While it is dumb, how does this differ from a hair transplant to the top of the head? Also the increased rates may be indicative of a rise in the number of people who are getting sex changes so that their sex matches their gender and not just a bunch of hipsters.

To me it sucks, living in Bama we obviously have a lot of Rednecks and beards have been in style since the civil war here. Now bring on duck dynasty and all the hipsters and we have this.

Trust me, Brooklyn hipsters getting beard implants has NOTHING to do with Duck Dynasty.

Had a full beard since the Flames playoff run in 2004, I just thought that it looked good on me so I kept it. I have no idea when the trend started, but I assume I had a beard "pre-trend". I did, however, inspire at least 4 or 5 different friends of mine to grow full beards because they liked the way it looked on me, but I think only 1 or 2 stuck with it.

BTW, quick tip, if you actually do grow a beard make sure you use conditioner at least once a week to keep it soft, otherwise the ladies will hate it.

I have a full beard because it hides my double chin. And it is far easier than losing weight on my fat Polak face.

Also true for me, but Scottish/French in my case.

My fat polak face is in the exact same boat. I went 33 years without any facial hair and have spent the last 16 smoke free months with a "beard". I miss my clean shaven face but need to lose the chins first.

Nothing is more Hipster than a redneck that dislikes gay people.

I can only grow facial hair on the right side of my face - I **** you not. Someone give me $8500 for this life saving procedure.

Beard WITH camo = Duck Dynasty/redneck
Beard WITHOUT camo = Hipsters

Hope that clears it up for you MMF.

Maybe "coolness" takes a while to travel south, but having a beard has been a staple of the hipster for at least a decade.
