Facial Hair
“Chins without beards deserve no honor.”
-Spanish Proverb
All that hair growing on your chin and along your jawline (which never seems to stop growing) is often the scourge of many men. Facial hair often grows unevenly due to the state of your general health, diet and sleep patterns, but sometimes you just don’t have as many hair follicles on your cheeks as you do on your chin or neck. Some men must also contend with different types of hair, both in color and consistency, in different areas. As man has progressed, facial hair (or the lack of it) has played a role both in conveying stature and self-expression within society.

FACIAL HAIR FACT
A beard has often been a sign of wisdom and maturity of thought. This is because facial hair and beard growth does not come to fruition until the end of puberty. As a result, a man with a full beard has often been seen as an experienced and worldly man.
