-Men's grooming leader Wahl, encouraged fans to pick the best haircut for a chance to win $1,000-

STERLING, Ill., Nov. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Star football players, quarterback DJ Uiagalelei and wide receiver Mycah Pittman, may be rivals on the field, but their friendly competition also extends to haircuts. They recently went head-to-head in the Wahl #CollegeTry Haircut Challenge to see who has the best grooming game, and public votes determined who dominated their first at-home haircut. The final score: DJ Uiagalelei won bragging rights, and 5 people who voted for him were randomly selected to each win $1,000 and a Wahl Clipper.

Congratulations to friendly football rivals, quarterback DJ Uiagalelei and wide receiver Mycah Pittman, for their participation in the Wahl #CollegeTry Haircut Challenge. Their healthy haircut rivalry was commendable, but public votes brought in the W for DJ.

"While DJ's haircut won the competition, I want to congratulate both he and Mycah for taking on a challenge and nailing it," said Steven Yde, Vice President of North America Consumer at Wahl. "Their participation helped us instill confidence in other young men considering at-home haircuts, and I like to think we helped them learn a lifelong skill."

Congratulations also go to the 5 lucky winners who voted for DJ: Christopher W. from Columbus, OH; Alan A. from Nashua, NH; Bryan S. from Newberg, OR; Melissa L. from Dillsburg, PA; and Janice B. from Hamburg, PA. They each took home $1,000 and their own Wahl Pro Series Clipper.

Up For a Haircut Challenge?

DJ and Mycah did it, now we challenge YOU to give home-haircutting the old college try. Wahl offers the following tips to help ensure your success:

Get the gear. If you don't already have one, you'll need a reliable clipper like the Wahl Pro Series Clipper. It has self-sharpening blades and a powerful motor with the torque and precision to avoid mishaps.
Choose a style. Increase the chances of success by picking a hairstyle that flatters your face shape.
Be patient. The single biggest mistake you can make is rushing into it. Seek out instructional videos and expert tips — get a game plan, then start clipping. And if you're using a video tutorial as a guide, try to find someone who has a similar hair type as your own.
