    As someone who didn’t start growing a beard until I was in my 30s I can safely say that a lot of beards do look crappy in the first few weeks. You might think “at this pace there’s no way it’ll ever look fuller.” But beards are weird. You wake up one morning and sudden it’s like *poof* and it looks decent and then as time goes on it only gets better.

      @@thanosetsitty1896 yes. The first few weeks my “beard” looks patchy and pathetic. After 6 months people call me “mountain man” It’s hard to be patient in the beginning but it’s like it speeds up or something around month 2. I do a monthly photo of myself for Facebook to document my hair growth (I shaved my head and have been growing it out for almost 2 years) and I can also see my beard growth in the pictures and it’s amazing the difference from one month to the next. Way more noticeable than my head hair growth.

    Mike, you don’t need luck just the time. Been watching Mike for years, excited to see his progress. Took me till I turned 40 to give it enough time for my beard, now I’ll never go back. You’ve got more initial coverage than me, given time… you’ll have way more than me. Keep on growing.

I been using minoxidil for about 14 months now and about 80% of my patches are gone and my one month beards alrdy looks better by far thn the one I had in the past

    I'm 21 and only made it growing my beard for 55 days before shaving it off because I was pressured by my family and also it was growing too low on the chin. I do have an okay mustache so I kept that and went for the beardstache. I went 3mm on the beard and shaped up the soulpatch and also left the mustache natural at 8 weeks.

    I was once advised to wait for two years, as each hair follicle has a life-cycle. I’ve found as the hair grows, is trimmed, falls out and regrows, it’s much fuller later on than it ever was on the first grow.

    I'm 40, i haven't been clean shaven for years and years, but I've never grew my beard more than a month, my facial hair is very similar to this dudes, thick on the tash and neck line, but quite thin on the cheeks. In July I decided to grow a Yeard (grow it for a year) it's now November, I trim my mouth and my Shape my neck lines. I've watched tons of videos on beard growth, I never actually thought it would come in, but it is, you just have to give yourself at least 4 months. Winter is the best time to grow it, hopefully come spring, I'll have some decent coverage. Keep it up guys and don't touch it, even when you really want to!

    @TheSean7564 2 роки тому +1

    Mike, three yrs ago I came across a vid where Greg was promoting 90 days. Only once before, in my early 30s when, due to chicken pox, I couldn't shave for two weeks (after never having missed a weekday), had I ever seen what my "beard" might potentially be. It looked silly.
    First, you have more growth on your face in this vid than I could ever grow in a week ... so let's start there. Your hair is also darker. Now, back to me. Three years after watching Greg's video ... I now have a kickass beard. Like Greg, my beard growth is not even and fast (like a Carlos) but after 90 days of NO trimming I had a real f'n beard. I visited a barber who does beards and asked her to "do my beard" and have never looked back. One of my daughters regularly tells me I look 10 yrs older to which I regularly respond "Ten years older, maybe. But definitely 20 years cooler". Grow that Beast for 90 days! Don't be a wuss ... Brother!

    @lfish21. 2 роки тому +3

    His facial hair pattern is very similar to mine. I have had a beard now for 5-6 + years. It’s done fairly well and I can’t imagine not having one these days. I have started to really try and take care of it and moisturize, oil, etc as I want to try and get a bit more length.
    You can do it, just gotta get through the few months of awkward growth.

  • @BeardnScars
    @BeardnScars 2 роки тому +1

    I have faith. I have a very similar pattern to him and I’m at my 60 days and I shaped it up last week and yeah, I have a decent low beard that I trimmed to look like Leonidas.
    This guy should give it a shot.

  • @dwaynet2184
    @dwaynet2184 2 роки тому +1

    Hey Mike I'm 58 and never thought I could grow a beard , but I hung in there 90 days and mine was scraggly and uneven , but I found a barber that did beards , and just went in there and I told him I am keeping the beard, just do what you think would look good . Well I let him do his thing and he made it even and trimmed it down so it wasn't scraggly, then did my hair . Thanked him and paid him and went home .
    My wife went nuts as soon as I came home and told me to keep going to this guy , that I looked better than I do without the beard. So that won her over, because up till then she didn't like it.
    Don't let people bother you about it either, I heard I had shit on my chin , grease on my face, just ignore them .
    Tell them it takes a man to even try to grow a beard!
    IT WAS WELL WORTH IT NOW!

