Look fast: Hester's Mohawk won't last long

Devin Hester soon will no longer have hair flowing from the back of his helmet.

The Bears wide receiver sported a new look Sunday at Soldier Field for the season opener against the Detroit Lions. "Da Hess," as he calls it, is a braided Mohawk with some intricate designs. "Da Hess" is carved into the left side of his head.

The haircut took 90 minutes at Gurnee Mills mall for a couple professionals Hester regularly has handle his hair.

"It was my idea," Hester said. "I wanted to try something different before I cut it off. I am going to get rid of everything here pretty soon."

Hester has grown out his hair since his rookie season in 2006. Maybe if he has a big game Sunday at Dallas he'll keep the dreads a little longer before he goes back for what will surely be a shorter stay in the barber's chair.

"I'm gonna get it taken off here," he said.
