The hairdressing shops in Germany have been closed since mid-December.

The cutting ban is part of the package of measures against the corona pandemic.

Since then, the hair has continued to grow unhindered - at least for most of them.

But anyone who suspected that the Bundesliga would soon only feature mats à la Mattéo Guendouzi will be disappointed.

Because hair growth seems to have been stopped as if by magic, especially with many football professionals.

This was also noticed by the Central Association of Hairdressers.

In an open letter on Facebook, the organized hair clippers appealed to the DFB to act as a role model in the lockdown.

The letter is addressed directly to President Fritz Keller.

“It was with great astonishment that we had to find out over the past few days of the match that the majority of the football professionals presented themselves on the pitch with freshly cut hair: parted hair, neck and temple hair trimmed to a few millimeters, clean contours.

Hairstyles that only professional hairdressers can cut with professional equipment. "

Hairdressers demand solidarity from the DFB

The around 80,000 salons of the German hairdressing trade have been closed since December 16, 2020.

The provision of hairdressing services has been banned in Germany for four weeks under the threat of high fines, the senders warn.

The central association based in Cologne sees the football stars as having an obligation for one reason.

"Many hairdressing businesses are threatened in their existence, employees and business owners currently have to cope with short-time work benefits or without any income."

The letter also states that displeasure towards "top-styled" footballers and, as a result, customer calls who want to persuade illegal work and rule violations such as house calls to increase.

A few days ago, the central association had already expressed the hope that hairdressers would receive state aid as "quickly and easily" as possible.

It is a great privilege that professional football can continue to take place despite a pandemic.

“Footballers are role models, not just for young people.

We therefore appeal to you and the DFB: Show solidarity in times like these and take a stand with us against undeclared work. "
