Triple H was introduced to WWE programming as a "Connecticut Blueblood", his snobbish aloofness capturing easy heat from blue collar crowds. His hair said it all: a neat, bright blonde ponytail tied up with a pretty bow. Even without the bow it was voluminous, sometimes braided, and always glossy in way that befitted his elevated status. Skip ahead to his time at the helm of D-Generation X and things have changed. He's a bit naughty now, a bit rebellious, moving on from a backwards Kangol hat to altogether more provocative styling. "You think you can tell us what to do?" asks the DX theme song, and the answer is written in Hunter's damp locks: "No, you can't. I stick it to the man by refusing to blow-dry." There were more developments in the years that followed. His rock-n-roll mutton chop beard was framed by a peculiarly straight, immaculately well-maintained, Rachel-from-Friends hairdo as if to illustrate the multiplicity of the Triple H character: former aristocrat, current alpha male, future corporate shill. It all came off, of course, ending up in a buzz cut befitting of a board member, but not before it had charted the man's journey through WWE's millennial glories.
