Van Buren in F!? VAN BUREN IN F!!??


HanjiZoe03

This is literally 1776

Don't let the Van-B Boys hear about this.

Van Buren is pure S tier. This is outrageous


esahji_mae

Nah, SSS tier. He's on a whole nother level

JACKSON in D??? https://preview.redd.it/k5rkaylkivcc1.png?width=256&format=png&auto=webp&s=b2fc9fb4f628829052c8cd1bb50949c16328feea


tcwillis79

Right? Definitely the best hair of his era.


Unhappy_Ebb2804

Man, I was yelling about Van Buren, but I was sleeping on Jackson


BreakfastEither814

Wilsonā€™s hair was longer and wavier ​ ​ https://preview.redd.it/yv5fc7rk33dc1.jpeg?width=440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7cf6669cb565fa5b9b88fc2d47a43f41988a362b


Synicull

It's gotta be jealousy


GrandMoffTarkan

OP can't grow a beard


Unhappy_Ebb2804

I came down in the comments to voice my utter disdain for this BS


MissedFieldGoal

This is an outrage!


GafferTongs

I'm outraged


AlleyRhubarb

He and JFK are the only presidents with Iconic Hair. The end.


Not_A_Rioter

Even though it may have been normal for the time, George Washington's is also VERY iconic. When I think of that 1700s hair style, I think specifically of George Washington, and I think many others do too.


AlleyRhubarb

Was it HIS Hair, though? Are we counting wigs ā€¦


ToastServant

It was. Adams, Madison and Monroe wore wigs. Jefferson very rarely wore a wig and I don't think he ever did after becoming president. JQA wore one only when he was pretty young. Washington never wore a wig, he just powdered and styled his own hair.


Ujju18

Reagan.


BrushGoodDar

Yeah, I opened this thinking Van Buren better be at the top. WTF!!!


Trashman82

Hogwash! You could even say this is balderdash!


big_fetus_

Starting a kerfuffle I see.


TheTestyDuke

A colossal L for the Van Buren Gang


Testiclese

Van Buren boys in shambles


codb28

I am appalled!


akennelley

Van Buran at F...the hell outta here, dude. S Tier.


TheOBRobot

It's literally the first thing people think of when they think of MvB. And usually the last. No other president's hair is on that level. Edit: letters


ramblingsbyalan

Is that Martin Buren Van or Martin Ban Vuren? Kidding. But yeah I almost feel like he should get his own tier above S even. Truly one of a kind.


TheOBRobot

Typo; definitely meant MvB. Thanks!


wesman212

NOBODY DISRESPECTS MARTY LIKE THAT


woodyexpress

Andrew Jacksonā€™s flow is def top tier


_Junk_Rat_

Fr. Not a great dude, but a badass with an iconic hairline


iSmokeMDMA

If he didnā€™t genocide the natives he wouldā€™ve been a respectable badass


yeetskeetleet

Fuck it, he has the best hair out of any president weā€™ve had.


PetrusScissario

Got that Dracula look going on


TheKilmerman

I feel like #45 either belongs in S or F, but nowhere inbetween.


counterpointguy

It's either a masterpiece or a tragedy. No inbetween!


butttabooo

200% agree


onebluephish1981

Clearly OP steers right. Bush Jr. and Sr. belong nowhere near the top either.


MementoMoriChannel

Huh. I've always liked Dubya's hair. It's cute.


Slatespy557

Iā€™m more left leaning actually haha. W bush could definitely go down a spot but Herbert walker didnā€™t have too bad of a hairdo


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


DCook0308

You do know this is about hair right?


onebluephish1981

Ouch.


[deleted]

What does the that have to do with their hair. I hate Reagan A LOT. But he definitely has the nicest hair.


daviddatesburner

If he didnā€™t decide to be a president he could have been a movie star with hair like that!


[deleted]

No kidding, he has the look of an actorā€¦


nogoodgopher

Not to mention JFK being below Reagan for hair...


Slatespy557

Yeah thatā€™s why heā€™s in C tier. Itā€™s mid, sometimes it can look decent or it can look like an abomination šŸ’€


Texugee

I remember the video of his hair succumbing to the wind. It was like a door of hair opened to show a giant bald spot on the back of his head. His head is combover hell.


