Yesterday I passed a barbershop and saw ads on their wall outside of men with beards and short hair. It is a revival or saving electricity ?

There is a time while growing a beard that it looks like shit.

Most of the people shave it off to not go through it.

But the pandemic meant people could go for weeks without seeing an other human. Which is the perfect time to grow a beard and get over the awkward phase without getting laughed at too much.

Can confirm, grew beard during lockdown, never went back!

Same. Still haven't learned how to style it but it's still better than the face I had before

I grew out my hair instead, looked like shit but now I know.

Started growing mine during no-shave November 2019, and then we shut down for COVID. It was perfect timing.
