The part that really struck a chord was that beard attempts (I've done/ am at this stage). This video has really inspired me to give it a go again. Thank you and be safe man.

      I am not sure what to think. It's a very well done video, detailed, your voice is very calming, etc. And you've got some nice encouraging comments from Brayan Morgan and others. But I think that men these days are concerned about their beards just too much. Maybe I am wrong but my understanding is that we grow beards just to bring that masculine manly look back. But If you have (and I am not saying you but in general) 5 different beard/mustache brushes, 20 different oils, shampoos, balms, etc. that means you are doing something wrong.

    Hey man, I'm 18 at the minute but when I was 15 I had a brain tumor which resulted in 8 moths of chemo and a month of radiotherapy. I am obviously happy to be alive and have a great supportive family around me but I lost all my hair and with it all my confidence. I use to find thinks a lot easier but at times the situation brings me into depression. I know it doesn't change me as a person but it is really hard from a young age to louse all my hair. Long story short ... when I came across you channel and saw others who a similar story it made me feel a lot less alone. So thanks

  • @aaronrose3600
    @aaronrose3600 3 роки тому +28

    Guy with a year and a half long beard here. Biggest advice is to just leave it. Shape up the cheek lines and neck a bit (just above Adam’s apple) but leave it. Until at least 6 months then maybe go to the hairdressers and get some shape into it. But then leave it again. Slap some beard oil on morning and night. Beard balm to tame it and you’re done. Beard oil and balm is the key. On a morning my beard is ugly but once brushed and oiled it’s a different story. If you have a messy curly beard then get a round brush and hair dry it on cool so it’s a bit more tamed. Do that after a shower when it’s wet with some beard oil on. Condition it every other day in the shower and do not over wash it. Once a week if that with beard not hair shampoo. My cheeks are thin for the first 3 months then fill out. Don’t over complicate it. Yes it will look like crap and people will comment but just push through and eventually it will all fill out. Also age has a big part to play. I couldn’t grow a beard in my 20s. I’m 30 now and it’s thick and about 7 inches long.

    Great video. I had no idea it was almost 30mins long - it flew by. It was really interesting to follow the stages of your beard journey, especially because I think I've had a similar path. It took me years to really give my beard a chance to come into its own. A couple of years ago I went deep into beard routines and products and I've been hooked ever since. It's so true what you say about knowing the limits of your beard. Once you get that first taste of a big beard, it's so tempting to just let it grow and grow. Now I find myself looking back at some of my content and wishing I didn't stick with the big beard for as long as I did. Recently I've had some big trims and it just clicked that shorter, not-so-huge styles suit me much more. It's all part of the journey though, and that's the fun of it. I love how I'm still learning ways to significantly improve my beard just by subtly changing my trimming and styling routines. I look forward to joining the bald brotherhood at sometime not too far down the line as well. You've made it much less daunting for me. Thanks!

    The reason light passes through the beard is because all the hairs grow at different speeds so the hairs are different lengths! Trim it back to where it’s darkest and then start the process again, trim every 4 months or so, eventually all the shorter hairs catch up and you get a little more length every time but the beard is as full as it can be! I’m about to start my second beard journey. I’m about a month in atm! Keep growin brotha!

    I started my beard growth journey in March this year after failing and abandoning the idea several times in 2020 during the pandemic. It's a whole new experience and a big challenge for me because every time I see my beard in the mirror, I only see the imperfections. And when the thought of giving up again and shaving everything once more comes back to me, I go back to this video and find an incredible motivation not to do it. Thank you so much for your words of encouragement.

Best advise to give is not to compare yourself to others with a bigger fuller beard cause there is always going to be someone with a better beard. Grow what you can and rock it. Do it cause you enjoy it and cause you like it, have fun with it! A beard can sometimes take a month to grow some guys are lucky but other times it takes years.

Also only place facial hair doesn’t grow is where it’s supposed to connect to leave a goatee.

    After getting to the awkward three-month stage during the first quarantine in the spring/summer I shaved it off, but I kind of regretted it a few weeks later.
    So the last three months I’ve been trying again, but this time using a wooden comb and beard balm each day so that it looks and feels better. I’m so much happier with it this time around. I give it a trim once every 10 days or so just to tidy it up but not take off any bulk, clean up the neck and cheek lines et cetera. Going to be doing the beard and buzz cut to look for the foreseeable future I think!

