I can get like a paper thin what I call "chomo stache", that's about it. So I just shave it all off. I guess i'm lucky I have really thick hair on top of my head and am not balding
i am literally on the opposite side of this problem i have had a full beard since i was a teen and i DESPISE IT it is just so much effort to keep it on a reasonable i am not an insane person who lost control of my life state
Fair enough, not everyone wants to rock one. Wish I could take it off your hands
it get scratchy sometimes and you shouldn't scratch it because you might actually create holes in it and also it kinda makes my face look fat because you can't see the edge when it is too big i would give it to you
I have a full beard that forms a continuous mat of hair to my balls.
Get on my level you fucking losers.
:flag-trans-pride: the badly bearded boy > bad bitch pipeline is running strong
but fr clean-shaven is such a rare look these days that it's oft-times more striking than a big ol' lumberjack beard, at least imo.
Yeah it sucks lol. in the early 2000s while I was a kid, the clean cut abercrombie type look was in and that's kind of what I grew into, now it's mostly all giant lumberjack hipster beards. You are spot on
Yeah, it's fairly brutal for a lot of dudes how normal bushy lumberjack beards have become. I don't think this is gonna last that much longer, though. These trends come and go. I still feel for everybody who struggles with a body that doesn't fully match gendered expectations, obviously.
Lol word. Right about the time I hit my 20s is when the trend really took off. Like I said i'm at least glad I have nice thick head of hair. A lot of the dudes with lumberjack beards (not all of course, but a healthy number) seem to be thinning on the scalp.
maybe she's like me and always hated her patchy facial hair until she realized she's a trans woman.
Would that we could swap some scalp hair for facial hair. I'm defnitely not vain enough to be an Elon and get a hair transplant though. I'm mostly fine with it, just sometimes wish I didn't look so college boyish because of lack of facial hair
Same. I am blond with fine hair. The most I can get is a thin pointy beard that looks like a young Colonel Sanders if he was more racist. I'll try again when I'm 30.
I tried so hard to make it work, shaving is such a pain. At least I can be smug vs the beard+thinning hair crowd.
I dislike to the way facial hair looks on my face. I can grow a mustache but my beard does not cover my face properly ( it's light on my cheeks).
But when I shave you can see still the outline of the hair under the skin so you can still tell.
I kind of miss it when I was a teenager and I could shave with no sign of facial hair at all
I can grow one but my wife won't let me, does that count? It did take till I was about thirty till it filled in all the way.
The Racially Fraught History of the American Beard
What follows is the lost story of American facial hair. Like countless other histories, it is rife with contradictions. It begins with white Americans at the time of the Revolution who derided barbering as the work of “inferiors.” It continues with black entrepreneurs who turned it into a source of wealth and prestige. And it concludes with the advent of the beard—a fashion born out of desperation but transformed into a symbol of masculine authority and white supremacy.
If I wanted to I probably could have had a full beard when I was 15. My hair grows really quickly and probably will stick around for a while. My dad grew a massive beard when he was my age and he's in his 60s now with a full head of hair, so I'll probably have hair for a long time to come
are beards useful for cold/wind? I probably woudn't want one anyways because you can just buy a beardski or a normal """covid""" mask to protect yourself from the winter anyways. If I could grow one, I'd probably shave it anyways like the way I already spend DARPA levels of funding on back-alley brazillians. One positive thing about the pandemic era tho is now I have 1000x options in cute mask choices to protect my mouth and nose from the winter winds.
Yes, it's like wearing a scarf all the time except it doesn't cover your nose and lips so not as good.
Also it feels super weird if you have one for a long time and then shave it because you can feel the air moving around on your face and it's cold even in the summer. I guess that's the same if you cut your hair real short though.
My beard is really thick like that as well. I’ve been lasering it for half a year and it’s just like a normal or slightly thinner than normal beard now but it’s wayyy more manageable
Mine's at this perfect in-between where it allows a close shave and stays that way for most of the day, but I could (and have during quarantines) leave it and grow a beard, too.
So, sucks to be y'all, basically :obama-drone:
Mines weird as hell: Stache, chin, neck, and sideburns all grow out to be really thick and it does this thing where it extends both under my eyes and so far up it nearly connects with my eyebrows like a more sparse Jet Black from bebop, but I have like 3 hairs total on my cheeks. I don't grow it out bc of how wack it looks, and the stache n stubble look is what best suits me
I'm finally at the point where I can grow a decent mustache, covid masking helped cover the gross patchy early stages. Now I have something I can twirl a little. While we're on the topic, does anyone have mustache wax suggestions?
