Happy Monday my fellow blog readers! Here's hoping your weekend was one to remember for all the right reasons. Today, as the monday morning blues begins to take effect i wanted to reach out and discuss a few known subjects you may or may not have known already about our facial hair. So let us begin today's blog, which is smartly titled 4 Things You Probably Didn't Know About Beards Until Now...
FACIAL HAIR IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE!
Here's a rather random beard related fact, yet a serious pointer none the less, but did you know your face fur is extremely flammable? I kid you not, I wasn't fully aware at just how quick a man's facial hair can be engulfed by flames if you get a little too close to a naked flame, or in my case a family barbeque.
As the good old saying goes 'if you're going to play with fire you are going to get burt' has never rung so true for us beardos. It takes only a matter of seconds for a naked flame to destroy facial hair that probably took you weeks in not months to grow out to start with. If you Google far enough on the interwebs you'll unearth some crazy mother-fudger who actually set his face fur alight on purpose. The internet is a whole host of crazy!
YOUR BEARDS LENGTH IS USUALLY PREDETERMINED BEFORE YOU EVEN BEGAN GROWING!
It is a little unknown debatable fact that every man's face forest has a pre-mapped length of which it can possibly grow to. Although this may seem to be somewhat accurate, it is also heavily debated as facial hair never really completely stops growing, although it may slow down its growth rate considerably low.
There are also naturally sourced supplements such as biotin that can prove a huge advantage to help you continue to grow good balance of body hair growth rate, so one mans fuzz never has to truly be over, despite what the so called professionals may say.
YOUR FACE FUZZ CAN GROW OUT IN AN ARRAY OF DIFFERENT SHADES OF COLOUR!
Have you ever noticed that your facial hair usually grows out in a different colour to what the hair on your head may be? That's perfectly normal and is to be expected with our face fuzz.
The colour of our hair, from tip to toe heavily depends on our inherited genetics from both of our parents. So, whilst you were a teeny tiny fetus swimming away in the safety of your mothers womb, your body was well ahead of the game, predetermining how your hair will grow, and as to what shade it may become. Now, if that isn't astounding in itself then I don't know what is!
HAVING A BEARD DOESN'T INSTANTLY MAKE YOU EXTRAORDINARY!
Throughout my time here as the chief beard blogger at 'The Beard Struggle' I've been fortunate to talk about our beards, a lot. A lot being the biggest understatement I have ever made.
I've since come to learn that a man with a beard isn't automatically an awesome guy or any more or less of a man. Yes, he may look as dapper as the next, but underneath one's beard we are all very much similar, and still have to make life choices, be them good or bad. There seems to be a wide misconception that a man with a beard is granted some sort of status which raises his game above another, and take it from me, this just is not the case.
Yes, when one bearded fellow should meet another, they may share similar hobbies and interests besides growing out their facial hair, but even hidden beneath the safety blanket of a beard a person can still be an asshole, so don't judge a man based on souley nothing but his beard. Because you might not always like what you see later on down the line.
So, that sees Mondays beard blog come to a sweet close for today my friends. As always be sure to leave us your thoughts and feedback in the comments section you'll find provided below.
And until next time, Beard on Brothers, Beard on...