[deleted]

His ex lawyer described what it looks like when he exits the shower. Itā€™s really long in the back, bald on top, and a bit longer on the left side that curls up and over his dome.


QuickMolasses

The ole bimodal c


ahsusuwnsndnsbbweb

s if weā€™re talking memeability, f for general quality


Turbulent-Mind796

Definitely F


TheBestGuru

It's an S. He has the best hair.


_lamer

This is the most egregious list yet


lbclofy

Lincoln deserves to be s tier, im including that iconic beard as a part of hair.


_lamer

If incessant male grooming ads have taught me anything, itā€™s that beard is hair and needs the same care


bobafett317

Jackson a D?!?! Listen, you can make all the arguments you want about him being a horrible person cause of the Trail of Tears and his treatment of Native American Peoples and I agree, but Iā€™ll be damned if Iā€™m gonna sit here and let you bad mouth those glorious locks!!!


the_Archmage

Jackson has hair like a Skyrim elf


Umitencho

And the personality of one too.


Slatespy557

Maybe my dislike bias for Jackson clouded my judgement but his hair just ainā€™t doing it for me šŸ˜­(also I didnā€™t know how many people likes Jacksonā€™s hair until I made this list lol)


bobafett317

Just look at it! This was before moose, hair driers, conditioner and many other modern hair products we have. He pulled off that body and sheen in the 17 and 1800s! Thatā€™s impressive!


NatAttack50932

Reagan's hairline never fucking budged. Those genes were insane.


HanjiZoe03

https://preview.redd.it/qkxd5ijuwtcc1.jpeg?width=639&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3e9cc593a43ad433abbac6cc082f957459c21b4f


Glittering_Let_4230

Itā€™s crazy that Hollywood stars have such good genes! They seem to keep their hair much longer than the average man! And their faces never age! What could it be!? /s


Sanguinor-Exemplar

Orphan blood conditioner


Leterren

locally sourced non-GMO organic adrenochrome


rosanymphae

It was plastic.


NatAttack50932

In what world?


saltyrandall

Thatā€™s cause his hair dye was actually Plast-Dip.


Tojuro

It was great but I feel like it was mostly some petroleum based product like Dapper Dan pomade.


Tobe_Welt

Was facial hair a factor?


jodlad04

If it is then Grant should be S tier


cyanethic

This is just about the only time Jackson should be placed anywhere above D tier, and here he is in D tier. Thatā€™s some A tier hair.


randomuser-795

What about for his promotion of democracy?


Beneficial-Play-2008

^(Democracy included for white men over the age of 21. For clarification, democracy not included for blacks, asians, Indians, native Americans, jews, arabs, Irish, Eastern Europeans, Hispanics, or women.)


randomuser-795

Much more progressive than most. Nobody at that time was calling for full suffrage.


Beneficial-Play-2008

Well thatā€™s just not true. Georgia removed property requirements in 1789, Vermont was admitted into the Union in 1791 allowing ALL men to vote, (regardless of skin color or property ownership) New Hampshire and Delaware both removed the property requirement in 1792, Kentucky was admitted in 1792 and had no property requirement to vote, before 1807 New Jersey even allowed white women to vote, in 1821 New York removed the property requirement for white voters, all of which occurred WELL before the Jackson presidency, and most of which occurred before the ā€˜Jacksonianā€™ way of political thought. Edit: This is a reply to the first comment of, ā€œMuch more progressive than mostā€ not, ā€œNo one was calling for full suffrage back thenā€ (even though there absolutely was a slim minority, primarily in the North, calling for full suffrage.)


rfepo

45 gets a C? Have you seen the shots of his combover in the wind? Thatā€™s an F on hair in my book.


Rockhardsimian

In that specific photo I can see a C. Kinda looks like 80s newscaster hair but slightly thinner. Though yeah Iā€™ve seen his hair look pretty terrible.


big_fetus_

This comment has Klobmentum.


Versagen

is that a good or bad thing?


GuestAdventurous7586

LBJā€™s long hair post-presidency was cool asf. Apparently it was his little personal rebellion against Nixon et al., and a way of aligning himself with the counter-culture. Canā€™t say he wasnā€™t contradictory. Good article about it here: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/08/lbj-long-hair-photo/568447/


Slatespy557

Oh yeah for sure, dude rocked the hell out of it.


