LeBron James is trending after a video of him putting his hair brush to work went viral!
James spoke to reporters from inside a locker room. Though the Los Angeles Lakers had a game on Wednesday (Jan. 3), it’s unclear if the circulating clip was filmed following that 110-96 loss to the Miami Heat.
But as the reporters asked questions and LeBron answered, the shirtless pro athlete repeatedly brushed his hair. He moved the brush along the top and sides of his head, finishing by swiping his head over the brushed hair. The camera angle shows what looks like small patches of hair loss, particularly at the top and back of Bron’s head.

For context, LeBron typically rocks a low haircut. However, over the years, his apparent hair loss has received attention from NBA fans and the media. In 2019, NBC Sports reported on James’ fresh hairline pushing back — fueling speculation that the small forward player has received hair transplants in the past.
