Although he’s all for setting trends, Travis Kelce said it’s “absolutely ridiculous” that people think he invented his fade haircut.
The claim was made in the New York Times article, in which the publication claimed that the faded haircut had been labeled as a “Travis Kelce haircut.” The article sparked backlash when people claimed it implied the NFL star had invented the hairstyle, which is often associated with black men.
During the opening night of Super Bowl LVIII at Allegiant Stadium on Tuesday, February 8, Travis Kelce had some thoughts on the article.
“It’s absolutely ridiculous,” he declared of the claims. “And do it on February 1st. They throw me to the wolves like this. That was a disaster, man. “I don’t want anything to do with that, man.”
Kelce then shared how his hairdresser cuts his hair. “It’s a two on top and a nice high to mid fade with a taper at the back. I didn’t invent that. “I just asked for it.”

The South Florida barber then revealed that he has been traveling to Kansas City every week during the NFL season for Kelce’s weekly cut.
“I give Travis a ‘skin fade’ or ‘bald fade’ haircut,” he continued. “I usually trim the top with a #3 guard and then start with the razor completely bald on the sides. “Then I gradually fade it towards the top with clipper guards.”
Regan further explained that Kelce usually gives her an idea of what haircut she’s interested in. She noted that the NFL star tends to grow his hair out long before cutting it to a shorter, cleaner length.
The barber added that he thinks it’s cool that people call the hairstyle the “Travis Kelce Cut.”
“It’s kind of ironic,” he noted. “Because it’s a haircut [that] “Barbers have been serving their customers for 100 years all day, every day.”
