We've hit "peak beard," it seems.

According to Science, Beards Are Just About to Start Becoming Unpopular
By: Chris O'Shea
Attention hipsters and men in general: We have reached peak of beard popularity. It's over. The beard trend has been going strong for years, but you can mark it's on a downward slide. In a new study, researchers in Australia found that while women still love beards, the more there are, the less attractive they become. We have saturated the face of the human male with hair, and now we're paying the price.
The reason for beard overload? It's evolution, actually. The team — led by professor Bob Brooks — found that hairy men are up against something called "Negative frequency-dependent selection." This is a term that refers to the evolutionary process where the attractiveness of something is dependent on its popularity. In other words, the more often something occurs in nature, the less we desire it. How fitting is this, by the way? Beards, the mark of the hipster, have been declared dead because they're popular, a term that makes most hipsters melt into a puddle of flannel and suspenders.
