If you haven't seen the giant mop on Kevin's head, well, you're lucky. Kevin has been growing his hair out for months now in support of BlackBerry 10 (maybe you've been following along on Twitter). He swore he wouldn't cut it until BlackBerry 10 is in his hands and he's stuck to it. As it inches its way to unmanagable, I've found an app that just might make things better for all of us. HairTips is a simple app that does just what it says - gives you tips on how to style your hair. Since he's bounced between random hair ties, clips and just letting it fly, I figured this one may come in handy since we'll all have to look at it for another two months.
HairTips gives stlying advice for all types of hair and even fills you in on hair growth and loss. The app features tips for growing hair faster, styling all types of hair, tips for getting "magazine cover hair" and much more. While it's not for everyone, I really hope that Kevin picks it up so that he doesn't look much creepier over the next few weeks. BlackBerry 10 will be here soon - fear not. Heck, I may just gift it to him and save us all.

lol oh boy kevin... get the app and get that hair cut soon! lol
BTW... FIRST... Bwahhaha (look how stupid it is to see someone say first...)
T_C Nov 16, 2012 at 10:45 am
Come on!! The last thing we needed right now is another person jumping on that "First" comment ship!!
Anyways, Kevin you must post on Crackberry the video of you shaving your head, and take the video using your BB10 phone!
(Not my idea, I give credit to Bold_until_Hybrid_Comes as he posted it on another article!)
QuIcKsIlV3r Nov 16, 2012 at 10:47 am
lol i'm just doing it once... to make a point lol
But I agree... I like the idea of Kevin doing a vid of his haircut
EchuOkan1 Nov 16, 2012 at 11:54 am
That sounds like a great idea, Kevin. =0)
Also, I commend you for keeping your word on the hair. That says a lot about your character. Too bad you and ham sandwitch did not win the election although Mr. T is doing an great Job with BB10 and the compamy overall. Keep up the good work Kevin!
maddie8211 Nov 16, 2012 at 10:45 am
Don't cut the hair Kevin. Long hair is in and it looks good on you.
Tariq.H Nov 16, 2012 at 10:50 am

Graheem Nov 16, 2012 at 1:58 pm
Yup, you are rockin' the long hair, facial hair, and those aviators. Think you better keep it all, and the BB10!

Rootbrian Nov 16, 2012 at 10:52 am
I haven't cut mine since september. I like it long for the winter. Short for the summer. Heck, even the band mates love it.
Kingkracker Nov 16, 2012 at 10:52 am
I'm liking the hair and scruff. You are looking mighty FINE Kevin!

bonercotton Nov 16, 2012 at 10:53 am
He's looking a lot like Kid Rock! Awesome!
MadGasser Nov 16, 2012 at 11:06 am
Kevin, I had my hair just as long or longer than yours a few years ago. I really like long hair and the look of it, but managing it can be a pain in the a$$. Keep the hair, brother, it looks awesome and why not? It's not like you have to conform to some office dress code.
F2 Nov 16, 2012 at 11:20 am
I believe to encourage more growth he needs to eat a RED ONION this time. Oh, and please peel it first and cut off the root end, too.
jenks5150 Nov 16, 2012 at 11:29 am
Not until BB10 is for sale!!!! Enormous respect for the dedication.
Not to mention BlackBerry 10 is all about the 'flow'.
And Kevin's flow is getting unreal.
EsJayDee Nov 16, 2012 at 11:29 am
Kevin, I don't see what the big deal is with the hair. I actually like it better.
UrbanGlowCam Nov 16, 2012 at 11:30 am

Dont have any hair advice but i hope you dont drive a cube van. Might get pulled over if your near a school.
nunofbento Nov 16, 2012 at 11:52 am
Dont cut your hair, you look like a badass
bbc037 Nov 16, 2012 at 11:52 am
Kevin, I say you keep the do. New look along with the new phone equals you looking like a total BAD-A$$!! In with the new, out with the old, Kev!!
mud314 Nov 16, 2012 at 12:05 pm
Keep the hair man.
cjcampbell Nov 16, 2012 at 12:40 pm
Like others have said, keep the hair. It totally suits you!!

vbittersweet Nov 16, 2012 at 12:53 pm
Kevin, I say keep the hair, with maybe just a trim after BB10 debuts to give it some shape/style. You wear it well and I definitely like the 'Now' pic better.
axllebeer Nov 16, 2012 at 12:56 pm
* BlackBerry by choice *
The hair is getting to the point that I think it's kinda cool lol. Though fine short, and I'm sure that Kevin will cut it before the wedding more than likely, he pulls it off nicely. Kudos to you CBK for hanging in there this long. That in between stage is hell when it's too long or too short to manage. You made it thought that part so now onto BB10!
EGerhardt Nov 16, 2012 at 1:02 pm
Kevin looks great with the new hair. Never change man!
mjgallaway Nov 16, 2012 at 1:03 pm

