Dudes, let me just say how disappointed I am to hear all of you who have bleached/dyed/tampered with your hair. Fact: People who do that usually aren't good. Fact: People who do that get made fun of. Fact: Getting to state is sweet, but the experience is nullified by dumb hair decisions.

Now, I will give you all the one acceptable idea for hair maintenance during the state wrestling tournament. This has never been done before, and can only be done by a select few in the high school wrestling community. While it is a Prant Creation, sadly, I can never pull it off myself. Here goes everything...

For our bearded friends, this is what you do: Flaunt your manliness. Grow your beard nice and bushy. Next, shave off all hair except your 'burns and bangs. You now have what I like to call the "Circle of Hair." It has never been done before. You will be original, and you will be handed a state title the second you step on the mat. While the rulebook prohibits beards, there is a little-known clause that allows Lion's Manes such as your new style. The Circle of Hair and ONLY the Circle of Hair is an acceptable hair alteration for the state tournament.

Don't argue with me--it's science.
