One of the hallmarks of teen drama shows is questionable fashion choices, and characters' hairstyles are definitely no exception. From bangs to highlights to mullets, we've truly seen it all.

The other day, I was thinking about all of the, um, interesting hair choices I've seen throughout my years of watching teen dramas. Looking back, some of these TV haircuts weren't actually all that bad, while others...yikes, yikes, yikes.
So, without further ado, here are some infamous teen drama hairstyles, ranked from "not that bad" to "absolutely not":
17.Tina's blue/purple streaks and pigtails on Glee:
16.Amy's very, very '00s side bangs on The Secret Life of the American Teenager:
15.Manny's short 'do on Degrassi: The Next Generation:
CTV
It's not my favorite Manny style, but I actually sorta liked this look on her. I can see how it might be a bit too choppy, but I liked seeing Manny with shorter hair for once (btw, it's still f*ck Peter Stone for this scene).
14.Whatever Reggie's hair has going on post–time jump on Riverdale:
13.Frankie's "mid-life crisis" hair on Degrassi: Next Class:
12.Aria's hot pink streaks on Pretty Little Liars:
11.Nathan's super-long hair in Season 5 of One Tree Hill:
10.Serena's big and bold updo at Blair's wedding on Gossip Girl:
9.Ryan's bowl cut in Season 2 of The O.C.:
8.Quinn's punk rock hair phase on Glee:
Fox
This was a CHOICE. I know it was supposed to be wild and shocking because Quinn was going through her "rebellious" phase senior year, but I still can't get over it. The only reason I'm not being harsher on this one is because I sort of enjoyed Quinn's punk rock era.
7.Buffy's bangs on Buffy the Vampire Slayer:
6.Jen's reallyyyy short 'do and bangs on Dawson's Creek:
5.Lucas's long hair in Season 9 of One Tree Hill:
4.Betty's "Dark Betty" wig on Riverdale:
The CW
Seriously, what the hell was this? I'm glad for all of our sakes, especially Lili Reinhart's, that they stopped doing Dark Betty scenes.
3.Spinner's whatever-the-hell-this-was hair on Degrassi: The Next Generation:
2.Jeanette's choppy, teenage angst hair on Cruel Summer:
1.And finally, coming in at the top for worst hairstyle, Manny's blonde hair and bangs on Degrassi: The Next Generation:
