Which of these Brady hairstyle's was the worst of all time?

Mike's "perm"

Carol's bubble-do

Alice's curlers

Greg's orange hair

Marcia's ponytails

Peter's perm

Jan's black wig

Bobby's black dye job

Cindy's braids

I think it had to be Mike's perm, by far. I mean, call me crazy, but it just didn't suit his character. I couldn't take him seriously anymore with that hairdo of his:lol:

can i add one to the list? when i saw the title i immediately thought season for end of season 3 jan (i think) with those to horbile curls at the front of her head. but, goin wid ur list i have to say alices curlers :)

I have serious issues with Peter's pre-perm hair after it started to get longer. It was just an out-there, unkempt, out of control mass.

Next would be Mike's perm. Sorry, but he just didn't look like a responsible dad anymore.

I hated Carol's flip do.

I hated Carol's flip do.


Carol was a hottie with that flip do. It brought out a certain sexiness about her.

Poor Carol suffered through two of the worst hairstyles - the bubble-do and the proto-mullet.

All three boys had really bad mop-tops circa seasons 2 and 3.

lol, I know just the look you're talking about...

I noticed it within the last week or so, in the episode when the Bradys get that little boat (a sub-plot, I think the main plot was Bobby becoming a safety monitor at school)...

They did a close up of Jan when she asked Mike if they could go out on the boat without Bobby, since he's acting like a jerk...

I didn't like that look either... most of the time, of course, Jan's hair was gorgeous...but not that time...

no it was awful. and then those dorky jans in the movies had that hair style.. not a good look at all.

The perms for the guys looked rediculous by the 5th season.. I liked Carol's hairdoo for the 5th.:)

Heh heh...

Say it fast, ten times:

"Mike's perm."
"Mike's perm."
"Mike's perm."
"Mike's perm."
"Mike's perm."
"Mike's perm."
"Mike's perm."
"Mike's perm."
"Mike's perm."
"Mike's perm."

Hey, did I tell anyone what my newest idea is for a retro revival tv show?

Ready?















"The Fembots!"






BAM!

Jan Black wig

Carol's bubble :barf: flip. :barf:

carols bubble do was awful

Braided hair looks pretty on everyone, and is a great option for when you want a quick and easy hairstyle that looks like it required a lot of effort.

Yeah, Jan's hair looked awful that way! And her hair was so pretty when she was a little girl, and in later seasons! Around the time of those funny weird curls in the front , it looked like she maybe braided her hair when it was wet, and that is why it looked all thick and wavy like it did! My sister and I did that sometimes. So that wasn't bad, it was kind of cool, but those weird short curls in the front were horrible. And than the poor thing got those horrible glasses and I think braces too! :confused: They were really doing the awkward /second daughter/middle child syndrome to the hilt than with poor Jan! It was so cool, that she got so pretty by the later seasons! ;)


I always liked Carol's hair. I thought her hair always looked cute!;) And the guys perms, well it was the 70's, guys were doing that back than. They were OK. Peter's was really dried out and wild looking , but he was so cute, I can forgive the bad hair! ;)

The black wig Jan wore in that one episode was just awful. But she looked hot in Season 5.

Not Alan's.


Ya know I was like huh?:confused: Who is Alan???? :crazy: Than it dawned on me, Alan BRADY! Of course. The thread didn't specify it had to be a Brady from the Brady Bunch! ;) :lol: :D Good one! ;)

I noticed that several of the older posts apparently refer to how Carol/Florence was wearing her hair in Season 1 -- but most of these people seemed to be totally unaware that she wore a wig that season.

And as far as not taking Mike/Robert seriously later on, trust me, there was a LOT of WORSE looking men's hair on TV in the '70s. Gene Shalit was a good example (Today).

Oh yeah! OMG! The 70's were notorious for men having bushy, moppy type hair !! Also very bad toupee's (Mr. Carlin , Bob Newhart show) and comb overs were seen a lot in that era on older/middle aged men!:D Than the early 80's we were seeing a lot of "helmet head" on men. Puffy hair that was very styled and hair sprayed and could probably withstand a tornado! :lol:

The Hawaiian eps are playing tonight. The first one where Mike's hair suddenly becomes curly mid episode, and the mystery of is it or is it not a perm begins for the next 42 years !!! LOL!!!

Barry Williams had a chapter in his book, "Growing Up Brady", about the hairstyles of the cast, and he specifically mentioned Robert Reed's hair. You may have noticed that Mike Brady still had the old hairstyle from the previous season in the opening scene of the Hawaii episodes (set back at the Brady house) but had curly hair for the rest of the series in Hawaii and afterward. Barry mentioned that Hawaii had such high humidity that Robert couldn't straighten his hair anymore there so he kept it curly for the rest of the show (and his life). I don't think he needed a perm for that hairdo though.

Mike's perm was pretty awful and I agree that Peter's pre-perm hair was a total mess.

If I'm not mistaken, Robert Reed's hair was naturally curly but after the Hawaii episodes, it wasn't worth the hassle and stress maintaining it anymore.

I always noticed that the boys at the beginning of the series, were really conservative and "clean-cut" looking with their hairstyles. I mean compare the way that Christopher Knight looks in Season 1 to what he looks like hair-wise in Season 5, and it's like, no pun intended, night and day:

Cindy's bizarre reddish hair in Season 2 didn't last long. It stood out as a ghastly mistake.
