BeardTube 14 Years it took you to grow that beard!? I better start tomorrow.
BeardTube were you in the army ?
If I can't wash it everyday will it not feel a bit scruffy with just balm and oil?
BeardTube ... please keep the beard info coming. I hope mines to grow to your length. I dont trim it, i let it be.
BeardTube - Regarding number 4: do you still wash your face as normal when you shower? Just hot water from the head, naturally the beard gets wet in doing this but as long as you don’t use head top products like shampoo or conditioner it will keep it’s natural oil?
Quality video bro 👊
As a 25 year old without a dad i really appreciate this video man 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.
haha too true!
true that true that, my mother often threatens to come cut my beard when I sleep
Three years of grow behind me and still hearing that nagging.
That's so true...
yeah I've had some people, family and friends try to convince me to trim my beard way short! I'm like naw its my beard lol it took time and care and a lot of patients to grow! lol
I feel like if this guy shaved his beard he’d sound different
If he shaved his beard they’d be another beard hiding there
What a goat 😆
😂🤷🏾♂️😂
Nah lol
Lmao
can you donate a little of your trimmings so I can paste on my head. thanks
Let's set up a Hair gofund me :) have all the viewers send in a few strands lol
Yeah I´d appreciate some hair back on my head. Since I started balding I shave my head and I love to answer to questions that my head and facehair swapped places ;-)
Pluck n tuck
James McDermott obvious edgy troll is obvious
I've got some pubes and ass hair you can have right now real talk
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.
What if it’s at the top of your beard on your cheek?
I want a beard no longer than the man in the video, maybe a little shorter
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!
very true!
I always say that I'll trim/shave my beard "tomorrow" and so along with the free beer tomorrow _never_ comes. If I feel that trimming/shaving my beard is a good idea today and still in 24 hours then perhaps - any "urge" to shave it off goes away entirely after a few hours....
same here
I've never had that...
So true. I remember going through this stage like it was yesterday. Luckily I resisted.
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!!!
Hydrant Hydrocram what did you do to help grow your beard?
@@KimJongChill I followed the advice in these videos as best I could. I stopped trimming it every time it started getting bushy and just let it grow. The ugly growth stage is temporary, you just have to be patient until it passes. Once you have enough beard to really work with then you can start trimming and shaping. I started using product...beard oils and balms. They really do work to soften the beard and prevent itching and irritation. Using a hair dryer on low setting with a beard brush to straighten takes only a couple minutes but works great. The best thing, as was said at the end of this video, is the compliments. I get a lot now. I see a lot of men with awesome beards that I envy, but there are people all over who think the same thing about my beard. Its great. Keep watching BeardTube
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.
Currently in that phase haha. I know it'll fill in with time. Patience is key!
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.
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.
Very true!!
@ Jae-Sung Park. Beard advice from an Asian Dude? Jesus, my sister probably has a better beard than you.

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’ve seen this video a bunch of times and I am not ashamed.
no shame in my game 😜
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.
How’d it go?
My pro tip: Beard oil completely gets rid of the itchiness during the first months of growing a beard.
yea that's very true
ScubaTube Every since I started using beard balm Honest Amish, I've been getting pimples underneath my beard
@zac davis, Try washing your beard every other day. Sometimes the acne comes from buildup of oils and dirt. Most beard balms and oils can help moisturize and protect your skin, but you still have to do some good cleaning pretty often. Using balms on a freshly washed beard will work wonders, as well. I'm not saying you have poor hygiene or anything, but maybe change your washing/balming habits and see if it helps any.
I've been using Honest Amish since I started growing mine, and haven't had any issues. Then again, it could just be something in their formula that doesn't work for you!
For me beard oil didn't really help much. My itchiness did end up going away after 2 months though. Well worth the wait
BeardTube is it cool if I use dove soap on my beard? It's about a month old and preety much everyday wash it with it
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!
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.
another point is.. just let it grow!
very true
Well tbh i let it for about 3 months and i had an awfull gottie. Then someone told me ro shave it evry3 days and after 3 months i saw hairs popping on my jaws ect.. I know they say that shaving doesnt help but I think it helped me lol ..I did not have even one single hair on my jaw before i started shaving. Also I didnt change my routine or anything (hours of sleep ect , i read that when u sleep right u get more testosterone ) being almost 22 without a beard, it hurts man 😂😂
Jack ez Back dude......not being able to grow a beard at 22 is nothing. I see young bucks complaining about not being able to have a beard and they are like 16-25. It's time and genetics. Some times it takes people until they're 30s to be able to grow one.
