Beards? I'm not so sure.


I noticed the trend over the past few years of hipster guys growing gruff facial hair. For a minute there it was like every guy wanted to look like a hippy or Devendra Banhart, although I'm not sure there's a real distinction between the two.
Don't get me wrong, plenty of people have facial hair AND practice good hygiene. So it doesn't look like there is necessarily a direct correlation. Either you're the type of person who walks around with food crud on your facial hair, or you're not. Period.
Anyway, over the past few days, I've come across several guides to beards/facial hair online completely by accident. I thought, "huh?" Because it seemed like this trend had subsided. Maybe not. Maybe it's already back. Who knows. But here I am, sharing them with you. Can you believe there's a hierarchy?
All about beards is quite the Web site, featuring such highlights as "Beards on the street: the beards of today, maybe from your neighborhood," and "Add more beards to the world! Spread the word about beards!"
Uhh, that's really odd.
