I saw a guy with a very funny hairstyle. He had all his head shaved except the trail of hair in the front of the head and he middle parted them

Please check my sentences.
 
I saw a guy with a very funny hairstyle.:tick: He had all his head shaved except [STRIKE]the hair in[/STRIKE] the front [STRIKE]of the head[/STRIKE]. He middle parted them.:cross:
If you say he had his head shaved, you don't have to mention hair — what else can you shave? You certainly don't have to mention his head again. We already know that's what you're talking about.

There is no verb to middle-part. If there were, it would need a hyphen, and you'd use the singular it to refer to his hair.
 
Hair is a collective noun, tufguy. Use it rather than them when discussing hair. The plural does exist but is only used when you are talking about individual hairs.
 
Most natural: It was parted in the middle.
 
My best guess: I saw a guy today whose head was shaved, except for a fringe with a middle parting.

A fringe (BrE) = bangs (AmE)
