Negative comments from family

[twhitman]

Do what makes you happy.  Mine is buzzed really short with a #1 guard...and alot of the older people in my family keep urging me to grow it back out to where its longer and have bangs (even though that looks like crap on me).  Its your head, and your the one whos gotta live with it...in the long run only your opinion matters.

When I used to grow a winter beard in my 20's one of my grandmothers would always comment harshly. In her upbringing I guess facial hair was associated with heathenism that no upstanding Christian would display. I'd just nod my head and keep the beard.

I think most people are cool with the sly look once they get used to you

In time (actually not that long) people and family come to realized it is you. There is an initial shock but that wears off

Has Grams ever seen a picture of Jesus, you know, with the beard?
