Boardman swim team continues hair dying tradition

See WKBN

Boardman’s boys’ swim team continues with a decade old tradition on Sunday afternoon, dying each other’s hair bleach blonde.

The team is preparing for the Sectional tournament that takes place on February 6th at the University of Akron.

Fifteen swimmers from the boys team went to Beautiful Creations hair and nail salon in Boardman to complete the dying process. The salon provided all the necessary dye. The boys will leave their hair blonde for the next three weeks, then shave their heads the night before the meet.

The female swimmers on the team also took part in a team tradition Sunday afternoon, adding red dye to their hair.
