I just gave myself mutton chops again. Oh I loves my mutton chops. As soon as I get them grown out better I'll post a picture of them, but who else has the most awesome power of growing hair on ones face?

I'm trying to grow a goatee, myself.

Something very unusual: My Dad tried this a long time ago, and the hair on his chinny-chin-chin ended up being three or four different colors. No joke; all naturally grown. Last time I tried this it appeared that mine was doing the same thing.

My boyfriend's best friend has a beard that's a different color than his hair, no dye or anything. As for my boyfriend, he's got like, five different colors of facial hair o_O

Rainbow facial hair...
I don't think facial hair is for everybody, though. Like me, for instance

There are only three kinds of facial hair that are acceptable.

A commanding 'stache.

A viking beard vis a vie Allfather Odin.

Wise old man beard, a la Confuscius.

Yeah... I'm working on that facial hair. I'll have to get back to you in, oh say, 3 years?

As am I... I've started shaving revently... I even cut myself! Yes! The problem is nobody thinks I tell the truth, as my facial hair has no pigment- It's blond, so it blends with my skin.

My beard is getting a bit too unruly. I actually have to comb it now, or otherwise it'll stick up in like 8 different places.

Think of an upside-down bedhead.

That'd be flippin' awesome...

Unruly beard... I'm picturing something like Gimli...

Peach fuzz!! n_n kekekeke I'm sure you'll get that crustache soon! :-o

Probably ten. It takes a number of years to grow a commanding and respectable beard.


Now I'm waiting for a zerg rush.

Thanks.

my goatee tends to come in goldish + reddish + brownish + some white....takes no time at all to grow either,so I spend a fortune on razor blades.I tend to sculpt my chops,mo and goatee for different plays,to suit the period the play was set in.
if I stop shaving today,within 1 week it'll be around an inch long.my GF hates it.

really? Mine too.

and what is a crustache?

You'll find out when you're fifteen!

And generally, unless you're exceptionally dark-haired, your first facial hair will be nearly invisible. It darkens and thickens and lengthens with age. Like a good wine or a black man.

I have noticed that. Which leads me to wonder, is all new hair blonde but then slowly turns brown? Ah, science, is there any mystery you cannot solve. Don't answer that.

No, not all hair.

But facial hair is, for the most part, transparent (for the sake of example, the hair on your forehead). Your first beardstache is the nigh-invisible hair trying to grow out properly, and so it is the wrong colour. It darkens when the pigmented hair grows through.

...My Uncle has a Grizzly Adams beard.....

Im not gonna grow a beard untill im say... like 60 so my hair is white. Them im gonna get a zeus like of beard. Or like the kung fu china guy on the mountain in Kill bill. His beard + moustache is just plain awsome.

I had to shave my soul patch for my cousnin's wedding, but now that it's over I'm gonna grow it back.

Sideburns.

I could use a good beard trimmer. Any reccomendations?

I should start shaving my face and taking testosterone pills so I can be a bearded woman! n_n And then I'll put it into braids and be a dwarf chick! :-o

What ever the hair dresser uses, I have to say that they know what they are doing better that most any other person.

Sadly, I'm Puerto Rican, so I spend the better portion of my personal time attempting to REMOVE hair, not growing it out. I applaud your lot in life and mourn my own.

I love a guy with a little goatee or soul patch thingy, and a light short sideburn. Mostly though I like scruffy-haven't-shaved-in-a-day-or-two-but-I-will-soon; mrawr! Everything else on your body better be pretty damn smooth and bare, though. I ain't all over no lumberjacks!

Zeus has style, it's true.


Last wedding I went to, I seemed like a hung over derelict person.

I was none of those things (not even a person), which I found very amusing.


That's actually a myth.

Shaving your hair does not make it grow in thicker. This got started when young men, vainly shaving their three hairs, noticed that over time it grew in thicker. They thought it was because of the shaving. It's not. You get hairier as you get older.

Shaving has no effect on the growth.


Uf you choose to exclude yourself from a viking's ravishings, that's your loss.

