The Beard Snob desires status, authority, and class all through their self-pedestalized facial hair. This air of superiority results in silently judging the facial foliage of friends, strangers, and perhaps even their own reflection.

It’s likely you’ll conjure an image of someone you know all too well embodying these unmistakable traits!

Our editorial we’ll embark on a quest to uncover the 8 red flags that may just reveal whether you or a cherished acquaintance harbour a touch of beard snobbery! 🧔🏾

Here are the 8 Beard Snob Red Flags

1. Critiquing Others’ Beards 🚩

Step into a predominately male space like the gym and the beard snob is comparing his beard against the other men while critiquing.  

This behaviour isn’t limited to any specific setting; a beard snob is a beard snob in most settings, social parties or in the office they just must let their thoughts be known.

Whether it’s pointing out uneven growth, sparse patches, or a less-than-perfect shape, they’re always quick to offer unsolicited advice on how to improve someone else’s beard.

2. Exclusive Product Usage Only 🚩

If you find yourself turning up your nose at mainstream brands or insisting that only the most exclusive oils and balms will do for your facial hair, you might be veering into beard snob territory.

Yes, beard snobs make it very apparent to share their beard care products onto others since it worked for them, the conversation turns into an affiliate sales pitch!

Thanks, but no thanks buddy I’ll stick to what I’m using!

3. Gatekeeping Beard Culture 🚩

Beard snobs are notorious gatekeepers of beard culture, believing that only those who meet their strict criteria can truly be considered part of the beard community.

This full sense of ego only increases as they use free time to attend things such as the Moustache Championships and other beard branded events.

Feeling apart of these communities somehow creates the illusion that thoughts on mens beards are the new set standard, effectively shutting out anyone who doesn’t fit their narrow criteria.

4. Name-Dropping 🚩

“Met Rick Ross at the International Beard and Moustache Championships last year, he said my beard is BOSS.” 🙄

Yeah, he just couldn’t wait to tell us about his 5 second interaction he had with Rick Ross over the weekend to solidify his status as a beard authority figure in the friendship group!

Whether it’s dropping the names of obscure beard styles or boasting about the famous beard aficionados they’ve rubbed elbows with, beard snobs love to flaunt their knowledge and connections within the beard community.   

For them, having a well-connected beard is just as important as having a well-groomed one.

5. Inflexible Views on Beard Care 🚩

This is what it would look like in real life, the Beard Snob might dismiss the latest trend in beard oils as a passing fad, unworthy of consideration by any serious beard enthusiast.

Offer them a new, highly reviewed styling balm, and they’ll wave it off, citing allegiance to their one trusted brand, tried, and tested through the years.

Introduce them to a new grooming technique, and they’re likely to meet it with scepticism, if not outright disdain. Their refusal to entertain new ideas in beard care is often met with internal resentment from the snob towards them.

6. Using Beard as Status Symbol 🚩

To a beard snob, a well-maintained beard isn’t just a facial accessory—it’s a status symbol. The thing that keeps them up at night as they google how to grow a beard

Ok maybe a little bit of an exaggeration but you get the point.

They see their beard as a reflection of their masculinity, sophistication, and social standing, and they’re quick to judge others based on the presence or absence of facial hair.

7. Takes Credit for Beard Style Recommendations 🚩

Friends: “Mike your beards really grown, suits you too”

Mike “Thanks man, bought some good beard oil from the beard club”.

Snob “Yeah, I recommended that to Mike and made sure he didn’t buy any of the crap he was using before, plus he also bought the same balm too, so I’ll take the credit”.

Beard snobs love to play the role of the beard guru, doling out style recommendations and grooming tips as if they invented them themselves. They’ll happily take credit.

8. There personal brand and personality – BEARD! 🚩

Meeting new people and immediately drawing attention to their 1 attribute, you guessed it, their beard.

Its how they leverage their online influence so we can see how this could go to their head.

Establishing authority in any domain is a challenge so they make it their life mission, and sometimes, unfortunately, make this all their known for!

Think all the best men in Hollywood with the best beards, now whilst they might be adored for their whiskers there also versatile in their gifts, talents & personalities.

So if your going to be a beard self-obsessed lover just make sure your not a 1 trick pony!

Content Updated in 2024

From stitch cornrows, 2 strand twist, traditional braids & medium length curls, we have documented the best central cee hair moments with our gallery.

Whilst we have predominately covered US rappers with braids today we’re going across the pond detailing UK Based rapper Central Cee and his current hairstyle. 

Central Cee Hair Before and After

central Cee hair before and after

Before (At Time of Debut)

His first mixtape wild west was released in March 2021 along with multiple music videos. His mixtape cover as well as the visuals feature Central Cee hair in off scalp braids. 

After (Current Hairstyle)

For the majority of the masses Central Cee debuted his new look with the release of his song ungrateful. We see the young rapper getting a fade without his braids 

Central Cee Hair Gallery

2 Big Cornrows 

During his braided phase we saw Central Cee alternate between 2 big braids and traditional cornrows. 

