Man I really wish I would have saved some of my earlier beard journey pics. Mine looked a lot like yours does now, but it ended up filling in decently. The blonde thing is crazy, especially if the hairs are multicolored. Early on, the darker areas of my beard took over and you couldn't even see the blonder areas. But with some length they will really show up nicely. You can see it in your outdoor shots. Keep on pushing and you will get that beard!
