I had cancer. Lost every hair I had. Normally, I shaved my head since I was in my early twenties. I'm letting it go out of spite now. Haven't trimmed my face since October. Girlfriend hates it. My beard is my new hobby thanks to you.
@@neurosmos Been growing mine for 14 months. She still don't care for it. But, she did show me a pic of it the other day and said she preferred it that way. It was only 4 months growth at the time.
I've been battling cancer, melanoma stages 1,3, & now 4, for nearly 6 years. I've had 3 surgeries and radiation, but haven't ever been on chemotherapy. After this next surgery, here in about a week, I will be on some form of treatment that will be more harsh on the body. So, does chemotherapy have the same side effect on facial hair, as it does on the hair on head?
58 years old and 4 weeks into my first full beard. I lived my whole life thinking I could never grow a beard as it was so blotchy. My beard looks almost exactly as the one in the video so I guess I am on par. I'm going to give it at least 20 weeks before I trim and decide if I want to keep it. Thanks for the videos Beardbrand
I am sticking with you on this challenge! I'm only 18 but blessed with what I consider great beard genes for my age. I've never been able to make it for very long past a shorter 1 month beard because I have weaker growth on my chin. But you are inspiring me to stick with it.
I started growing my first beard 5 weeks ago. 47 years old and going to see what happens by 90days. I have a patchy beard but these videos/beard brand are giving me the confidence to keep growing.....
Now THIS is the most informative beard video I have watched. I want to learn how to care for my beard and style it, but this is dead useful information. Thanks, mate!
I'm in the middle of my fourth week growing my beard. After seeing your beard previously and seeing you now, this gives me hope that my beard can become epic too! Thank you!
Thank you Greg for doing this. You are an inspiration! I have almost the same patchy spots in my beard as you. They kept me from growing it out for a long time, but seeing you do this and seeing the beard you had I know there is hope and I am now starting my beard journey. I am almost 2 months in.
Your beard is freaking awesome! That's about the same length I want to grow it along with a huge mustache (if genetics treat me well). I'm 5 weeks in, and it seems pretty decent for a 19 year old dude.
The fact you got that big bald spot on the left side and can still rock a full looking beard when it's long makes me have a little hope in my patchy beard
Mr420weirdo there’s definitely hope, I have patches just like him...not necessarily bald but just less hair that grows slower. I’m rocking a beard 3 inches below my collar bone and it looks full all around, always getting comments and compliments.
My beard at current is at 6 months growth from clean shaven back June 30th. My job as an ER nurse sometimes changes how long I can let it grow. But, thankfully I'm a to grow a very nice beard. I tell them it's the trade off for not having hair on top of my head anymore. Chers to the excellent and informative videos always. Beard On !!
Unfortunately my mustache is very thin and terminal at about a half an inch but it improves yearly and I am almost 21 years old I have hope of growing a respectful beard in a few years and I hope none of you will ever feel negative about the growth before the age of 30,there is still hope
Great video Greg! I am also about 5 weeks in. Listening to your counseling and encouragement has given me greater confidence in my beard journey. Thanks!
Started my 1 year journey for beard and hair growth from shaved scalp and face. I am already LOVING it!!!! Growing out fast and strong. Take your vitamins and do not forget to use your treatments if any! It is awesome!
I'm 37 and watching your videos made me decide to grow a beard I've never let mine grow more than a month, only my sides are little patchy but seems to be filling in it's been a month and half so far.
Another great beard educative video; thanks Greg! Those "terminal" terms and facts were just good to know! We love learning more and more on beards and staches!
I started to grow a mustache at the latter part of my fourteenth year. It wasn’t hard or coarse and didn’t really lengthen out till I got into my fifteenth year. Now of course the stache I got just keeps on growing out and is coarse hair and thick. It took a longer time till the rest of my facial hair started to grow out. But it was all uneven in my twenties and not until I was thirty five was I able to finally grow a decent and all red for the most part, beard. I’m 56 now, and my beard is almost all grayish-white.
Got very much inspired to grow the beard I have now thanks to your video's. Nobody in my family is really able to even grow a beard but I (luckely!) do. Actually really enjoying maintaining it all too!
I’m at five weeks right now. My sideburns seem to be growing faster than anything else. My cheeks, which were patchy for the first four weeks, have filled in really nicely in the last week.
good video im blessed i guess i have a full thick beard its at 7 its still growing your videos are great i have learned lot im in my 60s i hope it will keep growing i take good care of it thank you for what you do
Started growing my beard in April and cut it in August. Started again shortly after. Noticed the beard growth and pattern is noticeably different. More hair than before if you can believe it on an already thick beard. Been blessed and cursed with this beard and a deep voice since the age of 12-13.
I gave it a shot, startet growing My beard for the first time after seeing your videos, and Are around week 10 or 12. Thank for the great videos and tips it helps alot. Cheers from denmark.
Your Videos are really great! I‘ve seen it last week for the first time. Well, now in the age of 53 i’m a beginner. It’s the end of my first week, but not the end of growing. Greatings from germany Ralph
Just as you described. My beard at the center of my face is coming in slower. I actually noticed it after week 3. My original thought was it was due to rarely shaving those areas of my face. Thanks for the update.
