Hands up everyone who ever played a game where you could change your hairstyle?
Grand Theft Auto, World of Warcraft, Guild Wars, Final Fantasy, etc. the list goes on. You can visit the in-game barber and turn your short buzz cut into the longest hair possible.
Don’t like it? No worries! Just change it into another haircut instantly. Oh, if this would only be possible in real life, right?
Tired of long hair? Try out a new crew cut, but if you don’t like it you can instantly restore your long hair. The dream! Well due to biologically reasons this is obviously not possible… but is it?
Meet Lyle Avett
Guys, let me tell you a story about Lyle Avett, an avid gamer and Twitch streamer who, with a conventional Caeser haircut, decided he wanted a new style.
So he went to his local barbershop, scrolled through the books of different hairstyles the barber had in his waiting room, and requested one of the following styles: the Blonde Afro, the Shaggy Dog, or Long Hair no. 3.
Now the problem is this: Avett had short hair (as mentioned above) so the barber politely told him that he wouldn’t be able to give him one of these haircuts.
This is when Avett lost his plot.
He called the hairstylist names and questioned the capability of her skills. After arguing for a while, the hairstylist convinced him to get a buzz cut.
Ultimately, he disliked it that much that he asked for his old haircut to be restored. Oh lordy!
So maybe we shouldn’t worry too much about video games turning our kids into maniacs but more so about the fact that they think a haircut is only a button press away and you can change it into everything you want.
Anyway, I hope you didn’t mind this little bit of an ice breaker for this article.
So now, on to our business! Let’s have a look at this list of pro gamers that actually understood the hairdressing game and discover their hairstyles!

19. Crayator Pro Gamer & Entertainer

Conclusion
With the gaming scene getting more and more attention in the mainstream media world, I think it is safe to say that it is about time to waive the idea of “in basement sitting, never sunlight seeing gamers” away.
Nowadays, it is more a dream profession to become a professional gamer. Still, you will need not only gaming skills but also to be active on social media channels as well as at media events.
Therefore, pro gamers need to put more thought into their haircuts and styling. And with these great results, why not channel your inner gamer too!
