Hairmates

Trends tend to travel in tens. Ten years ago guitars were in. Now they're back. Ten years ago there was a Czhechoslovakia. Now there's not. You get the point. So it's only appropriate that ten years after Dr. Ross on ER served as the paragon of men's hairstyles a new Must See Doc has returned to fill the void. A resurrected trend himself, John Stamos is back and leads the charge in our gauge of who image-obsessed dudes are looking to for a hairmate.

I found out six weeks ago at my last haircut that the quickest way to alienate a non-english speaking "hair stylist" is to ask for the John Stamos. Hopefully his recurring role on ER as Parminder's paramour and upcoming made-for-TV movie will reintroduce his scruffy side-part into the popular pantheon of men's hair styles among Clooney, Caesar and...well...Clooney.



Then there's Josh Cooke, currently of ABC's "Big Day" and formerly of NBC's "Three Kings." Yeah, he seems to be suffering from some sort of Thomas Cavanagh complex with his over-eager affability but if Wendy Malick's falling for him his tressesessssss gotta be right.

Then of course there's the bottomless well of popular imagery for cool. No, not Saturday Night Live (sorry, Samberg) but the weekly cycle of Bud Light commercials. Popular Hairmate of the most recent series "I'm Just Here for the Bud Light" is the inimitable Todd Schischler. Okay, maybe it's not popular and maybe he's not inimitable but whatever. Ten years ago that shit would have been cool.
