I feel like if this guy shaved his beard he’d sound different

can you donate a little of your trimmings so I can paste on my head. thanks

Another point is not just the complements but those who are not going to like it like family, significant others and friends. They are going to do their best to talk you out of growing a beard.

As a 25 year old without a dad i really appreciate this video man thanks.

We would like to see those pictures bro...

If I could tell myself one word of advice it would be to keep growing past the 3 month mark. I had patches in my cheeks when I was younger that would have totally covered over as gravity pulled my hairs down but I always chickened out at 3 months and chopped it off.

There are going to be points when your beard looks like absolute crap and will want to shave it off. I'd say give yourself a week before going ahead with it. When you are in the moment, it's easy to just lose focus. Just like bad hair days, you will have bad beard days. Also you will have different stages of growth when it won't look great, just give it time.

5 things I wish I knew back then | Beginner Beard Tips 1. Make L with both your hands (L ⅃) and push up against between jaw and neck; trim below that line. 2. Use Beard Oil & Beard Balm (after washing your beard) 3. Use Beard Comb and Beard Brush 4. Don't wash beard everyday (once/twice a week) and use beard shampoo (not hair shampoo) and don't use conditioner at all. 5. Be prepared to reply to compliments and help other grow better beard. (Brands in the description. Don't settle for cheap products)

My pro tip: Beard oil completely gets rid of the itchiness during the first months of growing a beard.

Two things I wish I had taken to heart was genetics and age. I had wanted a beard since I was little, and when I got to about 19 I would try to grow one but it was scraggly and just not good. But as I aged, it finally sorted itself and now I have a full beard. But I was way too hard on myself at 19. It just takes some people more time, and some people just don't have the genes for body hair of any sort.

and #6 At times in the early weeks of beard growth some people will see a change in your facial features and try to persuade you of shaving. It can be hard to ignore​ ALL of them but in the end it is worth it!

another point is.. just let it grow!

Another good one is ... when in doubt, grow it out ... and you can't trim your way to a big beard

I’m still “back in the day” stage lol thanks for the tips

The only thing I would tell myself from years ago is “ STOP SHAVING LET IT GROW”

this neck line info needs to get spread all over! GUYS QUIT TRIMMING YOUR NECK LINE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR SECOND CHIN IT LOOKS AWFUL AND ACCENTS YOUR FAT ROLL STOP JUST STOP!

One point of advice for all the first time beardsman. You will ineveitably go through the "this looks like crap phase." Stick with it for at least 4 months and you will see the difference. Patience pays off with beards.

I agree with most of your tips with the exception of your view on conditioner use. I most definitely use a conditioner, I could not get by without it. Have you ever heard of co-washing? It's when you use a conditioner as a shampoo. I do that on the days that I don't wash the beard and it works great. Do you watch George Bruno here on youtube? That's where I got the tip on co-washing. He has tons of tips for big beards. Thanks

I was brushing my beard with a toothbrush while watching this 😂

Best advice I got was "Don't screw with your beard." Don't pick at it, twist it, pull it. Unconscious or nervous tweaking it.

Man, I’m trimming along my jawline! So glad I watched this. Thank you for the helpful tips!!

I am currently in my beard journey. Unfortunately I dont really have the beard gene. My dad told me he couldn't grow a beard till his mid 30's. He is in his early 50s now and he can grow a great beard. My mom says that I am currently doing much better then my dad ever did at his age. I am 24 now. Wish me luck.

Keep your expectations low. Each beard will be different and might not end up looking like what you want it to be. The first year is the most critical and you will learn alot about yourself in that time. Don't trim if you have a bad beard day. Only trim when your beard is dry. Wet beard is a no no.

One to add would be to keep your hand off it. No scratching, finger combing or playing with it. That also irritates the skin and wipes the natural oils off your beard. It also break hairs and causes them to get brittle.

How do you deal with negative reactions to having a bigger beard? Was in the elevator at work with a woman I've never seen before, a complete stranger. She looks at me and asks "how long have you been growing your beard?" I'm thinking she's about to toss me a compliment because I do get compliments here and there. I proudly respond "7 months." Her demeanor changes a little bit and I can feel the negativity she says "7 months?! Don't you think it's about time to cut it?" I was speechless and totally thrown for a loop as to why a perfect stranger could feel she could comment on my personal grooming. I mean I keep it neat and clean. Cheekline always sharp, oil, balm, comb, brush and shaped on the daily. Sorry for being long winded but what are some good ways to deal with these types of situations?

I swear by these tips and I'm so grateful to have found this channel. I never thought I could grow a decent beard. Always patchy and scraggly. Six months ago I started watching these videos and applying the advice. I went to a barber for my very first professional beard trim about 2 months ago and I got 2 compliments on my beard, one from the barber, and one from another customer waiting his turn. I recommended this channel to the guy and it was then that I realized my beard is in fact pretty sweet. Full, smooth, and damn sexy. My wife loves it too. Thank You!!!

