NEYMAR flew his personal barber from Paris to Qatar in order to get a pre-match trim.
The Brazilian is set to return to action tonight as Brazil take on South Korea in the World Cup round of 16.

Neymar, 30, has been missing since picking up an ankle injury in his side’s opening match against Serbia.
And evidently he wanted a fresh barnet for his big return.
The Paris Saint-Germain star beamed alongside his barber Nariko after getting his hair cut and dyed blond.
Neymar is well known to be a superstitious player, and he may hope that his haircut brings him good luck.
Last time he faced South Korea was in a friendly in Seoul back in June – during which he sported a similar blond barnet.
In that match he scored twice as his side ran out 5-1 winners.
Ahead of the game, Nariko wished his client good luck – writing on Instagram: “The brabo with a new look for the return, go with everything brother @neymarjr #ousadia May God bless you and our national team novo.”
Quizzed yesterday if Neymar would definitely be fit enough to play, boss Tite simply replied: “Yes.”

He then added: “Neymar will train today in the afternoon and if he trains well he will play.”
At the last World Cup, Brazil’s No10 sported an eye-catching blond perm.
While he showed off a pink barnet while playing for PSG a couple of seasons ago.
