For most, November means cooler temperatures, colored leaves, football and turkey. For others, it means facial hair.
“No Shave November” is a non-profit organization targeted toward men that is devoted to raising cancer awareness. The idea is that money normally spent on personal grooming (waxing, trimming, salon visits, etc.) can be donated to the American Cancer Society. Men that participate are encouraged to embrace their natural growing hair: something cancer patients often lose.
The no shaving trend is becoming more popular every year, and men of all ages can be found participating. Of course, not all guys may be able to pull off the whole beard thing, but there are definitely some out there that happen to look really great with facial hair.
Here are some celebrities that make ladies everywhere look forward to this shave-less month:
1. Zac Efron
Gone are the clean-shaven High School Musical days. No one is complaining.
2. Ryan Reynolds
Girls everywhere continue to have a love/hate relationship with Blake Lively. November does not help.
3. Jake Gyllenhaal
Already mysterious, Gyllenhaal takes on an even edgier look when facial hair is added.
4. Ryan Gosling
No one can resist a scruffy Notebook-reminiscent version of Gosling. If you're still a bird, I definitely am too.
5. Leonardo DiCaprio
While his beard may be the least tame out of the bunch, facial hair or not, Leo always makes the cut.
So the next time you complain to your boyfriend that he desperately needs to shave, think of the cause behind the beard… and the eye candy it brings with it. Happy “No Shave November,” ladies.