You definitely know what you are talking about and that makes your content even more interesting to watch 😊 I must have had a full 7 year growth period for my beard because I have had my beard down to my stomach (well might as well say ZZTOP beard lol) but I shaved it and now I have been growing it out for about 8 months and it isn't growing as fast as it once did, now of course I am much older now and it has been about 20 years since I had it that long so maybe age has something to do with it but yea, I don't think it will get that long now, but we will see 😊 everyone that has followed me here on RU-vid has known me with a beard so I won't cut it again so now more than ever, I am anxious to see how it will end up. My mustache would be much longer than it is if I haven't been cutting it loke I do though and seeing your beard makes me wonder about all I could do with my mustache lol. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge my friend and God bless 😊 if you would be so kind to reply and let me know if age can have a barring on growth or not. The reason why I question it is because age has definitely not affected my head hairs growth by any means as you can see in my videos 😊 I do need a hair cut for sure there lol
im on day 41 of my yeard, my moustache is growing all uneven half is longer than the other side. my soul patch grows fast, normally I trim that the most, but slight below that the hair doesn't grow past like eyebrow length. for some reason this time growing my beard it's growing more towards under my ears! thanks for the great content as always!
Regarding hair below your shoulders: “we’re not heading there I don’t think...” it’s cool watching these after the fact. Of course you did go there and have just cut it back again . 😊 I did not know that about different parts of tour beard going terminal a different rates. With every video I watch, I find out how much more I didn’t know about beards.
Great video! I am super stoked. I won my first beard contest last weekend. Now, we aren't talking super formal contest. It's just a little fun contest at the hockey game, but hey a W is a W. Ha! I got to meet some really great dudes in a beard club in town. I hope to meet up with them at some point as the schedule permits. Beard on, bros!
Great video! I've been in great need of this kind of information, hence I am always concerned if I will ever get the beard I want. Although I am young and hoping that my mustache hasn't given up on growing.
My hubby to be had been growing his with yours and his is the opposite his mustache and goatee/soul patch area are dense and on his sides it’s more sparse. I’m just so happy it’s growing back!
I just turned 52 and I noticed new face hair growing out in places on my face that were patches now filling in. Does anyone else notice they grow more hair on the face as they get older?
Day 36 here. Slow growth on the cheeks as expected but just starting to get long enough to cover some skin so appears thicker than it is. Thanks for the updates.
Wow that makes a lot of sense about the French fork but I’m quite the opposite which took me so long to understand this concept. the strongest growth is always down the center of my lip and chin while lacking behind to a strong degree on the sides of my face, but I do have an extreme issue with my beard going terminal, my beard is constantly shedding and saddens me that I can’t grow a beard beyond 3 inches even with a full year of growth
I was pretty blessed with the beard DNA. It comes in pretty evenly and full on my whole face, never seems to go as long as i'd hope it to though. The hair on my lower lip isn't as thick as i'd like it but I don't think it goes terminal to quick because it continues to grow until i'm annoyed with it and trim it up. I always get it a couple inches below the collar with my beard then it seems to stop growing...by then I shave it off for spring but this year I had a wedding I had to go to in oct so I had a small trim on the sides to make it look nicer and it is shorter then normal this time of year as a result and THIS time I think i'm going to go the whole summer without shaving and see where it is in the fall and if that extra time changes anything! Anyway great video as always, beard on my peoples!
Every time I think about shaving my beard off I watch one of your videos for motivation. I've never let it grow this long. I started with a guy goatee for 3 weeks, then started a chin strap beard. Then 3 weeks later I stopped shaving completely except below my Adam's apple. So it's many different lengths. It's a mess, my wife likes it. I've never had a professional beard from and I'm 51. It's about 3 months old. If anybody knows of a good beard trimmer in the San Francisco Francisco area I'd appreciate it. Big fan of you Greg.
I dont know if im doing the right thing, but the way I deal with the different speeds my beard grows is triming more the parts that grows faster, so the areas that grows slower are able to reach... At the end I notice that my beard looks fuller and like a big one piece
Thank you for the helpful video Greg. My beard s 8 months long I’ve have one maintenance trim a during the summer and as of now my moustache is down to my bottom lip when brushed out. I also find that I’m eating my moustache when it comes to meals. I’m definitely going for a tweard I love my beard it’s part of my identity now I wouldn’t be without it. Beard on Greg you look great
Yeah, I started growing my goatee out 15 years ago and it stopped growing about 6 inches below my chin years ago. My beard is very thin. The genetics I was pre-determined with.
I used to have a 6” long beard. I felt like it stopped growing so I cut it off. Big mistake! I felt so sad afterwards lol. I just started on Valentine’s Day 2019 on my Yeard journey. Gonna make this happen again and I’m not cutting it this time. Love your beard btw.
A beard normally develops towards the end of puberty. The most common ages at which it manifests, varies between 13 and 16 years, usually starts with the whiskers, lower lip and a few strands on the chin, it is normal to have only that until the age of 16.
