It doesn't look scruffy to me at all, Rabbit, it looks really neat. Your boss just needs time to get used to a longer beard. Best thing to do is to ignore her and she'll get bored nagging you and get used to seeing you with the bigger beard. I don't see any sparseness there at all. I see a very nice beard which suits you perfectly.