Simple yet... for some people it works best
29 and I still have patches. It's all good. Just let it grow.
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.
Naz U I'm no longer a beard brand fan but the "your beard looks like shit" video is one of the best beard videos on the Web such great advice
Naz When u first start growing it.. u gotta make it past the full scruffy stage.. after that its been smooth sailing for me
But once you go to the barber and he lines it up, you second guess yourself and say "Im loookin gooooood 😉 wtf was I saying?? Shave my beard I must be crazy" I feel you
@@motalkbadazs man i shaved my beard after growing it for 7 months and im depressed. Second day of the beginning.
@@57HEMIviken Why are you no longer a fan of Beard Brand? What did they do to you to turn you away?!
I’m still “back in the day” stage lol thanks for the tips
Man, I’m trimming along my jawline! So glad I watched this. Thank you for the helpful tips!!
same here, dude. this is the first time i've committed to growing it out and then i learned not to shave with the jawline. Oh well. We live n learn.
I'm trying to help my BF get his beard right, so I appreciate you making this video to help me understand!!
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?
Oh wow, I honestly don't think I have ever had that negative of a reaction to my beard. I guess if it happened, I would insult their breath and just remember there's like 1 person that will say something bad about it, and 1000 that will give you a beard compliment
Ask her when the last time she showered was. If she says last night say damn! Last night?! Don't you think it's about time for another one? If she say this morning, just say damn could've fooled me about time for another one.
When "adults" say things like this I instantly go into "this person is not all there" mode. I'd respond just as I would to a child. I'd laugh and say something like you think so? Why do you say that? Think of kids say the darnest things... that's the vibe. Really any person who thinks that's okay to say is not probably all there on some level. Trust me when I say your day will be a lot better if you laugh and wish them a good day. Tell your story on your terms " I met this crazy person on the elevator". Just my take! Hope she didn't discourage you.
Beards don't suit everyone, she could have been trying to help a brother out? I saw one guy on rainbow six siege pro league commentating... He looked a right idiot lol
Could clearly see it's well groomed etc (must have taken at least a year to grow) non the less, it ain't for everyone
John Doe people are kinda obliged to give a good comment. So generally speaking, you will always receive more positive comments than negative.. unless you're online ofc :-/ irl I mean.
Constructive criticism is good tho

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
Hey, I think you're the first woman to comment on the beard videos!! Thanks for the compliment!
@@BeardTube appreciate the effort to teach everyone man ! I've been going for a month and i really wanna shave lmao,i'm resisting the urge 😅😅
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 :)
Thanks for making this video. I am one of those guys with doing jaw line shaving. I am over 50 and i am finally able to let my beard grow due to my profession. I am glad i saw your video now instead of 2 years from now.
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.
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)
Thanks

As someone who's recently decided to grow a beard, these tips will come in handy.
I feel blessed. I am oblivious and like 4 or 5 months into my beard before I feel like I need to give it attention. Nobody has talked me out of it and I do get compliments but I haven’t even trimmed. I feel like now it’s hella dry and I’m trying everything to soften it up lol. Stay educated form the start guys
The hand neckline advice was awesome! Thanks bro 🤜🏽
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.
Yea that never helps for sure
That’s my biggest issue. No a fidgeter and when I have nothing in my hands my hand goes straight to me beard. I’m working on breaking it.
Orang Ini Nih Yang Bakar Kitab suci Alquran 😢
this would explain quite a bit. whenever I get nervous or bored on long drives, I tend to mess or twist my beard. I never thought that twisting it would stunt the growth but it makes sense. I'll definitely try to break that habit. Thanks for the advice
Definitely not twisting my beard right now lmao... Noted!
Good tips. I have had bearded face 20 years, never used any chemicals for it. Now I have used beard oil 3 weeks and will continue for rest of my life.
42 And Never Grew more then A Chinstrap / Goatee and Last few months My Life has Changed mostly for the worse so A life change May be what the doc Ordered. This is the First Beard care Vid I’ve ever watched And it’s 2022 🧔♂️
Another good one is ... when in doubt, grow it out ... and you can't trim your way to a big beard
yes, very true!!
Trimmed it prematurely myself.. at about 3 months growth. I'm currently at month 5 should I keep it going or start over ?
@@opens11 mate. When in doubt, grow it out
@@ellisstanley7361 I've kept it and now it's looking better !
