    Even though I'm able to grow a beard, I still have some places where I can't grow yet or are patchy in some areas. And honestly speaking it felt as though you were talking directly to me, because I am 23yrs of age. I appreciate your words of advice and wisdom Eric 🙏.

    This is 100% true. I’m 39 and for the first few weeks my beard looks like crap. After a few months people call me Grizzly Adams or Hippie or hobo or Sasquatch. It’s the same with dreadlocks. They look like crap in the beginning but once they mature you wake up one morning and you’re like damn they look good.

    been growing my beard for 2+ years. i was always hesitant to just let it grow because my neck and under my chin would end up looking like i have stubbly like long 5 o clock shadow and I'd lose all dimension to my face. So i tried to shave my neck and under my chin for about 6 weeks. By that time, my face had some decent length hairs so when under my chin and on my neck was left to grow, it looked like a cohesive unit. Beard is now down to my sternum and looking great. Been following Beardbrand along the journey. Great stuff. Great source of men's self care. Thanks!

    I've always had either a gotee or full beard from the time I could grow enough to do so. ZZ top was always an inspiration for me as well as the older men I grew up around including my father. At 42 I still have some thin spots but with 7 years of growing and 6 inches of beard below my chin you wouldn't be able to tell.

      @@Noctifern maybe 8 or 9. Any longer and I start to hit termainal beard length. I get it trimmed about every 2.5 to 3.5 months along with my hair. I work in a semi professional environment and my job requires me to wear a dress shirt and slacks or a suit (a tie is optional). My department and position also require a high degree of grooming for any facial hair. I pushed the boundaries for years to get to where I am with my beard within the company. A feat that was not possible 10 years ago.

    I'm 35 years old and have just started to grow out a full beard for the first time, or at least I try.
    I have a pretty bright beard growth which make it kinda hard to recognize in the first week.
    It's also not very dense and I have a few patches on the cheeks which is one reason I never tried to grow a full beard but because of this channel I decided to give it at least 2 months and in week 2 now I begin to see some differences already!
    If it doesn't work out then it doesn't but at least I know the potential and can do something with it .

    I'm in my early 20s and have been stuck with a weak pube stache and "older brother" 5 chin hairs since I got out of hs. But considering my genetics, I likely just won't grow facial hair properly for a few years or even a decade or two. Dad had a mustache most his life so I doubt I'll not grow a good stache.

  • @johnv9594
    @johnv9594 23 дні тому +2

    The key to growing a thick beard is to stop shaving due to laziness, and not actually caring about growing a beard. The cosmos recognizes this. This will increase growth of all unwanted hair.

    From a chinstrap 'shave it off!' she said in 1973, surprised her coming home from college.
    Part of it is not liking me to look like a rabbi (but yeah we are Jewish) and I don't want to either. With the sides off I give a little more biker look than Rabbi LOL!
