Worst: Scandal

The only thing more hilarious than guest star Lena Dunham's character's name, Kinky Sue? The wig the Girls creator and star is rocking while playing Kinky Sue.

Cookie can do no wrong. Especially in her amazing '90s-era wardrobe and wig.

HBO

Best: Game of Thrones

Honestly, we've considered going and buying blonde wigs and pretending we are the Khaleesi and/or queen more times than we'd care to admit. Also: BRAIDS.

NBC

Worst: Parks and Recreation

In the future, fake bang wigs are still bad. Even on Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler).

The CW

Best: Arrow

Listen, if we were to become a secret superhero, we'd rock platinum blonde hair, too.

Look at those lucious locks. Looks like time-travel is the secret to great hair. Curses!

Best: The Good Wife

Not sure why Julianna Margulies, who has naturally gorgeous curly hair, rocks a pretty awesome wig on The Good Wife? Let her explain: "Well, the main reason, honestly, was because I wanted her to have a little bit of that WASPy look to her and I'm a Jew with curly hair," she once explained. Oh, and said wig costs about $10,000. Feel free to go cry in your apartment that costs less than that at anytime.

ABC

Best: Scandal

How refreshing was it to see Mellie without the Texas-sized hair? It also must've been nice not to constantly reek of hair spray, too.

ABC

Best and Worst: Scandal

Almost unrecognizable with a beard, we can't decide how we feel about Cyrus' former look. We just know we're grateful to Scandal for showing us said former look.

Worst: Scandal

Sublety, thy name is not crazy, homeless, flashback Huck.

Worst: Revenge

Thanks for tarnishing our love for Jack forever with this horrifying wig, Revenge. We'll never forgive you.

Best: Scandal

Olivia's flashback hair wasn't drastically different, but we quite enjoyed her bangs.

Best: Revenge

Dark hair and bangs looks just as good as revenge on Emily. Get it?!

Best: New Girl

Damn Cece, you sure rocked the hell out of that sleek bob.

FOX

Best and Worst: New Girl

Nick and Winston's teenage looks were both horrifying and hilarious, delighting us to no end. (Why so greasy, Nick's hair?!)

Fox

Worst: New Girl

We still have PTSD from our butterfly clip-wearin' days. Shudder.

Fox

Best: New Girl

Ever wondered what Nick Miller would look like as a '70s porn star? You're welcome.

18/24
CBS

Worst: How I Met Your Mother

The only thing worse than current Ted Mosby? College era Ted Mosby, part-time radio DJ, full-time pretentious douchebag. (And the hair just added to his awfulness.)

CBS

Best: How I Met Your Mother

Robin Sparkles, the greatest Canadian pop star you've never heard of, is the flashback gift that keeps on giving on the CBS sitcom.

Good to know hair product was available in 1492 and that the Originals put it to good use.

No words for Elijah's hair here. Just none.

The '20s definitely suited Stefan, who looked ridiculously good with slicked back hair, no?

Oh, Arrow, Oliver's flashback hair never fails to amuse us. But we won't lie, we'd still hit it. (#Noshame)

Bob Mahoney/The CW

Best: The Originals

Charles Michael Davis got it pretty easy for his first flashback as just a bit of volume and height was added to Marcel's coif. Also, we're living for Rebekah's romantic updo.
