“I will try to keep it for some time” – MS Dhoni on his vintage long-hair style
MS Dhoni is currently seen with long hair, greatly admired by his devoted followers. He had a similar hairstyle in his early international cricket days, including the 2007 T20 World Cup.
During a recent Skipper Pipes event, MS Dhoni discussed the reason behind his hairstyle and saying that it was for his fans. He said:
“Earlier, when I went for ad films, I usually used to get ready in 20 minutes. Everything from the make-up to the hair would get done in those 20 minutes and I would be ready for the shoot. Now, it takes one hour and five minutes. So, it is a bit boring sitting on a chair and just waiting, but I am doing it because my fans have loved my new hairstyle.”

He added:
“So, I will try to keep it for some time. However, it is very tough to maintain it. I will try to keep it this way as long as I can. But it is possible that one day I wake up and decide it’s enough; I’ll cut it down.”
