Through the years, men have changed their hair to have various styles. The fashion has gone from crew cuts to long hair to no hair.
Mustaches have been around a long time, even though some say a mustache hides a weak upper lip.
Currently, various types of beards are in fashion. Most are adornments. Many take a lot of care.
Some say beards are worn to make you appear knowledgeable and learned. Other tailored beards are to make you look upscale. Sloppy beards are just sloppy.
My view is that it doesn't matter how you groom your head - it's what's inside your head that counts.
