Her bangs were so big because they were full of secrets! Sometimes a gal just has to experiment with heavy fringe one time to discover that the hairstyle is not for her. Lindsay Lohan decided to try the divisive hairstyle on for size in 2003, which just happens to be the same year the “Life-Size” star and Aaron Carter called it quits. So, perhaps her fresh look was a post-breakup chop?
For the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards, Lohan made the unfortunate decision to slightly curl her bangs. While they were razor-cut rather than blunt, the result was still very grade school picture day. Worse yet, she wore the rest of her hair styled in scraggly curls that were just screaming for a good finger combing. The underside of her hair was dyed a darker shade than the top (remember that early aughts trend?), which was strawberry blond with highlights. There was just way too much going on, so maybe Lohan should have just pulled those limp locks up into a topknot a la Tinkerbell and called it a day.
Lohan explained her peekaboo hair color in a 2019 MTV News interview. “I wanted to go blonde. I was filming, at the time, ‘Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen,’ so I was going through a drama phase,” she shared.
