Brad Pitt: Movie Hair Dos and Don'ts
Johnny Suede
Rockabilly Johnny Suede's freakishly large pompadour only seemed to grow — kind of like a Chia Pet — as the movie progressed. But consider this: Pitt's performance shone through, even though his coif practically upstaged the production. B —Nakisha Williams

Thelma and Louise
Full disclosure: This writer prefers brunettes, but even she would have trouble keeping her hands out of this glorious head of hair. Brad, you can rob us anytime. A- —Tara Fowler

True Romance
Some might say Pitt could do with a good shampooing here, but there's something undeniably sexy about this dirty-locked look. Too bad it's ruined by that abominable goatee. B —Tara Fowler

Interview With the Vampire
No man's hair should rival a woman's. 'Nough said. D —Tara Fowler

Twelve Monkeys
This spiky, disheveled cut is actually not a bad look. Too bad the psycho Jeffrey Goines would've probably flown off the handle if anyone had tried to give him a compliment. B+ —Nakisha Williams

Meet Joe Black
Pitt reverted to a bright blonde, almost boyish cut to play Death. It's not nearly as egregious as the Interview With the Vampire 'do, but it makes you feel a little dirty for pining after him. B- —Tara Fowler

Fight Club
It was the '90s and frosted tips were so in, bro (thanks 'N Sync). But we expected more from a badass soap maker like Tyler Durden. C —Tara Fowler

Snatch
The layered cut frames a face dusted with just the right amount of facial hair. Oh, and that ripped body doesn't hurt. A- —Tara Fowler

The Mexican
The blonde is back, but thankfully without the puppy-smooth texture of Meet Joe Black. Embrace the manliness! B+ —Tara Fowler

The Fountain
In 2001, Pitt started growing this beard for Darren Aronofsky's The Fountain. In 2002, the world breathed a sigh of relief when he dropped out of the project and finally discovered the business end of a razor. F —Tara Fowler

Troy
Fabio would be proud of the long, loose curls and messy braids, but it's a little hard to take a Greek warrior like Achilles seriously when it looks like he spends time accessorizing his hair before battle. C- —Nakisha Williams

Babel
A straightforward inch-long cut with a touch of grey. It's boring, sure, but even Pitt's hair needs a day off. B —Tara Fowler

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
Words cannot express how much we love this darker 'do. Pitt's baby blues never shined brighter than between those chocolate locks. A —Tara Fowler

Burn After Reading
To play the halfwit personal trainer Chad, Pitt took the two-toned look to a whole new level with a bleached pompadour. Is it sexy? No. Perfect for the character? Most definitely. C+ —Tara Fowler

Inglourious Basterds
The cut's not awful, but it's hard to see past that mustache. Brush the caterpillar off your face, Brad! C —Tara Fowler

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
While the waves were a nice change from Pitt's normally stick-straight tresses, no old man should have hair past his ears. C+ —Tara Fowler

Killing Them Softly
The slick back narrowly avoids sleazy car salesman territory, but the wet look hair gel and scraggly ends evoke an air of mullet. C —Nakisha Williams

World War Z
Shoulder-length hair just isn't practical during an apocalypse. Aside from the hygienic concerns (lice, eww!), there's no reason to give ravenous zombies something more to grip. B- —Tara Fowler
