[@EricBandholz]

Great reminder Greg. So many others out there are trying to make guys feel more insecure with their growth patterns rather than helping them learn to find the best beard style that works for them. Keep on growing!

[@Wolfsong27FlyHalfFullHeart]

Exactly! That’s why I subscribed to you gents, you constantly help your bearded brothers out when they desperately need that Pat on the back and advice to achieve that confidence in their facial hair, much love to you gents.

[@brycehardy8774]

Couldn't be more true Eric. I find it funny how some men try to put other men down commenting about their facial hair. We all need to bring each other up!

[@thomasleongeorgerobertglad7560]

Exactly bud, I got shoulder length hair (growing it out for 2 years, am 1 year and 1 month in am 1 month overdue for a trim, finally restarted growing my beard now growing a chevron/goatee to start off with am planning on when I have finished the 2 year growth on my head hair having transitioned from multiple beard styles over time while continuously growing it out having it look like a yeard or viking beard) - (I've been told im either going to be asked to perform resurrections or walk on water or look like a viking)

[@patriarchmike]

Every growth pattern has a purpose. That includes bald and thin pots

[@pineapplesurprise1461]

hahahahahaha

[@timvanderford2109]

I retired after 30 years in the USAF. I only had a beard on the weekends. When I retired I decided, I was done with shaving. I learned there is more to growing a beard than just not shaving. Thank you Greg and Beardbrand. I’ve learned tons.

[@BeardbrandAlliance]

We're happy to be here for ya! -Weaver

[@tgreene4357]

Prefect timing! Six weeks in and I felt like giving up today and shaving. These videos keep me going. Thanks, Greg!

[@BeardbrandAlliance]

So glad this helped! Keep on growing -Weaver

[@Bully____Maguire]

A beard is like stocks, you don’t sell and you don’t shave😂

[@zberlord]

Update?

[@tgreene4357]

@Valen, at four months, and looking much better. This is the first time I’ve ever grown it longer than six weeks. I should have tried this years ago. But no Beardbrand Alliance or KZbin videos back then to keep me growing.

[@C0WABUNGAITIS]

@@tgreene4357 Did it got fuller?

[@gamevids4181]

The lesson being: be happy with what you have. My beard has thin patches but the overall look is far better to me (and to those who comment) than when I didn't have it. So I am more than happy with what I have.

[@BeardbrandAlliance]

That's it right there. Rock what you've got -Weaver

[@rananasser3387]

This guy should be an asmrtist. Soothing and calm voice.

[@themaddrummerofficial]

What an upbeat message. This is great.

[@jkolenda]

Thanks for this video and the encouragement Greg! I have have some thin spots and disconnect in my beard and in the past I have just shaved it down after about 30 days because I was insecure about my weak areas. After seeing one of Eric's videos about beard stache I started rocking that look and loved it. After several months of that look I let the rest of my facial hard start to grown in and going longer than my normal 30 days and also let my neck line grown down further and I am starting to love my bearded look, flaws in all. Rock what you got and wear it with confidence!

[@CodeBriarbrook]

I tell my best friend all the time! Grow it out!!! But he says the same thing you mentioned Greg. He’s self conscious because he can only grow up to about his chin line but I’ve always said, YOUR beard is yours! Its what makes YOU unique and no one else looks like you. So make it your own! Own it!!!

[@matejmacejak9675]

I think that bare spots under the lower lips its pretty common beard pattern and most men have it at some degree.it is not a beard flaw or something, and it might looks better that 100 percent full coverage. But nice video- content as always!

[@elmarlion]

I totally agree with you. It looks better than a full beard.

[@jasonkurth7473]

Yes, I don't see it as s a flaw. It seems like a normal beard to me

[@richarddoe5674]

Not liking how your beard looks like is a really hard thing to do but I've been 10 months at it, and it's really helped me with my self-image.

