Thread Name: BS: Footballers' hair
Subject: BS: Footballers' hair
A thing I notice when watching football is how well-groomed and well-presented most of the players are. Apart from the occasional resolute scruff, the overall impression is of considerable care with appearance.

In particular, the hair is almost universally well cut; perfectly shaped around the nape and ears, and no hair to be seen on the neck at all. How is such tonsorial perfection, especially this last effect, achieved? Is there a squad of hairdressers in every team dressing room? Is a trim part of the players' pre-match routine? Or how do they do it?

Bearing in mind that several matches will be played each week, and pretty well every one will be televised, if not shown live then filmed for one of the round-up programmes like Match Of The Day, The Football League Show, The Cup Today, &c, a vast amount of care & effort must go into this overall excellence of grooming. Genuinely curious as to how and when and where it is all done! Anyone know?
