Vinicius Junior visited a barber shop owned by the brother of his Real Madrid teammate, Eduardo Camavinga. The Brazilian had his hair braided into dreadlocks, a departure from the more conservative hairstyles fans have come to associate with him.
Vinicius Junior is one of Real Madrid’s key players, and the team assembled for this season looks destined for success. Notable players such as Jude Bellingham and Luka Modrić were joined by Kylian Mbappe during the summer transfer window.
The Brazilian aims to shine among Madrid's galaxy of footballing talent. He recently stated that he seeks to win the Ballon d'Or as a Real Madrid player. Along with his ambitions on the pitch, Vinicius Junior will also stand out for his new appearance, having significantly changed his hairstyle.
Vinicius Junior opted to have his hair styled into dreadlocks. Previously, he was known for his short and simple haircuts. At 24 years old, he decided to make a bold change.
The Brazilian national team player visited a barber shop owned by Eduardo Camavinga’s brother. Sebastiano Camavinga frequently posts photos on social media of well-known footballers who have transformed their looks at "Camavinga Cuts."
Before Vinicius Junior, players like Rodrygo Goes, Antonio Rüdiger, and Jude Bellingham had also visited the salon. Vinicius Junior’s new dreadlocks resemble those of Eduardo Camavinga, who also chose a similar style in the past.
The Brazilian changed his hairstyle at the start of the new season. So far, Real Madrid has played two matches following the summer preparations. Vinicius Junior assisted in goals during both games, contributing to a 2-0 victory against Atalanta BC and a 1-1 draw with RCD Mallorca.
