Barber creates 'Hexa Cut' for World Cup fans in Brazil
Summary

In Resende, Brazil, barber Washington Santos is making waves with his ‘Hexa Cut,’ a hairstyle featuring the Brazilian flag designed to celebrate the national team's quest for a sixth World Cup title. Since its revival for this year's tournament, Santos has completed the cut for about 30 fans, primarily children and teenagers. The haircut starts with bleaching the hair white, followed by painting the flag's colors using homemade stencils. Santos, who began barbering over a decade ago, sees increased demand ahead of Brazil's matches and has expanded his designs to include flags of other countries. Fans, such as Gleizyane de Souza, believe these stylish expressions of support can influence the team's success on the field.
