is there any correlation between going bald and beard growth?QUOTE]
Yes - High testosterone levels increase body hair growth but also cause "Male Pattern Baldness" ...

and i thought i was growing through my hair line ,rising to the top of the canopy seeking out the rays of sunshine like a strong oak , dammmm now im scratching it (back to the drawing board :0( )
 
The other advantage of a beard , as you get older , the beard is perfect for camouflaging excessive nose and ear hair . Just comb it in and blend !,

Sort of.
High testosterone means your body hair migrates south during the summer of your life, leaving the top of your head shiny (I'm OK with that cos there's less to shave off my head) and settling in your chest, tummy, back and pretty much anywhere lower than the Arctic circle.
 
I tried growing a beard in the last test week. To demonstrate that they were putting so much pressure on us, that I couldn't even take proper care of myself. But the result is miserable. Just a tiny little mustache and no beard whatsoever. :bluThinki
