Kai needs to lose the hair! (serious)

[BetaThanU]

He's like the Patrick Swayze of bodybuilding.



But yeah, I think it'd be awesome as hell if Kai shaved his head during prep for the next Oympia. It's not his past that's holding him back from winning, it's the weight of his hair.

He'd lose some gains

[transformerchad]

How much more hair we talking OP

[I_hate_Training]

Ok...I agree even though it fits him.

What has been said about it covering body parts at times is true. But that isnt why I say cut it. The reason is...

Kai says in one of the 4 part vids "A Day in the Life" that it isnt all his hair! 1 more time, when asked about his hair he says:

"Most of it is mine... But what isnt I have receipts for."

Now if it isnt even all his and it gets in the way...then yes cut it. Im just wondering how much of it "isnt" his. If the weave was out would it be short enough to see his back? Kinda how Arnolds was but a bit longer? If so, dont cut it...just take that weave out!

[TTimmerman]

ok, since everyone keeps bitching it's "in the way"


he ALWAYS has his hair UP during comparisons/mandatories

he ONLY lets it down during his posing routine/posedown

[GBLynden]

I agree completely OP. It makes him look like a douchebag when he really isn't.

[rippedaspirer]

wait, think im in the wrong place, Is this the BODYbuilding forums, or the Hairdresser's forums?

This. Now the hair next what? he should get a nose job done? As Flang pointed out he let his hair down in the posing routine and cleared it out of the way during the judging rounds.

[yas360]

He explains why he has his hair like that in the NZ seminar. So he stands out from everyone else when doing back poses etc

[Problematique91]

Not a fan or hater of his hair, but it's unique so it suits Kai well imo.

The whole damned thing.
Image is everything; especially at the O.
He is doing himself no favors here.

So its not even his hair!
WTF?!
And LOL at all the guys supporting his hairdo!
He may as well be wearing a wig!

You are clearly missing the point.
He is handicapping himself with the hair.
Its certainly NOT helping.
His hair creates a negative edge.
Like it or not, in the O, that matters.

HERP!

There we have it.
His MUSCLES need to stand out.
Not his hair.
He is using this hair as a prop.
That is BS!
That is NOT an Olympia winner.

Not a fan or hater of his hair, but it's unique so it suits Kai well imo.

Then 2nd place at the O should suit him well also.

[DarrylKensley]

You kidding?!

We NEED more crazy warrior hair and beards in this sport. That ****, way back when was the kind of thing that let everyone know WHO was the man!

In all seriousness, he should just put it up, that way it doesnt get in the way of his back.

[jf1]

Regarding the Olympia, the man has an image problem.
He cant change his past, but he can control his present and future.
Its pretty simple.

[Alito2013]

Indeed! He needs to polish his looks in this level of profesionalism.

You are missing the point. Routines are not judged so his hair or any other prop he uses (ronnie dressed as king or moses) is irrelevant.

Like it or not, unless it is in the way while doing mandatories, it doesn't matter.

Using the ronnie example, it can be a Olympia winner.

And in a perfect, objective world, it shouldnt matter.

Would you go before a criminal court judge with snakes on your head, or would you get a haircut?
Its the same thing.

I thought you were saying he has an advantage by doing so (getting attention). Being a pro bodybuilder is weird by definition, doubt they would penalize a bodybuilder for a weird hair style, if it doesn't interfere with the judging process.

[TTimmerman]

weird or not, everyone in the IFBB is 100% used to his hairstyle by now... doesn't even stand anymore imo

I think that the Mr Olympia contest is different, and should be different, in this regard.

[Unbiasedfan]

I actually think it adds to the artistic part of the routine.

[jf1]

Except the judges.
The ones that count.

You seem to be missing my point: his hairstyle is not advantageous to him.
Therefore it is detrimental.
Its pretty simple.

It gives him an edge...in the wrong direction.

Weird logic mate. Its neutral, irrelevant.

you forget to add "imo"

cause that's all it is... your opinion

[mrsnruB1111]

Weird hair creates a perception that kai is weird, which in turn strengthens the connection between the 'weird' stuff he's done in the past

[Unbiasedfan]

for sure.

[Aguakate]

I actually like his hair.

OP is probably jealous he can't grow his hair that long.

[RoroCwalker]

I like it because it gives him that ''out of a comic book'' look, very nice and helps with the transitions between poses.

He looks like Goro in MK (Mortal Kombat).


Also, an example ;

[stealth_swimmer]

Lol @ ppl who actually think his hair actually detracts from his physique or hurts the way he's judged.

BTW, here is supporting evidence - none of the IFBB officials or bodybuilders interviewed on PBW or MD/RXmuscle discussions have said that Kai's hair takes away from his look. They have ALL said that he needs to stop playing the mass game and focus on his conditioning.

[jf1]

Absolutely agree.

for sure.

By agreeing with mrsnruB1111 you just completely contradicted yourself.

None of the IFBB officials or bodybuilders interviewed on PBW or MD/RXmuscle discussions have said that the grapefruit incident effects their judgement either...
But it does.
It has to.

He cant erase his past...but he can cut his hair.
