Elfrid Payton is hard to recognize without his trademark hairdo.

The Phoenix Suns player is largely known for his unique hairstyle, which now belongs to this barber:

Payton posted a selfie showing off his haircut on Instagram. Sports Illustrated actually points out that the haircut may help his game, considering before his trade to Phoenix “Payton actually airballed a shot in the lane because his hair flopped in front of his eyes and blinded him.”
