Jason Momoa’s Signature Long Locks Are Gone; His New Look Is Unbelievable

Actor Jason Momoa’s hair has always been a point of envy. Known for his long, flowing locks, the Hawaiian star frequently dons his iconic hair both on and off screen. Many cherish his hair, not least his ex-wife, actress Lisa Bonet. Back in 2019, when they were still together, Momoa shared with Esquire, “I do not like haircuts, and my wife doesn’t like them. She said she’d divorce me if I cut my hair.” His long hair isn’t just a favorite among fans though; it’s become integral to some of his memorable roles, from Khal Drogo in “Game of Thrones” to Baba Voss in “See.”

Yet, even the most iconic looks can benefit from a refresh. Envisioning Momoa without his long hair might seem impossible, but our Static Media photo editors tackled that challenge. Through the magic of Photoshop, they transformed Momoa’s curly mane into a short, tousled style. The result? A surprisingly chic look, offering a stylish alternative should Momoa ever wish to switch things up.

Thanks to our photo editor’s Photoshop skills, we get a glimpse of an alternate version of Jason Momoa with shorter hair. His long locks contribute a rugged edge to his persona, whereas the shorter style imparts a more polished and versatile vibe. With this haircut, we could easily picture Momoa effortlessly switching between casual sweats and a sharp suit.

The specific hairstyle chosen by the photo editor aligns well with Momoa’s facial structure, balancing the rustic look provided by his beard. With shorter hair, his equally epic facial hair takes the spotlight. Although this could be a striking look for Momoa to consider in the future, it might not work for some of his iconic past roles. Aquaman, for example, wouldn’t have the same epic presence without those long locks. Momoa’s hairstyle and beard combo in the role was so popular that GQ even wrote an article advising fans on achieving the same look.

Celebrities often use their platforms to instigate positive change, and Jason Momoa aimed to do just that in 2022. To raise awareness about the excessive use of disposable plastic products, Momoa posted an Instagram video that likely shocked fans who love his long hair. In the video, he undergoes a dramatic haircut, buzzing off the sides and holding up two long braids to reveal the reality.

The bold change generated significant buzz, amassing over 900,000 likes and numerous positive comments. Included in the post’s caption was a call-to-action: “Be better at protecting our land and oceans. We need to cut single use plastics out of our lives and out of our seas.” This video underscores Momoa’s willingness to make dramatic changes to his hair, especially for a good cause. Perhaps our Photoshop experiment might become a real-life transformation someday.
