Brad Pitt: Movie Hair Dos and Don'ts

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
