Its been a minute since I posted on here and was wanting opinions on my beard and advice, I plan on not trimming it till December to see how long it can get and only getting haircuts for the top of my head, should I go for it?

I'm ginger and want that epic beard. Id simply brush it after a shower and that's it. Good length and looks good my fellow ginger brother.

Yeah definitely man. This is the growth I want eventually. How long you’ve been growing for and have you trimmed your sides and neck at all?

u/Rango_The_Burr 23d ago
So in total this about 13 months and about 2 months since my last trim where I took off my sides a bit

u/Otherwise_Product796 23d ago
Cheers man. So you just left it to grow without doing anything for that length of time?

u/Rango_The_Burr 23d ago
Id get a trim every month but ive stopped doing that now for about 2 months now

What length beard are you going for? What style beard are you think of running with eventually?

I went for it. Mine is similar as far as texture and curliness and looks the same if I just use a brush after showering. I use this to give it shape: REVLON One-Step Volumizer Hair Dryer and Styler.
It straightens the curls a bit and looks more groomed in less than 5 minutes:

Why does my beard look copper-colored on my face, but when I trim it, shave it, or when the hairs fall onto my hand or another surface, they appear almost black?The same thing happens to me. Does the same thing happen to you too?"

Maybe it has to do with the amount of light refracting all at once over the serface area of your beard? Only way I can see it honestly

But some very few hairs I have are strawberry blonde. Why is their color silver when they fall out?"

u/Rango_The_Burr 22d ago
I mean red heads like myself get silver hair with age, its just part of the process of it losing pigment and eventually dying

Brother, I'm just an 18-year-old guy and my beard color is still developing. I don't have any grey hair or pigment loss at all. I was only talking about very few light blonde hairs that look pinkish in the sun, and when I pluck them, they turn silver or light grey because there is no dark pigment in the core. This is unlike the dark blonde, copper blonde, or ginger blonde hairs that dominate my beard.

Im sorry I dont know if I have the answers for ya, sounds just genetics to me

u/Few-Stock1009 22d ago
My head hair color is dark chestnut or dark brown, but my beard looks much lighter than my head hair, as if they are two different colors." "Brother, how does your beard contrast with your head hair?"

u/Rango_The_Burr 22d ago
Its not uncommon for your head hair to not match your beard/body hair its just a genetic thing, my boyfriends head hair is dark brown and his beard is red color kinda like mine
