I've always thought myself as a blonde man, and as a child my hair was nearly white. All that changed when I grew a beard and my Irish heritage sprouted from my face.
Reply by Deb at RR: Hi Daniel -- thanks for submitting your excellent photo...the beard looks great and suits you well. (Not everyone looks good in a beard.) Probably like a lot of guys, it must have been a surprise to 'sprout' the red facial hair! Those Irish red genes just had to show up and I think it's wonderful. I'll post your beard photo on my "Red Beard" page as well later today. If you keep growing the beard and want to update the photo, you can resubmit a photo again later explaining that's what you're doing...(some guys have done that) Anyway...Thanks for sharing! Always fun to see these!
