I couldn’t grow a beard until my mid thirties. Don’t be discouraged if you’re younger and don’t have full growth yet.
Fucking genetics

Sprry but using Pedro Pascal as the “bad facial hair” example?? Are you nuts???

Huh.
Well of course I know that beard on the left!
It’s on me!
Same length and growth pattern, was actually going to trim it a bit this weekend, but uh, despite my head hair being basically the same as Ewan’s (color, waviness), my main jaw line and sideburns and jet black like Pedro, as are my eyebrows… but my moustache is about the same color as Ewan’s.
… So clearly what that means is I as attractive as both of them combined =p hahaha! /s

This is me, except replace the second photo with Robin Williams in Jumanji after he comes out of the game.

You can work with that. I got a shitty lower heavy beard that doesn’t connect my mustache correctly.
On the sides of my lips it just won’t grow. You can hopefully trim yours down to get dapper.

My moustache only grows on the sides of my lips lmao
Apeman42@lemmy.world 1 hour ago
I feel you. I have to let the far sides of my mustache grow out longer than the rest so they bridge the gap to the beard.

You could achieve the one in the left with some grooming then, yea?
themeatbridge@lemmy.world 2 hours ago
Nah, the hairs don’t cooperate. If I cut away all the curly strands that stick out, I have no beard.

Everyone on my dad’s side has nice thick full heads of hair. My grandfather on my mom’s side was bald. Guess how I ended up….

Yeah, I knew we needed to look at hair.
Mother’s-father is always the indicator. (Morfar?)

On the flip side, now it’s easier to be a twink :3

Actually you can use minoxidil on the face and get more beard hair, beards aren’t effected by amgrogenic alopecia so it stays when you stop applying minoxidil

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE
Now I’ve just gotta find where I can fucking get it and how much it is.
omgboom@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 hours ago
Just buy generic on Amazon or whatever. It does take a good amount of time before you see results. I’ve been doing it for a year and have considerably more facial hair now than before, but it was 3-6 months before I saw any difference
ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 3 hours ago
I tried it for several months, but I saw no change.

Minoxidil can cause heart palpitations so that’s not the best idea, that can get the oil in your eyes, mouth, and cuts

Is there something that does the reverse? I’m not personally a fan of the look and feel of facial hair (for myself that is), and I find it annoying having to shave all the time only for the hair to come right back before too long.

THANK YOU! I’m slowly getting a widow’s peak and desperately want the full Riker beard before I lose my hairline. I’ll see if can get some of that stuff!
birdwing@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 hours ago
Wouldn’t finasteride also work? Or is that more for the hairline?
ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net 4 hours ago
Finasteride only really effects hair on the scalp, since beard hairs isn’t effected by the chemical that finasteride protects against.

I have pretty much exactly McGregor’s beard in this pic. I never realized it could be the object of beardly ambitions, and I never seriously considered the distress of a man who isn’t able to have the beard he wants. Thanks for the new point of view…

I’m in my mid forties, I have the beard growing ability of a 13 year old girl. I would fucking love to be able to grow a thick, bushy beard. But alas.
Guess my massive wang makes up for it.

wow. so it’s long enough to pass for a beard
