Natural State of Hair and beard Part 1

• This blog post is about what should be our natural state of hair.
• Yes everybody's got hair on top of their heads unless they have gone bald or chose to remain bald.
• I have written plenty about how our facial hair i.e. beard should be in earlier blog posts.
• In this post I will club hair and beard.
• But about beard I will write in brief here. Hair follows later.
• The beard should be maintained if one goes all the way. If one maintains full beards.
• Just shaving off moustache is not acceptable according to me.
• Because if you can afford to shave the moustache why leave rest of the face.
• It only shows stubbornness on you part.
• You should shave fully;
• Else not shave at all.
• If you do not shave you can use trimmer because using scissor on your own face is kind of risky and  you may cut your own face or lips in the process.
• Trimmer is safer.
• Then when you use trimmer what length should you leave the beard is it 0.5 mm, 1 mm, 2 mm or 5 mm. You will always be in confusion.
• Then if you have white hair growing out of your beard then what will you do?
• You can apply color. But if beard is too small then the coloring is useless as white hair will come again very fast.
• You can make it grow to some decent size let us say 5 mm and then color it.
• But anyone seeing your face from close up can see the white hair below as coloring may only be effective for top.
• So option is to shave completely.
• That is simpler, shave once every 24 hours.
• Just like you have bath or brush your teeth just do the shaving.
• But if you have no problem showing your white hair in your beard then no need to shave.
• One thing is certain if you die today or any day then the beard will not go with you.
• Beard will remain with your body while your "soul will get released" as per belief.
• So I think that there is no problem in shaving because if you die today it does not matter whether you were clean shaven or had a beard.
• Even if you were clean shaven you would still have a very small amount of "beard" let us say 0.1 or 0.2 mm.
• Thus to "afterlife" the beard will not follow you.
• And you will not carry your beard.
• It will just be one of your "earthly possessions" which you leave behind and it will be destroyed in due time depending on whether you are cremated or buried.
• So ultimately keeping or having the beard or shaving is dependent on the fact whether you are capable (to shave or not) or willing or can afford it (water supply, shaving kit, blade or barber) or are too lazy to not do it.
• Thus it is a personal decision and should be left to the choice of the individual.
• But the beard will show your age because as you age the beard will turn whiter and whiter and whether you feel good about it is upto you.
• The next post I will continue with hair details.
