Patchy beards need at least 4 months to show what they can achieve. By then look at your beard and carefully decide which style suits you the best according to it's density. Just keep short or shave the weak parts of it and keep well groomed the strongest. Love what you have and rock it.
Bingo man. Everyone is different and when guys give up on their beard after only a couple of weeks, it makes me sad. Gotta let it grow to see what you got!
Sounds true mate my beard was not looking so good at 3-4 weeks mark until I hit the 5 -6month mark and it was looking way better and thicker at that period of time .So beard takes time to grow Promise yourself that u would not give up before 6 month mark ....and u will be amazed what you can grow...
I'm currently 22 and growing out my beard for the first time. I never grew it out before because it's pretty patchy. I'm currently about 2 months into my beard growth and what I have noticed so far is that the longer the beard gets the more the patches start to fill in and get covered up. I'm hoping that by months 4 or 5 that most of or all the patches will be covered up. All that to say that you never really know if you can grow a beard or not unless you give it a try, just let it grow for a few months without trimming it and you might find that you can actually grow a decent beard just like me, I never thought I could grow one before I gave it a real chance to show its potential.
I am a fellow patchy beardsman, and I have been on the beard train for about a year and a half or more. Everything Eric says in this video is right on point. Most importantly is #5. I have seen a major difference in my beard since when I first started and was uneducated on beard care. Great video for us patchies.
Naaa, I think that Jeff´s beard is better, because of the crazy mustache he has. What Carlos on the other hand has is, that he still maintains thick and full hair, while having such a dense beard. Jeff is kind of balding which Carlos isnt, but it suits Jeff.
My beard is patchy... especially around the sides. Personally I'm 6 months into growing around my goatee area and I've recently let the rest grow in for about 2 months now. Although it's not a great looking beard I'm happy to just grow it out, rock what I've got and sources like beard brand really give those of not naturally blessed with great beard DNA a lot of encouragement. Thanks Eric and the team.
Thanks, Eric! I'm only sixteen but I've been growing for a while. Still got the patchy thing going, but now I have some tips. You've always made me feel better about having a patchy beard, even if it's not a full one! I'll continue to watch your content and I'm confident I'll have a beastly beard some day.
Dekez you're too young just wait till you're 20 or more I'm 23 and my beard is still growing. my beard started really growing at 23 and I bet you that at 24 I will have a full beard but trust me I had a really shitty beard before
Sounds true mate my beard was not looking so good at 3-4 weeks mark until I hit the 5 -6month mark and it was looking way better and thicker at that period of time .So beard takes time to grow Promise yourself that u would not give up before 6 month mark ....and u will be amazed what you can grow...
Almost a month in, longest ive ever gone without shaving and i plan to go 6 months. 24 years old and its definetely alot fuller than i thought it would be.
🙌🏼 Preach! 🙌🏼 I am my own worst critic, I believe I should be president of the patchy beard club. No matter the nice compliments I’m getting on the beard growth, I still have self doubts on the growth and look. I’m 45, first time beard grower, I’m in my 3rd month and I wince at the areas I wish would grow in from one day to the other. Thanks to videos and forums like this right here, keeps my trimmer and shave blade away in the cabinet for another day.
I love your positive vibe. Always makes my day a little bit better. Inspired me to focus more on the positive things in my life and also to be more encouraging to the people around me. Beard on.
Really enjoy these motivational videos especially on patchiness. I, myself suffer from a thin, patchy, apparently "pubey" looking beard. But I try to rock what I got and your videos help with reassuring that it's okay with what I got.
What I did was: Keep trimming your beard but never shave it right at the skin. I am doing this for like 6 months now. At the start my beard seemed rather patchy at some places. But now there are hairs growing out at these patchy places that I thought would never grow. Just don't shave it all off. Give these patchy places some time. There might be some hair coming out of them reaally really slowly. As said, I'm 6 months in and its still getting thicker and fuller. Very slowly, but it does.
