White Beard
« on: September 17, 2018, 01:36:57 PM »
Bald with white beard. Any suggestions on what to do to change White to salt and pepper. Looking for something that takes little time and easy to use.

I think that would be difficult to do salt and pepper and look good. There are some guys here that completely color their beards. I have thought about dying mine, but decided not to.

I turn 65 in December, and have pretty much decided to shave my beard off on my birthday. It's been about 40 years since I was clean shaven, and I'm curious how I would look.
Bald by choice, and loving it!

Thanks for the feedback. Don’t want to use dye. I thought there was a way to darken the white beard but didn’t want it all black.

I'm sure a good hair stylist could do it, but it would be expensive to maintain. When I had a lot of grey hair, my ex-wife would reverse frost it. Used one of those caps and pulled stands of hair threw and color them dark. I think they do it now with foil.

I'm down with Reddog and the full white beard.

I am at the end of the salt and pepper stage, and can't wait until it goes all white!

I agree with nuts , shaving would be a mistake.

Yes, I'm thinking you guys are right. I never like it when I trim it short. Maybe I'll grow the full beard in again, or stop shaving for a couple weeks and great myself to a barbershop headshave.

I can't grow a thick beard either and just keep the face shaved down to short stubble. It always looked good with my flattop and now shaved head. Give it a try it will look good on you.

@reddog I think a full beard would suit you!

Blagadan, I just grew in the full beard for a couple months. It's not as full on the cheeks as the goatee is, and it  didn't look that good. So a few days ago I trimmed it back to the goatee. As a guy with a round face, it looks thinner without the full beard.

Your probably right , because the goatee makes the face look longer, and not wider.
