Okay, so let's get this out of the way – I've got pretty awesome hair! Or so I'm told by every new person that I meet... and no, they're not always locked in a rear naked choke when they say that! Just thought I'd get this out of the way.
They go like, 'Oh, so you're a model, that explains it! You must be doing a lot to put your hair out of harm's way." Ha! I am a model, and I do take good care of my hair – that much is true.
But what people don't know when they first meet me is that my precious hair goes through a lot more stress than they can imagine. Every day hair gets pulled, punched and even kicked!
And it's not because I have a weird taste in men – it's because modeling is actually a hobby. What I really am is a martial artist!
Over the years of training and competing professionally in both MMA and BJJ, my hair has seen more sweat, blood and tears than a small hospital's surgery room. And my hair still looks awesome, I mean – just look a it:
Wanna know how I do that? I'll let you in on a secret... spoiler alert: the blood of my foes is not the secret ingredient for my shampoo. Or is it?..
PS And to my fellow athletes and martial artists: long hair is an attribute of an accomplished warrior! Think samurai, viking, fabled heroes like Samson and other distinguished martial artists!