I'm getting mine grow for the first time ever yes I hate the itchy sucks for the timing I'm doing for experienced and at the same time putting my patience to the test.. must important this experience it's showing me to look good not for approval or be a show off I'm not cocky I'm confident cause I deserve it to look good cause it makes me happy just how you deserve to look good. We all deserve to look good.
Its about getting the most out of what you have and that applies for anything you have. You just have to live with what you got and not be angry because of patchynees or whatever :) be proud of what you got like you said :) great video
another great video, Been growing my beard out for almost two years now and it wasn't till after a full year that my soul patch started to darken up and match the rest of my beard in color. I have had roommates who get annoyed and stop growing their's out after a few weeks and I'm always telling them it takes way longer than that to see what your beard can be.
You're beard is one of the best looking in my opinion brother. Growing my beard 6 weeks in and my fiance is touching it non stop. I bought your beard balm and oil I also bought a brush and mustache comb. A little growing tip I've noticed with my beard is to wash with a facial scrub (good quality) like teige Hanley and moisturize at night with organic extra virgin coconut oil. My beard feels thicker and looks healthier.
Well, the thing is, for example, if your cheeks are very patchy, only longer beard can cover that, and short would look ugly. Like trying to pull something that you can't. It's nice when you have full coverage, so you can wear it short or long...but with patchy beard, only longer beard is the option if you want it full.
Just found this channel, 31 and finally have a job where I can have facial hair. Always thought my facial hair genetics sucked. Maybe I just need to let it grow for a few months before shaving it after two weeks
I tried to grow it wild but after it grew nearly an inch I found out I have a huge patch from my goatee to neck... my beard literally divides into two parts 😣
It's always tough watching these videos because I see all these great beards and being 19 I can hardly grow anything my family has pretty good facial hair so I'm just waiting at this point haha
The problem with mine is the goatee part of the beard doesn’t connect with my mustache and the beard itself grows more down on my neck than my face that’s why I’ve been just staying clean shaven for years now because a beard or any facial hair just isn’t for me I look better without any facial hair anyways.
Hes right..i had a spot on my cheek that had a few hairs only it looked super thin but i let it grow anyway..hairs actually started coming in around them😲 in about 6 weeks..now its nowhere near as thin ..so let it grow boys
Theoretically, yes. The patches do have a chance of filling in over time. It may be a much longer time than you anticipate though, keep that in mind. - jack
I was under the assumption that if I trimmed back what I have the rest of the slower growing hairs would catch up and fill in some of those spots. Is there something to this or should I just not trim it at all. I was going to trim it back a little at a time so I get segmented growth intervals as opposed to continuous growth with no trimming in between.
Eric im a big fan i just started to grow my beard for the first time and im listening to what you say about dont shave if you have a patchy beard it my first month eleven more to go beard on bro
A well-kept patchy beard is better than a baby-face. My moustache came in first, followed by the hairs around the chin for a goatee/circle beard. It takes time. Few people are going to look like Jesus or even Gandalf in high school. At 24, I still don't have thick sideburns that connect to my scalp hair. Does it bother me? No. In the words of Eric Hermit de Frog, LET IT GROW.
TheBearded Cyclist So true. Right now I can only grow a chinstrap. And it's basically invisible at a distance due to my light brown hair. But that little amount completely changes my face. Every guy should at least maintain a 1 or 2 guard face stubble.
I’m 17 and I let my beard grow out in November (no shave november) and it was pretty thick but still patchy and it doesn’t connect to where my goatee almost connects to my mustache which I hated. But I’m also growing my hair on my head out and idk why I was dumb and cut it off without thinking hair grows like half an inch per month so why would I think it’s not growing anymore if it’s only been one month. So now i’ve been growing it out again for 2 weeks or so and i’m gonna let it grow out until probably May when I graduate. I also know that eventually it’s gonna connect because I have those little light colored hairs all over and some are really light black. My dad couldn’t even grow a mustache until he was 21, he could only grow a goatee. So I have no idea how I can already almost achieve a full beard.
