It seems like Patrick Mahomes’ new haircut might be more than just a fashion statement. His barber, DeJuan Bonds, recently revealed that Mahomes’ frustration with the Super Bowl loss could have been a factor in the decision to shave his head.

Mahomes, who is known for his iconic mohawk, surprised fans with his new buzz cut. While some have praised the fresh look, others have questioned why he would make such a drastic change.

Bonds, who has been cutting Mahomes’ hair since 2017, said that Mahomes told him to “cut it all off” after the Super Bowl loss. However, Bonds, being the experienced barber that he is, knew that Mahomes didn’t really mean to shave his head completely.

It seems like Mahomes was simply looking for a change after a disappointing end to the season. And while the new haircut might take some getting used to, it’s clear that Mahomes is ready to move on and focus on the future.
