Messed up and poorly put together. Messy looking things such as makeup, hair, and outfits. Often lay used on social media such as Twitter, YouTube, Vine, and Instagram. Maine people say they look ratchet but they actually look perfect. Some people are REALLY ratchet every day!
My hair looks so "ratchet" today! Ugh.