Hi beardbrand I grew my beard for 3 month loved the way it looked & was quite happy but I got a ingrowing hair that I couldn't stop picking that made a hole in the beard which looked horrendous,I shaved it down 2 short stubble & it's been about 3 weeks but the hole is still there. Will the beard hole grow back over time? Love the videos keep up the good work brother 👍🏻
Ya, we were really screwing the pooch by having all these popups over the faces at the end. We've got a few videos still in the queue that don't have the new outro, but come a couple of weeks they'll all have a final screen like this. Hopefully it helps people discover other videos and engage with the community.
My left cheek is patchy and the right isn’t. The left side of my neck grows straight down but the right grows to the side towards my ear lol I’ve never grown a beard longer than a month so this will be my first time and it’ll be interesting. Hopefully I can tame that right side lol
My barber tells me I have patches where nothing will grow, but I just mostly leave it alone, and still get compliments. At this time, I don't want to trim it to accommodate the patches.
Patchy parts are on the cheeks. I let it grow, don't line it up, and if anyone notices they don't say anything. My goal is for the bulk of the bottom to cover my second shirt button. Almost there, and it is a work in progress -- probably always will be.
Let's make patchy beards the look for 2017! I'm growing mine! I'll try to update my profile pictures once I reach my goal... I would love to see the stages of growth of a big mustache like Eric's I've been trying to grow mine but it gets so annoying that I end up trimming it thinking it won't grow as much, but not sure yet. I may need to let it grow for a while to see... thanks for the video!
Hi..Eric...Hope you are doing good...I have watched almost all your videos..and hats of to your beard..It's an awesome beard...!!! I'm truly inspired with your beard...you are an awesome teacher when it comes to beard grooming and growing solutions...!! However I have a problem with my beard..that is my beard is not only patchy but it is not uniform that is i can see huge thickness in my left cheek and jaws as compared to my right cheek and jaw...And that too even after one month of beard growth and hair is connecting to my chin from my mustache on the right side but on the left side there is no such growth..my chin is completely bald...How can I overcome this..!! I also have observed the overall health of my hair some hairs are very straight and some are very curly...Which looks very shabby..!! Can i ever grow a smooth thicker beard and mustache like you...!! kindly advice...!!
I had to wait a month (or two I forget) till i saw a part of my facial hair grow in , my beard in patchy as fuck in the center where it connects, but I had to wait till i saw it grow in.
Beardbrand I know two months is short time but still I'm trying to see the good parts of my fledgling beard, you guys give me real hope and thank you guys for all the advice.
Im at a month and i have a decent beard everywhere but the mustach doesnt connect to the goatee and the top of my chins thin. But im not touchibg it for another month and givibg it a chance lol
I always thought about this method about mixing Minoxidil in Beard Oils, Like add a Few Drops in Beard oil and use i daily like a Beard Oil, Hmmm i wonder if anyone thought about it lol
I wouldn't assume that, but in general you should focusing on the skin and not the beard with those cleaners. If your beard is so short you can't avoid it, then it's no big deal as you'd trim off split ends pretty rapidly.
How short should it actually be? No guard on the trimmer? 3mm? Longer? This is the first time I'm growing out facial hair so I'm just not sure what length looks best for patchy beards. I know it needs to be short but how short?
I'm planning to buy the beardilizer set and go through the "program" . Going to keep daily logs to test its "effectiveness" . Probably going to be my first yt vids lol.
Patchy beards need at least 4 months to show what they can achieve. By then look at your beard and carefully decide which style suits you the best according to it's density. Just keep short or shave the weak parts of it and keep well groomed the strongest. Love what you have and rock it.
Bingo man. Everyone is different and when guys give up on their beard after only a couple of weeks, it makes me sad. Gotta let it grow to see what you got!
RadSponGe Exactly, you need to give the beard time. growing a beard is a test of will.
Really 4 months ??!
So long
Depends on the patchy beard. You can't put the same time frame on all beards... Patchy or otherwise
Sounds true mate my beard was not looking so good at 3-4 weeks mark until I hit the 5 -6month mark and it was looking way better and thicker at that period of time .So beard takes time to grow Promise yourself that u would not give up before 6 month mark ....and u will be amazed what you can grow...