[@graysenm1320]

Love the video Greg. I am someone who has very similar coverage to Shia on my mustache/chin area however my hair is light blonde and ginger. So for me I always feel like my front doesn’t look very good or full but it’s really mostly my beard color genetics. This video gave me confidence and I thank you for that 🤙🤙

[@lorenzoleyba5295]

I love how you always encourage people to like themselves and what they have

[@asilaydyingguitarist]

22 here, would say i have an above average beard especially compared to my family/ethnicity. But I have some baldness in the soul patch area. I can see vellus hairs coming in, so it will eventually fill in, but that doesn't stop me from rocking my beard. Great message. Keep up the good work.

[@dalesoblo3010]

Love the beard you have. Your perfect the way you are. Those are the mantras I always repeat to myself. I’ve rocked facial hair for a very long time. Letting the beard grow longer has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my bearded journey. Many of the “little problem” areas just disappeared because of age and my own self perception. Thank you

[@BeardbrandAlliance]

^this 💯 -Weaver

[@akhillyz4223]

6 weeks in and am surprised by how much coverage I have. Thanks alot to these videos for making me push through the awkwardness

[@stevehenkel354]

It IS encouraging. Thanks Greg. This kind of positivity is what got me hooked on Beardbrand last month. My beard is roughly similar to yours, Greg, with subtle areas that could be called "challenges", but every day it gets longer and every day I'm loving it more than the day before.

[@BeardbrandAlliance]

Hell yeah, that's awesome! -Weaver

[@brycehardy8774]

Appreciate this video Greg! It's motivating to hear encouragement from other men, no matter the imperfections we perceive in ourselves.

[@rsshieldsii]

I'm often perceived as having a super dense and full beard, but I have a few gaps (especially where my mustache meets my beard). I'm constantly telling guys with thinner beards to just let it grow. Great video, Greg! We need more fellas rocking their beard and showing that ALL beards are welcome!

[@BeardbrandAlliance]

Absolutely -Weaver

[@caligula1410]

I think it comes down to finding the right style for your face shape and for the general texture and density of your beard. Most people tends to forget that a beard is seen as a whole and usually from the front by other chaps. Personally, having a strong moustache and front and not so dense cheeks and sideburns, I went for a Nicholas II / George V style. By doing so, the weaker aspects of my beard appear as intentional (let's call that a "faux fade" : )

[@Sven989]

I used to be really insecure with my facial hair and how patchy some parts start out. I look to everyone and their styles for inspiration, respect to all beards and mustaches.

[@gretchenkeene6433]

Hi, Greg. I'm a woman who just loves your videos! (Thankfully no beard on me!) You look great no matter what, but especially with longer hair!

[@darklordthomaspie6293]

If you did grow a beard, I would hope you embraced it. Beards are amazing, regardless of who wears them ( man, woman, something else entirely)

[@darklordthomaspie6293]

@@Bada_Boom78 there are bearded women, you know. Look it up.

[@OmegaSoypreme]

The guys on Vikings are exactly who I look at for reassure when I'm trying to grow out my beard, specifically because they're a bit spotty. They're patching, uneven and scraggly. But they work. It's just a certain look you can rock.

[@jamess6690]

Man I went 4 weeks 3 times in a row, didn't like the thin patches on the sides and shaved. Greg is super awesome and I'm at my 3rd week again. Going to stick it out for as long as I can to break through the barrier. Curios to see myself after a few months.

[@Kevin_10225]

I dont know about you, but Greg has such a relaxing voice. Someone that you would like to have a good conversation with.

[@BeardbrandAlliance]

Facts -Weaver

[@HakunaMatata-gd7nc]

Vikings is the show that made want to grow a first time beard seeing their beards mature through the seasons. I was also inspired to grow my hair long largely from Vikings.

[@Roma-rusk]

Alot of people have the same sentiment. I had my beard and hair already like ragnars and when i saw it i was like hell yeah! Gonna inspire some people

[@Finnish_guy]

I think some of the beard when characters get much older in the series are fake hair.

