Travis Kelce’s new haircut goes viral but fans were also curious if it was all real—his barber spills the truth

Travis Kelce is always making headlines whether it’s catching touchdowns or catching feelings. But this time, it’s not about the Kansas City Chiefs or Taylor Swift, it’s his hair that's got the internet buzzing. After photos of Kelce’s fresh cut went viral, fans started speculating: is that new growth the result of a hair transplant? Now, his longtime barber is stepping in to set the record straight.


During a recent trip to Tribeca, New York, Kelce was spotted with a noticeably sharper, slightly longer hairstyle and social media instantly lost it. Comments rolled in fast: “He’s so handsome it’s stunning,” “That’s a good-looking man,” and “Love this.” It’s safe to say the NFL star's new look is scoring just as many points off the field as he does on it.

And it’s not just the fans noticing. Kelce has always had a flair for fashion and grooming, and this latest style change fits his bold vibe perfectly. But what started as admiration quickly turned into curiosity. People started wondering—did Travis get a little help growing that hair out?


Enter Vince Garcia, Kelce’s trusted barber and longtime friend. In a recent interview, Garcia laughed off the transplant rumors, calling them totally false. “That’s a full head of hair right there,” he said, making it clear that Kelce’s flow is all-natural.
Garcia’s been grooming the Chiefs star for years whether it’s house calls, TV appearances, or big red carpet events. Their bond goes beyond the barber’s chair, and he’s been a key part of Kelce’s evolving look. So when he says the hair’s real, we believe him.
Here’s where it gets even more fun. According to teammate Patrick Mahomes, Kelce didn’t always want to grow his hair out. “I’ve been trying to get him to do it for a while,” Mahomes said but apparently, all it took was a little encouragement from girlfriend Taylor Swift.

Kelce has mentioned before that he likes experimenting with his look, even admitting in past interviews that not every style is for everyone. But this latest one? Definitely a win. And Swift clearly has an eye for it.
