There's a lot of things, I don't understand
Why so many people lie, It's the hurt I hide that fuels, The fire inside me
Will I always feel this way
So empty
So estranged?

5. Terminal Beard
One trend, in particular, does not favour a shorter growth. The terminal beard showcases the maximum beard length for any gentleman. When your beard stops growing – length-wise – that’s a terminal beard, but no two beards are alike. So what’s “terminal” for you may be something else for the next guy. Among long beard styles, this is the final frontier, according to Beard Brand.
You probably would end up looking like Ryan Hurst or even this gent!
