7. Jack Sparrow

What do you even call what Johnny Depp’s Pirates of the Caribbean character had going on under that bandana? You can’t dignify them by calling them locs, but you also can’t minimize the reputational damage done — to Black hair and to pirates. All dude needs is a peasant skirt, and he’s ready to IG Live from Coachella. Hope you’ve got some clippers in that treasure chest, matey!

6. The dude from Counting Crows

Sure, he’s got a name, but do you know it? (It’s Adam Duritz.) Out here looking like the cat in the back row of your junior-year history class who never had a pencil. Not only were your man’s locs extensions, but they somehow got peak Jennifer Aniston on his arm. Mr. Jones, you gotta stop.

5. Drexl Spivey in “True Romance”

Gary Oldman may be a hell of an actor, but playing a Detroit pimp in this crime flick fell juuuust outside his range. The character design was dope — milky eye, fronts, leopard-print robe, and a head full of locs that scream spring break ’97 — but that accent just wasn’t it, chief. Drexl said it himself: It ain’t White boy day.
