Agassi says it was initially ‘terrifying’ to accept his changed hairstyle
Recalling those moments from 1995, Agassi said, “It was terrifying, but then quickly liberating. It was terrifying deciding to do it. It was terrifying when I was about to do it. It was terrifying while I was doing it. And then, it was quickly like ‘Why did I waste so much time worrying about my hair’?”
However, during an interview with The Herald Sun, Agassi revealed it was fun reconnecting with his famous follicles for the campaign in Australia. “I’m conflicted. In some ways, it’s Amnesia Lane. In other ways, I feel like I want to burn every picture I see of myself at a certain time,” Andre Agassi joked.