    I wore a 5’O’clock shadow for Years until I decided from my former Master Barber who She encouraged me to grow my Beard which I’m now 3 Beards total 5 Years later and I will tell You it’s One of my decisions that I ever made…Mike You will be amazed by this beautiful transformation!!!

    You've got to calm down and think about the great progress you've already made. Don't put your beard journey on a certain time line... as long as you see improvement, you just note that and move on. Don't dwell negatively on any area you wish would be stronger now because next week or next month it will be stronger.

    I had a very nice beard as of last week....And then I decided to trim under my nose and ACCIDENTIALLY set my trimmer to the lowest setting rather than the highest setting and carved it short, right down to the skin. Oh the shock! So I trimmed off the whole beard to a #2 and my mustache is prob a #1, and I'm now having to start all over again. My coverage was similar to Gregs and Ive had a beard for 25 years.

    Mike, I recommend going to13 weeks without touching anything but the cheekline and neckline. I have similar coverage to you, however mine grows really really slowly and is more blonde. You have the potential for an epic beard. I know with the help of Greg and Beardbrand Alliance you will be bearded before you know it and be wondering how you ever doubted your beard's potential. Happy growing.

  • @ag-ik2mw
    @ag-ik2mw 2 роки тому +1

    Mine is extremely patchy and it took me fighting through 4 months, to see it fill in. By 6 months, it was full beard, so you have to fight through not so good looking beard, but keep going, it will get full. Also there are little tiny hairs, that start thickening during later months.

  • @MrReece131
    @MrReece131 2 роки тому +4

    @DBSites Рік тому +2

    I just hit my 7 week mark for my first beard and I honestly am not hating how it looks. However, there are a couple things I’m definitely not crazy about, which are the middle of my upper lip, or philtrum, and the soul patch area. Both spots have many vellus hairs that have yet to turn terminal, so I’m just waiting on that and for my mustache to get as full as the rest of my beard. More and more pores are growing hair on my stache every day

  •  2 роки тому +8

    Mike is very realistic and he looks good without the beard. He could just rock stubble and it's good enough for him. A thin beard looks like shit, no matter how you look at it. Just embrace what you have or don't have.

I have done 2 months of growing my facial hair before and I've hated the results. I don't like low cheek lines on me at all. I'm not meant for a beard. Facial implant surgery could fix my cheeks, but can't afford it, so I'm just gonna accept the problem and stay clean shaven.

I never grew it out more than a month or two before because I didn't think it looked good. Give it time.

    As a senior in high school I never had to shave. No hair, after my service in the military I tried to grow a beard at 23. More of a chin strap and was hideous. I let that thing grow for 6 months and it was disgusting. Chin was dense, and spot on each cheek. Here I am at 30 now and just noticed after a few days not shaving that I have much more hair than I did those years ago. So here I am once again. Letting it grow to see what happens.

    I always had a goatee through my 20s and my early '30s because I couldn't grow a full beard.
    Honestly, I thought it wasn't going to be able to have one and actually never thought too much about it. As I got into my later 30's and early 40's, my Beard literally just sprung out of nowhere and now it's completely full and thick

    Ok, you convince me to try and grow out my beard for 90 days. Let's see how it goes.

    I live in illinois and work at downtown Chicago resturant and put the food we serve on strings and hide the hidden food under my clothes so as to walk around and sweat on it (season it) all day before taking it out and heating and serving it. Sometimes I have about 60 different articles of food underneath my clothing at any given time. No one knows I do this and luckily you don't know what resturant I work at hehe

    I’ve got the same beard pattern as him . The most I’ve gone without shaving is 2 weeks. I’m curious what his beard is going to look like

      Dude, I swear just let it grow. 2 months is too short, in my opinion. When Covid hit, I started working from home and I said, “screw it, I don’t have to go into the office anyway.” 3 months I started seeing some potential, then around 5 months I had a pretty fully beard. People started asking “what did you do?” I didn’t do anything different, except I just let it grow longer lol.
      Pro tip: if you’re feeling like you don’t like how you look, or you feel “sloppy” go get a haircut. I think that’s a problem that most men have too, they end up letting all their hair grow and they look unkempt. Just get a haircut, and tell the barber to blend the sideburns but leave the rest because you’re growing it out.

      @@MattSeesGray I’m 3 weeks in now and it looks better than I expected. I actually thought of the same thing you said. I cut my hair and it makes the beard look less sloppy
