Lockdown beards must stay; Barbers shops must stay closed
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that with the Government attempting to ease the lockdown in England this week, people should resist pressure to shave off their lockdown beards and return to work until there is clear guidance and a framework in place as to how this can be done.
The new normal must include guarantees that make people feel it’s safe to return to workplaces and safe to do so while still wearing their lockdown beards
BLF Organiser Keith Flett, safety must be key to any return to work but so must guarantees that the days of shaving before going to work are at an end. We are calling on the Government to keep barbers shops closed and furloughed for the foreseeable future and to underline that shaving foam is not an essential item. A majority of lockdown beard wearers surveyed back our position and we continue to press the matter with the Government.
Working From Home beard Week 10. How to maintain your beard
1 Check twice daily for any split ends or misplaced hairs and remove them
2 Wash & comb through the beard every day at least once, preferably more often.
3 To maintain hair quality beard oils or balms are used by some, while others marinate briefly in imperial stout or porter.
4 Occasional pruning will help to strengthen hair growth and make sure you desired style is maintained. Pruning where required and appropriate should be on a weekly review basis
