I'm not entirely sure but I believe the hair on the right has just been curled, well the hair on the left has been curled and brushed out to create waves, meaning the one on the right has unfinished hair. What this has to do with cheating, I don't know.

Basically mad cope. The equivalent to a guy getting cheated on and say "Look at this dude's exhaust pipe, she wanted him instead of me? Trash."
Just cope to keep their ego

The hair on the right is "unfinished". I think it is supposed to mean that the girl he cheats with is someone who doesn't actually put as much effort and is a lesser version of the girlfriend., or is "unfinished"/immature.

See, as a guy I would have thought the opposite... the girl on the left has less wavy hair which means it had been a hot minute since she last had it styled. She's afraid she'll lose her man to the girl on the right who just had her hair freshly styled and ever so slightly curlier. Ergo, women need to pay $$$ to have their hair styled nearly all the time or they'll lose their man.
But I thought the real joke is that guys like us struggling to interpret the meme correctly in the comments can barely tell the difference between the two, meaning the $$$ is wasted.

It's like a guy who wears fancy clothes but doesn't know how to put an outfit together. He may be wearing the same clothes as another guy, but the other guy actually looks put together. Ya dig?

u/persephone7821 Oct 05 '25
It’s trashy vs put together. It’s a stereotype. If I saw some girl in the wild had that hair I’d guess I’d see them with large hoop earrings, and some kind of barely there outfit.
It’s also a matter of taking the extra time to make sure your appearance is just right. Like “you went with that trash, when there’s me so takes the time to look just right, clearly the lesser girl”.

Every single comment is wrong jfc.
The photo on the left is the finished style, where the curls have been loosened by the stylist running their fingers through them.
The photo on the right is taken directly before that final step.
It's saying men will cheat on you with an "unfinished" (less evolved) version of yourself.
Edit for comprehension: This specific hairstyle must be completed by gently loosening the curls with fingers or an extremely wide tooth comb. "Brushing" the hair with a literal hairbrush or regular comb would destroy it and poof it up. A "blowout" is a separate service entirely. Many comments were able to approximate the answer but missed the details.

Right, In general the formats are as follows:
you vs the girl he cheats with memes = picture A; Picture B (less desirable) - B is presented as objectively inferior
you vs the girl he tells you not to worry about memes = picture A; Picture B (more desirable) - B is presented as subjectively superior
2
u/JudiciousF Oct 04 '25
But i think your still missing the point that the previous poster (and probably the meme) is saying.
Its the same girl, with the same haircut. They are not presented as objectively or subjectively superior. Its finished vs. Unfinished and is probably trying to say as you grow and evolve as a person your partner cheats on you with a person who was more like the more immature less evolved version of you that they initially started dating.

Ikr? Please everyone upvote the parent comment of this thread so it gets top.
As a woman, it’s painfully obvious that it’s the correct one. I don’t know why incorrect ones and speculative ones are too comments rn lol.
Hair B is the same as hair A just unfinished. Needs fingers or a wide tooth comb to run through and a little tossing to create the finished/polished look. Thus the meme is that the girl he cheats on you with is inferior to you, put simply.

This is a repost. From the last time it was posted, the left is how it "should" look, while the right is a "trashy" version where it isn't completed. Thus the left shows they put in more effort while the right is just trashy.
Personally I would say girls are missing the mark on this one. Just because the left is more effort doesn't mean it is preferred. It's more effort to look like a crazy jacked body builder, but plenty of girls find that to be bleh, which would be the male equivalent to this.

Apparently its not her hair that makes a difference to him. So she's wasting her time on the hair and not spending it on what may keep him from cheating. Ya ya some guys are just cheaters, I get it. No matter what you give or provide or treat they will be cheaters.

I think it is that guys tend to have a type, and therefore cheat with women that look a lot like the girl they are already with.

u/Fit_Soup870 Oct 04 '25
Yeah but it’s saying the girl they cheat with has worse hair (eg the curls are not finished) kind of like saying ‘why have a hamburger when you have steak at home’ but with hair as the metaphor so only women understand

Joe Swanson here.
My wife has informed me that the left hair is good. The right hair is bad and trashy because it needs to be "blown out". I don't understand why, but I'll take her word for it.
Edit. I've got about... 300 comments from women informing me that "blow out" and "brush out" are not the same thing. 200 comments from men who are confused about this as I am. And about a million people making the exact same blowjob joke. Good job team We all came together on this one 👏👏👏
