Dan Bilzerian’s beard could have its own Instagram page. But the King of Instagram himself admits that at times he’s had a love-hate relationship with his own facial fuzz. “It was the bane of my existence growing up,” Bilzerian said at a recent press conference. His beard, he says, has taken 17 years in the making and he says that his time serving in the US Navy was hard, even on his beard. “I would shave every morning and by 11 o' clock it would look like I had two days’ worth of stubble.”
Those days are long gone and he’s trying to help out his bearded brethren by launching his own range of grooming products called Alister. “It is important to be transparent about ingredients and use products with clean ingredients. Conscious luxury is the wave of the future because everyone should be aware of what they put on their bodies just like they are aware of what they consume,” Bilzerian says.

At only 38 years of age, Bilzerian is a multi-millionaire with over 40 million followers on social media. And that’s thanks to the number of projects he’s involved himself in and the fact, he says, that he’s living “authentically.” Bilzerian, who is currently in Goa, has also invested in LivePools, a sports predictor game platform. Bilzerian, said, “India has been a market I have been monitoring for a while now. I have evaluated the growth plan and strategy for the company and I am excited about the association.”

In 1973, George Steinbrenner, the then-owner of the Yankees issued a facial hair policy that still stands. Steinbrenner reportedly brought this into effect after seeing players with hair long enough to cover their numbers during the game. The official policy states: “All players, coaches and male executives are forbidden to display any facial hair other than moustaches (except for religious reasons), and scalp hair may not be grown below the collar. Long sideburns and ‘mutton chops’ are not specifically banned.” In recent times this draconian policy has been questioned, with people asking for a change.

In 2017, the construction firm Mears Group banned its workers from sporting beards citing reasons of health and safety. The Group said that the no-beard policy would help the company’s workers wear dust masks on their face effectively. The only exceptions were for medical or religious reasons, but the company requested that a certificate be provided to support the claim. Immediately after the ban, Britain’s biggest union Unite termed the new nationwide regulation as “penny-pinching stupidity”.

In 2018, the American supermarket chain relaxed its beard policy of many decades and said that it would allow its store employees to wear beards.

In 2012, after nearly 60 years of clean-shave policy, Walt Disney Co eliminated its facial hair ban and said that the company’s employees at its two US theme-park resorts — including its over 60,000 workers at Walt Disney World — could grow beards or goatees. Disney’s new policy restricts any facial hair to no more than a quarter of an inch in length and requires any chin whiskers to be wellgroomed. The policy changed after years of careful research. Walt Disney Co began to allow moustaches in 2000.
