I tried Bald and Bearded
« on: December 10, 2013, 08:30:27 PM »
Hey guys, I gave the full beard 30 days (actually 40 days) and today I shaved it off.  I got a lot of complements on it, but I found that my hair is too curly so it comes off as patchy around my cheeks.  I may try again in a couple of months, but today I decided it was time to go.

Anyone else find that their beard hair is much curlier than their hair on their head?

I have to keep mine trimmed because as it gets longer, it wants to curl around the edges... and I don't like it like that.

I agree with Razor.... we want to see pictures.    -lol

Mine does get curly and tangly on the sides....I trim once a month to keep it manageable.

Beard hair often has a more curly texture than scalp hair.  Of course we need pictures, but you really need more time than 40 days to adjust to a beard.  Some conditioner and brushing may help tame it somewhat, but the curl also adds some character and fullness.

That's why I never let my beard get much longer than this awful photo I just took with my laptop. Any longer and it starts doing weird curly things that I don't find gives it character, but just makes it look unkempt and generally awful.

I'd love to be able to grow out a huge Santa-beard like marsh, but it just isn't in my genes.

Getting too much grey in my beard to grow one .... I'd look like Father Time!

Actually, my head hair was curlier than my facial hair.

This is the only picture that I can find at the moment.  I will see if anyone else was able to capture me with a beard.

@Tyler-you could pull of the look if you wanted to long term (nice family photo)! @SlyBear, yours looks pretty good too! (I take it that the picture was taken at a reverse angle, right?)

I agree with the other gentlemen, Tyler. It looked good.
