I need your guys honest opinions.

as you can see from my avatar ive recently grown a pretty long beard (about 2 inches). should i trim it like i used to have it or keep it? all my friends are saying it needs trimmed, but i kind of like it for some reason.

[tomgallagher]

Here's the rule partner. If you like it keep it.

I usually come down on the side of trimming, but I like it the way it is.  Suits you much better than the chinstrap beard, BTW.

You should grow it longer.  Then braid it, that would frikken rock!

Mine's so dang gray that I usually trim it fairly short.

[GASlick]

I'm not a fan of facial hair, mainly because I can't grow any!  LOL

Looks fine to me the way it is.

i was actually thinking of doing that lol. although its not the most conservative look.

I'm not a fan of the braided look but if  you want to do it, go for it.  You don't need a "conservative" look at age 20.   Right now you can get away with pretty much anything.  That won't always be the case, so enjoy yourself while you can.

Go for it bro.  What you need to learn is ...you need to do what makes you feel good.  Looks fine to me.  I am not a fan of longer beards myself but it looks good on others who do.  Good Luck

[baldmancometh]

Dude It looks great as is. I'd say no on braids but that's just me. You got a Scott Ian thing started right now. lol

[Stu]

I think it kinda suits you the way it is.  It also looks like you have a pretty full beard, so I would be curious how you would look with a trimmed full beard vs. the chin strap.  Like the others have said, you're young, so now's the time to try whatever you feel like.

Whatever makes you the most confident.

[Kratos]

Keep it, I'm actually praying that mine eventually gets to that length, it's taking way too long. Looks good brother 

[The Scottish Ambassador]

Whatever floats your boat! Go for it

Or you can do something like I did about 8 or 9 years ago.  I had my goatee almost 3 inches long and I would change it regularly, gelled into one spike or two, and I was dying it also.  That was only for a summer and unfortunately I don't have any pics, but it WAS unique...

It looks cool.  I like that length, but not sure about it being longer still: you'll have to ask our opinions when it gets longer!

Just always do what YOU want, when it comes to appearance, that's what I say.  It don't matter what others think in the end.  But its lookin good at the moment
