If anything, I think Rob Liefield is responsible for the proliferation of the hairstyle, specifically in X-Force (and, of course, his own Image books), though plenty of other artists, Lee included, were doing the hairstyle (or, in the case of Logan and Hank I suppose, exaggerating it). Not really trying to prove or disprove anything, just a topic that led me on a bit of an info dive.

Other characters outside the X-Men also had it before Jim Lee came along. The Owl and Jackal come to mind.

I'm the one who associated the hairstyle with Jim Lee (and the various other X-Men artists at the time) since they just seemed to be everywhere in the X-books at that time. The super exaggerated way in which they were drawn didn't help matters either. It was like they couldn't figure out what do to give characters to confirm they were feral at the time.