    It's quite painful to loose hair and go bald at 18 years for me but after seeing bald cafe i got inspired and started shaving like a man and ignoring bullies 😎

    Having been plagued with a terrible hairline ‘M’ shaped since 18, and bald spot since 24 I had to shave my head. Gave me so much more confidence as I was always conscious.
    And this video has given me more confidence to work with my beard, 4 months growth and was considering a beard trim, might leave it for another couple before hand. Amazing Video 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

    We’re around the same age and have similar facial hair. More than most videos I have seen. I am at 66 days of growth today, and you have encouraged me to keep going! Thanks bro!
    EDIT: I am now 4 months in and have the thickest beard I’ve ever had. I’ve not trimmed once and people are noticing as well as commenting. So glad I made the commitment and there’s no looking back.

    I have thin beard on my cheeks as well, so I used to trim off the thin parts for the first 3 months and grow something like Khabibs chin strap, but after some youtube research I decided to let the beard on the cheeks grow out as well and now after 5 months its looking pretty good.
    I would suggest u to comb it to the left with a blow dryer, after that comb all beard to the right side with a blow dryer, then comb it up and finally comb it down and it will be straight without curls

    As someone who use minox for beard growth, let me say that sometimes 5-6 months is enough. I went from some patches on the sides and stache to a full beard within 2 months or using it. But the best use of it would be to use the first 2 months on a clean shaved face for a better spread. Its been 2 years now since i ended the course and my beard is even way better then it was before. So minoxidil helps, and fast, u just have to do quite of a research of how to use it, cause not everywhere is a good and reliable info about this.

I decided to not shave it all off, but to keep growing from here. I need to stop doing anything to it for quite some time clearly. I do not plan on using minoxidil. Cheers!

    Main point is, stop comparing your beard to others and give it time!
    I have a thin/patchy beard but when I let it grow in for atleast 3 months it starts to look okayish. Okay enough for me to wanna keep it.
    Not many people have full coverage after a week, that's if you're blessed with beard genetics. Most people need more time to grow.

    There's so much good stuff in this video. If you're trying to grow a beard for the first time you must ignore the critics who implore you to shave and get through six months at least. For me I found on seven months the very people who were vocally critical were now saying how actually they thought it looked really good! It's amazing how many people you will encounter who feel justified in trying to 'police' your facial hair. Some people feel really strongly about it which surprised me first time round. I also think that you almost need to get a lot least one beard under your belt then take it off before you can grow a really successful beard. It's almost like your storing up beard memory in your face if that makes sense. My beard eventually started to go grey and worse the grey was in odd patches and I hated the look so I took it off and currently I just have stubble which I'm happy with. Also I prefer the low maintenance of stubble in the same way as my buzz cut and in the autumn/winter it's a blessing with all the wind and rain and hat wearing etc here in the UK but hey that's just me. I love this channel.

    Awesome video mate. We’re the same age and I’m like you it wasn’t really until my late 20s I thought I could pull off a “beard” for all you guys that get to 1-2 months and in still looks terrible don’t worry. The first few months of my beard especially month one my beard looked awful. You really have to give it around 6 months of not touching it at all and you’ll get a better picture of how your beard is going to look. Now I’m at the 7-8 month mark and my beard is far better than I ever thought it could be. Sure I still have weak spots like most guys but the length really does wonders to cover them up. Don’t give up take wearing a mask 😷 to its full advantage and hide your face during the awkward stages, I did and I’m glad I did.

    Lads listen to young Harry he is wise beyond his years. I inherited MPB from my father and I went the minoxidil route and then spent a fortune on hair transplants which didn't work. My hair loss was delayed for years as I have been taking Propecia for my prostate at an age younger than most men. The pandemic may have been a blessing as I had a hard time getting to a barber so I used my head as it were and started to buzz it shorter and shorter to take the shock effect away a wise decision. After listening to this fine gent I said "what the blank" and shaved it off. I only wish I had done it years ago I would have saved myself a lot of money and anguish. As for the beard I must say Harry is spot on once again, don't give in to shaving it off just let it grow, let it grow, let it grow. As with the head this takes courage and most importantly patience. If one is lucky enough to have the great head shape and facial structure as he and I do, trust me you will not regret it. It may be psychological, but the shaved head counterbalanced with the mid to long beard "rocks it" as he would say. I can't quite explain it, but it gives one an almost erotic appearance, perhaps the beard with the baby bum smooth head, but I cannot stop touching my head. The only departure is that my hair was all grey so I have been dying my beard with the most popular beard dye on this side of the pond and again for me it looks so bloody natural. I am as happy as an Ipswich clam, Ipswich Ma. that is. Everyone is entitled to their opinion as to his beard length, but in about one more month or so mine shall look just about the same as his; great in my opinion. Lastly, if your girlfriend doesn't like your shaved head or your beard in her face, get a new girlfriend or better yet go with a guy they will be on you like white on rice with a lot less psychological drama. I am now sixty-five years old and most people think I look twenty years younger, so much so that I have to constantly prove my age to get a senior citizen discount. There are times when a man has to do what a man has to do!
