However, as part of the protocol, Steyn is required to be in quarantine for 14 days before he can get to the action. During this time, Steyn decided to stay connected with his fans through a Q&A on his Twitter account. When one fan got carried away and asked Steyn to have long hair cut. This didn’t quite go well with the South African who clearly seemed upset in his reponse.

The suggestion by the fan hadn’t quite gone well with Steyn. The fan had tweeted – “Dale long locks doesn’t suit you! Can you get to normal haircut?”
In his response, the Steyn wrote back, “How about I worry about my appearance and you worry about yours Mr ugly mustache.” During the 2014 ICC World T20, Dale Steyn was in the news after he flashed an unusual Mohawk hairstyle.
