"Warning: This post may cause extreme &amp;#x27;80s flashbacks. I mentioned Jem (who you may know as the leader of Jem and the Holograms) yesterday and there&amp;#x27;s a reason why the old-school cartoon has been on my mind recently. In the last couple of weeks, I&amp;amp;#8217;ve spotted a couple of stars sporting intentionally lop-sided hairstyles, which always make me think of the show&amp;#x27;s character Clash whose hair snaked down just one shoulder. So before I get into whether the revival of this trend is a good thing, let me first refresh your memory of the cartoon character&amp;#x27;s hair: Funny, right? Now that that&amp;#x27;s out of the way, on to the stars I&amp;#x27;ve spotted recently sporting similar styles. Here&amp;amp;#8217;s Queen Latifah with a short &amp;#x27;do I first noticed at the The Secret Life of Bees premiere (though I was too obsessed with her lipstick at the time to focus on the hair). And we also have Gwyneth Paltrow&amp;amp;#8217;s funky bob, which I pointed out around the time she first debuted it a few weeks ago. And we have singer Natasha Bedingfield going for drama with the most unbalanced cut out of these three celebs. My take: I actually really love the Queen&amp;amp;#8217;s style&amp;amp;#8212;I think it&amp;amp;#8217;s fresh and cool and frames her face well. And I&amp;amp;#8217;ve already admitted that I adore Gwyneth&amp;amp;#8217;s &amp;amp;#8216;do. But Natasha&amp;amp;#8217;s is just a little too close to Clash&amp;amp;#8217;s style for me&amp;amp;#8212;it&amp;amp;#8217;s almost like a lopsided mullet. I think it&amp;amp;#8217;s possible that I&amp;amp;#8217;ll like it better when it grows out a bit, but for now, I can&amp;#x27;t give it my thumbs up. What do you think of asymmetrical hair? Are you a fan? Do you love all three styles? Think any of the looks don&amp;amp;#8217;t work? Are you planning your uneven cut as you read this? And, um, am I the only Jem fan who remembers Clash&amp;#x27;s hair that vividly?
