Opapa parada translates as "to alter appearance." It is a common Brazilian expression used to describe an act of deception or fakery. Parada here means stop. Alter one's appearance by stopping one's hair growth is called "parading" or "faking it." Examples: "O Renato parou de usar o cabelo longo para se manter no top 10." ("Renato stopped wearing his hair long to stay in the top 10.") or "Eles pararam de ser bons artistas para se tornarem um clube popular." ("They stopped being good artists to become popular.") Parada can also mean stop acting innocent and start taking responsibility for your actions.