I'm currently about 2 months into my beard growth and what I have noticed so far is that the longer the beard gets the more the patches start to fill in and get covered up.

Jay x 2K do you have a full beard now?
How about now?
How about now?

I love the positive vibes on this channel. ✌️
Nothing but good vibes here!
Thanks for watching, Phil!

i like me. (i say, as i look into the mirror and sing "you are special" by mr. rogers)

Damn im jealous of Carlos Costa. Im not patchy in any way, but his beard is just so incredibly dense.
Captain Dickmann same
Ya, I think we can all sit back and appreciate his beard. Appreciating his doesn't mean we hate our own. So admire away! :D
Eric Bandholz I'm jealous of your stache. Mine can't grow out like that. Another great vid btw. Keep spreading the Beard Gospel 👌
Naaa, I think that Jeff´s beard is better, because of the crazy mustache he has. What Carlos on the other hand has is, that he still maintains thick and full hair, while having such a dense beard. Jeff is kind of balding which Carlos isnt, but it suits Jeff.
You should see Jeff Buoncristiano. His beard is so fucking perfect.
It took me 5 months to grow my patchy beard.
Hes a genuine guy when he said he has patchy beard...I jus appreciate that part of his totally
Thank you guys for the video it's been years since this was uploaded but you're still helping people on their beard journey
My beard is patchy... especially around the sides. Personally I'm 6 months into growing around my goatee area and I've recently let the rest grow in for about 2 months now.

Hell yeah man. Grow that beard out for you and only you. Thanks for sharing.

Love the positive vibes eric, good stuff.
Happy to share and help. Thanks for watching!
he's the mr. rogers of beard videos.
Thanks, Eric! I'm only sixteen but I've been growing for a while. Still got the patchy thing going, but now I have some tips.

RealmzX3 man you're young and wise. Appreciate your comments and glad to have you stick around. your beard will get thicker over the years.
Dekez you're too young just wait till you're 20 or more I'm 23 and my beard is still growing. my beard started really growing at 23 and I bet you that at 24 I will have a full beard but trust me I had a really shitty beard before
Best Statement and Help on the entire Internet.
Honest, Kind and simply Amazing. Thx very much Eric 🙏
Appreciate the encouragement. Takes courage to grow it out when it doesn’t look great off the bat.
Eric saying he has a patchy beard reminds me of trump saying a small loan of a million dollars
Conor Gregg haha lmao 😂😂
Hah! I kinda meant to say I got patches in my beard, but you are right... I don't have a "patchy" beard.
haha i was about to say that!!!
Eric Bandholz so you are saying that i should not use minoxidil?!
Conor Gregg I aspire to have such a manly beard
Proud patchy beard owner here... Excellent video as always
Keep on growing dude!
-Parker
Sounds true mate my beard was not looking so good at 3-4 weeks mark until I hit the 5 -6month mark and it was looking way better and thicker at that period of time .So beard takes time to grow Promise yourself that u would not give up before 6 month mark ....and u will be amazed what you can grow...
Bruh dropping gems with the life lessons and positive vibes
You're the beard dude, Eric. I love the way you think. You're wise beyond your years, my good fellow. Thanks for being so openly sharing.♥
Great video as always. A barbershop series edition of emphasising strong parts / shortening weaker, patchier sections would be great!
Almost a month in, longest ive ever gone without shaving and i plan to go 6 months. 24 years old and its definetely alot fuller than i thought it would be.
How you go? 25 and never gone over a month without shaving since 18. Just been a month without lol. Lockdown will definitely help
🙌🏼 Preach! 🙌🏼 I am my own worst critic, I believe I should be president of the patchy beard club.

