All hail Bryce Harper and his hair-flipping home-run celebration

Bryce Harper had himself a day Wednesday afternoon against the Miami Marlins. So did his hair.

Harper hit three homers in his first three at-bats, each more impressive than the previous one. He finished the day 3-for-4 with five RBIs after a seventh-inning groundout that ended his quest for the ever-elusive four-homer game.

Harper's hair is shorter now, so it wasn't flipping as well Wednesday as it has other times this season, but still. Here are some GIFs from Reddit user CantDoBackflips:

Put it all together and what do you get? This grand Willow Smith-inspired culmination:
