Finally, some insight on the most mysterious and famous hairline in the world
LeBron James doesn’t really have an Achilles heel. He’s the best player in the world, a 4-time MVP, 2-time NBA Champion, USA Gold Medalist, record-breaker, brand ambassador, and world famous superstar. He may go down in history as the most successful and famous athlete in the history of sports. If there’s anything he gets criticism for, it’s his hairline. The on-again, off-again nature of LeBron’s hairline has become the subject of much scrutiny, especially when he showed up to the reveal of his latest Nike shoe with what appeared to be an artificially altered hairdo. Despite that photo–which is above on the left–LeBron has been snapped in more candid positions looking a lot more like someone that needs help in the hairline area–above on the right.
His personal barber, who left his practice in Miami to travel with #23 has provided some insight to Yahoo! Sports on what it’s like being the King’s hair cutter.
There is no dye. No additives. No preservatives. Everyone thinks he’s dying his hair using [temporary hair colorings] Bigen or Black Ice. It’s all his hair. They still don’t believe me. I get Bigen comments all the time. I’ve become numb to it. It used to bother me. It’s not easy to hear that. LeBron is very tedious about how his hair is cut. The beard is the No. 1 thing. He leaves the top up to me. I leave him less bald. He’s my guy. He’s my hardest haircut. He has good hair. You have to cut it right. He just has a few fat patches around the chin that you have to take your time with. You have to have patience. It usually takes about 50 minutes.
