Earth-Shattering News: Jack White Gets a New Haircut

March 19, 2008

in music, the raconteurs

Thanks to faithful reader Wendy for dropping this new Raconteurs photo in my inbox:

the raconteurs

Woah, does this short, black, spikey ‘do remind you of anyone else?

Come and knock on my door…

joyce dewitt

Have your say: Jack White’s new haircut: UPGRADE/DOWNGRADE?

I vote….

upgrade.

I for one was not a fan of the long hair. But it’s still not back to the glory days of the short hair with natural waves. Is he flat-ironing the ends??!?!?!

laura March 19, 2008 at 4:14 pm

brendan’s got a white HAT on his knee. at first i thought it was a splint.

Jocelyn March 19, 2008 at 4:26 pm

DOWNGRADE!

anon March 19, 2008 at 4:44 pm

That’s not Jack White…it’s Liza Minnelli!

monkey March 19, 2008 at 6:38 pm

This has been discussed at great great length on the WS forum. General agreement Jack’s haircut is too feminine. So is Brendan’s, I think. He looks like Farrah Fawcett.

Anon March 19, 2008 at 11:15 pm

Patrick, is very handsome, Jack Hmmm looks like a lady.

Satan March 20, 2008 at 1:21 am

I like it. Upgrade. He can never look bad.

fo March 20, 2008 at 1:30 am

downgrade!!
and whats with that face!
oh definately downgrade
(still hot though)

My girlfriend said it best when she said Jack looks like Amelie.

(The striped baackground is way nice. No more sore eyes!)

I like it generally, though I think it is styled a little weird in this photo. Almost verging on Flock of Seagulls-ness.

I like that Jack changes his look from band to band though.

Patrick’s looks cute too. Did Brenden have long hair before, I can’t remember.

Little Jack is the constant, looking smooth as always!

laura March 20, 2008 at 11:03 am

Little Jack has the straightest hair known to man. I actually like Patrick’s new hair, although it does make him look a bit older and more serious. Brendan defo needs to tame that mane!

Maybe Jack just needs to “wash out” and “grow into” his new haircut. I’m just glad it’s shorter now.

I was thinking Joan Jett. I don’t like it in that photo, but I’ll reserve judgement until I see it in person.

Anonymous March 20, 2008 at 12:56 pm

He should go for something like Patrick’s style, or back to his old destijl/wbc pageboy

CAgirl March 20, 2008 at 3:32 pm

Joan Jett-that’s hilarious!

bustoff March 20, 2008 at 6:17 pm

That haircut demands a high collar or scarf.

Anonymous March 20, 2008 at 9:05 pm

he looks like a douche

Anonymous March 20, 2008 at 9:07 pm

hmmm still strategically hiding the bald spots. you think with his $ he would get some goddamn hair plugs or something…yeah he looks like a old lez in that pic
lmao@ #5 monkey hahahahaha

Anonymous March 20, 2008 at 9:08 pm

brendan benson looks like skeletor in a 70′s porn star wig and jack looks like joan collins

DilMilf March 20, 2008 at 9:36 pm

Surely it’s just the styling? Dig that Brendan has the white hat. Subtlety not exactly a strong suit.

Jess March 21, 2008 at 7:00 am

DOWNGRADE! The fact that his hair shows off his face is just a little too strange – his strange pale pout contrasting with a shock of black hair reminds me of Michael Jackson. Ugh.

Chao March 21, 2008 at 2:10 pm

Jack’s hair looks kind of looks like Edie Sedgwick, Factory girl style, without the frost, he need big earrings.

Gina March 21, 2008 at 4:23 pm

Jack looks like he’s saying, ‘Oh, hello…I didn’t see you there.’ That is the silliest facial expression. And he’s wearing too much makeup. Otherwise, I like it.

sometimes here March 27, 2008 at 4:10 am

I don’t think it’s that bad. It’s got symmetry and shape. He’s had badder hair days than this. Doesn’t remind me of anybody in particular except the hairstyles of some very stylish Jpop (japanese pop) artists though theirs could even be more stylish and girly looking. This one is alright.

juliette March 27, 2008 at 10:50 am

little roomers say it best…just look at jack “austin powers” white!

don’t worry, jack’s hair will grow and look stringy and wild again by the time you see him live…

ally March 28, 2008 at 2:57 pm

love the hair

Gorman Jackson July 10, 2008 at 12:28 am

Uh.. I had this haricut a few months ago,
now we look even more alike.
Essentially, he looks like a woman and I looked like a man.
Alright!
