Toronto basketball pros share 3 keys to success
Toronto basketball teammates DeMarre Carroll and Cory Joseph are two of the most stylish dudes on the court. But what gives them that special swagger? Arguably it’s their strong beard game.
Well-groomed facial hair is a simple, cost-effective way to define your style and boost your confidence. From short stubble to a full lumberjack beard, the facial hair possibilities are essentially endless. So, what’s their secret to facial hair success?
1. Choose Your Style Wisely and “Keep it Fresh”
Not just anyone can pull off a righteous beard or handlebar mustache. Your face shape will determine which facial hair style will look best on you. For example, if your face is more round, you’ll want to add some length to chin area and keep the sides trimmed more tightly. This will elongate the overall shape.
Whatever the style, proper hygiene is important. Make sure you’re washing your beard regularly to keep the itch down and eliminate debris. Using an oil can help define the shape and help keep hair shiny and soft.
2. Look Like a Pro
Wanna get the trim and tight look of the reigning Beard Battle Champion? Men’s grooming leader Wahl Canada recently teamed up with Carroll and Joseph on an initiative to raise money for charity. The two teammates and friends went head-to-head in a beard-growing competition, with public voting on the company’s Facebook page determining the winner—DeMarre Carroll. As a result, Wahl Canada donated $10,000 to his charity, The Carroll Family Foundation.
Get DeMarre Carroll’s look
- Let your beard grow for two weeks
- Maintain defined edges above the cheeks, below the mouth and around the neck
- Trim your mustache to 3/4-inch and leave it connected to the beard in a half-circle pattern
