Beard Transplants

DNA Info New York recently reported that Facial Hair Transplants are a growing trend among “hipsters” from “Williamsburg to Park Slope.”  Really?  Is this really a thing?  There are people so desperate for facial hair that they’re actually paying doctors to rip it from their head and stick it in their cheeks?  Way harsh!

As far as I can tell Brooklyn is in no shortage for epic beards.  I can’t roll my long board down the street without being caught in a thick net of manly face locks. 

My bros and I don’t often enter into facial hair discussions, but I don’t believe any are struggling with cheek and neck baldness.  Sure, I’ve met the odd dude who is only bothered to shave their peach fuzz once a month.  You know what I call that?  One lucky motherfucker!  My five o’clock shadow has a five o’clock shadow.  In fact I’m now thinking of selling my excess facial hair to those less fortunate.  No, not donating—selling.  A dude has got to eat.

I’ve come up with two ideas to spare these hair bare gents from expensive trips to the goatee doc.  1) The comb under—think chinstrap starting somewhere above the sideburn.  2) Go through puberty. 

That’s all I’ve come up with so far, but I think they’re both pretty viable answers to help abate this “growing trend.”
