A man who is on the run or otherwise trying not to be recognized will often grow a beard as part of his attempt at concealment. The inversion — where a heavily bearded character shaves for similar reasons — is also relatively common, doubling as an Important Haircut. A sufficiently Crazy-Prepared character might grow a beard so that, sometime in the future, he'll be able to shave it off and go unrecognized - maybe this is the reason for the Beard of Evil? If the character in hiding is ashamed of what he's done, it may also count as a Beard of Sorrow. Wig, Dress, Accent is another variation on the theme as is Dye or Die. Not to be confused with Growing the Beard, which is figurative instead of literally growing a beard. |

In the pilot of White Collar, Neal grows a beard in prison, and then shaves it off the day he escapes so he won't be recognized. He doesn't look all that different, but he does look just different enough to fool the facial recognition on the prison security cameras. Peter realizes he can figure out when Neal first decided to escape from prison by looking through past security footage for the day Neal stopped shaving. | |

In The Adventures of Dr. McNinja, a variation on the idea of growing a beard just to be able to shave it off for an easy disguise is the reason the McNinja family all wear ninja facemasks at all time. If no-one knows what they look like, then when they really need to, they'll be able to take their mask off and disappear. This ends up being how Dr. McNinja exits the cast at the end of the comic. | |

In The Assignment (1997), two men wear fake beards and wigs when meeting in an East Berlin café. The KGB photograph the meeting and use Facial Recognition Software to remove the beards and match their faces with those of terrorist Carlos the Jackal (currently under KGB protection) and a known CIA agent. This was the CIA's plan all along; 'Carlos' is actually a Doppelgänger and the fake beards make the meeting look suspicious while increasing the chance that the computer will give a false positive result. | |

Serpico wears a large mustache—and later the hippy beard made famous in the movie—at a time when so-called plainclothes cops are wearing regulation haircuts and shoes. When attached to Vice however he adopts a long flowing beard that works too well — word soon spreads among the hookers to beware of "The Beard", and Serpico has to shave again on seeing prostitutes fleeing a bearded man trying in vain to pick them up. | |

In A Song of Ice and Fire: When fleeing the Starks and trying to return to King's Landing, Jaime Lannister keeps the beard he acquired in captivity, then shaves his head for good measure. It doesn't seem to fool anyone, given his famous gold hair and handsome looks, and Tully bannermen pursue them almost from the get-go. There's also Ser Barristan Selmy, who grows a beard sometime between being fired from the Kingsguard and joining up with Daenerys. Ser Rodrik Cassel shaves his very impressive whiskers. Initially, it's out of pragmatism — they're on a boat and he's badly seasick — but it later becomes a disguise. |

In Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town, this is supposedly why Kris Kringle first grows his beard. His wanted posters had him beardless and he wasn't an iconic toy-making symbol just yet. The bearded form is, according to the special, the symbol it is because he grew the beard to escape the law. | |

One Encyclopedia Brown story features a wanted criminal who wears a false beard in order to avoid detection. He ends up getting discovered in Idaville when a small boy sees him pull off the beard when he enters the car, recognizes him from his wanted poster, and goes to tell Encyclopedia that he'll pull off his beard like that instead of shaving when he grows up. | |

The McManus Brothers evidently grew beards and long shaggy hair while hiding out in Ireland after the events of the first The Boondock Saints film. Before returning to Boston, they shave and cut their hair.... then wonder why they did that, when now they match their wanted posters, and before they "looked like Jesus Christ." | |

Game of Thrones: Barristan Selmy grows one during his Chekhov M.I.A.. Roose Bolton sports one in "The Lion and the Rose" after having to smuggle himself into his own lands. The next scene includes him shaving it off. Tyrion grows a hybrid between this trope and Beard of Sorrow for Season 5. |

When they report to Kelson, the king comments on the fact he's never seen them with beards before, and Duncan notes how effective their disguises have been. | |

Lampshaded in Boy's Life. Toward the end of the book, we discover the man killed in the beginning had helped relocate a Nazi scientist. The victim's brother comes looking for him and, learning he's dead, believes the killer is the Nazi. He shows Cory's father a picture but explains that he's probably changed his appearance, and the easiest way to go unrecognized is to "shave your head and grow a beard." The vet, who was much earlier described as a bald, bearded man, is the Nazi and the killer. | |

At the start of The Punisher (2017), Frank Castle has an unkempt beard that causes him to be called a hipster. It's implied to also be a Beard of Sorrow given that Frank has lost his purpose now his Roaring Rampage of Revenge has ended. When he discovers it hasn't he shaves the beard, joking that he doesn't like hipsters or being mistaken for one. He doesn't have the beard at the start of Season 2 because the authorities have erased his records so he doesn't need it. | |

In the film version of The Fugitive, the second thing Dr. Kimble does after escaping from prison is shave off his beard. (The first thing is to ditch his orange jumpsuit.) That is, Harrison Ford begins the film with a beard only to lose it after 20 minutes and look like himself for the rest of the film. It pays off — despite having a picture of Kimble in his hand as he speaks to him, a state trooper doesn't recognize him. This is an inversion from an early draft of the script, where the trope would have been played straight—Kimble would have grown a beard to conceal himself. | |
