How long have you had your beard?
Ive actually never been clean shaven, so ever since I started growing facial hair in high school I've always had a little something something going on. But I became Muslim in 2010 and since then I have grown my beard out really long and had it short. Right now it's pretty short.

I think they are cool, I can't picture myself clean shaven, that's not my style. My religious beliefs of Islam definitely coincide with my cultural and style preferences./

Not really, my sides haven't fully grown in yet but it's coming, Inshallah.

Well I get asked if I model a lot so I think they like it lol.
Have you ever faced any negativity, discrimination or odd comments in regards to your beard?
Nope.

One time my wife died a strip of my beard a orange color and it kind of made that part get really dry and break off.

My wife puts oil on it, and sometimes I brush it but that's about it.
