One of the things which made Shaun White widely popular has been his hair. Bright red in color, and long in length, his hair set him apart from all the other snowboarders. One could easily sport Shaun when he was up flying in the air because of his bright red hair.

Because of his hair, the snowboarding star was nicknamed “The Flying Tomato”. White started going by this name, and it made the 3 time Gold medalist all the more famous. He came to be known as the snowboarder with red hair.

Shaun White is currently in Las Vegas with his girlfriend, Nina Dobrev. Nina was seen trying on the famous Shaun White wig and posing for a photo there.

Shaun White shared “some fun moments from the other night” via Instagram. The athlete had a small retirement celebration there.

The wigs are exactly like Shaun White’s hair was back in the day, long in length and bright red. White pulled off the look in style. He had this look until Sochi. It was before the 2014 Olympics that he chopped it off.

However, his iconic hairstyle will always be remembered. This was the hairstyle that got him his nickname. Moreover, back then, Shaun was one of the few athletes to carry such a unique hairstyle, something that set him apart.

What made Shaun White chop off his hair?

Indeed, the question is, what actually made White cut off his iconic hair? White has revealed that it was actually a piece of advice from Carrot Top that made him do it.

It was in Las Vegas some years back when the athlete bumped into comedian Carrot Top. Carrot Top was the one who actually advised White to change his look.

” There’s still time for you. I am stuck like this, you gotta change,” said the comedian.

That is when Shaub decided to change his look into a more comfortable now. Without letting anyone know, White went and had his hair cut off.
