SINCE returning to Good Morning America, Sam Champion has not only impressed viewers with his diligent reporting but also garnered attention for his luscious locks.
In a recent clip posted to his Instagram, a few viewers couldn’t help but mourn the loss of the news anchor’s thick head of graying, blonde hair.

On Tuesday, the Emmy-winning journalist shared a carousel of images depicting his haircut experience with his barber, Rudy, from Chelsea Gardens Barber Shop in New York.
In the first image, Champion snapped a selfie with the man that was about to chop away his wispy stragglers.
“Let’s go Rudy!” he wrote over the image with an accompanying scissor emoji.
His nest of graying strands appeared much more tamed in the second photo, where he showed off a fresh look.
Champion thanked Rudy for his artistry in the caption, before acknowledging that he was long overdue for a trim.
“After being lazy for months.. and the longest hair since the 90’s,” he admitted.
Initially, many of his fans headed to the comments section to compliment the brand-new cut.
“Handsome as ever Sam,” one person wrote.
Others thought that the side-swept bangs made him look a bit younger.

Some people even offered suggestions for future styles.
“Long or short hair. You look great. Man bun too!!” they wrote.
Unfortunately, not everyone was thrilled about Champion’s decision to abandon his longer hair.
In a video posted to his account early Wednesday morning, Champion sat with his co-anchor, Heather O’Rourke to discuss a heartfelt story about a hero on the MTA.
While the story was touching, some viewers couldn’t help but focus instead on the hair, or lack thereof, on Champion’s head.
“Miss the long hair Sam!!!” a fan commented, before pleading “Grow it back!!!”
They were not the only person to suggest that Champion’s untamed surfer waves actually suited him better.
Many concluded that while the longer look gave Champion some character, the trim was an appropriate choice given his on-air appearances.
“Even though I loved the longish hair, you look fresh and ready for prime time,” a final fan suggested.
