Prophet Muhammad's Hair Styles It is important to know that Prophet Muhammads hair style wasnt a general 'short back and sides', rather it changed, sometimes it was short, at other times it was longer, sometimes he had straightish hair, at other times he had slightly curly hair, and sometimes he even had locks of hair on the side. Anas said that the Prophets hair would reach till half of his ear. [Shamaa il Tirmidhi # 23] Aisha said that she and the Prophet bathed from the same bath tub, and some of his hairs were longer than the lobes of his ears (i.e. the bottom of the ear) but shorter than hair which reached the shoulder. [Shamaa il Tirmidhi # 24] Baraa said that the Prophets hair was till his ear lobes. [Shamaa il Tirmidhi # 25] Qatadah said, 'It was not very twisted, nor very straight. It had a slight twist and was a bit curled, and reached till his ear-lobes. [Shamaa il Tirmidhi # 26] Ummi Haani said that the Prophet came to Mecca after the migration to Medina, and he had 4 plaits in his hair. [Shamaa il Tirmidhi # 27] At different times the Prophet Muhammad, upon whom be peace, had different hair styles.
