For context, I finally figured out (accepted?) that I’m bi at the ripe old age of 33. I’ve never really expressed any interest in my outward appearance but recently have found myself wanting to do so.

Ok, so now for the question: I came across a blue hair TikTok filter yesterday (pictured) and now I’m hours away from an appointment to bleach, colour and style my hair. Am I making a mistake? Honest feedback is appreciated!

    If I may give an additional suggestion? Maybe let the beard get trimmed too and get some tips on how to maintain that while you‘re at the stylist.

        A few beard tips I’ve picked up from my barber buddy:

        When you shave for length control, use down strokes (no up & down) to encourage the beard direction. You’ll trim the stragglers but well behaved hairs will help to keep it looking more full.

        Use a round-toothed comb to keep it need and detangle, preferably one with two widths between teeth for detangling and styling. They’re inexpensive and easy to find at a pet store, and usually available in all metal for easy cleaning.

        Personally, I like a beard oil or beard butter for conditioning mine post-shower or face washing. It helps to keep it from getting tangled, reduces what gets plucked during combing, and keeps it softer for longer.
