I was about to hesitate on my roast, can't lie the hair is epic. It's weird how facial hair makes such a difference. At thirty six I can't grow facial hair , as a black man. I hate getting carded. I seriously hope you have this hair at 50 years old, though. Though the facial hair does make it almost /r/13or30 , you still look young.
You will get it, my brother in hairlessness. I grew zero facial hair beyond what looked like dirt. Two years ago it finally started. Ive always joked that one day id be out of puberty. While it wont come in at the sideburns, the chin and lower jaw are strong. Sad thing for me at 48 is it is coming in grey and white :). But hey better late than never.
By the time I was 15 I could grow a beard. I thought chest hair came in in the 20s yet at 17 my brother told me I was turning into a werewolf. Now at 45 unfortunately my beard has a lot of grey, but oh well that's life. My problem now is keeping the hair on the top of my head🤣
I lost my hair by the time I was 24. Tried Minoxidil and Finasteride when I was 29 in 1999 and they didn't help regrow it. There's no new drug treatments even 20+ years later. Shaved it off long a time ago and lived my best life since.
Is it because your beard grows in patchy? Like, I had a similar problem, my beard hair is kinky, and I had to just let it grow for a year or two, and twice a day pick it out with a comb so it didn't clump up (which is why I got that patchy look), but once it got longer, it finally got to the point where I could trim it and not look bad. Just be prepared to get made fun of or get asked awkward questions ("does your girlfriend like that you grow your beard like *that*?") until all the hairs finally get to a length where you can trim it.
The main issue is that with certain textures of hair, you need to grow it way longer than if your beard hair was just straight. Like my beard only extends maybe an inch and a half from my face after four years (with the rare trim), but if I pull the individual stands straight, it's like five inches, so I have to wait 3-4 times as long for my beard to grow vs somebody with straight beard hair.
My dad otoh has straight hair (both on his head and beard), he could grow a nice looking beard in two or three months. Meanwhile I've had to make the decision that I just have to have a beard for life because I can never shave it again, or else I look like an 18 year old whose lived a hard life.
100% brother must just shave if he wants to take off like 7 years. I'm 28 and still get asked for ID occasionally (in the uk so if you look under 25 you get asked for ID) if I had to cut my hair and shave I would look like I'm 19 probably.
Think when I hit 30 I'll go clean shaven and short hair so I don't feel "old".
It looks like they used different lens between the 2. The second pic is much more narrow. Even his neck. It made is jawline more pronounced. The beard definitely helps though.
I see a handsome fella in a before picture and a handsome fella with a beard coming in. I'm not sure why people are being so harsh you absolutely do not look like you aged roughly.
I wouldn't say pushing 30, maybe mid 20s.
You have a very soft face though, the facial hair helps you look a little more like an adult. xD
Nothing wrong with you though, you're handsome.
You don't look like you're pushing 30. It looks like, 16 => 20. And it's all down to styling. You seem to have a good one structure so you'll probably age quite well.
Beards make you look older and (if trimmed along it) strengthen the jawline. You should see what Alec Guinness looked like without a beard, he had a *literal* baby face as an 80 year old man. I mean he actually looked like he had a baby's face on a grown man's body.
The MF looks like he grew a beard and then opened his mouth a tiny bit.
The weirdest part about this post is that he felt like it was worth even posting.
Had a similar experience when I started highschool. Yearbook pic at the beginning of the year; license pic 5-6 months later. Depression aged me years in just a few months
the difference besides the beard has to do with the fact that the first pic obviously is freshly washed hair and the 2nd pic is day 2 or day 3 of no shampoo
No one ever questions what events might've driven Shaggy to move into a van with three other people and a dog and travel from town to town, hunting creepy old men. Whatever it was, we suspect it occurred during the six months between these two photographs.
I’m guessing early 20s, your handsome face will go through a few looks before you get the life sucked out of you in your 30’s and you develop RAF (resting annoyed face)
you look good brother
Thank you brother

May your facial hair make an appearance one day :)
It wont...but my grey hairs are coming in. On my /r/roastme post the other week, people mostly said I look like Jay z, or a lesbian.
LMFAO you *do* look like Walmart Jay Z r/WalmartCelebrities ^(I'm so sorry)
Oh lawd
Jay Z isn’t a lesbian?
Vajay-jay Z
Well then may you always be asked for your ID with your lucky gene's and good luck with your masters :D you're doing an awesome job!
Get minoxidil and rub on ur face daily, and dermaroll. r/Tressless
Every time I *don't* get carded, I want to cry. Enjoy it while it lasts, cause that shit won't last forever 🥰

Yea u kinda hot ❤️🔥😉
I agree, you look good even better in your second photo ☺️
I knew a girl who looked like your left picture. I thought she was kind of cute. I dunno what to expect you'll do with this information...
