IF YOU HAVE CURLY/THICK HAIR, DOES YOUR BEARD KEEP MORE WIND OUT?


I think it does. I have super curly hair and my beard grows slowly so it's always really sketchy looking after a couple days.

Like reminiscent of girls in 70s porn.
This is why I keep it shaved unless I'm not leaving the house for a week.
But anyway I think beard warmth is less about insulation and more about wind blockage, so thick hair probably has the advantage here.

I've had goatees, mustaches, mutton chops and neck beards. I never think they're keeping me warm until I shave them off. Then I'm freezing.

One thing I've found, is that as they get longer, there's a greater risk of them getting caught in stuff. Headphones are the worst. But I've had trouble with backpacks/guitar straps and if you like chewing on pens that ends up being a problem too.

Well when I have shaved of my beard entirely and I am going out in the winter, it's very cold on my chin! :joy:

I never notice that it keeps my face warm...until I shave. And then my face feels cold for a day or two. Even if it's not that cold out, I can feel the difference! :joy: BEARDS!

I've got a decent beard going on at the moment, and it seems to keep my face warmer. Though I guess the only way I'd know for sure is if I shaved it off. And THAT isn't happening. No matter how much my girlfriend begs. :cool:

I'm in kind of the same boat. Except instead of staying clean-shaven, I shave about once every week or two. So I've got a constant cycle of scraggle face-fuzz coming and going.

If you have a beard, do mothers herd their children away from you outside of schools? :animal:

Everyone herds away from me; I don't trim or 'style' my beard at all, it's completely natural, so I basically look like a hobo. Fine with me :lol:

Hey man, you should be proud! That's one fine Goatee.

My beard comes through in really weird fucking patches so unless I hide inside for a week it looks retarded, hence i'm clean shaven... just not worth the hassle.