@@opens11 good stuff mate
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.
JeanGTech welcome to the bearded community
@@TheBeardDood Thanks for the welcoming! I'm on the "you look like crap stage," but I'm definitely enjoying the journey. Going for that yeard!
JeanGTech you got this! Dont get discouraged during the current stage, most feel like it wont get better and shave it off.
I've been trying to grow a beard for the past 3 years. I couldn't get past the weird phase during the first 90 days. It wasn't itchy or bothering me, it just didn't look healthy. I tried baby lotion and other types of lotion but nothing worked. Finally just recently I said the hell with it and just let it grow for the past 4 months. Just a week or 2 ago I found these videos and others that gave great advice. I won't have the money to get a good beard balm until after the holidays but I did get some coconut oil today. And holy shit, it is a night and day difference. I washed it real good, trimmed my cheeks and neck. Then put the oil one it. Tonight my hair is soft my skin doesn't feel or look like crocodile skin and there is a healthy shine to it. It blows my mind what a difference putting correct stuff in it makes. I'll probably forgo buying a balm and just make my own. I watched one of your videos today about making it and I can't wait to see how mine turns out. Thanks for posting this stuff dude, you're a life saver.
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.
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 was brushing my beard with a toothbrush while watching this 😂
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.
Man totally agree on the conditioner and just overall washing your beard. I used to do the same and using beard oil and I felt like the oil would just sit on top of the hair and feel uncomfortable(probably because the silicone in the conditioner was blocking the oil absorption) now I do like you do. Def a lot more softer and comfortable feel.
Thanks for this video my significant other loves his beard so I want to help him take care of it .
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
Scott Allen true man, George Bruno's advice has transformed my beard.
the guy in the video totally failed this question. He was asked IF HE CONDITIONS then replies about how shampoo is bad because it strips oils. The two aren't always used hand in hand. I often use solely conditioner on the beard in the shower with no shampoo.
I don't think the guy in the video understands this.
I "flick" my beard dry, definitely no sullfates or shampoo in the beard. Condition every now and then, oil DAILY. I use about two eye droppers worth, it's a lot though I can afford it (I make my own oils). It's so soft. My beard is medium length, only about reaching the adam's apple. It's big enough for people to say "wow, big beard/good beard" if that provides context. Nothing crazy or special though.
Precisely. Conditioner doesn’t strip your hair of its natural oils. Shampoo does because that’s what it was made for.
Beard straighteners! Best beard product I’ve gotten in a long time. I’m tan and have a curly beard, and people would always assume it’s some religious or cultural thing before I started straightening it. It also looks like two inches longer straight.
I always had a short, neatly trimmed goatee, but never had a full beard until last year. When I decided to let it go and let it grow, I became frustrated with that awkward stage of beard growing when the sides were too short and stuck out no matter what I did and the chin part stuck too far forward in a point, so I kept on hackin away at it to try to shape it...no good! Now, I have began only trimming the beard to shape it slightly, but never hack away at it as I had previously done. I let it go and dealt with the stage where it doesnt look great. I have also begun using beard butter, beard balm and beard oil...THAT makes all of the difference..I can shape it and it stays. My advice is...don't keep cutting it...you'll never get there if you do and, use beard products to train it...they're all great!
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"...
@Brayan Morgan, no, it was a real beard. It just wasn't prophet-length at that time (now it's almost there, my profile pic is outdated) and it was neatly trimmed, but it was full and dense. Think Richard Karn in "Home Improvement" or Zach Galifianakis in "The Hangover." I don't think you'd call either of them a "stubble."
Exactly when i stopped shaving at my jaw line was when i started loving my beard more
I've been growing my beard about 3 months and your advice is what I needed. I shave my neckline but after watching your video that will stop and I will go buy some products because your beard looks awesome dude, thx for making this video ..... cheers from DownUnder mate.
Watching your UA-cam channel has benefit me in so many ways. My beard looks much Fuller and thicker I know how to groom it, trim it and wash it. I know what products to use to use on my beard. Keep up the good work.
Thanks so much for keeping up with the channel man!!
How often to brush or comb;
What is too much ?
What is not enough?
Right on :
Thank you sir -
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
Great point on the neckline...since I have not been shaving my neck and just trimming, I am so much happier with my shape.
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 👍🏿
I love that having a beard has become a culture now xD
Simon K. dude beards have been a culture since the beginning of mankind. lol 5000 years ago !