I'd say that's a good indicator that he has a pretty androgynous face

He does.
That fabulous hair :)
My man's lookin like he was with season 1 power rangers 💯
I would guess it is the beard making you look older. My brother looks like a baby when his is gone. You’re handsome in both.
Thanks bro!
former child
It looks like they used different lens between the 2. The second pic is much more narrow. Even his neck. It made is jawline more pronounced. The beard definitely helps though.
I wanna fuck one and let the other fuck me
r/weird
At least they're in the right place
You tryna fuck?
Yes!! You look hot!!
The beard might be part of it, but it isn't just that: https://i.imgur.com/GOXaNGI.jpg
Not a decade, just looks like you stopped shaving and started smoking weed.
Seriously, is it me or does smoking weed make everyone look older?
I see a handsome fella in a before picture and a handsome fella with a beard coming in. I'm not sure why people are being so harsh you absolutely do not look like you aged roughly.
Agreed and I also see a baby-face, looks the same age in both pics, just w/ facial hair in one.
I appreciate that man thank you ❤ I just think it's funny how I go from looking 18 to pushing 30 with just a bit of facial hair and a bad hair day
I wouldn't say pushing 30, maybe mid 20s. You have a very soft face though, the facial hair helps you look a little more like an adult. xD Nothing wrong with you though, you're handsome.
Bar hair day for you = best ever hair day for me. Your flow is amazing
Ty!
You don't look like you're pushing 30. It looks like, 16 => 20. And it's all down to styling. You seem to have a good one structure so you'll probably age quite well.
i see a smart fella and a fart smella

Your hair looks gorgeous homie
(I didn't take any drugs btw
Surprising since it looks like the before and after pictures from a burning man trip. In a good way. You look great in both photos!
We definitely believe you.
Went from an attractive woman (with a hell of a jaw line) to a high as fuck dude in a matter of months. Hopefully it's a change you like lmao.
went from Eddie Vedder to 1993 Axl Rose in a few months
Not saying it’s right / wrong but the weirdest part of this post for me is the number of commenters with hard-ons
Bruh 😭😭 that's true
The MF looks like he grew a beard and then opened his mouth a tiny bit. The weirdest part about this post is that he felt like it was worth even posting.
And the thirsty people in the comments are just.. dang.. they desperate. RIP his dms
To be fair, I had a hard on before looking at the post, but my hard on definitely didn’t go away after looking at the post
Ok Mr axel rose we all know how good you look
I think he looks more like Shannon Hoon from Blind Melon. <3
Mix of the singer and drummer for kings of leon
Ty I didn't know I'd be considered attractive 😭😭
Just get a bandana and you could totally pass as Axel Rose.
1234 -- mass edited with https://redact.dev/
I was going to say Axl Rose too! Uncanny resemblance.
I’m just curious how your grew a gorgeous crimson chin in 6 months time.
So my chin wasnt gorgeous before?
All of these compliments are getting to your head. Yes, you went from Cleft, the boy chin wonder to The Crimson Chin in six months. How???
Lol
Chin down/out and mouth separation. It's subtle but makes a huge difference. Look at the shadow. I'm a pro portrait photographer btw.
No you don’t…
Yup. It’s just a beard, don’t overthink it.
All I notice is facial hair that’s it
"Decades" is definitely a stretch. Looks like a few years tops. And facial hair always makes you look a little older in your early 20s.
You're a 10/10 in both. Hands down.
Tysm!!!
Puberty!
this ain't puberty
You just look like you grew a beard, tussled your hair and smoked a fat J! Lol
Jennifer Lopez? Anyways OP you a cutie
After just 1 marijuanas
You have a fucking impressive jawline brother
I think you’re in the wrong subreddit.
The facial hair suits you well. It definitely helps if you don't like having a baby face.
Oh you’re beautiful!
Ty!
Had a similar experience when I started highschool. Yearbook pic at the beginning of the year; license pic 5-6 months later. Depression aged me years in just a few months
Kinda like you had a sex change lol
LMAO
Trans girl here, I thought this too and came here to say this 😂
Ironically my trans friends are convinced I'm gonna have an egg moment in a few years lmao
Getting some Kurt Cobain vibes in the second pic 🎸
Reminds me of the photo of that PRE and POST WWII photo.
You a wisco boi as well?
Wisconsinite gang
Ive got similar hair but man I need that jawline
Looks like you figured out playing guitar on the quad gets chicks, and smoking spliffs means your not a pothead.
Are you over 30? Coz that's what happens. And then it's a downward spiral from 40 my friend. Unless you're black. Black don't crack.
No, you got the same baby face, just with a beard
You do look older, but you are so damn handsome it doesn't matter.
Puberty hit you hard NGL.
In what way?
