The Hairy Truth: Digging into Facial Hair Trends and their Societal Impact

Ever wondered why seamen might just be the secret elixir to regrowing your hair? Well, you’re in for a treat! Join us as we take a deep-dive into this offbeat theory and break down the chemical components of seamen, even taking a peek into the health products that contain it. We take you through a light-hearted journey of our research on hair regrowth solutions and the ever-changing hairstyles we've embraced through the years.

Does the urban community’s embrace of facial hair styles, like those flaunted by Rick Ross, ring a bell? We tackle the societal impacts of such trends, and even take a moment to ponder whether women could be more vocal in shaping these trends. As we delve into the past, we reminisce about the coexistence of urban and gothic styles during our high school years. From Marilyn Manson to freestyling in the hallways of Boca High, we explore how these diverse styles shaped our identities. Lighthearted yet candid, our conversation is sure to tickle your funny bone while providing intriguing insights into the world of hair and personal style.

Speaker 1: 0:00

You know I'm waiting for somebody to reemerge with. Bring the ball heads back what you mean by that?

Speaker 2: 0:08

I don't think that ever went out of play. You had the.

Speaker 3: 0:10

Montel Jordan I don't think that ever went out of play. It's still in play, I think.

Speaker 1: 0:14

The Fox, even Jay-Z had a ball head.

Speaker 3: 0:19

Jay-Z had a ball head. He had a one. No, he had a ball head that was less than the one.

Speaker 1: 0:24

No, he had a ball, he had a ball, he had a ball. Yeah, it was a half.

Speaker 2: 0:30

It was barely there. It's there. He rocked the half Either way Because Ross had it for a long time.

Speaker 1: 0:36

Yeah, but there was a time where it was cool and then it became not cool.

Speaker 2: 0:42

No, and now, yeah, I don't think it's easy, as men, I'm ball headed, right. You know what I'm saying. I started thinning out right there, you know what I mean. But it was either get your tape further back or rock the ball head.

Speaker 3: 0:56

You know what?

Speaker 2: 0:57

I'm saying no.

Speaker 3: 0:58

You got to do all that you got to embrace it.

Speaker 1: 1:02

You just get the thing they use on the windshield.

Speaker 2: 1:04

That ain't it? No, so listen, now did I do some research, watch some YouTube videos and was I curious about what oil is out there. What can you do? You know that thing, you can roll that blade like that roller blade and it like penetrates your cells and it helps you cry. You googled that, I googled it, I looked at everything. I ain't going to lie to y'all.

Speaker 1: 1:25

How did you do that much research? What you was trying to hold on to? I was curious. I was like what's up?

Speaker 2: 1:31

You know what I'm saying. I'm like, hey, I'm used to getting texts when I go to the bar with shot, Like what's happening? What did you type into the search bar? No, no, no, All type of stuff, man. I've spent, listen. I googled hair loss and how to grow hair. Like it was a nine to five. I probably spent like a month of research looking at places. I saw the tattoo treatment. I saw them removing hair. Follow cues from the back of your head to put it to the front. I was looking at how much the surgeries cost. Who did Tori Lane's and Tiger go to? I was doing a lot of research like, hey, well, how am I going to step out? And then race a guy.

Speaker 1: 2:14

It ain't no good solution because even the ones you see that did it like the pictures they were showing it was like man, these plugs don't look right Now. Tori Lane's and Tiger did have somebody who was good, but some of the pictures was fluctuating.

Speaker 2: 2:35

Yeah, you ain't see consistency in Tori.

Speaker 1: 2:36

Yeah, I ain't see consistency. I know something that nobody didn't try Seamen. You put your seamen on your scalp Because the seamen had a reverse and you look five years within it and where you got this from. It'll restore your follicles, especially if it's your seamen. Please let it be yours when you get this from.

Speaker 3: 3:07

Sir, how do you know?

Speaker 2: 3:08

And have you tested this?

Speaker 1: 3:09

theory. Yes, no, is this something you know? I'm not hard-fragged, come on man. The cells within the seamen is very, very new. It's restoreable. It's a reproductive cell, it's a chemical process in there. So they put chemicals in there.