TheBar Addicts homie mankind begun long before 5,000 years ago, don’t sell us short 🧐
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...
Very true!!
fighting the urge right now
I wash my beard about once or twice a week and co-wash every other day with a all natural beard conditioner. The conditioner Co wash allows me to keep it clean but not strip all of the natural oils out of it and keeps his soft and shapeable on top of my oil and Balm routine. But all of your videos are great and have great advice for up-and-coming beardsman or even guys like me who have had a beard for a while and are just always wanting to learn as much as I can no matter what.
Great videos man! Another tips that completely changed the game for me were 1) if you have a patchy beard like mine, just let it grow and you can see the real potential, at the beginning I used to keep it for a month and then I would trim it because of the way it looked, but after a while I kept it for 6 months and saw the full potential... 2) trim stray hairs, it makes it look really tight and full and 3) trim it downwards instead of upward with the trimmer, it helps to keep the length while cleaning the shape out. I would add those... thanks for the info you share, you have an awesome beard brother! Keep it up.
I'm totally that guy going with the chin line. Thanks for the tips!
the shock when i find out that beards even had to be washed. i just thought it was water and facial wash
@mana drama same here, I never use beard or hair shampoo, my hair feels much better
Even Im starting to use that shampoo and conditioner for a beard. We'll see how it goes in the next few months
That honest amish beard balm is my favorite thing ever. I swear by it.
+1 on the oil and balm. I use St. Pierres oakmoss & sandalwood oil along with the same scented beard balm and conditioner. Great stuff.
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.
Very true, most beard washes are essentially the same as regular shampoos
Question.. I wash mine every day and do notice it getting dry and itchy so I switched back and forth to body wash or shampoo thinking it's that.. But now I just wash it with water every day.. Is that fine while I use head and shoulders 2 to 3 times a week? Or don't wash it at all and only on the times I use the head and shoulders.. Im confused on what people mean by not washing it everyday.. I don't want it stinky.. If you don't mine giving me some advice that would be awesome.. It's already about and inch and a half long or more and wouldn't want to cut and start over if I'm damaging it!
What a bad ass. Not
Dude I'm glad someone said it. lol
BeardTube no their not lol
#Subscribed! I just love beards and my bro is trying to grow his. Helpful video here ☺
thanks so much!! I hope everything turns out great for him!!
There's just something about a beard isn't there? Changes everything!
You can't miss anything when it's 5 things YOU wish YOU knew. Great video and great beard.
The only thing I would tell myself from years ago is “ STOP SHAVING LET IT GROW”
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.
Yea I kind of misspoke, I meant like shampooing and conditioning together. I have heard of co-washing, need to try it some time
ohhh ok :) good video my friend thanks for tips. Make sure to massage the "scalp" of beard, leave in for like 15 minutes, then wash out with the coldest water you can possibly get. It makes it as shiny as if you used beard oil naturally.
what about beard shampoo should i use that daily or weekly
conditioners are full of chemicals last time i checked, but yeah i see the point
Weekly is best...at most no more than 3 times depending on what type you have and what you have been doing.
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.
Yea sometimes it just isn't meant to be, but some people have curly beards as well. Loving the 5% shirt bud!
I was 35 before my beard came in fully and is of the public hair variety, but with combing and oils I tamed it... Don't give up hope
How long have u been using rogaine on your cheeks? It takes a year to two years for a full successful beard
So... I grew my first actual beard, and i'm nearing 50. About 2+ months in now and it looks fantastic! Now getting more looks from women. Had many compliments already. Had two people say I looked like Sean Connery. Another said my beard looked "distinguished." And that his beard looks terrible when he tries to grow one. Said it was growing all over. I told him about beard balm and oils. He was like, "Oh, maybe that's why."
Would be cool if he tried to grow one again and got some balm and it turned out all majestic! :)
Fyi
The Canada military are now allowing all of their members to grow beards. Gonna be awesome
Pottsie's Reviews except folks on ship.. a beard nullifies a good seal when using a DRAGER system. ..as well as CBRN masks.
Even the women !
@@WickedG5150 Your school system has really let you down eh.
Is there a good beard grooming kit you'd recommend? Thanks man, seriously.
Had a beard since 2014 and have never used beard oil, balm before. Never done much maintenance on my beard besides brushing it daily with a standard brush or combing it with my mustache comb.
Been struggling with dry skin and red bumps under my beard and thinning maybe the oil and balm would benefit me.
