The Champions League winner, 38, had two separate spells at Chelsea between 2011 and 2019, while he also spent two years at Arsenal before returning to Brazil in 2021. During his time in England, he was known for his long, curly locks, with some fans even wearing wigs in the crowd to show support for his unique haircut. But a photo from the weekend of him in action for Brazilian outfit Fortaleza shocked fans as it showed Luiz with a significant bald patch on the top of his head. Luiz has now released a video with his barber to explain how he has been dealing with his hair loss issue for some time. In the video, Luiz revealed: 'Over the years, I've lost a little hair. I have treated baldness for many years.

Now, over the years I have much more difficulty to leave the hair as I liked, the one fullest of curls, the curly way I liked it. 'It was a lot more work too. It was easier for me to put on the cap and do the style this way. ' Luiz then removed his cap to show his long locks, but admitted that his hair was thinning and in need of attention. The barber seemed less concerned, insisting there was still 'huge potential' for Luiz to continue with his own trademark style. He then gave Luiz a haircut, leaving the defender looking like a new man as he jokingly asked: 'where did you stick the baldness! ?' Luiz appeared delighted with the significant transformation as he ran his fingers through his hair to check that there were no patches without hair. The barber was also proud of his work, with Luiz looking younger than ever, as he declared that the Brazilian star has 'a lot of football still ahead'. Luiz joined Fortaleza at the start of the year and has featured in all five of their league matches so far this season. Fortaleza are currently 14th in Brazil's top division, having taken five points from as many games.
