Maybe he should get bangs?

Patrick Mahomes wanted to cut off “all” his hair following the Kansas City Chiefs’ crushing loss in the 2025 Super Bowl against the Philadelphia Eagles — until his longtime barber stepped in.

DeJuan Bonds, who has been working with Mahomes for years, told Us Weekly he had to convince the quarterback, 29, not to make any rash decisions amid his heightened emotional state.

“The whole time that I’ve been cutting his hair, he just lets me do what I do,” Bonds told the outlet Tuesday. “But when he asked for a change, he basically was like, ‘Just cut me all off.’”

“I was like, ‘No, no, no. We’re not just going to cut it all off,’” he continued. “We’re actually going to collab on this and go a little bit at a time, take it a little bit down. We kind of came to a common ground like, ‘OK, this is the cut, this is the cut, this is the length.’ It was a collaboration on this last one.”

The pair ultimately decided to ditch the NFL star’s signature mohawk for a clean, cropped cut.

While Bonds admits the look has been a bit polarizing among fans, he and the “humble” athlete were happy with the final product.

Mahomes first debuted the new look at his grandfather’s funeral on Feb. 17 — over one week after the big game.

Although he took a step back from the spotlight following the loss, Mahomes stepped out for a date night with his wife, Brittany Mahomes, on Monday night.

The high school sweethearts, who wed in 2022, attended a college basketball game between Patrick’s alma mater, Texas Tech, and Houston.

The Mahomeses sat courtside as they took in the action, which unfortunately ended in a loss for the Red Raiders.

Patrick put his new ‘do on display as he repped a red-and-black outfit complete with a branded varsity jacket. Fans flocked to the Instagram comments, hoping the shorter look would signify a positive next season.

“dude chopped the hawk, the league is cooked,” one commented on the team’s Instagram post. “The return gonna be epic,” said another.

Brittany, for her part, also rocked school colors, wearing black jeans and a cropped red coat.

The couple seemingly got a babysitter for the night as their three kids — Sterling, 4, Bronze, 2, and Golden, 1 month — weren’t pictured at the event.
