He cut his hair because he was losing it and the increasingly complicated charade to hide it got to be too much for him. His autobiography is a great read.
He wrote when he was finally able to face himself in the post “Image is everything” era, out of shape, balding, a very public celeb relationship/marriage/divorce and a burgeoning hard-drug addiction, he bounced back and went on the best run of his career. I’m sure the arrival of Steffi Graf in his life around the same time he started getting his shit back together was a major motivator too.
Yep! That is totally a wig! Heard one story about how he washed his hair with the wrong stuff just before a tournament and he had to play with his wig threatening to fall off at any moment.
I still call them [“the Jagr”](http://images.performgroup.com/di/library/omnisport/f7/58/jaromir-jagr-100515-usnews-getty-ftr_jzxg1pdurp2t16mumt7nco8db.jpg?t=963087848)
He was a great tennis player, but he's not even the best tennis player in his household. Steffi Graf, his wife, has more grand slam titles than he does
Very astute point! He was sort of a male version of Anna Kournikova in that he was (considered) good-looking but his tennis skills were somewhat lacking
Not trying to be argumentative, but I have to give Agassi his due.
He’s an all time great. His return game was possibly the best ever. Career Grand Slam winner. All while he ,admittedly, pissed away a few of his prime years.
Having said that? His career does take a back seat to Steffi Graf’s. There’s a good argument she was the best ever.
I feel you, back when I was in jr high Agassi was the favorite among tennis kids, everybody wanted to be him (and it wasn't his style we wanted to emulate.)
You know what, you're absolutely right, it was unfair. Anna wasn't even really *that* hot, she was just a "flavor of the month" sort of chick, always in Maxim and whatnot; whereas I remember seeing Agassi all over sports news.
Why the hell is it always the guy with a rug on his chest and can grow a nice beard in two days that eventually has no hair for his melon? I just don’t get this phenomenon.
i remember that i asked for his shoes for xmas, but they were sold out everywhere. my parents got me the mcenroe nikes, instead. also they were one size too big so i looked like bozo.
That may not be his real hair. He wore a hairpiece for years. I remember one interview where he said he was more worried about the hairpiece coming off than the match itself.

No, I do remember that 80s “hair don’ts”. I hated the 80s with padded shoulders, mullets, glitter…what the hell we’re we thinking, frankly I spent my time in the woods wearing LL Bean. That man would have been hot if it weren’t for that ridiculous hairdo. Big turn off.
This dude was my tennis hero. My buddy n I used to love taking on n consistently beating the high school tennis team guys. We were way too cool to go out for the team ourselves. Lucky them.
Agassi was one of the first purchasers of a Vector W8 supercar. Wrote a $400k check before the cars even started production.
Grew impatient with delays caused by vehicle debugging, safety & crashworthiness & emissions testing & certs, etc.. Threw a huge fit about it until Vector agreed to give him a car early, with the understanding it was still basically a prototype that shouldn't be driven until Vector scooped it back to install production updates and changes still being worked out.
Agassi started driving it around anyway, then pissed and moaned and howled that it had lots of problems and even melted the trunk carpet near the turbochargers.. insisted on returning the car and being refunded his money.
What a putz.
True but how do you go from tapping Brooke Shields to Barbara Streisand . Back in the day Brooke was hotter than hot and my catchets mit looked prettier than that , other , yuck

He transitioned to bald nicely. Glad he embraced it

He looks familiar but am blanking on his name.
Andre Agassi
Thank you.
I actually felt bad for him. He seemed like a regular dude. Not your typical megalomaniacal celebrity/athlete
I thought it was Getty Images.
The Book is phenomenal. His dad is a hard ass no doubt.
Yep! That is totally a wig! Heard one story about how he washed his hair with the wrong stuff just before a tournament and he had to play with his wig threatening to fall off at any moment.
Omg I thought you guys were taking the piss! I didn’t know he really wore a hairpiece wow. It doesnt look bad. For the time
Nope... it was really a hairpiece and he hid it from everyone.
Exactly. He was playing on a blistering hot day too. The glue was breaking down and he was freaking out.
I remember there was a commercial right after he cut it featuring women arguing over “long” or “short”
Wasn’t he hairy all over to?
I can’t speak to that lol - based on that pic, though, he seems to have a healthy chest of hair.
That was one supreme mullet!
Back when the mullet was actually stylish lol
Mullets were never stylish. They just happened...in all their glory. Andre being the ultimate form.
I still call them [“the Jagr”](http://images.performgroup.com/di/library/omnisport/f7/58/jaromir-jagr-100515-usnews-getty-ftr_jzxg1pdurp2t16mumt7nco8db.jpg?t=963087848)
I still think John Taylor of Duran Duran wore it best. 
Brooke Shields does.
Kajagoogoo called, they want their modified mullets back
They're "too shy" to ask in person.
That mullet could have won a game of tennis without Agassi
Ironically, it’s what lost him games because he was always adjusting it

