The 26th German Beard and Mustache Championships are the biggest examples of patience and dedication of one toward growing facial hair. Facial hair like this has crossed the point of pride transcending into something more divine.

After witnessing these moustaches and beards, facial hair that you normally see will be invisible. The amount of hair on one's face might even add significantly to ones own weight perhaps.

The competition was held on April 27 which had over a hundred participants fighting for the coveted title that would declare their facial hair most fabulous of them all.

Some liked it ornate

The Current European champion preferred freestyle

Some other found their strength in asymmetry.

There were 18 categories for different types of facial hair like "Dali-style," "Imperial" and "Freestyle." Hirsute has not been so acceptable anywhere else. America has its own share of the “bearding madness” with East Coast Beard and Mustache Championship.
