Men behaving beardly

Over the years, I have been noticing a very beard trend among guys and chose to overlook it. But now things are getting very beard and I feel like getting this off my chest before I feel beard.

Usher 222
American bird, bad, beard

I understand as people “mature” tend to change their look but it should be for the better, not for the worse, or for the beard for that matter. I used to plait my hair myself but when I was on the verge of turning 24, I decided to do away with my cornrows and people commented on how pleasantly and handsomely different I look with my bald head.

I cannot claim South Africans are following on the beard steps of US Rnb sensation Usher Raymond because this has been going on in SA for quite some time now.

There was a time Usher looked really clean and smart with a very clean face. However, that has since changed as he is now growing his beard and hair.

Usher 1
Clean face and a diplomatic goatee

Look how great he used to look? Clean-shaven and all. Yeah yeah, big ups to young Usher!

And then? What happened? Was he doing a musical where he played a bird? OMG, isn’t there a barbershop in his hood? Anyone who can happen to bump into him when they go to the US, please tell him I cut my hair at my barber for only R10.00? that’s like $1.25 to him.

Gabriel 2
Things were so beard for Chief Azwindindi as Mulalo waged war against his chieftaincy

Then back in 2008, Muvhango had a storyline for actor Gabriel Temudzani who plays Chief Azwindini that needed him to look defeated in a royal power battle and had to look depressed and carefree. Him looking beard worked for the storyline and served its purpose. See Usher, you need a reason to look bad, sorry, beard.

Gabriel 1
Looking ok but that lil goatee should go


Look at how clean now vhafhuwi looks. Yes, this is Gabriel that we are used to. But he can also do away with those little things around his chin, please. Yes, can that goatee please just vanish?

Cleo 2
I almost mistook him for a hobo when I was googling his pics and I looked at my phrase thinking I typed a wrong one

Cheepers creepers! What in the world is happening with Dj Cleo’s face? Does that look like a very dangerous and beard bush in rural Bushbuckridge? I think next to Noord Taxi Rank there is barber on a street corner who charges only R5.00 for shaving one’s bad beard.

Cleo 4
Cleaner times

Look at how great he used to look. This was clean.

Cleo 3
At this year's SAMAs. But still looking very beard

Cleo 1
Surely he still wanna look like this. If Arthur is holding him randsome, please free the poor guy toe!

Shona 1
Not that beard

Actor Shona Ferguson is one of my favourite actors in the world and I will admit it’s simply because he’s married to Connie that I came to like his work. He has never given us an idea that his face will one day look clean. No, Mr Connie Ferguson has always had a bad beard. But here it looks a bit trimmed but you can tell he looks unapologetically beard.

Shona 2
Nominated for beard guy of the year kwaaaaaaaaaa lol

Now, this is the very beard. Shona and his goatee bandla?!

Dj Sbu 2

Friends, things are beard like this

And of course there is also that guy who present that SABC1 show which I forgot its name. I think I forgot his name too. Kana ba re ke mang, yes akere le re ke Dj Sbu. I gather he used to be the “it” boy of Egolihood. This is him at his prime. 

Dj Sbu

My daughter was crying the other day when I was watching a Saturday evening show with her. Now I know why.

As soon as he cancelled his gym membership, it seems he also cancelled all his visits to his barber. This is not a pretty sight. Thathan’ ikhava nonke nina.

We understand these people written about here can protest and say I wanna look my age. But isn’t looking young a clear indication that you are taking care of yourself and is actually a compliment?

George Bush, bush, Bushbuckridge....

This is very beard shem, mina I will never look that beard ngisize nkosi yami

Whenever I am reading your articles Maki, I always picture you infront of your computer/laptop having a cup of hot chocolate and then going like this... "bandla" "akere" "mina" "shem"... Then I picture your facial express... and lastly try to read your article in your voice *which I happen not to even know what it sounds like*

Omg I just had to log in and say that just yesterday my man and I had a huge fight over his beard. He is very gifted in the looks department, but all of a sudden, he doesnt shave his hair or his beard. I said to him "This is not the man I fell in love with" and he said "Oh so do you love me or my looks.".... I was like wtf? Neway, he said just to spite me he will only shave in Novemberfor the festive season....nx men! And I said I dont want to seen anywhere public with his and his beard! Lapho when it comes to pubic hair he is number one, there is never a trace of izinza "excuse my french"...*goes back to silent blogging*

Hi Ms Nonnyfied (waving like a crazy blonde), Nonsta oka Nonny, hello my baby, Hi Honey! Hi my lesbian lover! I stil luv u in commas babygirl

Sorry Maki i just couldn't control myself after seeing her name. Alrite....

Hello my beautiful bloggers,

Oh BEARDS! Funny I always pronounce this word more than once coz i believe i mispronounce it. Anyway AMADEVU are not good especailly if you are dark in completion. Yes maybe Brad Prit might look cute but DJ Cleo & Sbu ingathi zinkunzi zebhokhwe. Thank God Sbu has finally shaven off. Maybe i'll make time and watch his show. I mean whats fashionable about that anyway? 

I still remember my father (oh what a gentleman, rest in peace paps). We didnt have gillette or abo Walh around that time but oh boy he used to wake up every Sunday morning and shave, wash his underwears, handkerchiefs(sp) and socks. Would love to have a man like that.
