Nicolas Cage's bad hair days

Hair today...gone tomorrow

There it goes again. Nicolas Cage’s hairline.

Like the rise and fall of the ocean tide or the wax and wane of the moon, Cage’s hairline is a Hollywood indicator of the passage of time. Entire years can be gauged by it: 1987 was a sideburn phase, 1996 was the year of mangy mane and the release of “Bangkok Dangerous” signals 2008 as the beginning of hairplug era.

We invite you on a brief history of Cage’s increasingly horrifying hair-don’ts, assisted by the artistry of 19th century Japanese poetic form haiku. —Drew Tewksbury, Special to Metromix