Hell ya. There's too much hate and negativity in the world and I just want to spread as much positivity that I can. Keep on growing!
Strength Through Joy/Kraft durch Freude, grow your beard and forget about your doubts.
Great video as usual. Love the alternate camera angle. Beardbrand takin it to the next level. "Keep on growing"
We're trying my man!
-Parker

Nailed it dude.
Eric Bandholz OH did I? :)
OR use minox =)
Daisboss Yeah, minox will fix many patches. xD
The problem with that is if you decide to stop using it, the hair you've grown might fall out.
-Parker
Man, I wish Beardbrand shipped to the U.K.!
Thanks for this video, Eric! Giving me the motivation to keep on growing!
another great video, Been growing my beard out for almost two years now and it wasn't till after a full year that my soul patch started to darken up and match the rest of my beard in color. I have had roommates who get annoyed and stop growing their's out after a few weeks and I'm always telling them it takes way longer than that to see what your beard can be.
My Yeard is under process.
Three months in, it's awesome.
You're a bloody legend Eric
Loving this new format. Keep it up fellas
Damn. I haven't watched a Beardbrand video in a while. Your beard got so short!
Shit man. We gotta get you in the habit of watching more of our videos. It's been about 1 or 2 months like this.
Eric Bandholz You're very right, Eric!
The Tony Robbins of the patchy beard! Good job and greatings from Italy
love waking up and watching these videos, gives me confidence for the day. Aso just got bought the spiced citrus balm, love it so far.
This was such a good video, guys! Loving the new camera angle too. Keep it up!
nice video as always,positive messages
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comments!
Peace be with you!
Love these motivational clips, keep ´em coming!
My pleasure man. I enjoy making them. It's one of the last ones in this studio as we just moved to a new office so the backdrop will change.
You're beard is one of the best looking in my opinion brother. Growing my beard 6 weeks in and my fiance is touching it non stop. I bought your beard balm and oil I also bought a brush and mustache comb. A little growing tip I've noticed with my beard is to wash with a facial scrub (good quality) like teige Hanley and moisturize at night with organic extra virgin coconut oil. My beard feels thicker and looks healthier.
people who have a patchy beard should check the minox beard spot on facebook !
ken s agreed. that's a great resource and community.
Well, the thing is, for example, if your cheeks are very patchy, only longer beard can cover that, and short would look ugly. Like trying to pull something that you can't.
It's nice when you have full coverage, so you can wear it short or long...but with patchy beard, only longer beard is the option if you want it full.
I love love love your beardstache!
Hello, internet its your boy Eric Bandholz back again with another Awesome Video of beardbrand... Hahah.. i actually love this intro bro.. BreadBros..
Saad Meer 🤣
dear bread brand I been thinking about biotin does it help with beard oil please let me know
Just found this channel, 31 and finally have a job where I can have facial hair. Always thought my facial hair genetics sucked. Maybe I just need to let it grow for a few months before shaving it after two weeks
ive got the patchiest beard in the world and i bloody love it
I tried to grow it wild but after it grew nearly an inch I found out I have a huge patch from my goatee to neck... my beard literally divides into two parts 😣
Dhiraj Kate same here dude... I will just let it grow in and wait for results but if it doesn’t work out I’ll try minoxidil
Do the wolverine beard
well come back Eric
Can i apply mustache wax on my beard ? is it safe or harmful?
mixing it up with those camera side angles. I'm digging it!
Glad you dig it. Figured I'd try something different while I had two cameras laying around.
It's always tough watching these videos because I see all these great beards and being 19 I can hardly grow anything my family has pretty good facial hair so I'm just waiting at this point haha
Is it a good idea in the early stages to trim down the faster growing parts with my beard clippers until the shorter parts can fill in?
Very nice lighting :) Crystal Clear Audio.
Hey guys, pretty New to the channel. I enjoyed the videos you guys post, sure helps knowing that there's other guys going through the same thing
Damn bro that motivational speech hit
The problem with mine is the goatee part of the beard doesn’t connect with my mustache and the beard itself grows more down on my neck than my face that’s why I’ve been just staying clean shaven for years now because a beard or any facial hair just isn’t for me I look better without any facial hair anyways.
Hes right..i had a spot on my cheek that had a few hairs only it looked super thin but i let it grow anyway..hairs actually started coming in around them😲 in about 6 weeks..now its nowhere near as thin ..so let it grow boys
Is minoxidil really work on facial hair
Where did your beard go? It was marvelous!
your beard stache is awsome Eric
Thanks for the tips bro, stay awesome
I have a goatee since a long time and at the moment I let it grow completly since 2/3 months but yet I really think about to return to my goatee.
So theoretically if i always trim my patchy beard down to a quarter inch the spots will eventually fill in?
Theoretically, yes. The patches do have a chance of filling in over time. It may be a much longer time than you anticipate though, keep that in mind.
- jack
sir where i can send my pics to show you how my beard is growing. so you can guide me an epic beard of yours.
really i am a great fan of yours.
I was under the assumption that if I trimmed back what I have the rest of the slower growing hairs would catch up and fill in some of those spots. Is there something to this or should I just not trim it at all. I was going to trim it back a little at a time so I get segmented growth intervals as opposed to continuous growth with no trimming in between.
This is inspirational. gonna wait 3 months
Eric im a big fan i just started to grow my beard for the first time and im listening to what you say about dont shave if you have a patchy beard it my first month eleven more to go beard on bro

