HAIRY TIMES AS ELITE FACE OFF

-

THE world’s best and most full-bodied beards have been crowned.

Thousands of facial hair aficionado­s flocked to Austin, Texas to witness the 2017 World Beard and Moustache Championsh­ips.

The winners were selected from a range of categories including moustache, partial and full-beards.

Best in Show was given to Jason Kiley for his perfectly-styled facial hair reminiscen­t of a pretzel, while Norbert Topf was crowned winner of the partial beard category.

Isaiah Webb was runnerup to Kiley in the full beard freestyle but took out the Big Joe Johnson Showmanshi­p Award for his wolfman-inspired number.
