Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp already has the beard covered. Now, he’s mixing it up with his hair.

With his long beard and typically unkempt hair, Kupp can like a caveman, though he has also been known to buzz his dome. However, during a pre-game interview ahead of Los Angeles’ wild-card game vs. Minnesota, Kupp revealed some new braids.

Here’s more about Kupp’s latest hairstyle and the social media reactions to it.

Cooper Kupp’s braids, explained

We don’t normally see Kupp’s hair, as it’s usually under a helmet. The wide receiver also tends to do media appearances with a hat on. Still, when we have seen Kupp’s hair, it has either been buzzed or long, with not much really in between.

When most people think of the Rams wide receiver, they likely think of his long hair covering his bearded face, like when he had straight longer hair earlier this season. So, when viewers saw the drastic change to braids, it was shocking for many.

We don’t know exactly why we decided to go with the braids ahead of the playoff game, but clearly, Kupp felt he needed a change. We wish him the best of luck with his bold choice.
