We don\'t mean to cause alarm to anybody who may be of a nervous disposition, pregnant or about to fall pregnant thanks to the following photos, but One Direction\'s Liam Payne and normal 22-year-old Zayn Malik have had a BEARD-OFF on their respective social media profiles and it\'s all just too much.

So there we are, innocently checking Instagram and trawling our Twitter timelines when - with literally zero warning - Big Payno and The Artist Formerly Known As Zain Malik chuck pics of their fit facial hair on the internet like it ain\'t no thang. Squealing, heavy breathing and the dilemma as to whether to set Zayn or Liam as our phone background ensued.

(We did Zayn as home and Liam as lock screen, btw.)

As you can see above, Payno posted a well beardy pic on Insta with the caption \'Shower time\' (JESUS CHRIST IT\'S DECEMBER AND WE\'RE DUSTING OFF THE DESK FAN) and \'#nofilter\' followed by a sticky-out-tongue emoji. We think he\'s joking with the \'#nofilter\' thing \'cos...yeah. But fit af nonetheless, eh?

So we\'re low key obsessed with these Liam Payne...

MEANWHILE el Maliko opted to do irreversible damage to ovaries everywhere via the medium of Twitter. Now we knew he was getting some more fuzz in the facial region thanks to some of his recent selfies, but this is some next level shiz.

We imagine Gigi Hadid has fun braiding it. Or maybe not Gigi. Someone else who\'s not Gigi. We don\'t even know.

Well d\'ya know what this calls for? A VOTE. Now we don\'t usually like to pit people against each other, but we\'re doing it anyway. It\'s for RESEARCH PURPOSES. So who d\'ya reckon\'s rockin\' the facial fuzz best, eh?

Let us know who you voted for @sugarscape or join the discussion (there probably isn\'t one but do it anyway) in the comments box below. Ciao.
