I'm in that dilemma these days myself. I have always been clean-shaven, but I have a naturally boy-ish face and look far younger than my age. I really want to grow a beard so that I look more age appropriate but really don't have the patience of having to go through the awkward stage of week three/four of not shaving.
Well beards are for men, not for boys. If you were a real man, then you would have the patience to grow one.I'm in that dilemma these days myself.

If you have the ability to grow one then you should. It's growing for a reason. It won't look odd if you groom it well. Some people just need more grooming then others.If you can grow a good one like that then yes go for it. If you don't have a naturally strong beard than just don't. It looks odd.
Yea bro beards are awesomeWell kept beards are the way forward. I look 19 when I shave :/ I have supported a beard for a few months and love it. Takes like 5 minutes in the morrning to clean it and then I am ready to go![]()
Personally, I look good in a beard, well, a lot more masculine. It helps my beard being a little brown/ gingerish as it looks quite cool.
True, but it shouldn't be only for fashion. It's a part of life.Beards are in big time these days. Messi has one, Misbah has one, Thor has one, looks like so does Aquaman, kohli, and most NBA, NFLers do too. Trump and Kim Jong Un are two well known clean shaven men these days, if that doesn't convince you to grow a beard I dont know what will![]()
Yeah, it makes an average to below-average looking guy appear good looking, the women love too especially brown girls.
I dont know about some of the comments here. My wife hates my beard, and she thinks I look better without it. According to her I look like a bum when I have a full beard.
I thought this thread would be about Moeen![]()
I'm afraid you're wrong. Beards are not a trend. We have been growing them since the beginning of time. And they will continue to grow until some nerd comes along with his "next generation" technology.No I am not keen on a beard. It's okay if you're in your 20's, after that it makes a man ten years older then his real age. Its just a trend at the moment that will pass like all fashions do.
Yea I will stick with that Azhar Ali type length until I am in my 30sFor sure.
I only have a goatee at the moment and can't grow the sides, but if I can at some point in the future, I'd love to have a full beard, somewhere between the Shahid Afridi/Jose Bautista beard length. Not longer than that.

Then I will go full Moeen Ali![]()
Hahaha, that 3rd one has fake beard and mustache, but actually looks damning;
People are confused about whether its real or not but I can tell its not!
Ahsan Khan cant grow such a thick beard so yes, it has to be fake.
I wanna grow a beard but I always shave after a couple days of growth cause it doesn't look right, longest I went without shaving was a week and I looked really scruffy but nowhere getting a proper beard. I'll just till i'm older and hopefully the beard growth will kick in.
Every desi boy has this now and if you have beard like alpha but act like a nervous wreck then it makes it worse.
Beards were also "in" back in the late 60's and early70's. At that time the flamboyant batsman Wasim Raja had a very manly thick beard. Iconic Pakistan TV actors like Talent Hussain and Shafi Muhammad had beards. Beatles in the late 60's and 70's era only and people like Eric Clapton and Cat Stevens pretty much consistently, kept beards. They were the sign of musculinity, self assurance and sobriety. A chick magnet or rather a chick fur like magnet
Unfortunately in the 80's beards got hijacked by the islamic extremists starting from the Afghan mujadadeen's. Not that Mullah's never had beards before but theirs were the long wavy unruly type. Other than the charismatic Afghan leader Ahmed Shah Massoud with his Che Guevara style facial stylings, the rest of the lot made it hard for the fashionistas to adopt the style and not be mistaken for an extremist.
Glad to see beards being taken back from the hands of religious folks by the style gurus of today. I particularly like Fawad Khan's beard. He was so ordinary looking without it. They can really make a big difference on the right face.
I long to grow a beard one day as well. I grow it for 4-5 days and then the itching and scratching starts. Maybe one day I will be able to fulfill this dream but till then, I just go by with a sad pathetic looking trimmed goatee. A tragic compromise between clean shaven and full beard.

