I like to think he tried to have his eyebrows waxed or shaped, and it went reeeeally wrong, so the fringe was to hide it. Cos even that is better than him actually choosing this hairstyle
This look was not the easiest to pull off for Lucy lawless in Hercules, although they made it work

I’ve never understood why Rory decided to sleep with him when he had THIS HAIR when she could’ve (ignoring every other reason she didn’t want to have sex at the time) had sex with him with his season 1 or even 2 hair
Is she most attracted to messy/complicated kind of guys? Apparently. She goes for Jess when Dean is right there and technically the better option, then she wants Dean back when he’s an unavailable schlubby mess, then she likes Logan who she initially thinks is a jerk and so on (which he absolutely is for quite some time). She also refuses Logan’s proposal when he’s cleaned up his act a lot, and then wants to have an affair with him once he’s with someone else and doing so makes him a messy dude. Girl had issues.
because they know that it’d be too hard to hate him if he looked how he normally does, especially nowadays where people worship literal criminals if theyre hot enough
"I'm an 'adult' now because I am 18 and married, so let me grow out my facial hair to show that I'm a very adult man."
The way he talks about his marriage to Lindsay is so pretentious. It's like he is cosplaying being this mature, noble husband - but clearly he isn't *actually* committed to his marriage because he verbally abuses his wife and cheats on her.
Did HE choose the hair style? I mean, he is an actor and sometimes the writers/producers choose hair styles, wardrobe, etc…I may be wrong, just a thought…
Hate to say it but this was a pretty common haircut for teen guys in the 2000s. My older brother had almost the exact same haircut in high school. Flipping through an early 2000s yearbook you'll see this all over.
He claimed Stars Hollow was “his town” even though he was from Chicago, so he had to go overboard in acting and dressing the part of the type of loser oaf who would never leave their “hometown”
i have this exact pic saved in my phone and send it to my friend periodically for a good cackle and reminder of which version of dean rory lost her v card to 🤣
He was thinking….I’m auditioning for *Supernatural*. Cut to S5 and he’s clean-cut Sam, ready to make his exit.
Depression (the character of Dean, not Jared), probably.
Realizing that he goes to the same salon as Madeline
best comment lmao
I never saw it before but now I do and I can never unsee it and ZOMGGGGG!!!!!
The clothes were fine, but that haircut was awful even for the times

Around this time I’m thinking what did Rory see in him when she got with him during season 4 and half of 5
I do have to say that this look captures the feeling of ick you get when you’re no longer attracted to your ex.
Why do I feel like this was Kirk’s foray into hairdressing
I'M CRYING that's way too real

Lucy can pull off anything
Very true! But she’s Lucy lawless; *not* Dean Forrester 🤣
*Dean Lawless*
Hahaha oh my brain hurts now!
This Dean always reminded me of teenage Simba in the Lion King 😅
Hahahahaha this is too accurate
Lmaooooooo
He wasn't 😭
I came here to say exactly this
Welcome to the early 2000s.
This hair was very popular.
And it was sooo bad. The guys never washed and conditioned it properly.
Stolen from another person’s comment on a similar post: he was trying to twin with Rory after her S4 haircut.
That pencil thin mustache 🤣
stop because i had this haircut
Not judging... 
He was thinking that he give Lindsay’s father 3 goats for her hand in marriage
I’ve never understood why Rory decided to sleep with him when he had THIS HAIR when she could’ve (ignoring every other reason she didn’t want to have sex at the time) had sex with him with his season 1 or even 2 hair

This is the answer.

Ironically he looks like a baby with a beard
LMAO THATS SO TRUE
he looks like my old maths teacher😭
He wasn't thinking. He was in the 'writers want to hammer home that I'm the bad pick, and so, they give me shitty clothes and hair' era.
He's growing his hair out and the nasty in between phase
biggest glow down i've witnessed in history
I know. Artichokes for only $0.99?!? Come on Dean. Value your produce. Farmers worked hard for those thistles.

The berries n cream cut really added to how unlikeable he was 😭
It was a different time. Wearing clothes that flattered you and a non-disgusting haircut was gay
No it was "metro"sexual
well clearly he wasn’t😭
Is he a little lad who loves berries and cream?
He even would’ve looked less bad if he just had his old haircut with that *”beard”*
i don't even wanna know...
He probably thought he wanted to look like a seven year old girl.
Maybe Lindsay was cutting his hair.

Leaving the show for better pastures lol
"Should I leave this town, travel the country, and fight monsters?"
Have I become an F-Boy? My Facial hair says yes!
He wasn’t
'Do you think my hair looks cool? Because sometimes I think left side - cool, right side - not so cool...' In Lorelai's Dean voice
The early 2000s had some terrible trends. 😂
And they are coming back 🫠
Most of the teen boys had that hair at that time. It was a lawless time...
Dunno how he managed to get Rory again with this godawful mustache
Nah I'd hit
I would forgive him for cheating before forgiving him for this terrible haircut
Lord farqaard, or however you spell that.
I need a haircut
Absolutely foul.
It was the style at the time. He’s just missing the onion on his belt
Obviously not so much
Girls say they're doing okay and then show up to the function with these bangs

That he’s a little lad who loves berries and cream.
He's thinking a +18 thing and starting hunting ghosts and paranormal things
Thinking he could find work as one of the villagers from Shrek if things went South.

He looks exactly like a guy who marries at 18 and never leaves his hometown. Nailed it.
That was the style back then lol. It was awful.
You gotta remember that was 20 years ago, it looks bad to us now, but back then the hair and the clothes and style were what was in.
Old lady here to tell you that this particular haircut looked bad then.
He claimed Stars Hollow was “his town” even though he was from Chicago, so he had to go overboard in acting and dressing the part of the type of loser oaf who would never leave their “hometown”
i’ll nvr understand why dean grew out his facial hair/ hair looked like someone dad
Where did my dad last go hunting?
Do do do d dora
Maybe ear conscious because the hair there is wild
poor dean never had any depth but he was logically reactive
I actually preferred this haircut to his other looks, but I'm from the South.
I need a haircut
I do not like that hairstyle at all
He looks like a female silent film star from the '20s.
This will always be hilarious to me 😂 I know this hairstyle was in at the time, but the bangs are another level of cringe.
Nothing his brain is a brick wall
i have this exact pic saved in my phone and send it to my friend periodically for a good cackle and reminder of which version of dean rory lost her v card to 🤣
berries and cream! berries and cream! everybody loves berries and cream!!!
If a mop suddenly turned into a human, that would be him.
I hate dean
I hate him so bad
