Andreas Harrysson has admitted his beard is causing him issues
He washes his facial hair twice a day
Swedish ace ‘Dirty Harrysson’ is riding high at the top of the PDC Nordic & Baltic Order of Merit after clinching FOUR ProTour titles.
He has also booked his place at the 2026 World Championship in the process.
But Harrysson revealed that his facial fuzz can actually get in the way when he’s competing.
He told the Weekly Dartscast: “I try to use beard oil, but when I’m throwing darts my hand always goes up into the beard and then I can’t throw properly.
“I think this is the longest so far. We’ll see if it gets any longer.”
World No149 Harrysson admits the beard takes serious daily upkeep to stop it becoming unmanageable.
He added: “I usually wash it once or twice a day.
“I only use conditioner in it, not shampoo, because that keeps the hair soft and smooth without drying out.”
Despite the hassle, Harrysson has never even been to a barber to tame it – instead doing all the maintenance himself.
He explained: “I haven’t been yet, but I’ve thought about it.”
The 50-year-old impressed at the European Darts Open in June, storming into the third round with wins over and .
