    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'

    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.

    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?

    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

    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.

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

    Mine grows black. Jet black.

    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!

    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.

    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

    And realised things could be much worse
