Willie Nelson told The Today Show in 2021 that his long braided hair isn't going to be the last thing he holds on to. Indeed, he'd be glad to get rid of his hair need be, but one thing he's never going to part with is his beaten-up guitar, Trigger. Asked directly if he had to choose between getting a haircut or getting a new guitar, Nelson answered that the choice was simple. "I'd cut the hair off, and it'll grow back," he said.
As it turns out, Nelson has indeed cut his hair short (comparatively so, anyway) in his later career. As recently as 2010, as Taste of Country reported, Nelson was spotted on-stage sporting unbraided locks that barely reached his shoulders. Of course, since then he's gone back to lengthy braids. Indeed, Willie noted that he may cut his hair off again at some point. "I might decide I don't like it one day and cut it all off," he said.
