If you live in New England, or follow the Patriots, it may come as no surprise that Tom Brady’s hair has been a major source of discussion in recent years. From a buzz cut to longer locks to a sleeker style, the quarterback’s ever-changing hairstyles are proving his most memorable fashion accessory. Waving to fans during pre-game warm up before at Reliant Stadium on Nov. 29, Brady sported a short, “almost faux-hawk’’ cut. Now, we look back at Brady’s hair transformation through the years.

Here he is sporting during the first half of a game against the Houston Texans on Dec. 1.

Though it’s a long way from the sleekly sculpted look he sported at the Met Ball, Brady embraced his hat hair at the Tom Brady Football Challenge & Guy Fieri Celebrity Chef Tailgate Party for Best Buddies International at Harvard Stadium on June 1, 2012.

Brady and Best Buddies International President Anthony Shriver joked around at the Guy Fieri Celebrity Chef Tailgate Party Kick-Off Festivities For The Best Buddies Challenge.

Here, Brady’s hair is a bit more aerodynamic, which seems fitting for the fast pace of the Kentucky Derby, where he was with Wes Welker at Churchill Downs in Louisville on May 5, 2012.

In 2011, the QB finally chopped off his hair after months of sporting longer locks that kept onlookers talking about more than, well, his moves on the field. Here he is back to his shorter hair during practice at Gillette Stadium on Sept. 28, 2012.

A ball cap-wearing Brady showed up at a press conference on Sept. 28, 2011, barely concealing the fact that the QB had finally chopped off his flowing locks.

When the New England Patriots took on the Detroit Lions for the Thanksgiving Day game on Nov. 25, 2010, we were able to catch a glimpse of just how long Brady’s mane had become. (Back in 2010, WEEI radio host John Dennis razzed the QB about his long locks.)
