My hair's on what most people I meet would call the extreme end of size spectrum.
Kinda like a Jewfro, but with longer hair. And no, I'm not Jewish.
I kinda like it, in part because it's different, and in part because I can sorta hide my face inside it, to avoid people.
Bottom line, if I didn't shave my facial hair, I would look something like Sasquatch, so there you go.
I've often considered growing a proper beard with all that entails, and I'm narrowed down on what I'd want it to look like.
Just haven't got enough hair under the chin area to really do it right, hence why I've never grown one.
And if I were to, I'd be cutting my hair down to size, due to the aforementioned Sasquatch thing.
