PHOTO: Barca GK Pinto unravels braids to showcase unbelievable afro

Chances are you've never seen Barcelona goalkeeper Jose Manuel Pinto without his hair in braids.

Part of that is because he barely steps foot on the pitch for the Blaugrana -- and the other reason is because he's almost always wearing his hair that way. 

Reason No. 1 is better. Reason No. 2 is more accurate. You decide.

Well, the veteran shot-stopper took to Twitter on Wednesday to reveal just what his hair looks like when it is unleashed. 

The result was incredible...

If only Pinto was bigger (and had a beard), he could have been a star in the Harry Potter films...
