hair can be kept controlled. In "Trolly Tales 3", Poppy, Guy, and DJ Suki have to fill in Gia Grooves' role at the Troll Village child daycare center due to her hair undergoing the same condition as Guy's in the previous case above, which is claimed that it will last her the entire day. |

Scrubs: In 'My Cake, Ted takes a ride in Dr. Kelso's convertible, which unfortunately for him causes his hair to blown out in a style not dissimilar to a clown's. His failed attempts to get his hair back into style become a Running Gag throughout the episode. He manages to tame it for a while after using a whole tube of hair gel, but it sprang back out at the shock of the Janitor suddenly abducting him from the window as part of his campaign to gaslight Dr. Kelso. | |

In the Rocko's Modern Life episode, "Hair Licked", Rocko is about to have his picture taken for the newspaper as part of his status as Kind Of A-Lot-O' Comics' Employee of the Month. On the day of the photoshoot, Rocko's hair becomes an uncontrollable mess, so he turns to Heffer for help. Heffer first tries to cut Rocko's hair, with the resulting haircut looking absolutely disastrous. To make up for this, Heffer takes Rocko to the Chameleon Brothers' hair stylist shop so Chuck and Leon can give him a better haircut. When Rocko arrives at Filburt's house for the photoshoot, Heffer messes that up as well when his butt bumps into a fan trying to pick up a cookie. A mortified Rocko tells Heffer there's no way he can get a good photo now, but Heffer pushes Rocko's face against the copier to give him a good photo. Even though it wasn't the prettiest picture and everyone mocked it, Rocko liked it anyway. | |

Garfield: In this comic, Garfield suffers a bad hair day and tries to hide it with a full-body Brown Bag Mask. In this comic, Garfield mentions how Jon tries to hide bad hair days by wearing a cap. Then Jon walks by wearing a huge, face-concealing cap, leading Garfield to the conclusion Jon must be having a bad face day. Jon suffers from another bad hair day in this comic. In a possible Continuity Nod to the aforementioned comic, he indeed tries to hide it with a cap. When Garfield teases him about it, Jon reveals just how bad his hair is that day, startling Garfield. And Garfield suffers another one here when his fur suddenly gets messed up for seemingly no reason, though Garfield somehow felt it coming. |

The Powerpuff Girls (1998): In "The Mane Event", Bubbles and Buttercup accidentally butcher Blossom's hair, leaving her looking ridiculous. It makes her the laughing stock of Townsville and briefly sends her into self-imposed seclusion until the professor snaps her out of it. She eventually uses her ridiculous look to distract the Monster of the Week so her sisters can defeat it, and gets some revenge on Bubbles and Buttercup by messing with their hair as well. | |

A variant in the Oswald episode, "Henry Needs a Haircut"; Henry, a penguin, has a feather sticking out on top of his head that won't stay down. When Oswald suggests that he visit the barbershop, Henry refuses, thinking it will hurt. Henry makes many attempts to slick the stray feather back, but nothing works. At the end of the episode, Henry finally goes to the barbershop, where he finds out that his haircut wasn't as bad as he thought it would be. | |

"'Summer Memories'': In one episode, Jason tries to give himself a haircut. The end result makes him look like he's going bald on the side of his head, and he spends most of the episode upset about it. He rectifies it by shaving himself bald, and discovers everyone else (R Onnie included) did the same because there was an outbreak of lice going around. | |

Her species, the Minbari, don't typically grow hair on the tops of their heads — she only acquired it as a result of becoming a Half-Human Hybrid — and as a result, she has no idea how to look after it, and her normal cleaning regimen has severely damaged it. Cmdr. Ivanova has to explain the fundamentals of proper hair care to her. | |
