When it comes to his hair, Anthony DeMaio has let only one person cut his locks: his mother, Nicole.
But with his family 3,000 miles away in San Diego, DeMaio, a senior midfielder for the Maryland men’s lacrosse team, has had to adapt. So who has he turned to? Teammate and sophomore faceoff specialist Michael Roche IV.
“He actually did this one. He got me a nice little mullet here,” DeMaio said Tuesday, showing off his cut via Zoom.
Asked whether he had any concerns about turning over his hair to a nonprofessional like Roche, DeMaio said: “Definitely a little bit just because my mom’s a hairdresser and no one else has ever cut my hair.
