so, I basically have a pretty cool beard at this point. I was commenting to someone that I never know how to trim it, and he straight-up said my beard is see-through. What is that shit. He has some kind of insane waxed-mustache/goatee/mutton-chops combination going on, though, so I do not know what to think.

I think you should not listen to a man with more than two kinds of facial hair.

[theinevitable]

yeah, for real.
He was all "back-handed-compliment" about it, too. He said "you're lucky, having see-through beards is really hip right now."

anyway, whatever. I am actually debating whether to shave it. Mostly because for some reason once it gets past a certain length, some parts of it turn red, and that isn't my favorite.

Enjoy it while it lasts.  My beard was black and red - all the red is now gray/white.  The black didn't change so much.

In an unusual turn of events, the goatee area of my beard is turning white. Im 22.

[theinevitable]

yeah, um, I shaved that thing off. I forgot about how last time I had a beard and then shaved it, everyone told me I looked much better without it.

I like the fact that the longer I have a beard, the more red it is.

It is sort of a nice reminder of the genetic diversity lingering beneath my strictly-swarthy veneer.

Pedro's beard turns reddish in the summertime.  His older brother has red hair, though, so apparently those genes aren't lurking too near the bottom of the pool. 

Until my early twenties, I was naturally quite blonde, although my hair can best be described now as "dishwater" at best.  (At worst, it's "penis brown.")  This was offset, however, by the unfortunate darkness and coarseness of the hair on my legs and...ahem...other places...which would ordinarily lead one to the conclusion that the hair on my head was artificially lightened.  Which it wasn't. 

Now, of course, the carpet matches the drapes (so to speak -- or it would, were it not for diligent womanscaping), although it doesn't take much in the way of direct sun or chemical treatments to convince my hair to go blonde again.  So I'm thinking of bleaching it, especially now that it's so short, and going all Annie Lennox for the summer.

Only when he ponies up the extra cash. 

I have often considered paying people to shave me. I hate it. Hate hate hate.

I can usually go 36 hours without shaving and go into work without people looking at me funny. I have very dark, coarse hair, which doesn't help.

Could you grow a beard?

Indeed.

My caretaker has the same type of hair as you, JL.  I have pics of her in college and high school looking very surfer/valleygirl which was entirely due to a childhood spent in southern California (although one valley over from San Fernando), immersed in chlorinated poolwater.  Now that she dwells in the land of eternal fog (and works indoors to boot) and spends her spare time whelping my love-children, dishwater is the closest description.  Or, as she calls it, "blah".  Two of my younger brothers were towheads as chilluns, and the other was redheaded.  The blondes have darkened to "stable-straw".  We all avoid the sun as much as we can since we're pigment-challenged.

I have a goatee. If I let it go too long without busting out the trimmer, it gives me hope that I could go Mountain Man if I wanted to.

Mrs. Haus has informed me that if I stop shaving, she stops shaving.

[V-Adore]

See, I'm in the opposite place as jl and Jaydub's other half: I've always been blonde, and I was told all my childhood by my father "oh, it'll darken up; mine did." (My father was tow-headed his entire childhood but is a dark brunette now on the hair he's got left.) Somehow, though, it never actually happened. I'm definitely brassy, occasionally fading towards the light brown in winter, but I appear to be a perma-blonde.

The ironic thing about it is that my mother has had my hair color all along, and somehow it never occurred to us that I might have gotten her hair. Presumably that's because I'm more or less a female clone of my father otherwise, but still, wow.