Speaker 2: 3:37

So if you got this from bro, you ain't just so you trying to tell me. You just woke up one day and say oh shit, this could help your hair grow, seamen.

Speaker 1: 3:46

I've Google seamen, so I know there's chemical in it. I'm talking about like pheromone chemicals. Then there's hormones in it, there's proteins in it, and these are things that we would try to synthesize. Now, obviously, you know, this ain't something that's on the market, but there is some health products that do carry seamen in it.

Speaker 2: 4:14

So did you try to bring your hair back? Have you thought about trying to bring your hair back?

Speaker 1: 4:17

No, no, no, because I ain't learned this till later. I ain't learned it till later, but it ain't too late.

Speaker 2: 4:21

Have you thought about bringing it up? No, no, no, now I don't care, now you do, yeah, yeah, yeah, now I don't.

Speaker 1: 4:25

So what made you rock the ball here? Because I seen how people was picking at LeBron James a long time ago and I was like this is because I had dreads. At the time I was also thinning, but I was like this is the biggest artist, the biggest athlete in the game right now. People was roasting him. I said I'm not that, so imagine what people would say about me. And I didn't want to have to deal with that because I seen we've picked that people who wanted to try to hold on or be the person that wore the hat, be the person that wore the hats all the time. Then people would make jokes oh, what you going to do?

Speaker 2: 5:07

You didn't want to be a plie. You didn't want to be a plie without a hat huh yeah.

Speaker 3: 5:12

Or a neo.

Speaker 1: 5:13

See, see, don't do it on it, don't do that. That's exactly what I'm talking about how the ball had people.

Speaker 2: 5:20

I wanted to see your reaction right. Ll Cool J the knee, okay. I got you.

Speaker 1: 5:25

That's what I'm telling you. It was definitely some insecurities in that.

Speaker 2: 5:28

You got to rock it Once you know it's in and you rock once you. You know what I'm saying. You got to rock it, man, you can rock it, but growing a beard did compliment it for me.

Speaker 3: 5:37

Yeah, I think the beard do well.

Speaker 2: 5:39

You need the beard being all the way bald.

Speaker 3: 5:43

I, I. I think the ladies maybe could be the one to answer it, but did the ball had bring in the beard? I think the ball had bring in they. They brung the beard into style. I think the ball had brung it in. Let's be honest.

Speaker 1: 5:55

Before before, even before we for the urban community, ross, no, no, no Okay.

Speaker 2: 5:59

I feel like yeah, Ross made a beard.

Speaker 3: 6:02

Cause y'all boys had hair back then too.

Speaker 2: 6:03

Yeah.

Speaker 3: 6:05

When the beard was in. It really wasn't in all the way, but the guys that was bringing it in, yes Ross, yeah Uh, texas, uh uh slim thug came later.

Speaker 1: 6:15

Yeah, Ross Ross made you so for for for the urban modern day um middle age or young adults. Ross was the dude. Okay, so he, because we had Isaac, we had Isaac Hayes. True, he had the ball and the beard to that degree, but Ross.

Speaker 3: 6:35

But the ball had brung in. What made? What made the ball? The beard.

Speaker 1: 6:39

The hell is is is. Is they definitely um complimented.

Speaker 3: 6:43

Cause men weren't doing dreads and beard at the same time.

Speaker 1: 6:46

No, you, you definitely didn't see the beard Correct Like that.

Speaker 2: 6:50

It wasn't, and I think the combination is dope, though In other in other um ethnic groups.

Speaker 1: 6:57

The beard was there like rock. You seen the beard. You seen in the blues artists and things like that On the urban side of things to read, to bring it to the youth culture. Rick Ross, like once he did it, man, I seen everybody grow on the beard side. Yeah.

Speaker 2: 7:19

For sure Cause.

Speaker 1: 7:20

Jeezy had no facial hair.

Speaker 3: 7:22

True.

Speaker 1: 7:23

Remember, with the ball head and no facial hair. Yeah, jeezy with naked out here. Yeah, he grew the beard out. It was like oh, it's a different thing. Gucci grew the beard out, he ain't had no facial hair.

Speaker 3: 7:34

No.

Speaker 1: 7:35

I went in on Birdman to grow the beard out.