Great information, thanks. i do grow the moustache first for a week , then gotee for a week and finally let the beard grow. This way they seem to be growing at a similar rate and fill out better.....after years of doing it....on and off.....
Lookin' good, Greg! I love the look of grey beards and greying beards/hair with streaks in them, and while I'm far from that stage myself, there's one thing I've always wondered... If I were to never cut or shave my beard (not completely, at least), would it still turn grey the same way it would if I were to go clean shaven then grow a beard once I'm starting to grey?
Your beard tends to turn grey around the ching area faster than your head... this is subjective to my observations in the uk but in the whole I would say it's pretty much accurate.
My beard growth starts to slow down around the 5 inch mark. Which will take it roughly 10 months to grow, with a little trimming maybe every couple of weeks. At around 3 inches the left side also tends to curl outwards and the hair is much thinner compared to the right. So I trim the right more often to let the left side sort of catch up. I'm 38 btw.
Facial hair isnt like head hair, trimming doesnt promote growth. A wise man once said. " You will never trim your way to a long beard" it's very true. Let it grow in length of course maintain the sides, but leave the length alone . If you didnt trim you would have had 6+ inches at 10 months, just let it be and you will see.
@@carterhall2653 I've grown a yeard twice in my lifetime. First time was about 8 years ago. Waaaay before the whole beard boom kicked in. The second time was around 3 years ago. So I've had my fair share of trial and error since way back then and would say that I'm quite familiar with the process. Trimming every few weeks is a must for me. I'm in a manager position and have to look presentable. All im really saying is, that my terminal length starts pretty early, compared to many of the über beards and yeards+ we are shown on social media etc.... It's just different for everyone and no one should hold their expectations up to anyone else' standards.
I always thought that my hair growth was very weak and other guys half my age are growing much better. But now comparing to you, I really can't complain much. I have about the same result as you at 6 week
when i first got a decent beard growth at 29 i noticed that in my 30's my beard got a boost ( meaning it grew double the thickness like another full layer was applied) i still have baby hair on the moustache ( under the longer hairs) i guess they will kick in sooner or later as well.
I am definitely going to send my son to this series. I think he has given up on growing a beard, and I think he would look good with one. However, we do have a genetic factor and that may be an issue. But there’s always hope!
I'm about 14 weeks in and my beard is still growing normally. Last time it took me about 8 months until I saw a slowdown. I have yet to trim my beard at all, but I'm planning on having it sculpted in a little over 2 weeks since 4 months for me seems about the right time to do so.
I don't have that issue my moustache grows like crazy but I've never grown it out, but I am now I think I could grow the moustache at least half way down my lip.
I have noticed the reflection of the photo light in the corneas of the eyes in the videos recently which seems to be a ring like one. It may be just me but it also is distracting and odd and almost looks like an ocular defect such as a cataract or corneal problem. I’m probably asking a lot but could you ask the photographer to use a different system. Gosh just blocking parts of the ring might look better. I really like these videos and apologize for complaining but perhaps no one else had noticed or commented.
5 weeks in and my patches have started to close up, but my moustache still has a lot of catching up to do, I am hoping it is because it is light in colour and not because it has gone terminal already.
I grew my beard for three years and one month before shaving, it reached about one inch above my bellybutton when damp; should've been longer but I trimmed a lot of split ends in the process. Soul patch was about four inches. I trimmed the mustache several times to keep certain length so I don't know how long it could grow. The areas I did noticed to grow much slower and alright stop when the rest of the beard kept growing were the cheeks.
I think my whole beard is terminal. I may just not have it in my genetics to grow a big full beard lol. I've been growing for 6 months, using shampoo, beard oil, brushing, etc. and seems like I've reached the pinnacle of my beard growth. Love the videos Greg, keep it up!
My head hair is halfway down my back now and still growing, I’ve not had it cut for over 3 and a half years. The only part of my beard which only grows to a certain length is the ‘soul patch’ area. It stops at around 3cm. The rest of my beard just seems going
This gentleman drops serious knowledge. I feel like all of the videos on RU-vid are just young cats trying to push their "video sponser" and they don't have the years of experience this guy does.
2.5 months in and my only issue is my beard is so thick and curly I get knots in it. I'd give it a solid 9.5. I don't have any patches on the beard just solid growth. I seem to not grow hair just under my nasal septum. I'll take that.
I get the forking effect. I’ve been growing a goatee out for a year and a half. The hair to either side keeps growing but the middle seems to have stopped. The sides are about two inches long but the middle stopped at about an inch and a half. On two occasions I trimmed the sides to the same length as the strip down the middle to even it out but within two weeks the sides outgrew the middle so I just don’t bother. My moustache needs weekly trimming to stop it overhanging my mouth. I’m lucky in that the ends of my moustache will curl up neatly without the use of wax or oil, but the tips of my beard are now curling up as well - bizarre.
Im 31, my gotee (typical upper lip, chin & the rest of the mouth area) all grow fast, all grow thick & seem to keep growing. My chops/burns/cheeks dont seem to grow at all.