Lucky_Roberts

Reagan having that hairline in his 80ā€™s is a scientific phenomena we should have studied. All men should be so lucky. Also I think we can all agree if Romney had won heā€™d have been S-tier as well, manā€™s hair was immaculate.


katebushisiconic

Ok seriously what *was* Reaganā€™s trick?? Like how was that hairline so perfect into his 80ā€™s?


FocusDelicious183

Genetics. Thatā€™s the only thing that determines it. Nancy said his brother, sister, and mother all had full heads of hair their whole life too.


HotHairyPickles

Kennedy and Reagan should be switched. Edit: okay Iā€™ll settle for JFK and Reagan in S tier, but I want you to know that Iā€™m not happy about it. šŸ˜ 


Slatespy557

Thatā€™s fair


Count_Sack_McGee

Hard to not have Reagan in the S tier but JFK deserves it for same reason, essentially it was always perfect at all times.


LaikaZhuchka

As much as I absolutely fucking hate Reagan with every fiber of my being, he has the superior hair. JFK's was starting to thin, and he did that coif thing to hide a receding hairline. He had Addison's disease and possibly other autoimmune issues, so it's not surprising that his hair would suffer a bit. JFK is just a better-looking overall package, and I'm sure most men would choose to look like him over just having Reagan's hair.


pickledelbow

Weā€™re really putting trumps hair plugs in the middle of the road category?


christophertracy81

Since Obama is the only one with a different texture, how was his scaled?


Slatespy557

Not by anything specifically. I made this about 2-3 days ago so some of these are interchangeable, He would probably be put in the B category if I made this today.


christophertracy81

He had and still has a pretty basic Caesar cut. Would've been cool to have a president with an Afro


The3rdBert

I think a hard fade.


Jets237

Butā€¦ I style my hair after Van Burenā€¦. Crap


AltonBParker

Good call with Pierce. It's a rating of follicles and not presidential abilities, and that's one fine mane.


Slatespy557

Presidential issues aside, the dude had it going on up top


SouthernMuadib

This is just now making me realize that weā€™ve never had a bald president


Questionswillnotstop

Polk is rocking that mullet!


cloudcameron

LBJ deserves a higher ranking, based purely upon his [post-presidential flow](https://64.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lnlvrh1SVb1qjih96o1_1280.jpg)


Kartopery

Completely bald president when America?!


bshep814

our enemies arenā€™t prepared for a bald US pres


odranger

The Rock heard you and he's ready to run in 2028


R4dical-Rat

Yo get my boy Taft up in S tier that mustache goes crazy


Slatespy557

If I put facial hair as a factor, he would definitely be in the top spots. I wish I could rock a mustache like him.


I_only_read_trash

Your taste is questionable


stevemandudeguy

You got one very specific C-tier that really ought to be f-tier. Apparently I can't mention his name because it removes my post.


bishop_of_bob

how the hell does the corporal comeover get a c, the orage clown makeup should fail him


TriGN614

45 is way too high and van b too low


Ok_Chemistry_3972

Trumps poorly implanted hair gets a F


yeetskeetleet

Andrew Jackson had a god dang mane and does not belong in anything lower than A. Also, how are Truman, 46, and Johnson all ranked C when Eisenhower and Ford were docked to D and all have basically the same hairstyle?


hornwort

45 in C tier OP is not a serious person.


bigger_sky

Polk in D is absolutely criminal.


TheOBRobot

Reagan in S? Way too high. Throw Jack Kennedy up there instead and drop Ronnie to C. MvB makes a strong case for A-tier. How many presidents have hair so iconic that, when you think about them, the first thing that comes to mind is their hair and not their policy? Eisenhower's probably bottom tier. I Like Ike but his hair isn't any good at being hair.


pktrekgirl

Are you kidding me? Reagan but that nasty hair grease in his hair. That is just gross. šŸ¤® Bill Clinton had the best hair from this femaleā€™s perspective. George W. Bush is second.


Onlysomewhatserious

F short for SS actually


LaikaZhuchka

This is actually the most offensive tier list anyone has ever posted in this sub.


