Psh, Mesopotamian shmesopotamian. BRAID LIKE A MAN!
Actually, the Mesopotamian style braids are slightly less straining(if not time-consuming) than your man-braids and hold better throughout an average day, as someone that grew it out in highschool for fun, I can tell you that right now. The problem with it though is that after a while you start realizing you're about three inches shorter than normal because the damn thing swings and it gets tiring holding your head up.
Nowadays I just have my little bits around my mouth, and the normal occasional excessive neckbeard that comes from a mixture of laziness and how much trouble it is to shave my neck(like seriously, why is there so much hair that grows there so fast?)
But onto the OP, I hope this is just meant as a joke, but there doesn't seem to be many of those on the forums anymore. But anybody talking about beards being overly dirty and disease ridden needs to stop asking the hobos to donate to science, like alot of people have said, it's no dirtier than pretty much any body part, like you'd be disgusted by your damn elbows and knees if beards irk you. Not to mention feet, especially if you only wear shoes if you absolutely have to like me.