I’ve seen this video a bunch of times and I am not ashamed.

The hand neckline advice was awesome! Thanks bro 🤜🏽

#Subscribed! I just love beards and my bro is trying to grow his. Helpful video here ☺

How often to brush or comb; What is too much ? What is not enough? Right on : Thank you sir -

Love your videos man, I'm 38 and never had a beard before, decided to grow one just for fun! It's only been 2 weeks but already starting to take shape! Your vids inspire me keep up the good work!

Fyi The Canada military are now allowing all of their members to grow beards. Gonna be awesome

Has anyone had an "invisible" beard? Let me explain. Years ago I shaved my beard partially to try a goatee instead. Before that, I was wearing it shortly trimmed, but full (and no, it's not thin or patchy, it's pretty dense). *Several* people at work commented that they hadn't noticed that I was growing a goatee. When I told them I had a full beard before, they were stunned - they had never noticed it! They only noticed it when I actually *shaved* part of it! More recently, a distant cousin who lives in another city and whom I have met in person only a handful of times, but other than once when we were kids had only seen me bearded, found my pictures on the Internet and commented to me over e-mail that she had seen that "now" I was wearing a beard. I said: "What do you mean, 'now'? I've had a beard for over 30 years!" She didn't know what to say... Maybe it's because my beard is so much a part of me that people don't see it as a separate thing (which it really isn't), as something to be "worn"...

my beard or what I've been able to grow, appears to be that of curly pubic hair. I've been using Rogaine to get some grown on my cheeks, not working too well. fml...I'm 30, maybe it's not in the cards for me.

Thanks for this video my significant other loves his beard so I want to help him take care of it .

I wish the beard fad came up when I was under 35 and didn’t have so many greys. For most of my life beards were not cool, it was seen as a cheesy style from the 1970s that made guys look like stuffy old professors or grumpy lumberjacks. Then when I was already like 38 years old or so around 2014 and with plenty of greys, beards suddenly became “cool”, now it made people look more sexy, sometimes even younger if styled right. Now I’m like mid 40s and I’m afraid growing a grey beard will make me look like a whino.

Thank you for your tips I'm glad I know these now .I'm 24 and currently working on grow out a full beard myself ,couldn't before due to irritation but it's worth it once that parts over . I've gotten more compliments on it and more confidence because of it .

I'm trying to help my BF get his beard right, so I appreciate you making this video to help me understand!!

When you first started growing your beard (like in the first week or 2) did you have any lighter colored hairs and do they end up getting darker? Because I have brown hair and the beard is coming out brown and blonde . Lol

what I found out for me is native coconut oil beats every beardoil you can purchase. Since beardoil is more for your skin underneath your beard, coconutoil can be used anywhere on your body. is has a disinfectant effect on the skin, moisters it and even your beard will get super soft within a 2-3 times applying it! and the best: soooo much cheaper than beardoil. give it a try, you won't regret :)

I'm genuinely curious about the DNA strand that turns into a rosary on your right arm, & on the other "We are made of star stuff." I feel many religious people don't like any ideas that don't involve creation. Respect to you if you have faith while also being a free thinker. Anyway, thanks for the video. I feel like you might trim your neck line lower on your neck than I do, but I tend to get annoyed when mine gets long, so I usually give up & put the big guard (either 7 or 10mm) on my razor & cutting it all short. 🤷‍♂️

I wash my beard everyday. Only thing I disagree with especially if you use beard products everyday. I don’t trim under my neck at at all because I want it to be the fullest as possible but that’s all preferences. Great video! Educate is key and every beard is always different and has a story.

Exactly when i stopped shaving at my jaw line was when i started loving my beard more

watching for my husband! I'm super into hair care and he said "can you help me with my beard" 😋

the shock when i find out that beards even had to be washed. i just thought it was water and facial wash

what do you think about beard conditioner? (specifically for beards)

When in doubt.... let it grow - it's almost irresistible to want to trim it and "even it out" but when you do you'll almost always shorten it more than you'd like...

What about washing after sex? My Wife can tell when I cheat on her.

Is there a good beard grooming kit you'd recommend? Thanks man, seriously.

My life changed when I discovered boar bristle brushes.

I'm starting to grow a beard! This is my first week and I already bought some cheap beard oil, balm, brush as well as a beard soap. I know this is my first week but I really want to grow a healthy and good looking beard like yours! Good video bro, new sub.

yo for the kent combs do the little teeth brake, ever? for 15$ the teeth can never brake on me like the garbage little plastic ones

Beards are natural, you don't need any of this shit. Just grow it out! It's a man thing

I'm growing a beard and at a certain length the hair is growing at all angles and shooting out at the side diagonal. What do I do to get the hair to rest uniform?

