    Don't know if this is worthy of bgrh...

    Anyway. I'd have quite dark brown hair, but the beard i'm growing at he moment is a little too ginger for my liking. the web says it's down to me carrying the ginger gene.

    Am i destined to always have a ginger beard, or will it grow out

    You're beard shall always be ginger I'm afraid. Thats the least of your worries though. Its the whole, "You're gonna be single for the rest of your life" thing Pighead would be worried about.

    Just be thankful you don't have the 'gingham gene'


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,754 ✭✭✭✭Princess Consuela Bananahammock


    Don't they make beard-dye? You could have it bleach-blond if you want.

    What's the problem with a ginger beard anyway? You're not going to be dating Pighead...

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Most Irish people have a bit of ginger in their beard. I have the slightest tinge of it but I like it. 2 tone beards are class.

    You're doomed. Dooooooooooooomed I tells ya!

    I'm the same. The hair adorning my head and my-er- other head are dark brown, but there is a certain glint of gingervitus in my beard.


    I was lead to believe gingervanity was double recessive, surely it shouldnt show?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,817 ✭✭✭✭The Hill Billy


    My beard is black, blonde & ginge. I couldn't give a toss though.

    This thread has a hint of lavender about it - Fashion & Appearance or PI, tbh. ;)

    If you're anything like me you will have a ginger beard, regardless of what colour your hair.

    If you don't like this then I'm afraid either Grecian 200 for beards or else a shave are the only options open to you.

    I think I'll grow a George Michael circa 1995 beard

    i got a big fluffy red beard! big fluffy red webbos too :D gotta love em


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,247 ✭✭✭✭6th


    I have white in my beard but thankfully no ginger chunks.

    Now chunks would be a problem. Irrespecitve of coulour, if one has chunks in his/her beard, this can be off-putting.

    3-tone beards are better. (See above.)

    I'm in the same boat lad. Jet black, light brown onto slight tinge of ginger.

    Because you have one? :confused:


    anyway, ginger is beautiful and I'll ignore anyone who says different!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,821 ✭✭✭useful_contacts


    my fellas parents are both ginger(now i mean the kinda ginger in this pic) and somehow he came out with jet black hair- but when he grows a beard theres hints of ginger in it- he looks so odd:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68,317 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    Many non-ginger Irish men grow ginger beards and sideburns so they don't forget where they come from.

    Mine grows black. Jet black.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,484 ✭✭✭JIZZLORD


    dammit, i was hoping its just a phase. the last 2 times i grew one it went awfully ginger.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,467 ✭✭✭Wazdakka


    I have blonde hair and my beard had (since shaved it off) a definate tinge of the ginge..

    Confused the hell outta me..

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,577 ✭✭✭StormWarrior


    Why do men grow beards? It ain't pretty!

    Especially a ginger one, that's just wrong.

    If i were to grow a beard it would take 2 months and it'd just be one of those fluffy white horrible beards, consider yourself lucky!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,857 ✭✭✭✭Dave!


    If I try grow a beard it turns out green and blonde and ginger and all sorts of colours........ not cool


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 28,128 ✭✭✭✭Mossy Monk


    Hint of ginger for me too. Not bothered really as my hair colour is brown.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,815 ✭✭✭bantee


    My hair is practically black but the gingeritis showed up when I grew a beard. It didn't look right after a while, so got rid of it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,990 ✭✭✭Cool_CM


    I also have ginger in my beard, at first I blamed my parents, myself and basically hit out at all those around me.
    Then I saw this

    I have a 3 tone beard...lol

    It's ginger-y brown near the front with some blond hairs and then kinda fades back to brown towards by sideburns, then my hair is brown with a hint of blond near the front. It's all natural, not dyed. lol :p

    The hubby hates ginger haired people and if they have a beard even worse. One day while I was driving home from Tesco the hubby flung a cabbage at a brown haired ginger bearded cyclist sending him crashing to the ground. Within seconds a garda car appeared with flashing lights behind us. The made my hubby apologise to the ginger beard and they then asked the ginger did he want to press charges, luckily he didnt so the hubby got off with a warning. He hates them even more now

    A simple fall can kill a man. That man may have been married, may have had kids. Your husband sounds like a fcuking scumbag.

    Also, so you were driving along and your husband happened to have a cabbage on his lap?
