Ranking: Nicolas Cage's Insane Hairstyles From Worst To Best

On one hand, you'd think that a criminal as successful as Cage's Castor Troy could probably afford a pretty slick hairdo, but on the other, the hideous thin-top only makes his psychotic character seem all that much more deranged.

Sure, Troy would come off as a total loonbag even if he had the most sensible, middle-of-the-road hairdo imaginable (because this is one of Cage's most legendarily bonkers performances), but here's proof that a seemingly minor detail can significantly boost the audience's perception of a character.

So yes, it's great for its purpose, but in terms of quality hair-care, it's basically a total bust.
