>5 Reasons Beards are NOT a Fad | Eric Bandholz
—Eric Bandholz
•
Beards aren't going anywhere, fellas. And here are five reasons why.
-
1. Growing a beard is natural. If you do nothing, you're going to have a beard. You have to actively shave off a beard to avoid having one. Growing a beard is just part of being a dude.
-
2. You have style options. There are so many beard and facial hair options, to say it's just a trend is just flying in the face of logic.
-
3. Science. It's been proven bearded faces are actually cleaner than completely shaven faces, and can even protect you from sun damage and the elements. You can't deny science.
-
4. Changing work environments. Careers have changed and shifted from corporate entities to individuals, and if you're good at what you do, your beard has no bearing on your skills.
-
5. Follow the money. There's a market for beard care, and there's no way companies are going to let profits disappear - the beard culture is here to stay.