I don't grow my beard long, i keep it pretty trim to my face. It's never been as soft as i wanted. Definitely not gonna use conditioner on my beard anymore!
All your advice is great and most important I took from this one is do not use conditioner and only beard soap it twice a week, SOO IMPORTANT 👍🏼👍🏼
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
I have about 4 beard hairs
We all did at one point lol
Been there lol
I finally let the full neckbeard grow out this time around and it made a hell of alot of difference. Another month I will be at a full years growth.
This video is the only video any man needs to watch for an epic man mane. Difference from boy to man!!!!!!
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. 🤷♂️
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).
Yea, no it's fine to get your beard wet, just don't shampoo it every day. That's all
@ Vera. As a general rule, I'd say wash your beard about as much as you do your ass because they smell about the same. And use distilled water because regular tap water makes you smell like a sissy.
I just started using Baird's Beard oil and beard butter this week. Even with just a month of growth huge difference in the softness. Time for a beard comb.
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.
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!
hahaha, good one
O4 HEMI
the George Lucas effect.
O4 HEMI or just don't trim it at all if your going for the long beard..
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!!
It's always nice when the missus loves the beard
From a guy who's been growing a beard out for 2 years consistently. Anytime I see someone with a nice beard. I shoot a compliment. It creates a good atmosphere. N if the guy decides to shoot up the place. He'll probably spare you because of the compliment. 😲
watching for my husband! I'm super into hair care and he said "can you help me with my beard" 😋
Damn those are some cool tats
thanks!! Nobody ever comments about the tattoos lol
@@BeardTube really bro... I've never seen coloured tats♥️🔥🔥
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?
Your best bet is to do what makes you happy. If it's not a pleasant experience or if you don't like the way it looks, then I wouldn't do it
I still have to the end of the month to decide, but I think I'm going to grow it out. I'm obviously meant to have facial hair so why fight it. Thanks for the helpful tips in your video I'll definitely use them!
I kept a clean shave until I was 23 and a buddy of mine got me to do no shave Nov and I've had a beard ever since, 5 years now. I kept it short until about 4 months ago. My cousin kept nagging me to grow it out like his and boom here I am growing it out and watching these beard tip videos.
I feel I knew more about hair care and styling early on. Looking at pictures a few years ago, I feel I had an awkward phase in terms of appearance. Curiously, I learned more about hair care with a bald head and beard, than when I had a full head of hair and no beard.
This was such an honest chat full of beard wisdom. Great stuff my man.
I would have told myself not to enlist and keep growing the beard. Starting all over again nearly a decade later.
Oh yea they make you shave clean everyday lol. Fudge all that stuff
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?
If you want the homeless man look, you'll have the easiest time growing a beard lol. I bet at about 7 months, you'll look back at pics of you earlier in the year and you'll notice a big difference
ScubaTube I would be eagerly waiting for that seventh month mark!
And yeah, the maintenance is minimal, but the reactions from the people around, are harsh!
It requires serious motivation to keep the out-of-control beard going.
And thankfully you guys are there to help us out!
Thanks Scuba!
how to rub the bread correctly with oils and balms. Not to rub its like a shampoo. Thats a great tip. Causes your beard to curl out. I just learned this today from a great friend.
I haven't shampooed my beard in 3 days and it looks great! Just wet and rinsed with conditioner.
Yea I am now starting to co-wash alot
the amount of oil and/or balm that is ENOUGH
Felix Barboza and how much is enough? Haha
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
well shit man!! Sometimes it's just not in the cards. Have you tried biotin or minoxidil?
ScubaTube no I haven't, just tried not shaving 😂
Justin Metcalfe I've been using biotin and folic acid for about a month and minoxidil about a week and its helped. I'm 29 and it's my first time having any facial hair and its not much.
You aren't wrong on the balms and oil. Makes my beard look incredible
The jawline killed me haha, Thanks for the tips!!!!
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
Yea it's probably the age thing right now, how long have you grown it out for? And you would be surprised, sometimes the beard appears weak to you just because it's shorter, and if you give it some time you might surprise yourself. My dad is arab, and I think that's why I can grow a decent one
James Dean have you heard of the beard board? it's a site where you post pictures of your progress and get helpful tips and feedback. I'm 6 months in on my growth and I still post there, it's great and all are so friendly. it definitely helped me through the rough stages. just search for jefffsbeardboard on Google (yes with 3 f's).