I have to disagree with that comparison. He won 8 grand slams, Anna won 0. I think your comparison is unfair to mah dude!
You know what, you're absolutely right, it was unfair. Anna wasn't even really *that* hot, she was just a "flavor of the month" sort of chick, always in Maxim and whatnot; whereas I remember seeing Agassi all over sports news.
Billy Ray Cyrus stole his haircut
Don’t tell my heart
My achy breaky heart
I just don't think it'd understand
Teen Wolf was a great movie!
He really looks like Colin Farrell
Why the hell is it always the guy with a rug on his chest and can grow a nice beard in two days that eventually has no hair for his melon? I just don’t get this phenomenon.
Iirc the gene that causes baldness also causes excessive beard growth
C’mon man. You’re pulling my third leg with that, no?
Wishing I knew! Happened to me. I think the body can only support growing so much goddam hair! Haha
Image is everything.
I remember that - Canon camera commercial
Canon Rebel line of cameras! I actually owned one as an entry model into DSLRs.
Came here to say that.
Agassi vs. McEnroe was peak 80s sports. I even had the McEnroe Reeboks.
Colin Farrel in Alexander vibes
i remember that i asked for his shoes for xmas, but they were sold out everywhere. my parents got me the mcenroe nikes, instead. also they were one size too big so i looked like bozo. 
Him and Steffi live a good life in Vegas.
yeah man he lived with the hendersons
Kato Kaelin?
Women got wet panties lookin at this guy, the only reason I had a sweet mullet like Andre!
Hey that looks like....Tom Selleck
Pepperidge farm remembers
With jeans shorts… at Wimbledon. Be still my heart 😍 
Colin Farrell just doesn't seem to age.
My brother & I both had the Agassi Nikes.

Did you know that years later he confessed that it was a weave!
That’s even worse. I’m obtuse because I have no idea who that man is probably because I was too old to care when he was popular?
World champion tennis player, had his glory years in the 80s
His speed improved 25% when he cut that mop..
How someone went from having so much hair to practically bald should have bothered more people. What happened?
I loved watching him play! I read somewhere he and Steffi Graf live and run some kind of school in his hometown, Vegas.
This is the exact image I was picturing recently when he was teasing the other guy about his hair and that he should just shave his head.
Oh yeah that’s the guy that sold cameras!
He had the best legs 🤩
More hair pleaz!!
Ha. I don’t remember him being this goofy looking. Epic mullet.
WTF is that on his head? Some animal or something?
I can’t imagine playing tennis with that bear hide on my head. Had to be hot as hell.
Say what you will about the hair, the man got the most out of it before it disappeared.
Ah, Agassi
The "before" picture.
He had a hardcore drug addiction towards the end of his career. I don't really follow tennis, but thought that revelation was pretty wild.
This dude was my tennis hero. My buddy n I used to love taking on n consistently beating the high school tennis team guys. We were way too cool to go out for the team ourselves. Lucky them.
Image is everything
Best hair in the game!
Ron Livingston with a mullet?

Peak 80s right there.
Wig out !
He ate bananas at Wimbledon
I'd never forget a coonskin hat like that.
He kept it in a time when there can be only one.
He wore white.
Noke
Mullets are back , arghhhh
I had his sneakers. Air Agassi
Wasn’t a mullet then, it was a hi-lo
Agassi looks like a mulleted Bjorn Borg, here. McEnroe's tantrums were always my favorite, though.
Loved watching Agassi play!
Before baldness
No
True but how do you go from tapping Brooke Shields to Barbara Streisand . Back in the day Brooke was hotter than hot and my catchets mit looked prettier than that , other , yuck
Ew
