It was time for a change for Patrick Mahomes.

Back in February, after years of sporting his signature curly Mohawk, Mahomes changed it up by shortening the top a ton, going with a simple cropped style with a fade on the side.

Mahomes' barber, DeJuan Bonds, said he thought "frustration" kicked in, but Mahomes said he had actually kept the look more so because of superstition.

"I’ve wanted to do it for a while, but it was kind of one of those superstitions. I kept winning the Super Bowl, which is a good thing, but I didn’t want to cut the hair while I was doing it," Mahomes told the media on Thursday.

But, whether they won another Lombardi Trophy or not, it was time to change it up no matter what.

"I told everybody during the season that win or lose, if we win three in a row or if we lose, I’m getting a haircut like that’s enough. I’m very excited. I’ve looked at some videos from last year and I can’t believe all you guys let me keep that nappy hair for so long, like I look way better now with the short hair, so I’ll be keeping this going forward."
