How to discover your beard shape and style is an important part of your beard's life. I refer to the 4-6 month growth period as "Beard Paralysis" which is when you become unsure of the direction you want to head with your beard. In this "how to" video I go over various aspects of finding out your beard shape and developing a beard style.
Remember, always allow yourself considerable time in order to determine whether or not you want to shape your beard. Trimming your beard shouldn't be taken lightly and having a plan in place is always a great idea.
A good place to start is to find some beard inspiration. A key to this is to not be overwhelmed by all the beautiful beards in the land. You're beard is special, unique, and should be treated as such.
When deciding upon what shape or style your beard should take your face shape should be taken into consideration. Certain beards and mustaches do better with certain face shapes. This is the same principle that applies to men's hair styles and hair cuts.

The side shot of your beard in this video is absolutely perfect. The contour of the mustache and beard is exactly how I'd like to grow mine, and it suits you excellently. I'm only 18 right now, I've got some scruff, but your shape (and Ricki Hall's) is always the vision I've had for my beard. Thanks for the encouragement and advice! I can't wait for my beard in a few years.
You are a lifesaver! I have never been able to get past 4-6 months because of that beard paralysis stage. You have answered so many of my questions and solved many of my problems from your other videos. I will be going by your advice exclusively from now on and will be purchasing from your website in the near future when my beard is of appropriate length. I just want to thank you so much! You really seem like you know what you're talking about
Thank you so much for addressing those horrible "in-between" months. I have almost shaved it all off twice a week every week this whole month. Im about 4.5 months and not an overly strong grower. Your vids are keeping me positive and in line. Thanks again Beard Baron

"I shaved it off, it was a very sad day" lmfaooo hahaha I feel you man...
You are the Godfather of beards lol, love your stuff, keep up the good work.
Great stuff. I discovered your channel a month ago when I was in the 2-3 week itch phase. Watching your videos has kept me from shaving, and now I'm almost 2 months into this journey for the first time in my life. You've got yourself another diehard fan, and future customer. I look forward to enjoying more videos, and testing out your beard care products!
I love the relationship you have with your beard and viewers. Nobody does it any better.
I am 3 months into my first beard and I love it! Your advice/tips are the best around and look forward for more videos. Cheers.

I have been with my beard for 6 months, and I was tempted to cut it out, but I watch your video and then I realized I just need it to take of it, style it, and shape it. Now, I love it. Thank you man !
Just found you from a random product search and I really needed this vid to help me get to the next step. I've been trimming too much because I wasn't sure how to keep it going. Thanks so much!
That's such an epic beard I'm about 3 weeks into my beard I hope I can get it as epic as yours

Do the men in your family have beards? A lot of the times it's genetics but sometimes, SOMETIMES it's a lack of two things: Testosterone and proper skin care.
@alastairkerr2426

mustafa ahmed It's a mixture of factors really: testosterone does play a factor. Think of the woman who have sex changes, they have testosterone injections and as a result grow facial hair. The opposite is true if you inject men with oestrogen (female hormone) they lose facial hair, and grow thicker head hair (even if bold). You do however also grow perky boobs, and become an emotional mess. Depends on your priorities I guess!

Yea, my understanding is it’s more about how your body reacts to the testosterone. You could have high levels of testosterone but if you don’t have the generics you won’t grow a beard. Weirdly enough, those with high amounts of facial hair are far more likely to go bold, as beard growth and boldness are both linked to the same reaction to testosterone. So just be happy you’ll most likely have a good head of hair for most of your life. This coming from a 26 year old bearded, shaved headed (balding) guy.
I have to say that your videos have helped to boost my confidence like nothing else. Every time I get a bout of "beard panic" I watch one of your videos and you never fail to reign me back in. Keep the great videos and awesome info coming! PS. you have one of the most epic beards I've seen. Straight awesome.
This vid reminded me of the many times I've cut my beard because I thought I had to start over to add/subtract something. Now I know better.
I agree with the personality thing, dude. Make it your own! Its great to see different types/styles. Everyone asks me when am I done??... truth is you're never done with a beard haha. Great video man! From the Wales in the UK.

I really love your modern old fashion style. I wish men would sport the derby type hats that you wear. I am not brave like you to be out side of the box. I grew a 5 month beard last winter. I loved the experience. However, my wife threaten to leave me if I did shave it off. One day I shaved it off and REALLY had bad regret. I have started again for no shave November. let's see how far I can get this time. I may let her walk. ;) My one year update. I have let my beard grow out. I have about 6 months of growth and have loved the growing experience. Funny, I have taken the advice of the Beard Baron and its looks like his beard more and more everyday. My wife and I are divorcing. Its been a hard year, however, I keeping the my chin up.

An old girlfriend, now best friend, has told me several times to not visit her if I grow a long beard. She's not seen me for maybe eight weeks and already it's probably more than she'll like. Mine grows thick and bushy with the biggest challenge keeping the hairs that stick out from getting too ragged looking. I trimmed it once and regretted it, and have adopted the sideburns trim.
My genetics served me extremely well considering I started growing a full thick beard with no patches at the age of 15, no idea how but I can say that even the teachers were envious of me, since then, over the years I have experimented with it, tried different shapes and different lengths but I never really let it grow that much being the impatient person I am, but you my good sir have sparked a flame of inspiration for me to grow out a long beautiful beard, and for that i thankyou
This is my 5th month with my beard, and I started to get frustrated by the grown curly hair on the sides but your video have explained this phase very well. Keep up the good work.Thank you man!
Thanks man, for your words and of course your videos :D I think i'm going to try this bread again :)

Loving the advice made me feel so much better about my beard Cos I do get jealous of other guys beards and I’ve learnt that patience is the key to everything with beards thankyou for your channel bruva
I had dyed my beard pink in October for breast cancer support and pretty much shaved it down to nothing after that. Now I have decided to finally grow a full beard for the first time. I always only had the small groomed short "shadow" beard. Watching your videos has been really informative. Cheers!

Sons of Axe Compound weightlifting (Deadlifts, press, Squats etc.) increases testosterone which increases hair growth. It also makes you strong and healthy. You will get extra points for squatting heavy with a glorious beard/moustache.

Great video and logic with shaping and trimming. Best advice is the "When you're not sure if you're done, you've answered that question". When in doubt, grow it out!
You have given me confidence to just let it grow. And now I can rock it for all it's worth and I love it. Just want to see where it can go in the future
I'm attempting the beard 'solo' and in the midst of beard paralysis - an opportune time to come across your YT channel (the wife also thanks you). Thanks for your time and effort: very inspiring!
So glad I watched this! I just hit "beard paralysis" for the second time and was about to give in. After seeing a few of your videos I feel much more confident. Definitely subscribed.
You have inspired me my man. I'm 16 can grow facial hair but not that much since I haven't grown it out but you've inspired me to grow it out. Thanks my man
Thank you for the encouraging words! I know there are some patches on my face, but this and your other video "How to Deal with a Patchy Beard" gave me the courage to try to grow it out! Thanks!
I am thoroughly enjoying a variety of your videos. keep it up.
I was finally able to commit to growing a beard. I'm 3 months in now and I love the results. Thanks for the tips.

Awesome Vids, I've been working on my own stiletto style myself, about 7 months in, lots of work to shape it right and to get the custom stuff in the beard that fits my face.
I like your philosophy with face proportions and hair growth rates. I totally agree.
