Title: What Is Proper Name For My Chin Strap ?
Post by: stasiu on June 22, 2013, 09:38:26 PM

Hey Slys and Slyettes !

Just posted new avatar pic of my split chin strap growth. 

Is there a proper name for this style ?

Actually, fellow SBG "smoothsailing" gave me the idea and encouragement.

Couple young girls at work out center call it "bad ass look" with my bald head.

haha -- when girls in their early 20's tell a guy almost age 58 something like that ... WOW !

Ya - got some greyish with the blondish chin strap hair.  Should I color it darker ?

Thanks for reading plus your comments !

Anyone else wanna try this ?

Split Goatee. Gives your look a little character. I have no opinion on color.

I've seen a lot of beard style names, but none that exactly match what you and Smoothsailing have going.  I would agree with jdcsky, and call it a split goatee, but you can name it whatever you like.  Great to create a new style.  Your color looks fine as is, but if you want it darker, go for it.  Just so you know, beard hair grows quickly and the roots are very noticeable, so it requires regular maintenance to keep the roots from showing too much, especially if there is a large contrast in the color.

My beard's natural color is almost completely white in the goatee/mustache/sideburn areas, and dark on my cheeks, so I color it all dark.  It requires coloring at least weekly, sometimes with a touch-up in between to cover the most noticeable roots.

Stasiu, I think it looks great! For lack of a better term, I guess I will have to say a split goatee too.

"Semper aliquid novi calvus adferre."

Probably the Latin is not correct, but certainly your affect is uncommon and new.  Let's say that the best word is "bibarbus."  Hi, Bi!