This footballer's beard and moustache is something....
Looks like sikh without a pagdi.
I want that look.. wife would probably kill me but that would look awesome! I also might not be able to land a job anywhere except at a biker bar or asa bouncer at a strip joint
Yikes! I have a job interview soon and have a thick beard at the moment. Wondering whether I should shave it all off or trim it down a little :s #LondonInterview
That's the best age. The peak of manhood. 35-45. Around that time.I have had some sort of beard for the last 10 years or so. My father wants me to grow it but currently I am a bit hesitant, I am nearing 40 so I should decide it by now.
How much should I grow it? Here are some recent pics.

fawad khan was extremely good looking without a beard. probably better looking than 99% of the guys but beard makes him look more manly. he looked boyish and young for his age clean shaven. if fawad was ordinary looking without a beard then i guess all of us are extremely ugly creatures lol.
The peak of manhood is 30 imo. I am 41 and take it from me, there is no peaking here, everything on the decline. Even with facial hair. I have not seen anyone's facial hair getting thicker post 25.
Physically, the peak is indeed 20-30. Which why athletes retire from 30-45.
I'm talking combination of other factors such as intellect, character and wisdom.
Another example would be intellect, which peaks at 45-55. Humans are smartest at this age. Their brains have accumulated many information, and they are not too old either.
While wisdom will continue to grow after the age of 30 because most important life experiences are never forgotten unless one goes through memory loss.
This is just a theory I have learned after doing some research.

Matter of perception but I thought he had a very Pappu look without the beard, not ugly or anything but nothing special.
Someone told me your mental capacities are diminished once you start getting hair
Freudian slip. Mental capacities are its purest when we are born, the pollution and unnecessary accumulation of useless trivia starts after that, nothing but decline from their onwards.
What about the skills we acquire overtime? Doesn't that makes us stronger?
One guy who looks awful in a beard is Shahrukh. No matter how long or short he keeps it, how he trims it, how he grooms it, it looks horrible. Just goes to show that not everyone can carry a beard.
I don't have it in me to grow a beard, requires too much patience and determination. In my opinion, I look best with a third day beard. Not much of a beard but you're not exactly clean shaven either.
Hamza Ali Abbasi had an amazing beard!

Beard for me is a religious Islamic symbol and a dear Sunnat. So there are some Ahadees which U need to dig, they say that He Pbuh had small sized beard until 40-50 And than post 55 He Pbuh grew a long one but it was properly shaped unlike today's most Mullah's (Ulema e Soo) wehshee wild unshaped uncultured beard which defames Islamic symbol.
I approve Afridi's beard. For me it's halaal, justified and looks good aswell. I don't consider it unislamic.
For me beard small or long should be kept as per neeyat of Sunnat and not for fashion.
Fawad & Hamza's beard looked good but Hamza shouldn't have opted for unshaped cheeks but Hamza's Mustaches & koochee stole the show indeed.
Danish Taimoor's moustaches and beard are quite decent aswell. Suits him.
So if I am you I will go for Afridi, Fawad or Danish esque beard but permanent one with Neeyat.
But it's entirely upto you.
When I was 17-18 I opted for Jaw line for few months. My Conscience told me it has nothing to do with Islam so I grew a cultured shared 1.5 to 2.0 mm beard from there on Alhamdoulillah with a neeyat of keeping beard lifelong and I stuck with it. I do not rule out growing it longer when I get old but it would be like Misbah when he had kept beard for 2 months. Not beyond that ever. He grew it further.
That's my way. It's your life dear brother and you are free to do anything. Do what you thin.is right and what you like. Men facial hair has value and I carry them with pride![]()
Go for this one if it suits you and then slowly grow it up if you want the normal or the big one

I wanted to grow my beard this year but now my chin hairs have started graying and i look so old in it
What is this beard style called?

Yaar I still can't connect mustache and beard.French cut or goatee. Heard [MENTION=137148]Rayyman[/MENTION] was growing this too as he is fan of Humayyun.
[MENTION=138980]TalentSpotterPk[/MENTION] i love small beard and have never shaved all my life.one day my Mom told me that betaa dont shave ever and told me that one of our villager died few days back and was not looking good with shaved face in coffin.
i carry that advice with me and have started to like my beard though not that long but it is like afridi,s one.my mom always appreciates it.
May Allah give you the strength
Even if you grow it further when you grow old make sure you trim and shape it properly to look elegant and not Wild as like Ulema e Soo (most)
May Allah lead you to a healthy successful righteous long life. Aameen.

if u keep it in good shape and order and not too long they will never do it to you.On the other hand, my parents were threatening me to bleach it out if I didn't shaved it back. Thankfully they're getting used to it now
Also, I was really thinking about giving it up when a 'thulla' (police man) stopped our car (was going with friends) and checked me (only me despite 3-4 people being inside the same car) because I had slightly molvi-like beard.
