Mohamed Salah recently made headlines by revealing a bold new look on social media, opting for a clean shave and parting with his iconic curls just after the Premier League season concluded.
The sudden change led fans to wonder if the 31-year-old football star underwent a hair transplant, a procedure that typically necessitates shaving one’s head. The off-season break seemed an opportune moment for Salah to manage his hair situation. Recent images from the Egyptian national team’s practice sessions, where they’re gearing up for World Cup qualifiers, showcase Salah’s strikingly altered appearance.
This is a stark departure from earlier in the year when fans playfully likened his hair to “Krusty the Clown,” as the damp winter weather revealed some thinning areas.
Amid rumors about his receding hairline and discussions of male pattern baldness, it’s plausible that Salah might consider a hair transplant. Fan speculation has grown so intense that some have even examined the shape of his hairline for signs of surgery. After a brief vacation post-season, Salah’s return to the Pharaohs has been highlighted by a noticeably fuller and more robust hairline.
