AJ Styles Backtracks on Plans to Shave His Head After Retirement

TLDR

AJ Styles has changed his mind about shaving his head after retirement, despite previously teasing that he would cut off his long hair once his in-ring career ended. Speaking on his Phenomenally Retro Podcast on March 22, 2026, Styles admitted he's been going back and forth about what to do with his hair and is currently enjoying not having to get regular haircuts. The retired wrestler said his perspective on his hair has shifted now that he's no longer actively wrestling, making it less of a concern than it used to be.
