Conan O'Brien's hair looks like a shock of white spikes now. He told Entertainment Weekly the new style was not a choice. A hair product left him with a scalp burn that felt like blazing heat. He had no choice but to go frizzy and drastic. He says the pain was immediate. Some fans online said it seemed like post-shower hair. Others compared it to a horror jumpscare.
This odd hair moment happened just as summer cuts lean toward stacked bob cuts and more volume. Celebrity looks keep grabbing attention in the U.S. market. Meanwhile, arguments over harsh haircut regulations at schools drag on in other countries.