TheBearded Cyclist So true. Right now I can only grow a chinstrap. And it's basically invisible at a distance due to my light brown hair. But that little amount completely changes my face. Every guy should at least maintain a 1 or 2 guard face stubble.
My side burn and some mustache grows but my upper jaw line to connect it doesn't grow it's pissing me off no hair grows there
Just give it some time man. Sometimes it can take a bit for some parts to grow in, just stick with it!
-Josh
I’m 17 and I let my beard grow out in November (no shave november) and it was pretty thick but still patchy and it doesn’t connect to where my goatee almost connects to my mustache which I hated. But I’m also growing my hair on my head out and idk why I was dumb and cut it off without thinking hair grows like half an inch per month so why would I think it’s not growing anymore if it’s only been one month.

men u r the best men i hav ever seen , thanks a lot u make me feel satisfied who i am , ☺ appreciate ur valuable talk.....
Hi beardbrand I grew my beard for 3 month loved the way it looked & was quite happy but I got a ingrowing hair that I couldn't stop picking that made a hole in the beard which looked horrendous,I shaved it down 2 short stubble & it's been about 3 weeks but the hole is still there. Will the beard hole grow back over time? Love the videos keep up the good work brother 👍🏻
whats the point of camera angle 2 ? I could not see what was going on ?
Just to give some variety for the viewers.
-Parker
The biggest mistake you can do, is not try minoxidil (not oil, get any brand) for a better beard
thanks for the video!! and nice mustache Eric you rocking the short beard
My pleasure Booster Basses. The mustache definitely stands out with this shorter beard.
Eric Bandholz I'm a big fan from Egypt is regular shampoo damage the beard or should I use just a wash
I see you took my advice for the end of the video thing! :D looks great
Ya, we were really screwing the pooch by having all these popups over the faces at the end. We've got a few videos still in the queue that don't have the new outro, but come a couple of weeks they'll all have a final screen like this. Hopefully it helps people discover other videos and engage with the community.
Nice, i think it's the way to go. Really help the brand imo
My left cheek is patchy and the right isn’t.
The left side of my neck grows straight down but the right grows to the side towards my ear lol
I’ve never grown a beard longer than a month so this will be my first time and it’ll be interesting.
Hopefully I can tame that right side lol
Same here dude. Beard brush can help get it to grow a different direction!
My barber tells me I have patches where nothing will grow, but I just mostly leave it alone, and still get compliments. At this time, I don't want to trim it to accommodate the patches.
It also looks like you have a pretty long beard, so i'm sure you can't see the patches anyways.
-Parker
Patchy parts are on the cheeks. I let it grow, don't line it up, and if anyone notices they don't say anything. My goal is for the bulk of the bottom to cover my second shirt button. Almost there, and it is a work in progress -- probably always will be.
THANKS BUDDY THIS REALLY HELPED!!😀
Let's make patchy beards the look for 2017! I'm growing mine! I'll try to update my profile pictures once I reach my goal... I would love to see the stages of growth of a big mustache like Eric's I've been trying to grow mine but it gets so annoying that I end up trimming it thinking it won't grow as much, but not sure yet. I may need to let it grow for a while to see... thanks for the video!
True true Eric thanks for the vid dude
Glad you liked the vid!

