When Karrion Kross arrived in WWE in 2020 he had a shaved/buzzed head to go along with his cold personality.
Upon returning in 2022, he had a little more hair on his head. In 2025, his locks are long as he gets under the skin of his opponents with his words.
Speaking to Fred Richani of TSC, Kross was asked if the plan was to always grow his hair back.
"I initially shaved my head because I thought it suited the presentation of the character on the independents. I have buzzed my head a couple of times growing up for sports combat purposes. To have a lot of hair when you’re doing jiu-jitsu and you’re always sweating and you’re doing boxing, it’s kind of a pain in the butt. Especially, constantly having to put product in it. If you start sweating, it’s all over your face. I decided to let my hair grow out after I was released from WWE because I was contacted by another writer and producer who wanted me to do a film and the way he wanted the character presented was like an ex-military guy and kind of on his last leg in New Mexico. He may still produce the film, and hopefully, he gives me a shout for it because I did get the role. The plan was to grow the hair out for the character, and then I got re-signed to WWE and I just decided to keep the hair. It wasn’t for a while until we realized he had to jump to another project and there was a hold up on producing the film, which happens all the time, it’s very common. I kept the hair and I would be open to shaving it for going back to (the bald or buzzed) look, but there would need to be a strong story for it. The only other case I would ever shave it would be to donate it to a charity, which I was talking to. I made a donation to them, but I was going to donate my hair to some kids that were suffering from hair loss. If I still decide to do that, I may as well let it get as long as possible," he said.
When the host mentioned the possibility of a hair vs. hair match, Kross replied, "I would really prefer not to do that [laughs]. Seems like such a waste."
Elsewhere during the interview, Kross commented on wrestling on WWE Main Event.
