I may get flamed for saying this, but someone needs to do something about Holden's hair. It just keeps getting worse. It looked ridiculous in the hotel room today-- like the lovechild of a mushroom and a live, wild animal.

It could be that his hairstyle matches his part in the storyline. His hair -- idiotic, his role in this story --- idiotic. Let's see if he gets a new style, or combing at least when the story is over.

  • Too funny. I didn't really pay attention to Holden's hair b/c I just find Holden to be blah, but after reading this board, I looked closely and his hairstyle is kind of odd. The hairstylists on this show really do a disservice to alot of the actors.

    I'm thinking the bangs are an effort to cover up a receding hairline. And the spikes are an effort to make the do more modern. He looked not too bad on Thursday, but on Friday he took on aspects of the Scarecrow in Wizard of Oz.

    I have felt for a long time that Holder's hair looks awful, it distracts me from the storyline. No-one his age would have sideburns like that, its about time they let him show his age.

    It looks kinda like when you're in High School Science, and you touch that globe of electricity that makes your hair stand up funny the rest of the day. It's a strange style.

  • Yeah, some guys can do the ''messy'' look, but it takes a certain texture of hair. JH's is too fine and soft. eom MaryHatch
  • Exactly and when the *messy* look is moussed, it becomes *punked*, which went out a while ago .**

    Thank you MH. I'm glad you posted about this because I didn't want to, but felt it needed to be addressed, lol! Holden's hair is a complete mess! I couldn't take my eyes off of it today and not in a good way. I think JH may have a cowlick or something going on, but there is no reason for this messy, disheveled and just UGLY hair he has going on. It is EVERYWHERE! Going in all and every direction and just looks plain awful.

  • Roxie, I really think they need to let it grow longer on the top and sides. I realize that JH is no longer 20 years old, and this isn't the Eighties, but it's TOO short now. No man should have baby bangs. eom MaryHatch
  • 'baby bangs'..HAHAHA! Roxie

    Ever since they've started doing that "casual messed up" look on him, it's looked ridiculous. That's not the haircut that works with it, and it doesn't make sense for the character. Why they continue to insist on doing it is beyond me.

  • I think they're going for *cool*, but they're definitely missing it !! **

    Normally I never post anything negative about an actor's appearance, but Holden's hair has been driving me insane for weeks...months...lose the bowl cut! It's hideous! JH is very handsome - this cut is horrid.

    Maybe he didn't get chance to see a barber since his captivity? Really I noticed it needed some work as well. The previews look good for him and Lily next week.

    I have to agree, JH is a handsome guy but for some reason they insist on doing his hair in a ridiculous style. I don't know if they are trying to keep him young and fresh, or if that hair style could ever be considered young and fresh, but they are missing the boat. I am thinking that the same people that style Casey's hair are styling his because those two guys have the worst styles on the show.
