Jaylen Brown Says Bye To Braids And Hello To…
As mentioned, Jaylen has been getting his hair styled in different cornrows lately. Then, on March 31, he teased fans with a photo of chopped-off hair in his hand while he sat in what seemed like a barbershop. He captioned the X (formerly Twitter) post “Eid Kareem.” The Arabic phrase is typically a greeting, meaning generous or blessed festival/gathering. Jaylen’s post definitely got the attention of his 760,000-plus followers. As of April 2, the tweet has over 400 comments, more than 1,400 reshares, at least 29,000 likes, and 1.5 million views.

Brown has yet to flex his new big chop on the ‘gram or other social platforms. However, a circulating post from a celebrity barber nicknamed The Big Dripper showed the final result of Jaylen Brown’s new-new! Dripper’s IG bio indicates he operates out of South Beach but tagged his location as Boston in the post. It makes sense, given that Jaylen is a shooting guard for the Boston Celtics.
As for the new cut, Jaylen Brown went with a low cut with a crispy line-up that connects to his beard. Peep the MAJOR difference in hairstyles below, and keep scrolling for reactions from fans.
Social Media Reacts To Jaylen’s Cut
Nearly 3,000 roomies weighed in on Brown’s braids being gone in The Shade Room’s comment section. The reactions are all over the place, with some praising the new look and others being on the fence.
@therealsmedia offered a lil’ advice for Jaylen, writing, “He just need some warm water, pomade, a brush and a durag. Also should probably let that beard grow some longer.”
@_suckafreesi also offered notes, adding, “Gimme some black gel and a durag I’ll get him back right 🌊.”
@thereal_neka teased, “Boy got them coconut hairs.”
Meanwhile, @wazzyjazzi was here for it. She wrote, “Thank you, Father, for letting these fine black men bring the low cuts back out. The ladies have been missing the waves.”
And @getuptopar agreed, adding, “Yes! Please bring back this look!!”
@tonikamarie even gave Jaylen Brown a lil’ nickname, writing, “I love it chocolate drop.”
@nicoadnbeetv praised the switch-up, but not without some shade, chile! “Mannnnn this the best decision bro could’ve made!!! Bro braids was sh*tty😂😂😂”
@girlwonder_ also wasn’t a fan of the braids, writing, “About damn time! 👏👏👏 them middle braids was struggle bro 😂”
@sharlinefx was on the same boat, adding, “About damn time cuz them braids was NOT IT 👏👏👏👏”
However, @itsquooo advocated for the old hair. She wrote, “Glue the braids back on.”
@lovable_pack was less worried about Jaylen Brown’s hair than his NBA performance. She joked, “Boy you worried about the wrong shit you keep fuckin up my parlay 😂”
The new haircut was also a topic on X, and again, the reactions were givin’ MIXED.
