Patrick Dempsey Just Shaved Off His Signature Salt-And-Pepper Locks—And Fans Are Devastated

Some McDreamy fans are not too happy with his new look.

 The Grey's Anatomy alum traded his famous salt-and-pepper locks for a shorter 'do, courtesy of his own clippers.

Dempsey's wife Jillian posted a video of the event on Instagram.

She captioned the post:

"Change is good!"

"Have you ever buzzed your hair?"

"Watch @patrickdempsey use clippers to eliminate the dyed hair from a character role and start fresh!"

"P.S. My Roadie was standing by to help give it some edge for styling."

Many viewers were completely devastated.

Jillian revealed to People:

"Patrick recently dyed his hair platinum for a project [his upcoming film 'Ferrari'], and even though he colored his hair back, it wasn't the same natural 'salt-and-pepper' color that we all know and love."

Yes, yes we do.

She finished:

"In order to let his color grow back naturally, we needed to give him a fresh and short start."

So it seems that the iconic Dempsey 'do will make a comeback.

*Cue collective sigh of relief*