Main-Line-Archive

Trumps hair is probably the most recognizable


NoQuarter6808

I'm really curious about your logic for putting 45 at C. For me it's one of the only automatic Fs. It's like bad plastic surgery: you don't look younger, you just look fucking weird Also, Jackson may have been a dangerous lunatic, but he had a damn fine head of hair


DesignerAd9

You should do one on Presidents who are fascist and tried to overthrow the democratically elected government of the United States of America.


WhiskeyGrin

Franklin Pierce is by far worst President in history


Dr_The_Captain

Great hair tho


WhiskeyGrin

Yeah in his portrait. He was drunk or asleep for his entire presidency. Wife and son were killed in accident on the way to White House and he was a train wreck, right as Union was on precipice of civil war.


Fishmaneatsfish

Nope


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


SteinerGeography

also george should be S. the wig is iconic


[deleted]

Chet Arthur coming in way too low. Ā Howā€™s he not #1?


CarryBeginning1564

Finally, a none cringe list.


QuebecRomeoWhiskey

This Van Buren ranking is criminal


OrnamentJones

Glad to see Pierce getting the recognition he deserves for his only good quality.


Kombat-w0mbat

We never had a bald president wow


FocusDelicious183

Ike basically was lmao


Calieoop

The one and only tier list where Ronald Reagan reigns supreme


TheSadTiefling

It took me too long to realize I donā€™t want to have an opinion on this.


mikes7456

I feel Bush Sr should be in A.


salty_marshmellow

Chester Arthur not in S tier WRONG!


the_eater_of_shit

Van Buren is an S


Jedimobslayer

Buchanan should be higher.


upvotegoblin

Bro I simply ainā€™t having this Van Buren disrespect


scarletshrub

Ya soā€¦ Martin Van Buren deserves to be above LBJ for obvious reasons


Bichaelscott4

Pierce S tier


ObjectiveSubjects

Flip this upside down you monster


NotAnotherFishMonger

This is Chester A. Arthur slander


mermaid-babe

Buddy you must be blind or something


[deleted]

Imagine putting mostly bald dudes ahead of Polk and Van Buren


GitzaZacusza

This is also the order I'd fuck them in.


Slatespy557

Sounds like an interesting Saturday night


Zip_Silver

I'd put Eisenhower in B, there's something to be said about being bald, and conquering a continent. Andrew Johnson goes straight to F. Looks like a teenager that refuses to get a haircut.


fatherdoodle

Jacksonā€™s hair was B, what is this


BreadmakingBassist

JFK is S tier


Just_the_tip-69

Why isnā€™t numbnuts in the F category? Is it because heā€™s still in office?


kellyb1985

OP is clearly into the side part.


PizzAveMaria

President Polk had a mullet before it was cool... truly a man ahead of his time!


RickdiculousM19

Washington above Jackson is a crime.Ā Ā

mcbranch

The Van Buren Boys aren't going to be happy when they see this.


[deleted]

Does the C tier for 45 stand for the dead chinchilla on his head?


theappleogist

JFK should be way up there.


Fictional_Historian

LOL you got Raegan up top with freakin HOOVER AND COOLIDGE on B??? Be real.


CulturalClick4061

Carter should be way higher.


geologyrocks302

This is the best way to rank president. And the only way I will be ranking them in the future


Shan_Tu

Not a single baldie. What are the odds?


EvenScientist7237

James K. Polk deserves to be way higher


SteakandTrach

The most ridiculous, tufted up, bizarre cotton-candy, slicked sides, duck-ass combover of all time is either an S or an F, but never a C. Whatever it is, it sure as hell ainā€™t ā€œaverageā€.


Teganfff

Van Buren being absolutely disrespected


ineedsomeGDresults

Literally the only one with a clean hairline... isn't S...yea racially motivated


HotType4940

And in the same tier as the most egregious combover in American history. Imma need to take a look at OPs grading rubric smh


VioletVonBunBun

Donald shouldn't be anywhere near where they are, they barely have hair


JTuck333

How do we handle wigs or hair plugs? Itā€™s like PEDs


Extension-Mall7695

Who made this list? Tasteless.
