Bobby Brown Reveals His Signature ’80s Slanted Haircut Was Actually An Accident: ‘A Mistake That Turned Out To Be Great’

Bobby Brown says his iconic ’80s slanted haircut wasn’t planned at all!

Bobby, 56, explained that the now-famous style happened during a routine visit to the barber, saying:

“I was at the barbershop, and I looked the wrong way while he was cutting my hair. I was looking at somebody, and I shouldn’t have been. But he cut my hair the wrong way, and I left it.”

Instead of fixing it, Bobby rocked the slanted cut while filming his breakout hit “Every Little Step,” and the rest is history. The accidental style ended up setting a trend and became one of the most recognizable looks of the era.
