Teen Boy Shaves And Uses His Own Leg Hair To Give Himself A Beard

A 19-year-old from Southampton, UK has given himself a beard by shaving his legs and using the hair he collected to fashion into his new look. Vitaly Pirogov superglued the hair to his upper lip, cheeks, and chin to give the illusion of having grown a full beard and I’m not sure whether this is genius or absolutely insane. Maybe a little bit of both?

  1. His legs were pretty hairy. While you might wonder how he managed to get enough hair from his legs to make a full beard, you can see in the video that he clearly has really hairy legs and therefore can collect plenty.
  2. He kept the leg hair on a folded piece of paper. If you’ve ever wanted to gag while watching a video, just check out Vitaly’s pile of leg hair he collected before he decided to glue it all to his face. It really does work wonders on reducing appetite!
  3. I’m not sure you should be using superglue on your face? While I can’t imagine what the right substance to use to get hair to stick to your face would be, I’m pretty sure PVA glue isn’t it. However, that doesn’t stop Vitaly from slathering it on and really pressing the hair into it to make sure it stays in place.
  4. I guess it kinda looks real? if you back up far enough, you can kind of believe that this is a real beard, but I’m still not sure it was worth not only the effort but likely the infection and pain of actually going through with it. I guess 2020 really has been a weird year after all…
