No, not my hair but that of Melbourne Storms Matt King.
For those of you who aren't aware just yet, I am now very much enjoying the Rugby League! Being Welsh I should enjoy rugby but in the past in has been a game that I had very little enthusiasm for but since coming to Australia I have been swept up and away with the NRL - It's great!
Of course, as I have a soft spot for Melbourne (despite living in Sydney) one of the teams I support is the Melbourne Storm and who wouldn't support a team that has a player that looks like Sideshow Bob :-) I took great delight last Friday shouting "Go Bob!" everytime Matt King had possession of the ball. Tonight they were playing the Canberra Raiders and won - yay! But while I was watching I couldn't find "Bob" on the pitch. I frantically played a game of "Where's Bob?" while cheering and screaming at the TV. I finally caught a glimpse of a guy that.... no wait... that... that is "Bob"! But the "Bob" on my screen was no longer.
Yes, Matt King has shaved off his hair.
I couldn't believe it, I was in shock and I could no longer shout "Go Bob" because without the hair he's just, well, too normal.
Fortunately, Kingy was a good chap and shaved it all off for The Worlds Greatest Shave to help the fight against Lukeamia.
At least he had a good reason to lose the trademark 'fro.
I have scoured the net but so far I haven't found any pics of hairless Matt but I will edit this post and add one when I find one.

Given that the 'fro appeared in a bit of storm marketing pre-season, it's fair to assume it'll be back as soon as possible :-)
Hooray for the 'fro!
I'm sure it won't take long to grow. Fortunately, I also enjoy shouting "Go Gidley!" when the Knights are playing as well as general cheering and clapping when the Storm get a Try and particulalrly when the win. Like Saturday night against the Raiders - what a game!
I'm just waiting for the neighbours to knock the door and tell me to keep it down LOL
