This has never happened before, and here it is again – Style

The patterned braids of a Formula 1 racer, the colored hair of a mixed martial arts fighter, the bob haircut of a tennis player – Kommersant Style tells what hairstyles athletes prefer.

Gone are the days of Dennis Rodman’s crazy coloring and ubiquitous shaved patterns among football players: today, athletes are increasingly preferring the classics. Although there are those that continue to create trends, such as pink and long hair.

Sean O’Malley

Over the past few years, mixed martial arts fighter Sean O’Malley has been painted in all sorts of colors: red, green, lilac with blue and rainbow. Back in April, his platinum curls (naturally an athlete dark blond) were yellow, and today he walks with pink. Bright colors are part of his image. At all fights, O’Malley braids her hair into braids – a type of Afro-braids.

Lewis Hamilton

Formula 1 drivers tend to wear classic short haircuts, but Hamilton is an exception. Eight years ago, he wore a platinum blond, and for the past few years, he has been performing with his hair braided and gathered up. If you look closely, the braids are often located in such a way that they form patterns on the skin – squares, rays, zigzags.

Jude Bellingham

The English footballer, midfielder of the Spanish club Real Madrid, seems to be wearing a typical short haircut, but the line of a couple of centimeters of hair along the forehead and temples is shaved, so the hairstyle looks graphic and spectacular. Why not an idea for a classic?

Neftali Soto

Puerto Rican baseball player Neftali Soto started dyeing his hair blonde a few years ago. With dark skin and black eyebrows, this coloring looks contrasting and noticeable.

Erling Haaland

Few football players wear hair as long as Norway national team striker Erling Haaland. At matches, the athlete usually ties his naturally light blond hair into a bun or ponytail, but in ordinary life he often wears it loose – and it looks very impressive.

Gervonta Davis

The hairstyles of the American boxer Gervonta Davis, also known as Tank, are worthy of attention even on TikTok. Each of his appearances in the ring is complex pigtails, braided into patterns.

Antoine Griezmann

The striker and midfielder of the Atlético Madrid club walks with bright pink hair for six months. In an interview with various publications, he said that he had been dyeing his hair for a long time, but family members helped him choose such a radical color by voting for pink – due to the preponderance of the majority of girls.

Samuel Chukwueze

The Nigerian football player, winger of the Italian club AC Milan, wears rather long dreadlocks, the tips of which are discolored. Such an emphasis immediately makes the image unusual and more noticeable on the field.

Stefanos Tsitsipas

Long hair among tennis players is also not the most common trend. The Greek tennis player Stefanos Tsitsipas has naturally curly hair, and in this length to the shoulders, it is presented in all its glory. The question is, is it easy to play like this?

Alexander Golovin

The Russian football player and midfielder of the French club Monaco has been wearing a topical contrasting color with lightened ends for the last couple of years. With “flying bangs”, such blonding with regrown dark roots looks bright and interesting even on short hair.
