    Laurent's faux dreads still haunt my dreams.

    Despite the year being 2022, I am still 100% obsessed with all things Twilight — the saga is ALMOST perfect...but everything must have one flaw, and their critical flaw was the AWFUL wigs used throughout the series.

    Summit Entertainment

    Somehow a film series that grossed over $3 billion could not invest that money into some realistic-looking lace fronts. 

    So here's my ranking of the truly atrocious Twilight wigs — from the bad to the WORST:

    14. The Denali sisters:

    TBH, I lumped them together because a) I can't tell them apart, and b) their wigs are all equally bad. 

    13. Rosalie Hale (Twilight):

    I understand that Rosalie is supposed to be the most beautiful/striking creature to ever walk this earth — but the EYEBROW and WIG combo they put on Nikki Reed (who is already a contender for most beautiful human ever) was truly a disservice. 

    12. Bella Swan (Eclipse):

    Kristen Stewart had to wear a wig after chopping off all her hair for The Runaways, and THIS was the best they could do...FOR THE LEAD???  

    11. Rosalie Hale (Eclipse):

    Rosalie's hair is bad throughout all the movies, but something about this side braid really rubbed me the wrong way. It somehow looks even MORE unnatural than her already unnatural wig. 

    10. Victoria No. 2:

    I understand with the recast how they tried to slip one past us, but they didn't fool me! One of my best friends has curly red hair, so I know a fake when I see one!

    9. Alice Cullen:

    They took the "pixie-like" description a LIL' too far with this one. 

    8. Jasper Hale (Eclipse):

    IDK what's worse — his hair or the fact that he was a Confederate solider. (I mean, obviously the latter, but the hair is a close second.) 

    7. Carlisle Cullen:

    SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME HOW ONE COULD MAKE PETER FACINELLI LOOK NOT HOT???? DO YOU KNOW HOW BAD A WIG HAS TO BE TO DISTRACT YOU FROM THIS MAN'S BEAUTY??? 

    6. Jasper Hale (Twilight):

    Much like his expression implies, I am also in pain over this wig. It's giving Justin Timberlake à la "Bye Bye Bye" — and, sadly, unlike JT, we could not say ~bye bye bye~ to this 'do. 

    5. James:

    I don't think the ratty ponytail and leather jacket combo is giving what James intended. 

    4. Aro:

    It's the heart-shaped hairline for me. 

    3. Caius:

    The center part and shadow roots are...not. They're just not. 

    2. Jacob Black:

    Me to the hair and makeup artist: "What the hell was going through your mind, loca?" Needless to say, we were all excited when Jacob was able to rock his short hair post-werewolf transformation. 

    1. Laurent:

    I'mma say it — this was a hate crime.
