Bump It! Like It's HOT! 5 Celebrity Hair Catastrophes
Posted October 1st, 2009 at 4:48PM
Since Sir Mix-a-Lot's “Baby Got Back,” curves have been celebrated but recently there’s a different ‘bump’ that’s getting all the attention.
The ‘bump it,’ appropriately named, is a new contraption which is meant to be tucked under the crown of the head and then covered with hair, creating a ‘bump’.
It promises to take you from a bad hair day to a fresh-from-the-salon look in less than a minute.
Since when did having an awkward bump protruding from your head become so glamorous? Who ever thought we'd see the day when overly teasing your hair meant 'going natural'?
For 'special' occasions when you need a little more bump, there's the ‘Hollywood Bump', which produces hair that can only be describes as something in between the Elvira and Marge Simpson doo.
As far as I'm concerned 'Bump It' needs to issue a public apology for some of the hair catastrophes it's encouraging!
1. Amy Winehouse
2. This Lady
High Fashion SHOULDN'T Equal High Hair
3. Scarlett Johansson
4. J-Lo
5. Sarah Jessica Parker
I spot the 'Bump It' in use, everywhere I go. The bagger at my local grocery store-she bumps it. The teenager who hands me my coffee on my way to work-she bumps it. Me-I'm still on the fence about giving it a try but could use your help! Am I being fashion forward or heading for a fashion disaster?
Ladies- What do you think of this new must-have hair tool?
Time to confess: Have you bumped it in the past?
Men- I want to hear your comments too! Does it work to attract the opposite sex?

Hilarious. Simply hilarious. Thank you for sharing these hair pics just in time for Halloween. {:~D
-
Thanks for the laugh!
-
I am going to buy one for my girlfriend. I think it would look good on her
-
Well, I suppose it's slightly better than the traditional way of doing it - backcombing, aka "turn a substantial amount of the hair at the top of your head into a hopeless rat nest of tangled hair, and then smooth hair over top of the nest to give the rodents some privacy".
-
I've got a military style, short flat top.
Any growth out of the back of my head would be just down right scary- I'd probably be concerned it was some medical problem.... :-( -
laughing ..hahaha....nice topic to talk about
-
I guess it's ok not my thing really. I like short wedge bobs over the ears best. Bottom line is. If a woman wants to wear a bump it that's HER business and no one else s. Just leave people alone let them do their thing.
-
yes surely sexy when women try to work out!
-
i saw that on TV! is that a Palin thing??
-
I think the "bump it" is heading for fashion catastrophy, but I still like it, because it is a pictorial of my mood this week. At the very least, it is good for a laugh. LMAO.
-
Wow, that looks terrible. Why would anyone want their hair to look like that?
-
It's funny but that won't work here in Phi. hehe-tnx for the laugh !
-
I have seen the commerical for this product and none of the pictures I've seen have induced me to try it. Now maybe if I was a teenager I'd have a different opinion, because yes I admit it, when I was a teen I wore "high hair" teased to the limit and sprayed stiff. That was also the "style" in the late 80's, so I was just going along with the trend.
-
:) I had the big hair in the 80's but not quite as big as those in the story, thank goodness. Great post.
-
OMG, I didn't think it was possible for Amy Winehouse or Sarah Jessica Parker to get more freaky.
Note to hair stylists and trendsetters: Just because you CAN do something, doesn't mean you SHOULD. -
Lol i like it ...I do small ones without the contraption thingy all the time. I thought everyone did! And now 4 years after I started doing it I find out its terribly tacky *sigh*. I'm always the last to be in on the joke.
OK another confession, I've never seen those coif makers before; where do you get them from? (Do they only call "bumps" coifs where I come from lol?) Not that I'm going to go buy one or anything... -
Oh My!.. I think they are HIDEOUS!! But for all you asking where they can be found .. I've seen them at Wal-mart as I'm walking through with my groceries. I don't know why women would try to make their heads look like alien heads.. It just kinda creeps me out! Makes it harder to tell people from aliens if they were to land today!
-
Gosh it looks like something left over from a Hairdresser's convention or competition !!!!!!
Arsineh...... How does one embed a video into a story????????? -
This...thing...is utterly absurd!
-
Um... wow, just wow!
-
Ummm i think it is awful! LOL no i have never tried it and i don't plan to either =P
-
wow!!! That is funny!
-
LOL
-
I needed a good laugh! Thank you!
-
It kinda makes you look like you have an E.T. shaped aliens head.
-
Lady #2 is exactly what my hair looked like from a pic a roller coaster ride snapped! it was so funny I regret not buying it and posting it! Thats crazy!!!
-
can you say bee hive

-

-