Speaker 2: 7:37

Can't happen. I don't see Birdman rocking it. I ain't see Jeezy rocking it. Birdman, I don't know. I don't see Birdman doing it.

Speaker 3: 7:47

My question was it's like yo, what's up with J J rocking the wicks now, like the Florida wicks, he went straight wicks because he was known for having a low cut.

Speaker 1: 7:55

Man J a problem. J is going to be like Bosch got had wicks and he was in New York. Listen, a lot of people like for us we know it to be Dade County, but obviously Jamaica been had those. That's those, those styles of dreads. And then it was other regions. We just didn't know. The internet made it feel like it was, it was our thing to claim, just like I seen old pictures with J Z with on grills in the 80s, late 80s or either early 90s. I thought Paul Wall in the south brought grills to the forefront.

Speaker 1: 8:34

Then I seen this old picture of J Z and Wu Tang Klin and all these other people. It's like man we thought this was, we thought this was our thing and it was some people that actually was rocking them in that fashion Right on man, no, right on, We'll see what's going on.

Speaker 2: 8:54

but yeah, I got no problem with it. Man, I'm rocking minds, I'm holding it down, we out here beer gang all day Seeming on the scalp. I don't know about no seaming on the scalp man, but, and I think the ladies made the beers popular too. Like the beers are in man, ladies got a thing for beers out there, man.

Speaker 1: 9:11

They make it all possible, because if they ain't like it, then we wouldn't have kept going.

Speaker 2: 9:15

So when we're talking about this I still wanna stay on the topic like this so when we do things right, so, and let's talk about the features. So you know, I heard something the other day and it came from Boosie, so it's like so if we do things to impress the ladies, so let's talk about, like painting your nails, for example. We seen the thuggas. You will see, like the little pumps, the oozy verts and Drake just did his yeah Right. So if the ladies were to be more vocal and be like nah, that ain't it, you think it would minimize the fellas? Who's doing it?

Speaker 2: 9:50

I think so With doing things, cause if they stay in silent, his whole thing is they stay in silent. You know what I mean. So they that pretty much saying it's okay and they could possibly be more vocal. But can you imagine Drake being Drake and then the ladies just a bad one come up to him and be like, hey man, what you doing? Man, you ain't supposed to be doing that. Do you think he was starting to hit them differently? Be like, ooh, maybe I'm tripping.

Speaker 1: 10:15

No, that's if when a man paint his nails he already made a decision to be a disruption, that's a very disruptive and bold move to do so at that point. Getting women or discouraging women you not even thinking about that. And it's not new, those rock bands they been the Gothic culture, they been doing the painting of the nails.

Speaker 2: 10:50

I only grew up. I only grew up, like when you talk about that culture. I kind of paid attention to Marilyn Manson. He was the kind of first one I see really go left from his wardrobe and all black and stuff like that. But that was the only guy I knew of. I never really saw it you know the goth kids in school.

Speaker 3: 11:10

Yeah, they been doing that.

Speaker 2: 11:11

That's every school that you got to. You know, not that you mentioned it. I didn't really know what that was, cause I went to Boca High.

Speaker 1: 11:18

They definitely had goth kids, but you ain't really yours was with your clique. It was invisible to you. Yeah, I just never had a go. You know, they nails was painted Never really painted anything like that. They had the spike chokers.

Speaker 2: 11:30

They had the wallets with the chains, the all black they all bought them but it never like it was kind of the I mean for that kind of school. At that time back when I was there early 2000s, it was kind of normal. Like you went to Boca High you saw that and you also saw us urban kids beating on the trash, can I'm sure when they saw us freestyling beating on the trash, can I'm like what the hell is them boys doing? We screaming, we ready down the hallways.

Speaker 2: 11:54

I know that was like what the hell?

Speaker 3: 11:55

is that.

Speaker 2: 11:56

So yeah, I get what you said. Now that I look back I'm like, yeah, that there were there. They were present, but I never really paid too much attention to it. And I ain't gonna lie, boca High was like a nice school back then. Like you ain't really everybody kind of got along. It was never no tension. I don't remember being picked on. It was none of that, it was. You was cool with everybody. Born in high was a little different. Oh man, oh man.

Speaker 3: 12:23

It's more than just a podcast, it's exposure.
