Alright, let’s talk about this little project I did the other day. It started kinda randomly, I was just scrolling, watching some fight highlights, you know? And Rose Namajunas popped up. Badass as always with her shaved head. But then it hit me, I couldn’t really picture her any other way. It got me thinking, what did she look like before the buzz cut?
Starting the Search
So, curiosity got the better of me. I just had to see. I opened up my browser and started digging. My first searches were pretty basic, things like:
- Rose Namajunas with hair
- Rose Namajunas long hair
- Young Rose Namajunas photos
You get the idea. Just throwing stuff out there to see what stuck.
Digging Through Results
Honestly, at first, it was mostly the pictures we all know – fight pics, weigh-ins, that intense look. Took a bit of scrolling past those. Had to refine the search a bit, maybe adding terms like “early career” or even “before UFC”.
Then, slowly, some different images started popping up. Found some older photos, definitely her, but with hair! Mostly blonde, sometimes shoulder-length, sometimes shorter bobs. It was pretty wild to see.
It’s a Whole Different Look
Seeing those pictures was kinda jarring, in a cool way. It changes her whole vibe. Not better or worse, just different. You see these photos where she looks younger, maybe less intense than the “Thug Rose” persona we know in the Octagon. It’s just interesting how much a hairstyle contributes to a public image, right?
I spent a good chunk of time just looking through these older photos. Found some from what looked like maybe modeling gigs way back, others just seemed like regular photos from when she was younger. It felt like uncovering a bit of history.
Trying Something Else
Then I got another idea. What if I tried to see what she’d look like now, but with hair? Like, using some of that AI image stuff everyone’s playing with. So, I fired up one of those tools. Tried describing it – “Rose Namajunas, current age, with shoulder-length blonde hair”.
Getting that AI to cooperate was its own little adventure. The first few tries were kinda funky, you know how AI can be. Weird artifacts, faces not quite right. But after tweaking the description a few times, adding more details, I got a couple that looked somewhat plausible. Still not the real thing, obviously, but it satisfied that “what if” curiosity.
Wrapping Up
So yeah, that was my little quest. Started with a simple thought and ended up digging through old photos and even messing with AI. It was fun, actually. Confirmed she did indeed have hair, looked cool, but man, she really owns that shaved head look now. It’s become iconic. Just goes to show, people change, styles evolve. Pretty cool to see the journey.
