Handball Hair and Style: The 2017 World Championship Archive

This Slikhaar archive revisits the players featured around the 2017 Men’s Handball World Championship in France. Its useful focus is their contrasting hair and beard references. It is not a current player ranking, roster or statistical account of their careers.

The original selection

The article featured Nikola Karabatic, Mikkel Hansen, Jesper Nøddesbo, Víctor Tomás, Daniel Narcisse, Valero Rivera Folch, Jerry Tollbring, Domagoj Duvnjak and Uwe Gensheimer. The selection captures their style around the 2017 tournament.

Longer hair: Hansen and Nøddesbo

The original references contrast loose longer hair with a gathered style. If you want a similar outline, plan the growing stages and the care routine as well as the final look. Hair should reach a tie comfortably rather than being pulled tightly into place.

Shorter shapes: Tomás and Narcisse

The article contrasts short spiky texture with a much closer cut. A short textured top leaves more shaping options, while a close cut reduces the daily styling steps. Both need maintenance if you want to preserve the same outline.

Side direction: Tollbring

The archived description highlights a relaxed side-parted finish. Guide the roots in a comfortable direction and leave a little movement through the top. A natural part and a sharply shaved line are different choices with different upkeep.

Hair and beard together

The Karabatic and Nøddesbo references also show how facial hair changes the overall balance. Compare the outline from the front and side. Choose a beard shape that works with your growth rather than assuming it must imitate the reference exactly.

Use the gallery as an archive

The retained images and original social references belong to the article’s historical context. Choose a clear image to show a barber and identify the feature you like. For actual sporting records or present-day information, use an official handball source rather than an old grooming article.
