Lochte had a big interview with Matt Lauer on NBC. The dying of his hair is a big deal for himself.

"Lochte, who dyed his hair white for the Games and had it turn a light shade of green from the pool, had changed his hair back to its regular colour for the interview. As Brazilian police investigated his robbery claim, and eventually held his teammates for questioning while they sorted out his story, he had tweeted he intended to dye it back."
