The Santa-fication of Triibeard

Although I thought your arrow-straight beard was Santa-ready to begin with (and I am quite jealous of it), I'd say the curl was definitely worth 3 hours in the chair.  It looks fantastic.

I've had no perm work, but every time I walk into the salon for my bleaching sessions, it's a 3 hour visit and I've had at least 4 of those so far this year!

The beard looks awesome!

I have always done my own bleaching at home.  I do it over a few week's time and never do multiple bleaches in one day.  That is what burns your skin.  It needs time to recover before you bleach again.  The soonest I have bleached again is 5 days but I usually go a week in between, so I plan it out very meticulously.
