If you are a Nigerian staying in any of the major cities, then i take it you must have noticed that many men now find it trendy to keep their beards. Infact i am certain you know one or more men who have full grown beard complimented with a BALD head.
For the purpose of this article, i will label this trend "the role swap". Why so you may ask? The head is the part of a man's body that normally grows much hair while we shave some or all of the hair in the jaw/cheek region. Now that the head is shaved bald while the beards are grown full, it is an obvious case of role swapping. Abi no be so?
The role swap started with celeb rappers like Rick Ross leading the pack. today, legendar Uncle Mavin Sapp dots a huge beard i never thought i could see on a pastor/artiste of his kind. Now it has not only become very acceptable, it is trendy thing to do for naija men and . Any wedding, church or mall you go, you must find the role swappers with their swag. Taking one step at a time like hair from the beards would drop if they walk too fast. On their faces, the pride of achieving the impossible. In their minds singing, "don't you wish your boyfriend had beards like me". Rapper 2shot actually went on to tweet this a while back. He told his female followers he is certain they wish their men had beards like him. For his mind, eh?
While i have no grudge with the role swappers, i think it is important you keep what makes you look good and not cause you can grow beards. I have seen some beards grown that makes one wanna puke. If it makes you look good, then by every means grow it and enjoy the looks. A very good side to this trend is that it will help men who are growing bald cover up the defect with another area of strength which God has given them- BEARDS.
And whatever happens many men, please don't bring back the thick moustache trend. Tank U!
