Guide to growing a Working From Home beard: Week 4 Decision Time
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that with many working from home, and barbers closed, the numbers of people growing beards has increased significantly. It has previously provided a 6 step guide on how to do this.
With many work meetings now taking place virtually via Skype or Zoom a working from home beard can add gravitas to the wearers on-line presence.
The campaigners say that with a Working From Home beard now at Week 4 it will be for many, decision time. The question to be determined in the next few days is whether the beard is suitable in style, substance and length for it to stay
BLF Organiser Keith Flett, even organic beards need to be kept regularly under review. Week 4 of a Working From Home beard is a time for a serious review of how the beard is going and whether progress is acceptable or whether remedial work is required.
Working From Home beard. How to assess progress
1 Carry out an initial check for split hair ends or hair growth where it is not suitable for style
2 An organic beard grows naturally. Check for length. An unstyled beard might be 3 inches long from the lower lip or more (in time)
3 If you have been aiming to grow a beard of a certain style check from progress and shape and prune accordingly.
4 Check for broad equality of hair growth across the beard. If there are small gaps or under developed areas it may be worth reviewing the style of beard to suit.
5 Only the individual can decide it the beard ‘works’ or if it needs to be reviewed further or even shaved off and re-grown. However, remember, a beard is for life not just for lockdown