Where did all the beard length go?
Does trimming a beard helps
Hi..Eric...Hope you are doing good...I have watched almost all your videos..and hats of to your beard..It's an awesome beard...!!! I'm truly inspired with your beard...you are an awesome teacher when it comes to beard grooming and growing solutions...!!
However I have a problem with my beard..that is my beard is not only patchy but it is not uniform that is i can see huge thickness in my left cheek and jaws as compared to my right cheek and jaw...And that too even after one month of beard growth and hair is connecting to my chin from my mustache on the right side but on the left side there is no such growth..my chin is completely bald...How can I overcome this..!! I also have observed the overall health of my hair some hairs are very straight and some are very curly...Which looks very shabby..!! Can i ever grow a smooth thicker beard and mustache like you...!! kindly advice...!!
I've heard that peppermint oil actually helps, and is better than 3% minoxidil?
+EM zee did you hear that from a peer reviewed scientific journal or just from others?
I actually found that on some forums, here's the link to the article www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4289931/
I had to wait a month (or two I forget) till i saw a part of my facial hair grow in , my beard in patchy as fuck in the center where it connects, but I had to wait till i saw it grow in.
Good things come to those who wait. Glad that you were able to see that bit grow in!

Beardbrand I know two months is short time but still I'm trying to see the good parts of my fledgling beard, you guys give me real hope and thank you guys for all the advice.
Im at a month and i have a decent beard everywhere but the mustach doesnt connect to the goatee and the top of my chins thin. But im not touchibg it for another month and givibg it a chance lol
I always thought about this method about mixing Minoxidil in Beard Oils, Like add a Few Drops in Beard oil and use i daily like a Beard Oil, Hmmm i wonder if anyone thought about it lol
I think that product would have to be marketed as a 'drug' rather than cosmetics. But not a bad idea!

ESTE CANAL ES MI INSPIRACION.
i have only one question
how do you eat soup with that mustache
Hi Eric, is it safe to assume that any brand or kind of facial cleansers and face wash are also safe for beards?
I wouldn't assume that, but in general you should focusing on the skin and not the beard with those cleaners. If your beard is so short you can't avoid it, then it's no big deal as you'd trim off split ends pretty rapidly.
thank you, my beard is pretty long, id say pretty much same length as Jeff's Minimalist Beard Video
How short should it actually be? No guard on the trimmer? 3mm? Longer? This is the first time I'm growing out facial hair so I'm just not sure what length looks best for patchy beards. I know it needs to be short but how short?
That's really a personal preference. A 3mm should be fine if that's the style you'd like to rock.

I'm planning to buy the beardilizer set and go through the "program" . Going to keep daily logs to test its "effectiveness" . Probably going to be my first yt vids lol.
