Anderson Varejao with a hat looks like a regular guy

An investigative report reveals Anderson Varejao did not cut off his hair.

Monday evening, this crossed my timeline:

My jaw dropped. I became dizzy. How could Anderson Varejao -- owner of some of the most resplendent, buoyant curls on Earth -- just shear off the whole mane without warning? Was this somehow the fault of LeBron James' return? HOW DARE HE? HOW C-- wait a second:

These are recent photos. The curls are still alive and well. How, then, does something like the above come to be? The answer:

A very tight bun and what must be a pretty big hat. That's all it takes to reduce Varejao and his magical bouncing mop to a regular bro.

He looks like he should be named "Andy." Or even "Ders." One wonders if, say, Robin Lopez could pull this off. Photoevidence suggests otherwise, but we haven't seen him try the bun, and I wouldn't go off just draft photos alone, because even Varejao didn't have the just-a-normal-dude-with-normal-hair look down yet on draft night:

All that could have been stuffed under the hat if Anderson so desired. It's possible. Well, maybe not for Lucas Noguiera.
