why is brandon marsh hair always wet

Brandon Marsh's hair is always wet because he prefers the look and feel of wet hair. He dumps water on his head multiple times a day during games to keep it slicked back and prevent it from becoming "super bristly," which he doesn't like. He avoids hair products and conditioners, relying solely on water to maintain this style. This habit started because his hair was often dry, and a Phillies teammate, Michael Lorenzen, suggested pouring water on it and using some hair oil, though Marsh mainly goes with just water. Marsh only washes his hair about once a month, which, combined with frequent wetting, gives his hair a greasy, slick appearance that has become his distinctive trademark on the field.