2 big braids

Stitch Cornrows

Here we can see Centrals hair are tightly braided close to the scalp, creating neat rows. The braids are typically woven in a straight

The protective style became a signature look for the rapper up until the point he decided to switch for a short curly look.

More cornrow hairstyles for men can be found in our gallery

2 Strand Twists

We also see Cench regularly alternating between the box braids and twists which is evident by the rope like finish!

Off scalp Braids 

His first music cover features his hair in off scalp braids which may be a look most fans recognise him for.

Styled with a middle parting and boxed parts we can see central Cee in majority of his photos in this hairstyle. 

Top knot Hairstyle 

When he took a break from protective styling, we saw him tie his hair in a top knot hair style on occasion.

With his hair not in braids we can identify his hair type as a 2 or 3, this is due to his heritage with his mother being Irish whilst his father being Guyanese. 

Short Curls 

Today we see Central Cee sporting short curls along with a taper fade on the sides. Whilst he could revert back to braids we imagine he’s going to rock the look for a while! 

short curly hair

Use a deep conditioner or hair mask to ensure you lock in the curls!

The curlier your hair, the more additional moisture it requires.

How to Maintain your Braids

Having braids installed is a great feeling as it gives you a new look and confidence. To ensure you maximise your hairs lifeline it’s imperative the proper care and maintenance is applied to your braids. We have provided some tips below to ensure that they stay neat, tidy and clean.

Make sure Braids aren’t too tight

If you experience the pain of tight braids, this is your body informing you they need to be loosened or redone. Not only do tight braids damage your hair but you increase your chances of getting braid bumps and infected follicles which we want to avoid. This could lead to temporary or permanent hair loss, something we want to avoid of course!

Moisturize your scalp

We like to explain it like this, your scalp is an extension of your skin, and therefore it requires hydration and care. A good moisturizing routine helps it keep your hair bouncy, defined and healthy, but most important not dry. Find one best suited for your hair type.

Oil your Scalp

We mostly forget to apply oil on our scalp as were too busy focusing on the ends and length, yet it’s our scalp that hair grows from, therefore an oil routine is super important and non-negotiable.

Ja Morant Hair Journey (Detailed Look) https://heartafact.com/ja-morant-hair/ Thu, 22 Feb 2024 16:21:51 +0000 https://heartafact.com/?p=6602 Outside of his athletic abilities Ja Morant hair has gained attention on social media which inadvertently made him a centre of attention for this unique look.

Content Updated in 2024

Since his NBA debut we have seen Ja Morant hair in real time alternate between an afro, twists and his current hairstyle being traditional dreads.

Our editorial will detail his hair evolution while taking a look at his current hairstyle.

The Best Ja Morant Hairstyles

Ja Morant Hair in an Afro (2019)

The year is 2019 and Ja Morant is a new face on the court. During this time we saw him sport has afro hair along with a taper fade.

While Ja became much more experimental with his hairstyle it all started with the thick afro. Not long after he would begin to put his hair in twists which would then create the foundation for his dreads.

Twists (2020)

Shortly after styling his hair in the afro taper fade he quickly transitioned into styling his hair in twists.  

Ja Morant hair in twists

Not only did the twists present a new look for the player at the time, they were also a great protective style. This would act as the perfect segue into the formation of his dreadlocks.

Interested in the different twists for men? Then check out our editorial in which we covered over 10 styles you can do.

Budding in 2020

During the budding phase, we saw Ja’s new growth puffy and on the fuzzy side. The was the transition away from twists.

Teenage Locs in 2021

At the teenage stage locs start to plump up and develop their form and we also saw colour added for the first time.

Ja Morant Hair at Shoulder Length in 2022

Ja Morant Dreads (2024)

Ja Morant dreads down

Ja Morant’s current hairstyle are traditional dreads.  As we mentioned before not only are dreads enough to make you stand out on the court as most athletes will sport the buzz cut, his dreads feature the front few locs dyed in blue and pink.

While hairstyles may appear to be the norm this was not always the case in the NBA.

In the 2001 All-Star game we saw Allen Iverson rock his famous cornrows and the rest is history.

From James Harden to Ja, we have multiple examples of players with hairstyles on the court which can date back to Allen Iverson’s influence. When you see players in braids, twists or dreadlocks this can all be credited to him.

Semi freeform, braided dreads, bleached, thinning would explain why Lil Wayne Dreads continuously make the headlines.

What makes this even more impactful is the new generation of rappers with dreads he’s inspired due to his cultural impact.

Our editorial covers each stage of Lil Wayne’s Dreads past and present until 2024 today!

How and When did Lil Wayne Dreads Start?

Lil Wayne Dreads throughout the yearsHow: Lil Wayne dreads were initially started by the semi freeform method in 2002.

This would explain his thick hair and roots in his earlier photos. He then transitioned into having his hair maintained at the root.

When: Lil Wayne began his dreads back in 2002 and has been growing his hair for over 20 years at this point.

Within that 20 year period we have seen his hair in a loose afro, curls, cornrows, traditional dreads and free formed.

