I'm probably overthinking this one but here goes.
Would you warn parents if you were making a noticeable change in your appearance? I'm growing a beard. Haven't had one in years and only 1 DCF was around the last time I had one. I normally don't shave daily (I break out if I do) so seeing me a bit stubbly isn't unusual. But it will take about 2 weeks to grow/ fill out to the point I want to keep it trimmed at. Right now it's at that scraggly stage. Combine that with red hair & pale skin and it's not a good look. I feel like on one hand I should tell DCPs "Hey- I'm not being lazy. I'm growing it out intentionally!" On the other hand it will be pretty obvious by the end of the week it's intentional.
Should I give them a heads up? Like I said I'm probably overthinking this one. Thanks
