It’s that time of year again when people put down their razors in favour of growing out their hair. “No-Shave November” or “Movember” is a month-long commitment in which participants neglect shaving and grooming to raise awareness of cancer.
The annual campaign began nearly 20 years ago, according to the official Movember website, when two friends in Australia decided to see how long they could grow their mustaches for the month of November. Since then, it has turned into a worldwide cultural phenomenon promoting men’s health issues - such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and colorectal cancer - as well as mental health awareness.
