Simon Cowell's Hairstory: From Fuzzy to Buzzy

In a one-on-one interview with Fox & Friend's Brian Kilmeade, 'Idol' host Simon Cowell was taken on a fond ride back through his years of sit-down's with the morning show host. Good times. After the touching "The Way We Were" moment, Kilmeade teared up, as Cowell remarked that he looked better now than he did back in the day. But what about his famous hair? Take a look at the evolution (or lack thereof)of Cowell's spikey flat-top and decide for yourself.  (AP/Reuters)
