Why are many men growing beards again ?

Yesterday I passed a barbershop and saw ads on their wall outside of men with beards and short hair. It is a revival or saving electricity ?

Alas, I cannot grow hair on the top of my head, so I must grow it on the bottom.
This is my reason too.
IIRC, it’s the same testosterone-y hormone that determines how good you are at growing a beard that also determines how aggressively you go bald. So there’s lots of folks in this boat with us
It's more so how sensitive your cells/receptors are to these hormones (testosterone/DHT), assuming you have healthy levels. There's people on anabolic steroids that still can't grow a dense beard. It's just genetics.
The more you know!
Also, I have a big ass forehead and no chin. Gotta aim for that balancing point.
Alas, I have just enough native blood to not be able to grow a beard, and not enough to not go bald. Worst of both worlds haha
