Mohawk and "V": discover haircuts that are popular at the World Cup

Far beyond shining with the ball at their feet, during the World Cup the Brazilian team's stars also enter the scene to set another trend: haircuts.

Every four years, the players' looks steal the show, become a national craze and mark the season. Whether it's the classic "nevou" or the "no ruler" gradient, the athletes' hair style is an important element in the country's football culture - mixing superstition, identity and a lot of personality.

For those who want to guarantee a hassle-free look, barber Rafa Cortes, ambassador of GA.MA Barber and name behind Neymar's looks, shares the secrets behind these successful cuts.

According to him, among the most requested is that of Vini Jr., which combines the mohawk with the nude style.

"The success of this style lies precisely in enhancing the natural texture of afro, frizzy and curly hair. It brings concentrated volume to the top and back of the head, while the sides have a gradient finish", explains Rafa.
