Oprah’s hair guru reveals the host’s most hated hairstyle

SHE’S had a truckload of looks over the years, and even a spectacular billionaire can have a bad hair day once in a while. This is Oprah’s most hated hairstyle.

Perfection.

SHE’S had a truckload of looks over the years.

Some have been flawless. And some prove that even a spectacular, philanthropical billionaire can have a bad hair day once in a while.

Hair stylist Andre Walker met the talk show queen in 1985 and has now been responsible for her famous mane for 30 years.

Over that time, Walker says there’s definitely one style both her and Oprah regret: 1987’s layered bob.

“Layered bobs were so popular then and I cut it so short where it sat right at her cheek line,” Walker told People magazine.

“She hated it, and I thought it was the greatest thing because it was a trendy hairstyle. Now, looking back at the photo she was absolutely right.”

As well as harsh layered bobs, Oprah also now avoids anything Miss Universe would do.

“She was going to a black-tie event and I had this idea for an updo,” Walker told the mag.

“I finally did it and she looked in the mirror when it was finished and said ‘I’m not going to the prom! I’m not the prom queen! What did you do to my hair?’ So I fixed it, but let’s just say she’s not very fond of updos.”

In our opinion, Oprah’s hair reached peak perfection in 2005. To give you some context, it was the same year Tom Cruise jumped on her couch.

Mid-length, relaxed curls. Confident and fun. And for some reason, she also pulled a lot of sassy facial expressions with this hairstyle:
