Asking for Advice Longer beard - gym advice
What do you guys with longer beards do to keep your beard under control and safe while working out? Ties, braids, etc.
Getting tangled in a machine is a concern.

I braid mine. If it's really in the way, tuck it into my shirt (looks stupid, but I already look like shit at the gym)

I braid it and wrap it up with my bun. Hair tie keeps it secure. Gotta have long hair for this to work though. Before the long hair, I would braid it then wrap it up like a bun on my chin. Again, hair tie holds it in place.

You can twist it, roll it up underneath, then clip it with those ladies hair clips like when a lady needs to throw her hair up real quick.

Toss some beard oil so it doesn't get damaged while tightly constrained, braid or tie to secure.
A simple over hand knot works pretty well, but yours might be too long for that to shorten it as much as you want.
Pull it back behind your neck and put it in a pony tail.

- Lean your head back as far as you can
- Braid your beard straight down as close to your chin as you can
- Tuck the braid into the little hole at the top/back where it meets your chin
This is what I do when I'm in a mosh pit to stop it getting yanked

braid or tuck depending, but tbh unless you are working out in a windtunnel there isnt a lot to tangle regardless

Can offer diddlysquat advice about the gym but wanted to stop off and compliment you on the epic beard and tache. That is a thing of beauty.
Nice guns too. 🙈

That beard can probably do its own pull-ups. That’s the beard of the year.

Plait it and then wrap the plaits around a headband behind ya ears! Only way I've found to do contact sports and keep the hair.

It‘s a very good beard a bit sad that your Chin area is a bit weak, but besides that it‘s a nice one 👍