[@KamenZn6]

@@Finnish_guy yep they glued hair on their beards theres a vid where they pull it and it sticks to their fingers

[@SalvatoreVulcano69]

Same😂😂 and i'm only 18 and my beard almost looks like Ragnar's 😂😂

[@thecasualrider2668]

Love this channel how you just encourages everyone to grow a beard no matter if it's short or long patchy or full. You give me a lot of confidence whenever I come up to one of your videos. Been growing the beard for 2 months now going for that long look now 😁 been rocking the short to medium beard from last 7 to 8 years but it's time to go full Viking 😁😁🤟🤟

[@TheHairyDurdles]

This is great Greg, especially for first time growers such as myself. 3 days away from my #Yeard BTW! It’s not perfect but I’m claiming it as a #keeper. Thx again 👊🏼

[@BeardbrandAlliance]

Congrats! Way to go!! -Weaver

[@Wolfsong27FlyHalfFullHeart]

Congratulations on the yeard 😁 I started in November for international men’s day and not touched it, so far my chin is growing as is my moustache but my cheeks are definitely slow but I’d love to see how far I can take my beard.

[@TheHairyDurdles]

@@Wolfsong27FlyHalfFullHeart Awesome!! I’m going to keep growing. I want to let my mustache & soul patch go terminal. Terminal stache because I want a low, loose curl/swoop, natural looking handle bar to sit on top the beard & soul patch to provide maximum coverage between where it stops and a sparse area above my chin. Also my cheeks have coverage but more length will give them the density I desire. Overall I wanna see if I can achieve a big majestic beard. #BeardOn 👊🏼

[@ryana1675]

I am 23 and have had a beard for about two years. I would never let it grow longer than a month or so without trimming it down to a stubble, due to bald areas under my lip and small unevenness on my cheeks. Since watching your videos about a month ago I shaved everything off and started over and just seeing where it goes. Thank you Greg.

[@addison6144]

How’d it go

[@craigwolstenholme2166]

Thank you greg !! This has given me a big confidence boost after seeing these guys like Jason mamoa who I thought had a really great beard but to know that gives me the slack I’ve been over stressing about little bits and patchy n flyaways but I’m just gonna rock it !!

[@StormtheWolf]

My beard confidence after this video 📈. First time beard grower here at about 7 weeks. Planning to grow for 6 months than see what happens!

Happened to me, i never grew my beard before because i tought that it was going to be awful...BUT, i gave it enough time and i have been as a bearded guy for more than a year...very happy with it!!, love my beard.

Great video thanks Greg for the inspiration! 🎩. This video gave me the confidence to try and it's getting better every week. (Cheers) 🍻

[@kahn04]

Great video as always. I’m definitely one of those people who has tried multiple times to grow a beard but gets fed up with my “problem areas” (moustache refuses to connect) and ends up shaving it off. Fun fact a fair number of the Vikings cast had extensions attached to their beards (why they chose to keep the scraggly look is beyond me)

[@brandtbays1027]

That’s was a great video Greg !!!

Thanks, great advice , I have oval close to round. Now that I’m older I’m having a hard time finding shape I usually wear van dyke. Full beard makes my face look rounder. Unless I keep it short. Subscribed.

[@Wolfsong27FlyHalfFullHeart]

Keanu reeves would look fantastic with a vandyke, who else here is rocking a vandyke? Please tell me I’m not alone😂

[@washburn9999]

[@fjodorklein3021]

I have a very sparse van dyke, that's how my facial hair grows naturally

[@darklordthomaspie6293]

Ah, the Van Dyke, a true classic. Nice pointy goatee paired with a handlebar mustache.

[@Wolfsong27FlyHalfFullHeart]

@@washburn9999 Awesome, I was inspired to go with the vandyke because of the film tintin in 2011 the villain in that rocks a really banging vandyke and I hope to get to his level of sleekness.

[@Wolfsong27FlyHalfFullHeart]

@@fjodorklein3021 It’s a nice choice if the cheeks grow rather slowly.

[@PapiSensei331]

Seeing these thin, patchy beards on celebrities makes me love my full thick beard even more.

[@alexanderc7213]

My weak areas tend to be under my bottom lip, on both sides. Granted, it's a small area but I know it's there. And also that area where mustache ends and cheek line begins. I found a workaround to that by combing the stache back towards my cheeks to give the perception of more density. And like you Greg, from the side, my cheeks aren't that dense. And last but not least, I have an 'ok' mustache, but nowhere near yours, Eric's, Carlos's, or Jeff's. My best coverage tends to be the chin area.

