It\u2019s hard to imagine a world where the Mayor of Flavortown isn\u2019t rocking his spiky platinum crown\u2014until today. It turns out he wasn\u2019t born with it, and we have the receipts.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"3\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">The @historians Instagram dug up an old pic of Fieri pre-bleach, and I, for one, could barely recognize him.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"4\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">&#8220;Before the bleached hair, flame shirts, and <em data-node-id=\"4.1\">Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives<\/em>, Guy Fieri was just a young [Ohioan] with his sister, Morgan. This rare 1990s photo captures them in their youth, long before he became one of the most recognizable faces in American food television,&#8221; the caption reads. <\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"watch-next\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-13\" data-node-id=\"5\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<section data-embed=\"instagram\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-14\" data-node-id=\"6\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">In the photo, a baby-faced Fieri and his late sister\u2014who tragically passed away in 2011 after a battle with melanoma\u2014are relaxing on a couch. I wasn&#8217;t the only one shocked over the throwback, either. Fans went off in the comments: <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"8\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">&#8220;why did i think this was Colin farrell and Moly Ringwald lol \ud83e\udd23,&#8221; one user wrote. &#8220;Looks like Russel crowe,&#8221; another said. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"9\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">&#8220;Pre-Donkey Sauce hair bleach\u2026&#8221; a third person added. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"10\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Fans also couldn&#8217;t get over the remarkable sibling resemblance. &#8220;That\u2019s Gal Fieri,&#8221; someone joked. &#8220;Guy and Gurl fieri,&#8221; another chimed in.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"11\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">So how did his signature frosted tips happen? &#8220;A friend of mine is a hairdresser, and I had long hair and she would give me a hard time forever about it,&#8221; he told the <em data-node-id=\"11.1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/guy-fieri-interview-frosted-tips-mayor-bbde017b?\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/guy-fieri-interview-frosted-tips-mayor-bbde017b?\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"Wall Street Journal\" data-node-id=\"11.1.0\" class=\"body-link css-1i7jlb0 emevuu60\">Wall Street Journal<\/a><\/em>. \u201cAnd one day I said, \u2018Fine, do whatever you want.\u2019 She goes, \u2018<em data-node-id=\"11.3\">Whatever <\/em>I want?&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"12\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">When she spun him around in the chair to reveal his now-famous look, he wasn&#8217;t quite sold\u2014but she was. &#8220;She\u2019s like, \u2018No, that\u2019s your hairstyle,'&#8221; It definitely took some getting used to; he walked out with a ball cap on and says it took years to fully embrace the &#8216;do.  <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"13\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">His wife had her own thoughts. &#8220;When I first met him, he had no goatee.