Love the beard! I was watching this at work the other day and it's great to see that some men actually understand how to care for their beards

So I’m real scraggly. Especially on my cheeks and jaw line. I want to keep the natural gray and brown but I don’t want it to come in patchy on my cheeks and above the jawline. How do I avoid that? My goat and mustache comes in thick and full, yet my cheeks and neck are a struggle. Can you guide me for any thickening tips?

I'm totally that guy going with the chin line. Thanks for the tips!

Equally bearded / experienced chap here and I'm sorry to say that I disagree with you on balms and oils, they dry my beard hairs out over time. Now I just use a bit of Beef Tallow, which is actually doing what you're claiming the balms and oils do. Nourishing the hair with essential fatty acids. Humans contain fats, plants contain oils. Stop putting oils into your body / on your beard. If you try beef tallow I can all but guarantee you'll never put those nasty manufactured products in your beard again. Don't like combs, I only use a brush.

Thanks for these tips. My hair grows really really fast so I never really took my beard serious, and I use to cut at the jaw line. I appreciate the mental jewels🤛 Definitely will apply tips and see if it makes a difference

I know you said you only wash your beard once or twice a week but I have a very physically demanding job and I sweat a lot. How often should I wash my beard and what should I use to wash it? Any suggestions are appreciated.

I'm coming up on 30 and still can't grow a beard lol I swear I wonder what some of these 15 year old kids are eating too be walking around in highschool with full beards, I haven't shaved, trimmed or anything in about 2 months and seriously my hair grows in patchy on the bottom, hardly on my cheeks, and my goatee looks like a dam goats lol

I hope someone can help me out, I decided to start trying to grow my beard, but there are 2 problems, the first one is that it does not grow too much, I believe it can grow like in 3 months, but the other issue, I'm blond, and half of my beard is like white, so it looks kind of weird because It's not too much, and some hairs are brown and some others are white, how would I know if it won't work?

I absolutely enjoyed this video. I've been growing my beard for several months an it looks like I've had it for years. Hair growth is wild in my family. The biggest issues I've had is the product an what to use and you my friend have answered my prayers. Keep it up an thank you for you time into making this video. I am greatful 💪

I've had a beard for several months now, and I'm learning how to maintain it as I go, thank You for the tips, my biggest problem right now is dry flaky skin under my beard, looks like dandriff. I've tried the head and shoulders, then I bought the cremo beard wash and oil, still having issues. What do You recommend? look forward to learning more from your videos. Thanks

I love that having a beard has become a culture now xD

Thanks for all the information. Have had a short beard for years but never knew all the correct ways to take care of it. Lately been trying to grow it out to about length of what you have. I have always used the cheap black Combs. Used just regular shampoo/conditioner Washed it everyday. Cut at jaw line. Never used beard products. Been watching videos for a couple weeks and have changed all my bad habits. Thanks again.

I have about 4 beard hairs

And here I am, a 15 year old turning 16 Wednesday, prepping for next years Halloween costume. (Going as Obi Wan Kenobi)

About washing beard each day, you mean, washing it with beard shampoo? I take a shower daily and wash my hair, so my beard obviously gets wet. BUT, I wash my beard specifically, twice a week with Prof. Fuzzworth. Is that the idea? It will be hard otherwise to take a shower each day while keeping the beard totally dry, so is regular water on it ok? I ll use a boar bristle right after the shower with beard oil (4-5 drops).

I grow a nice beard never know what to do with it style wise because i have no mustache just a little bit of hairs here ane their people say i look amish because i shave them off

Hey Scuba! I am going for a yeard (one year beard). Three months in, I am enjoying my beard, it's quite full and long, not a 10/10, but, maybe atleast 7 or 8. I am going for the "homeless man" look (seriously!) At what month mark will I be seeing that out of control crazy beard look popping up?

One thing I wish I knew... genetics plays a big role. No two beards are the same.

Damn those are some cool tats

Does anyone know what happened to this guy?

Dude that's totally not true about conditioning. You're spot on about not using shampoo meant for head. But conditioner makes your beard extremely soft if you condition it daily. It has no bad chemicals, and even has stuff like argon oil which improves the hair quality, keeps it moist, and prevents split ends.

Watching this and I KNEW beard line one would be first..I have a nice beard but shave that damn neck line high!! Not gonna shave my beard and start fresh but...well Time to let the neck hair catch up

Its funny how everbody says beard oil this, beard balm that, dont use shampoo...I use head and shoulders on my beard every 2 to 3 days. Its thick as all get out, compliments everywhere I go. I walked into a barber shop and everyone couldn't believe how nice and healthy it is. My barber actually told me I have an extremely healthy and thick beard. I say the products are for guys that weren't born with beard genes. I started shaving at 10.

