Kevin Durant is known for many things: his elite scoring ability, his all-time playoff performances, his burner accounts, and yes, his hair. Over the years, KD’s unbrushed hair has been the subject of countless memes, jokes, and hot takes online. But this past week, the internet was collectively stunned when Durant pulled up to Taylor Rooks’ star-studded New York wedding with his hair brushed.
Yes, you read that right. Brushed. Tamed. Combed. Groomed. And the reactions from NBA fans online were nothing short of hysterical and wholesome.
One viral post captured the shock best: “KD pulled up to Taylor Rooks’ wedding with his hair brushed.” That alone sent fans into a frenzy, with replies pouring in from every corner of social media.
“Classy KD moving different,” one user posted, admiring Durant’s polished look. The moment was surreal for longtime fans, who’ve often joked about the star’s laissez-faire grooming habits. In fact, seeing Durant smile with a fresh cut and visibly brushed hair made some fans emotional and others hilarious.
“That boi is sooooo blizzard!” another person wrote, clearly in awe of the transformation. Another added, “N***a grinning like a fat kid that’s about to eat lmao.”
The jokes weren’t mean-spirited this time, they were celebratory. It felt like witnessing a rare event, like Halley’s Comet or Steph Curry missing two free throws.
Many couldn’t help but respect Durant’s usual attitude. “I love his idgafness. Bc hair brushed or not, it’s not stopping the ladies,” one fan wrote.
Another chimed in with a wholesome, “lol he looks nice,” summing up the mood of many who saw this as a refined, grown-man version of KD stepping out.
The most viral comment, though, might have been: “He was trying to catch the ‘forever hold your peace’ part lmao.”
Suddenly, theories flooded X and TikTok: Was KD brushing his hair a sign of serious intentions? Was he there to show out or was this a soft flex in front of fellow stars like Saquon Barkley and Jack Harlow?
And of course, some fans just couldn’t believe what they saw. “I ain’t never seen his hair this fresh,” one fan said, still in disbelief.
Another capped it off perfectly: “Boy brush all them knots out his hair.”
It wasn’t just about the hair, it was the setting. This was Taylor Rooks’ wedding, a glamorous event filled with A-list guests from the sports and entertainment world. Kevin Durant looked sharp in a clean-tailored suit, smiling in photos and looking genuinely happy. But that brushed hair? That’s what stole the show.
Whatever the reason, fans won’t soon forget the day Kevin Durant brushed his hair. And they definitely won’t let him, either.
