Dhoni Has A New Haircut and People Can’t Keep Calm

It doesn’t take much to send people into paroxysms of excitement on social media. The new haircut of a cricket legend is quite enough. So Mahendra Singh Dhoni now sports a trendy new haircut and some carefully manicured facial hair and people loved it. Or not. Take a look:

The new look

The hashtag seems to indicate that the name of this style is the Faux Hawk (cousin of the Mohawk?). Dhoni has always been known to experiment with hair and this is his latest, fairly funky look.

The guy behind the scissors

The images were posted by hairstylist Aalim Hakim, director of Aalim hair n' beauty lounge. He has over half a million Instagram followers and seems to be a stylist to celebs and other cricket stars as this Instagram page indicates.

This also caught attention

Director Farah Kahn was directing Dhoni in an ad commercial and claimed to become his fan. Of course that went viral.

Aging in reverse

Fans are clearly digging the new look and think it makes Dhoni look younger.

Not bad

…For a 40 year old

Same-same

Because imitation is the best form of flattery.

Blast from the past

Dhoni has sported some pretty extreme looks in the past as well.

Remember these?

The man has experimented with hair quite a bit – sometimes unwisely, always boldly... often meme-worthy

People were reminded

…Of another style icon.

Some were like

Either they didn’t like the new look or thought it was unnecessary to make such a big deal about some guy’s hair, no matter how famous or talented.

Familiar

Matching

We’ve all experienced this

The ‘do’ looks really good at the salon. At home though, one is quite unable to recreate the stylised look. Dhoni’s new haircut looks great in the pictures – for how long though?
