Justin Trudeau Has Finally Ditched The Lockdown Locks & It Feels Like 2019 Again

He even said goodbye to the beard!

Managing Editor, Canada

Talk about a transformation! Justin Trudeau's hair has finally been chopped and he looks like a totally different person. He even said goodbye to the beard!

On June 30, the prime minister looked pretty sharp as he made a statement during the Generation Equality Forum.

Gone are those long and often luscious locks in exchange for a tidier and shorter cut, similar to the style he was sporting circa 2018 and 2019.

The beard — which some Canadians had pretty strong feelings about — has also disappeared, in favour of a clean-shaven look.

Although the PM's new style is taking us back to pre-pandemic times, the old 'do did have some pretty iconic moments. Particularly that famous hair flip moment that proved just how badly he needed a trim.

While Trudeau's lockdown style did resemble his younger years, it's good to see the PM looking like his usual self again.

Wednesday was the first day salons and barbers reopened in Ontario, as the province entered step two of its reopening plan,

Trudeau wasn't the only one to have somewhat chaotic lockdown hair, as Toronto Mayor John Tory has been sporting a super voluminous hairdo for a number of months. We feel ya, John!