If you take identical twins and set them next to each other, one who shaves their legs and on who has never in their life put a razor to the hairs, the one who shaves will have much thicker and darker leg hair while the one who doesn't shave has lighter, less course hair. o_O I've seen it!

And my sister shaved her stomach and arm hair when she was little, her stomach is now hairy kinda like a guys', and she has to continually shave her arm hairs otherwise they get too man-hairy o_O

Spyder- I've said it before somewhere I think, but... I like male hair. I think men with facial hair are more handsome than those without it, provided they keep it groomed. Crazy hermit style beards just don't do it, but well maintained beards are nice in all styles. 'Staches only seem odd to me too, I'm not sure why. As for body hair in men, I can't say I find it attractive exactly, however my hubby is pretty hairy and I find that I enjoy caressing and playing with his hairiness. (I've never claimed I wasn't an odd one.)
As for me, I prefer less hair to more except on my head. I've considered laser hair removal for some time, but I wonder if there might not be side effects we don't know yet... In any event, that is my opinion.

slows it down quite a bit.

Damn, never knew Verbose was such an expert on 'staches. Anyways, I fondly remember my first shave, only problem now is my dreams of a goatee will have to be put off till I get out of highschool

no facial hair at your school?

Well....they allow it. However, due to my rather slow rate of mustache growing, and the fact that everyone kinda lumps the mustcahioed kids into one group and then shuns them, it's in my best interests to go clean shaven.

Heh, if I could grow facial hair, and kids at my school did that (Prolly do) I would still do that, to seperate myself from teh masses.

Blending with the masses hides one from bitchy assistant principals.

Bah. My vice-principal is bitchy. She just hides it with telling us she wants everything for us. She spouts out the same crap most teachers do, 'cept she does it with almost no sincerity, and she spouts it every lunchtime. Also, if They let me I would wear my headband inside of the school. But they don't, for what would be a perfectly fine reason anywhere else. It's against gangs or something. In hippy-ville. Nope, I see nothing wrong with that picture.

I'm ranting, aren't I?

You betcha.

It makes the face lopsided.

Unless you're Freddy Mercury or Dan McNinja, then it's pure win.


Verbose is an expert on everything.


No, ranting has some semblance of a theme.

Part of me wants to upload a picture of my manly full red beard. If you want your facial hair to come in really thick, shave daily for about 3 months. As it starts to grow, use conditioner on your face to keep it from being stiff and itchy.

what if you're still working on facial hair? Will the shaving for three months thing still work

I'm irritated, because now that I shaved myself it's not growing back... Aaah!

lol...

It will start to come in darker, and you'll get rid of that "peachfuzz" effect. Check the "post your own pics" for a trimmed version of my manly beard.

And by shaving daily (make sure you use something that soothes the skin so you don't mess your face up) you keep the hair coming in evenly, so you don't look like a crop circle.

But I wan't to have aliens leaving messages on my head!

soothes the skin... Like barbasol?

if it's medicated yes, that is what i normally used. Plus it left the face silky smooth... and the ladies like that almost as much as a rugged manly beard.

Awsome! Now I need to learn how to shave without ripping open my face... I'll have to start over a weekend so I don't look like a dork at school

Might I suggest an electric razor them? Doesn't get as close but cuts you much less.

I would, but I'm broke till christmas

Uh oh, my beard's trying to escape from my face. It's TRIMMIN' TIME!!

But do barbershops trim beards for you?

My facial hair is too thick to shave with a razor (Mach 3/Quattro). When I try, I get about 10 strokes, then it stars pulling the hair out and hurts like a MF. I can only use clippers, though I am thinking of using a straight razor...but that's scary. Suffice it to say, I have a goatee/mustache to avoid having to shave a lot. When I do shave, I STILL have a 5 o-clock shadow...it sucks...

Now I have a goatee and mustache, sometimes I go with the full beard (the first time was because I didn't feel like shaving, but it didn't look bad). I ALMOST shaved off the facial hair the other day ... but I couldn't go through with it.