s2by10 Nov 16, 2012 at 1:19 pm
Kev, I'm digging the flow. You gotta keep it!
pick1eberry Nov 16, 2012 at 1:23 pm
I'm skeptical. I think he's run his hair through a FLOWBEE at least once or twice. :)
iguinu Nov 16, 2012 at 1:58 pm
kevin dude, you technically have a bb10 ph in your hand, you've had it for almost a year, is the dev alpha bb not a bb10 prototype. in anycase cut yo damn hair you hippie

blototherobot Nov 16, 2012 at 2:46 pm
Man Kevin look like a Colombian drug dealer... how much for a Kilo from El Padrino...
zegra Nov 16, 2012 at 2:52 pm
HA, The whole lot of you have been punked by Adam.
For those of you who have forgotten, Kevin is a fully engagued male with wedding bells on his horizon. So that means no matter how much HE denies it or has pulled this hair stunt off until now. There is only one person that has any real say on Kevin's hair, Miss Crackberry!!!!!!!! For reasons known only to her, SHE has permitted Kevin to grow his hair out. However as soon as either the wedding gets close or Miss Crackberry tires of Kev's flowing locks, Kevin's hair will be trimmed. Up until now Kevin has been fortunate that BB10's announcement date has steadily remained in Q1 2013. But if any unspeakable delay happens, kiss Kevin's hair adios.
Finally as to Adam, great job posting this one while Kevin is either on some trans-oceananic flight and unable to respond or else ALL of Kevin's devices have failed at the same time.

thatplaybookguy Nov 16, 2012 at 3:30 pm
now that I know it looks cool, I too will grow my hair out. We have similar hairlines.
bengalt9 Nov 16, 2012 at 3:51 pm
Now this is what I call Blackhairy Kevin!!!! LOL
Stychill Nov 16, 2012 at 4:03 pm
he looks cooler now, like he should have a part on sons of anarchy
gidiano Nov 16, 2012 at 4:30 pm
The "now" look looks somewhat better than the "then" look. Just my 2 cents.
Jaredius Nov 16, 2012 at 4:32 pm
Kev done went Hollywood on us. You look a bit like Mitch Hedberg in the after pic.
Hello-Blackberry Nov 16, 2012 at 4:52 pm
Substitute the glasses for an eyepatch and he's Snake Pliskin!!
NightSprinter Nov 16, 2012 at 5:56 pm
Oh hell, he's turning into Zaphod!!!!! (I'm sure a lot of folks here will know what character I refer to.)
UberschallSamsara Nov 16, 2012 at 6:19 pm
Then: Lookin' like a goob ... no offense. ;)
Now: Lookin' like a frikkin' rock star.
Just sayin'.
Oh ... also. Growing your hair out takes time. Don't just go straight back to
the old look without trying some experiments in between.
Motorhead777 Nov 16, 2012 at 7:32 pm
All he needs is some Kilo's

No homo here ..... but you look better with the long hair.
reminds me of Brad Pitt in Troy.
Keep it growin!
Balti43 Nov 17, 2012 at 2:06 am
i agree, you look like no offense but like a pansy with short hair, with long hair its like "Don't fu/k with that dude he looks like he can round house your ass."
ALToronto Nov 16, 2012 at 8:22 pm
The hair looks good, Kevin. As for the scruff - I'm just glad I don't have to kiss you.
MaxPayne79 Nov 16, 2012 at 9:00 pm
kevin's a total cowboy. dayum. lookin good though. i mean, like, manly-good not, like pretty or anything. anyway, BB10!!!!!
Balti43 Nov 17, 2012 at 2:05 am

Lol....funny posts, but I think I, too, align with the consensus....you look WAAAAYYY better than that nerd in the "before" pic....and that's saying a lot coming from a science teacher who says, "nerds rule!".....BB10!
Tariq.H Nov 17, 2012 at 10:12 am
LOL more ppl want to see you keep the long hair kevin... the ppl have spoken haha
MeetJoeAsian Nov 17, 2012 at 11:20 am
Is that an old photo of Dave Mustaine?
lyonroad2 Nov 17, 2012 at 2:52 pm
Woman's point of view, if I weren't already attached that would definately be a face I'd want to kiss, beard and all! I think the short haired version looks like a educational scientist engineer type of a look in a strict white color type job. The long hair version looks more like a movie star, rebel, sexy modern look, in my opinion, which is worth nothing except to me. When it's hair cut time, please just get a trim to tidy things up and come up with something manageable. Thanks for your posts Kevin, We love you !
Chaplain_Clancy Nov 17, 2012 at 3:08 pm
The best style for hair that long is a leather jacket and Harley Davidson. I wonder what the odds are that Kevin will keep the look after BB10 drops?
michaelfoti Nov 17, 2012 at 4:23 pm
Didn't read all the comments, but technically, because he has a Dev device, he already has BB 10.....Kevin go cut your hair without any guilt!
soberone Nov 18, 2012 at 5:11 am