1. Shave with your neckline instead of Jawline 2. Use Beard Oil and beard palm 3. Use beard comb and beard brush (preferably a Kent comb) 4. Don't wash your beard everyday and don't use regular shampoo and conditioner for it. Use Beard shampoo 5. Know wtf you're talking about when it comes to your beard.

I'm doing the no shave November thing and my beard is growing in fast! I'm actually getting compliments already and people telling me I look good with a beard, and other people giving me tips. I'm in my 40's and I've never grown a beard but always new my face was meant for one. My problem is I did the no shave nov. As an excuse not to shave every day, but to grow a beard, but now I'm thinking I should, but maintaining a bread sounds like a lot more work than shaving everyday, idk if it's worth it?

Im trying to grow bout 2 weeks in. At this point some hairs stand up some lay down. The ones tha lay down feel like hooks. I know about the pokey ones they need oil but the lay down ones are like they're trying to bury themselves and only feel better when I kinda dig em out. Thoughts? Advice.

I would have told myself not to enlist and keep growing the beard. Starting all over again nearly a decade later.

As someone who's recently decided to grow a beard, these tips will come in handy.

I have a super nice beard!! Did some research before growing it so i have done good! My wife loves it and i do too!!

I shaved to the jawline and I'm done. Man this is harder than I expected. I can't believe I'm over 40 and I've never gone more than 3 days without shaving.

the amount of oil and/or balm that is ENOUGH

Just turned 20 im trying lol, im at the patchy stage its been about 2 weeks since ive shaved it looks rough but like you an many others said just wait give it a week dont trim the shit dont shave the shit lol so we'll see how it looks in 2 -3 months

I'm 20 yrs and luckily my father has a very strong beard. (if he doesnt shave one day, he has an 3-day-beard lol). So on the genetic level I think I'm good. Right now my beard is weak, especially on the cheeks but it is there. I think I would have a good beard with 24-25 yrs. Just like my brother who is 25 now and has a good beard. the thing is; I don't want to wait that long. are there any methods to accelerate the process? I don't want to take drugs nor injecting Testosterone or some shit like that. (also I've heard that I shouldnt shave for over a month...how do you survive looking that ugly for over a month?? not getting any chicks in that time for sure.) thanks in advance

What do you recommend as far as trimming? I work at a place that requires business casual and my beard is a little crazy and uneven. I don't wanna get rid of the length just look a little less like a homeless wizard.

I like you dude, love the beard, dig your channel. But, THERE IS NO SUCH WORD AS "ACROSST" goddammit

I'm relatively new to the beard game, but I was wondering, as my mustache gets longer I find it annoying that it gets in the way of my lips. Should I trim those hairs or put wax in to keep them out of the way? I'm wondering if it's the kind of thing where you want to tough it out and get through the growth phase vs. just keeping it tidy, so that's why I'm hesitant to trim it.

Hey Bud, I wanted to ask you a few things: 1- Do you grow Grey/Whites ? Do you color them if so then how often. 2- Do you trim & shape, if so how often ? 3- My beard is not so smooth it feels like hay stack not sure if thats the initial stage of growth. Thanks!

My man. Thx you SOO MUCH. I can grow a wicked thick beard but last year I let it go and made the mistake of shaving all the way up to my jaw. Saw a side pic of myself and was horrified and shaved if all down. Saw this video and I followed your tips n BANG it looks AMAZING. thx you so much 👍🏿

Question? What if you've been lining your beard to your chin line should you just let it grow out and line it up properly or should you trim it down some to kind of let it catch up

I'm about 3 months into my beard with no trim, I want to get it trimmed a bit, at least the sides. I have a bald head, so the sides are getting really put of control. Plus the bottom under the chin hair is longer than the chin, so I have to comb it forward to make the chin hair look longer. I feel I can solve all this with a trim, I don't use any special shampoo or beard oil, I think I might start. I notice my beard gets somewhat dried out during the work day

Hey I gro I pretty full ginger beard but my moustache has some extremely blond almost albino patches. Do you recommend dying it so it all looks uniform

That's why I use mountaineer brand products. All natural. I shampoo and condition my beard every two days and have seen a significant improvement over a previous beard growing venture without conditioner and shampooing once a week. The difference was so significant that my wife who hated my beard the first time, now actually rubs my beard and has complimented on how soft it is.

So if u don’t wash it everyday then how u keep it clean if u have a job that u sweat all day?

started growing my beard back out blessed with great genes real hairy beard grows fast how long should I wait to line it up
