    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.

    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.

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.

    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!

    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!

    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

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!

    he's got great neck coverage which is going to add a very nice dense support to the beard, this will make up for any more challenged areas. I'd say let the neck go and get it as dense as possible before a trim, just my opinion.

    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.

    My cheeks can’t grow hair and it’s been depressing for me to handle during this golden age of beards. I’m 40 btw..

    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 🧔👍 Don't give up on the Beard... just might surprise yourself?
