On August 23, the footballer posted a YouTube video documenting his haircut and the reactions from his friends and fellow footballers after seeing his new hairstyle. Footballer Erling Haaland has gotten rid of his iconic blonde locks.
The footballer is known for his long, blonde hair, which he often lets loose or ties in a ponytail or a man bun. He shared a YouTube vlog showing the haircut. “This beautiful blonde hair… time to let it go. I was thinking about doing it straight after the World Cup, but I was so busy, so I didn’t do it.
In the video, Haaland explained that he had planned to cut his hair right after the 2026 World Cup, but became too busy with work.
The season starts now, so it’s time to get a fresh start,” he says in the clip. However, on Sunday, ahead of the new season, he decided to let them go.
Erling Haaland is Manchester City’s Norwegian striker. He emerged from the 2026 World Cup as one of the tournament’s biggest social media stars after helping Norway reach the quarter-finals.
The 26-year-old scored seven goals during Norway’s run and gained more than 32 million Instagram followers during the 39-day tournament, the biggest growth of any player involved.
