The story speaks for itself . Beard has traditionally been a large part of the man’s identity. The hairy face decoration has for several centuries helped to dictate mature and more classic beard has been a part of the man’s uniform.
The Musketeers , the Hungarian hussars , the British army . Just to name a few. But also in Denmark , we have seen a growing trend of beard growth. It is no longer just hipsters and rock musicians who are allowed to grow their beard  with inspiration for the seventies. It has now also been generally recognized to grow a beard in both politics and business world.

“I started to grow my beard in my young years as an activist . Back then it was just a matter of getting it as far as the head possible. It sits well not like this everyday , usually it’s just a long beard that goes down above the navel . But bustle has always styled my beard itself. I usually use six hours to put it . 6 hours with cheap hairspray and a hair dryer , you get this result. “
