For years, Mahomes has sported the same haircut featuring tapered sides with longer curls on top, a look he maintained from his Texas Tech days all the way through his Super Bowl-winning NFL career. However, new photos circulating on social media show that Patrick Mahomes has officially ditched his trademark style.

Mahomes told AOL in 2019 that the hairstyle was the result of a friendly bet with a buddy when he was younger. They each grew out their hair and wanted to see who would go the longest before finally cutting it. “As I grew it out, I realized that I actually liked it a lot,” Mahomes told AOL Sports. “So, I kept it going.”
