being a ginger, i have a red beard... but there is currently a battle of epic proportions going on in my beard. you see about 2 yrs ago, a little white spot appeared on the lower left chin area on my beard. it started out about the size of a dime, then grew to about the size of a quarter. then, one appeared on the other side. the new spot grew faster then the first. they then started to spread to the middle of my beard, like a virus. before long, some of the red hair at the bottom of my chin was resisting the two sides, it was hard fought battle, but the spots won... and joined forces. now that they are one, they are begining to attack the rest of my beard... i do not know how long it has left.
here is an illustration of the attack:
(p.s. my gf wanted me to get just for men beard dye at one point to color in the white... but they are a racist company and do not make dye for red beards!)
