Earth-Shattering News: Jack White Gets a New Haircut

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…

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??!?!?!

    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.

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

  12. 12. Satan | 1:21 am on March 20th, 2008

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

  13. 13. fo | 1:30 am on March 20th, 2008

    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!

  16. 16. laura | 11:03 am on March 20th, 2008

    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.

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

  19. 19. CAgirl | 3:32 pm on March 20th, 2008

    Joan Jett-that’s hilarious!

  20. 20. bustoff | 6:17 pm on March 20th, 2008

    That haircut demands a high collar or scarf.

  21. 21. Anonymous | 9:05 pm on March 20th, 2008

    he looks like a douche

  22. 22. Anonymous | 9:07 pm on March 20th, 2008

    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

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

  24. 24. DilMilf | 9:36 pm on March 20th, 2008

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

  25. 25. Jess | 7:00 am on March 21st, 2008

    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.

  26. 26. Chao | 2:10 pm on March 21st, 2008

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

  27. 27. Gina | 4:23 pm on March 21st, 2008

    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.

  28. 28. sometimes here | 4:10 am on March 27th, 2008

    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.

    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…

  30. 30. ally | 2:57 pm on March 28th, 2008

    love the hair

  31. 31. Gorman Jackson | 12:28 am on July 10th, 2008

    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!