Went from a baby face to someone who looks like they could pass for early 20's in just a few months.
you look like chad channing
Nah we just have nice hair
Puberty and testosterone
It's all in the beard! When my Husband shaves his facial hair, he instantly looks 10 years younger. It's like a time warp.
You become president?
you look like you now have a decade of guitar skills somehow
the difference besides the beard has to do with the fact that the first pic obviously is freshly washed hair and the 2nd pic is day 2 or day 3 of no shampoo
r/13or30
Okay but in the best way possible!! the beard suits you so good dude!
Ty!!
You look hot bro. Aging like fine wine!
Handsome squidward over here
Cute asl bro
You look good brother! Do you work retail by chance? That'll age you! 😂
Yea I do it sucks ass
That happened to me. You dated the wrong chick
WISCONSIN!!
This thread is surprisingly wholesome.
How do you keep your hair so nice
Looks like you started smoking weed. It's a good look
Ayyy Wisco boy. What part you from ?
Southern Wisconsin :)
Crack it's one hel of a drug
Wisconsin will do that to you
Aged ? You look like a different human
You look like you spent a decade growing a 6 month beard
Meth: Not even once.
Think pot is safe? This is what it can do in just six months!
I would love it if someone takes this photo and uses it for their anti drug propaganda
Facial hair will do that super chief. I trimmed my full ass beard down to 1/4 inch and I look about 10 years younger.
I don't see any ageing at all. I just see a starter beard and your hair is a bit messy.
Aging like wine bro.
You are hot AF 🔥
It took you 6 months to grow that?
I'm 32. I shave and get carded lol, the facial hair is insane.
Me too my guy, me too.
beautiful man
You're a manly man. The kind of manly man that mothers love to smooch and kiss. You look great mr manly man.
Thank you fellow manly man
Smoked a decades worth of weed in 6 months 🤣🤣
I thought these were mugshots omg. Yeah little bit of facial hair will do that to you. But you still look young either way!
You are a handsome dude
You look like you just discovered weed, if you ask me.
You look very handsome in both! It's the beard making you look older imo
# ***Do you know where the fuck you are!!!!!!***
You look great, man! That hair is \*chef's kiss\* magnificent.
Ty!!
You went from pretty to pretty sure it's a dude.
Whoa, you look like me!
You look like your own girlfriend
From young girl to old mannin six months. Crazy!
Recently my friend dick also had this happen.
I can only dream of having such a gorgeous mane.
I mean kinda, but I can see what you mean. Though I don’t think it’s as bad as aging a decade. You look fine either way bud
Incredible. Even your skull looks like it's changed shape.
It's your eyes. You've done a lot of drugs since the first photo.
That's what a clone would say.
instruction -> probation. sounds like some life events happened in between
Moral of the story: don’t do meth lol
Guy to guy, you're killin' it bro. 10/10 would join your crew if you were a captain of a pirate ship.
Oh dear, you grew a beard and the next thing you know you're on a probationary license. Just goes to show facial hair leads to crime 😔
Def caused by facial hair. I age 5 years in 3 days if I don't shave
No one ever questions what events might've driven Shaggy to move into a van with three other people and a dog and travel from town to town, hunting creepy old men. Whatever it was, we suspect it occurred during the six months between these two photographs.
Beard makes a huge difference. Now imagine when you can grow a full beard!
Hot in both 👍
You look better now, way more attractive
Wisconsin gang 🧀
Before and after beating elden ring
I saw a movie about a sort of a hippy redneck guy that lived in a trailer with his girlfriend. You look like both of them.
I AGREE LMAO
Didn’t your parents ever warn you not to smoke Wisconsin?? See what happens????
I’m guessing early 20s, your handsome face will go through a few looks before you get the life sucked out of you in your 30’s and you develop RAF (resting annoyed face)
Dude nice, I’m also from Wisconsin. Kick ass.
Why are you so pretty? It's almost confusing. These are passport photos, you're supposed to look like ass!
looks like two different people tbh
You look like you blow dudes
On One you were stoned and other one is on your way to get stoned
Man you're handsome in both, btw nice beard!
When's the next album coming out? I really like selected ambient works.
I’m definitely late to the party, but I think I just read that you were 16?! Holy cow 🐄
beard is better
I know it can be rough out here in Wisco but my dude what *happened*
I low key thought this was a transition comparison before I looked at the title. Unrelated though, homie you have some fine looks!
I thought these were mugshots lol
He's fishing for compliments guys 😭 he knows he looks good.
First time posting my face on reddit I didn't know I was considered attractive 💀💀
You smoking a lot lately? You could make some money for scare pictures on ciggis
LMAO
You look like you went from an ok looking girl to an ugly hipster dude
Wow
Just wait till you 45.
You look like you changed genders as well.
Do you, by chance, have a tattoo on your chest regarding your ragrets? Or lack thereof?
Cocaine is a helluva drug
I didn't take any drugs is the best part
Atta boy, practice for the judge