Lil Wayne Dreads Gallery

Late 90s – 2003
Style at the time – Cornrows and Semi Freefom Dreads

Prior to his starter dreads Wayne can be seen in multiple cornrow hairstyles throughout the late 90s and early 2000s.

starter locs

All archive images of Wayne during the late 90s features his braids styled in multiple ways during his time in the Hot Boyz music group.

Lil Wayne Braids in the late 90s/Early 2000s

His transition began in 2002 when his hair was taken out of cornrows and placed in semi freeform dreads, this would eventually grow into short thick locks.

As time when on his hair began to form and shape into its own pattern due to the minimal manipulation.

2003 – 2006

Style at the time –  Semi Freeform Dreads

With his hair still growing and maturing at this stage we were able to see his hair density increase whilst simultaneously growing in length as they reached his shoulders.

2007 – 2010s

Style at the time –  Traditional Dreads

Now a household name at this point and the period most would deem the peak of his career we saw Wayne’s hair at full maturity with his dreads reaching his back.

long dreads

For most people 2008 is the year Wayne took over the rap world with his album The Carter 3 and in most of the music videos in support of his album we saw his dreads now pencil sized and maintained at the root.

lil wayne long hair

With the resizing of his dreads Wayne began to style his hair in multiple ways from his braids to his 2 strand twists, both trademark looks for the rapper.

2014 – 2015 (Dreads Cut)

Style at the time – Freeform Dreads

In 2014 Wayne had cut his dreads as you can see from his ends. At this point he had been growing them for 12 years.

lil wayne dreads cut off

The decision to cut them was primarily for wanting a new look whilst also being easier to maintain.

As dreads begin to grow in length weight is increased which can be an inconvenience to some.

lil wayne cut dreads

Its also at this point we begin to see Lil Wayne dreads get experimented with bleach and colour with one of the first colours being red at the tips.

2018 – 2022 (Bleached Hair)

Style at the time –  Freeform Dreads & Bleached

 Having cut his dreads in half a few years ago he also joined multiple dreads to form multiple big dreads which is a common practice.

lil wayne hair bleached

In addition to this we can see Wayne’s crown thin at the top which the next sections perfectly pinpoints out.

bleached dreadlocks

2024 (Current)

Wayne’s dreads were predominately styled in tightly in the early 2000s which has lead to thinning crown in 2024.

Since he has increased the density and size of his dreads today he won’t be able to style his hair as he used too.

The crown is particularly susceptible to traction alopecia because it bears the brunt of the tension from these hairstyles.

Since Wayne has been doing styles since the 90s as our gallery proves the repeated pulling and stress on the hair follicles can caused weakening.

 

 

Key Take Away: Maintenance!

Dreads require the upmost care since they can catch dirt, latch onto fluff or even worse break off if not managed.

Wayne is a great example of what can happen to an individual if hair is not managed well and you’re going to need to learn from his mistakes. Ensure you

  • Oil your scalp
  • Keep protective styles in for maximum of 8 weeks
  • Protect hair at night or doing any physical activity
  • Spray rose water on your dreads to lock in moisture
  • Allow for retwisting every 4-6 weeks so your scalp can breathe, reduce tension and pulling. This is ultimately how to avoid traction alopecia
  • Talk to a loctician and get a Consultation for professional guidance and help

The future of Jay z dreads was left up for speculation after a 2023 interview with Gayle king in which he states he’s getting ready to cut it off. Could 2024 be the end of Jay z’s hair?

Throughout the year’s it’s been tradition that Jay z grows out his hair into a mini afro when recording an album only cutting it once the album is complete and turned in.

Jay z Dreads Evolution Video (Shorts)

Here I break down a visual guide into Jay z dreads evolution

How and when did the Jay z start his Dreads?

When did Jay-Z grow dreads In 2018

When – The journey started back in 2018. We have been fortunate to have his hair growth journey documented throughout the media. During this time period Jay z made multiple media appearances and performances with his hair in an afro. This would begin to start the foundation for his dreads.

How – Jay z has freeform dreads.

Similarly to J Cole Dreads this dread style allows your hair to grow organically without any manipulation, combing or styling. Jay began the journey without any styling or manipulation to form his look and maintain its thickness. There is no maintenance technique, size or parting system when it comes to freeform locs.

Detailed Hair Gallery throughout the Years

 

1996 – 2017

For the majority of jay z career we have only seen him in one hairstyle which has been the traditional low cut. (Apart from his mini afro growth at album recording time)

jay z Hair

2018

Jay would then begin to grow his afro, twist is hair into sections which would become the formation of his locs.

2019

In 2019 we get to see his twists being sections and ready so when it matts together it forms to locs!

2020

At this stage we began to see his dreads at the semi freeform stage maturing into congo at the ends.

freeform dreads

2022

Due to the weight of his hair we begin to see it flow downward to his shoulders.

2023

The most common cause for those lightened ends is the sun which we see on jays ends.

The small iterations make the biggest difference and in this scenario its the addition of the side part giving the look more definition.
