Conan O'Brien's hair looks like a burst of white spikes now. He told a magazine the new style was not a choice. A hair product left him with a scalp burn that felt like burning agony. He had no choice but to go frizzy and extreme. He says the pain was instant. Some fans online said it resembled someone fresh from the shower. Others compared it to a horror jumpscare.
This odd hair moment happened just as summer cuts lean toward stacked bobs and more volume. Celebrity looks keep grabbing attention in the U.S. market. Meanwhile, arguments over strict haircut rules at schools drag on in other countries.
