Why do Saudi leaders have beards?
In other places, some men may worry about having to shave, but for men in Saudi Arabia, it would be terrible not to have a beard. Dr Riad Rumi, from Baghdad, Iraq, was the focus of the surgeon conference in 1980s. His seamless surgery technology can protect the skin and avoid the appearance of scars, but this technology has not been implemented in the end. This made him turn to "hair transplant", and this time, he was almost too busy. In Saudi Arabia and even the whole Middle East, a thick beard is a symbol of masculinity and strength. "Beards symbolize strength, wisdom and loyalty. A man without a beard will be considered weak and suspicious, not a real man. " Dr. Rumi said, "You can hardly imagine the social significance of beards here (in the Middle East). Recently, a customer from Egypt had to leave his village because of great pressure. He was deported not because of money or other problems, but because he was born with a smooth face and no hair. " In Saudi Arabia, photos of leaders are hung in all shops. They all have beards, and Rumi's "New You" surgical clinic is no exception. It would be incredible if Sheikh (the honorific title of the Arab tribal leader) did not come to power with a beard. However, regarding the stubble of the Saudi foreign minister, Dr. Rumi only said that "a clean beard (used for diplomatic etiquette) is not a beard." It is a shame not to have a beard. There is a saying in the Middle East that "a cat without a beard has no tail", which is the same as the saying in China that "it is not firm to do things without a hairy mouth". In Arab countries, lack of facial hair may lead to social difficulties. Being described as "glib" in Turkey is usually not a pleasant thing. In order to change this situation, a "beard doctor" like Rumi appeared. Beard transplantation is to take out hair follicles from the densely hairy parts of the customer's body and then implant them into the beard growth area through autologous hair transplantation technology. "It takes about an hour to implant 500 hairs, and the new hair needs to be reprocessed after half a year," Dr. Rumi said. A flawless thick beard costs about 20,000 dirhams (about 40,000 yuan). Guests in need come from Arab countries, or people from other countries, and want to gain a foothold in the Arab world. "Many businessmen ask to grow beards, because if they don't have beards, their business partners won't take them seriously," said a plastic surgeon at the beard planting clinic in Turkey. "Many men came to me and said,' I am 40 years old now and I am the boss of a large enterprise, but no one takes me seriously. I want to have a thick beard A year ago, an Indian architect asked Dr. Rumi for help and planted 2,000 beards on his neck and cheeks. The 44-year-old Indian man said that as an independent entrepreneur, he needed a "special appearance" to handle orders from Dubai. In the Middle East, more and more men are looking for ways to make their beards thicker. Some people need to grow beards like actors. Some politicians also have to have beard transplants to improve their image. Some men also have to have facial hair transplants before they get married.
