Self-Loathing Beardless Men Are Getting Facial Hair Transplants
LatestJust in case you’re under the impression that if you lived life as a man, your days would be free of the burdensome weight of having to be attractive, stop, drop and roll because that is certainly not the case. The latest concern for men is whether or not they are beardly enough.
According to this article in the Daily Mail that’s substantiated by a lot of highly scientific data i.e. an interview with one plastic surgeon, the number of men in the United Kingdom who have been choosing to get beard transplants has “rocketed” over the year. One doctor who did the first facial hair transplant way back in the ’90s says he has seen “a six-fold year on year increase in the amount of men having surgery to boost their facial follicles over the last five years.” Those numbers don’t lie!
Who should we fault for this growing proliferation of men who cry at night onto their smooth faces or substandard beards? Firstly, celebrities, like Brad Pitt or David Beckham, who are prized for their luscious facial locks. Also apparently this dude Jeremy Paxman, a host for the BBC show Newsnight who is a man who typically appears clean shaven but last week shocked the United Kingdom with his new summer beard.
