Mike Zazaian: Day 36

Bio

Mike “Folliclaus” Zazaian has been an epic proponent of hair growth for nearly three decades, and has competed in multiple hair-oriented competitions during that time.  As a purebred Armenian Mike is naturally predisposed to unmitigated hair growth, hailing from a long lineage of prolific competitive beard-growers and well-coiffed shepherds.

His recent entry into the sideburns category of the 121st Annual Amsterdam Follicle Topiary competition, “Abraham Lincoln Travels Through Time to Assassinate Lord Byron,” was awarded Best in Show, and received myriad acclaim from regional Dutch press.  Mike holds records in 13 countries in the 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month hair growth sprint events, having been awarded medals in French Guiana, Azerbaijan, Mongolia, The People’s Republic of the Congo, and Chicago.

Mike resides primarily in Ann Arbor, but also holds residence in Nepal for off-season training with local sherpas and water buffalo.  He’s very excited to be participating in the 826 Michigan Mustache-A-Thon, and wishes the other growers the best of luck in the competition.
