Choosing between long hair and a beard

I recently decided to grow my hair out.  I have always had short (clean cut) hair, but also usually rocked some sort of beard.  I really liked the facial hair because I didn’t look homeless since I had a short haircut.  After my hair start growing out (six months since my last haircut), I started looking really bad with a beard.  I look plain homeless with a shaggy head of hair and a scruffy beard.  I realized that the sacrifice that I will have to make in order to have long hair is to stay clean-shaved.  Here are some examples:

Shaggy hair + scruffy beard = homeless:

Long hair + no beard = normal:

Short hair + beard = normal:

So in conclusion, you can’t have your cake and eat it too.  If you want to save time + money by not cutting your hair, you will have to make up for it by shaving more.  If you want to save time by not shaving, you will have to get haircuts!  Bummer!

    Seriously, wtf? Long hair+beard=homeless? Maybe you should go and tell this to… Let’s say Zakk Wylde. He is making more dough than you will ever do.

    Bollocks! I wear a full beard with my long hair drawn back into a ponytail, with a decent hat and jacket and the only problem with my appearance is that I walk around with a perma-scowl because I’m generally somewhat crabby. You can have your cake and eat it too, just be cheerful about it.
