Storm Franklin: Beard Wearers warned of possible follicle damage from high winds
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that as high winds caused by Storm Franklin hit the UK beard wearers are strongly advised to take special care of their beards.
The campaigners say that while danger to life and limb is the central issue when extreme weather hits, a secondary concern for organic beard wearers is that exposing the beard to high and blustery winds may blow the beard out of shape and can cause permanent hair and cause serious follicle damage in some cases.
The BLF advises the following precautions:
Only venture out if absolutely necessary (i.e. to visit the pub)
If venturing out secure the beard follicles to the face by wearing a securely fitting snood.
In all other cases stay indoors and wait for the wind to drop
BLF organiser Keith Flett said, the answer is most definitely not blowin’ in the wind. Storm Franklin poses the threat of serious follicle damage. We urge the hirsute to take care out there if they do venture out
