A new trend is inspiring men to let go of their boring beard styles and swap them for something more fun- the monkey tailed beards!
This bizarre fashion trend involves shaving one’s beard following the pattern of a primate’s curled tail. Despite the quirky look, a lot of men are actually joining the trend and posting their photos on social media. It’s such a fun look if you ask them.
