According to Kevin Durant, regular grooming rituals — like getting haircuts, lotioning, and even showering — are a waste of time. “For what?” he told the UNGUARDED podcast. Apparently, to the NBA legend, daily hygiene routines just aren’t that important to him anymore. “Why get cuts? Why lotion?” Durant said. “I don’t lotion my body like that. I might lotion my hands if they a little dry, but I don’t.” That said, Durant never stays unkempt too long. Durant reveals that every so often, he’ll get a haircut if a barber happens to be around. “What make me get a cut, for real, is when I’m in my room playing the game and my homies like, ‘Yeah, we got the barber on the way,’” he continued.
“‘All right, f*ck it. If y’all getting a cut, I go get one, too.’ I ain’t calling them myself.” On the other hand, according to Durant, he wasn’t always this way. Early in his career, the basketball player did care about his appearance, but it eventually became too time-consuming. “I really used to care at some point about like, ‘Man, I need to get a cut this week,’” he continued. “Then after a while, I was like, I’m way more relaxed when I’m just not giving a f—k.” He added, “So I just start getting cut, stop lotioning. I stop taking showers.”
