While there may be no particular science to whether or not certain people can pull off certain looks, sometimes, a hair experiment qualifies as objectively stomach-churning.

This summer, Miles Teller learned that lesson when the actor and natural brunette bleached his hair. After some deeply upsetting results, he is taking the necessary steps to earn your trust back.

Teller tweeted a photo of himself with freshly dyed brown hair accompanied by a plea for forgiveness.

"Dear Internet, I'm sorry I dyed my hair blonde," he wrote. "I never meant to hurt you. Please accept this apology."

Teller's blond look was for a movie and, while it wasn't a particularly dramatic transformation, it clearly had an effect on people's psyches.

This tweet is a great first step, but the internet never forgets, and only time will if the wounds will heal.