[@saxman7131]

Another great video Greg. My beard gives me the confidence I never thought possible.

[@mkejon71]

Always great guidance. Thank you.

[@lennartdejong5834]

Much appreciated, Greg!

[@allaround3607]

I'm following your 90 day beard regime I have a patch on my chin just in the middle so I am growing beard to cover the area

[@Supermanofearthx]

my weak areas are my moustache and just under the lip can grow a decent soul patch but everything else along the lip is bare. otherthan that just wish my upper cheek lines came in fuller.

[@thrifteddrip7442]

My beard is exactly like half of these dudes. And I’ve been rocking this type of beard for about 4 years now. And never realized how many other people had the same type.

[@maxhorner2409]

I used to have the mustache disconnect but as I grew older it connected. I also have the thin spots under my mouth. But just grow it. In winter I go full mountain man and in summer shave sides off but leave every inch of the goatee. So mine looks weak on sides when tamed down but long and strong in front.

[@AtlantaSamurai]

Great message. Great video.

[@kieranhurst2481]

Another great video.. would love to see a vid on styles of beard for round / fat faces, with double chin, etc..

[@nomo4u886]

I rock a patchy beards & it’s fine

[@jackkelly3697]

Great video. Look at Jack Passion 2 time world beard champion, his moustache isn't strong by any means and yet he still holds 2 world titles and countless others.

[@Dinogharr]

My beard is thick under my chin, around my cheeks and jaw, but my moustache is quite thin and is taking a lot longer for it to come in thick, so I’m still waiting, 2 months down, 10 more to go for my beard growth journey

[@patriarchmike]

I have a beard that is patterned like the one Keanu Reeves has except mine is less patchy and bald. I have high and sharp cheek line and a strong neck line with medium thickness and medium density hair, but I have disconnect between my mustach and my goatee and also between my sideburns and my mustache and goatee. Its like it grows in all white trashy like Joe Dirt. Forever I would just rock a three piece where I shave the corners and the areas that were weak and disconnected. I first found out that when I grow out the mustache it eventually covers over the area of disconnect between the chin and mouth. And now when I grow my sideburns about 2 inches it covers over the bald areas when I comb it forward. My neck hairs frow upward and the opposite direction to the face hairs. This us apparently called the double beard. The neck hairs are brushed upward from the neck to the chin to create a base that pushes all the downward growing facial hairs outward to create that box look. I always thought that I could never grow a beard, but now I see how those thin areas make the beard look better because the area of disconnect between the chin hairs and the jaw hairs provide a valley or a niche for a long thick mustache like mine to lay into nicely. Its all by design. So no matter what kind of beard you have, you will find out in the end that some hairs grow faster on one side than the other, and in different directions, or not all all, for a reason. Let our creator do the work. Its a test of patience to get through the awkward phase which makes the effort that much more appealing. Less people grow beards than do, so having a long beard tells people 1) that you don't care what they think 2) that you do what you want and 3) that you stay committed to things. That says a lot about you before anyone even gets a chance to talk to you. It commands attention and respect. Its your beard and you can rock it no matter who hates on it. Most beard haters are people who can't grow one out themselves either because they don't have a beard or because they are afraid of judgement. So forget them.

[@quintinadkins7575]

Awesome video! I’ve really enjoyed watching your content these past few weeks, it’s been a huge influence for me to decide to try growing out facial hair for the first time at 20! 2 questions for you: 1) I have relatively dry skin, I always have to put on facial moisturizer after I get out of the shower. Should I avoid using it in the areas that I’m growing facial hair though? Should I replace the moisturizer for beard oil after a shower? 2) I love the way your hair is styled in this video, it’s pretty similar to the style I rocked for years, but my barbershop got shut down during the pandemic and I haven’t been able to find a barber that can get me the cut that I’m looking for. Any advice on what sorts of measurements or guidelines that I can give them to get a similar result? I appreciate it, have a good one!

[@quintinadkins7575]

Oh also, any advice on styling your hair? What sorts of products or tools do you use? Thanks!

[@anthonyarcanumsanctumregnu9551]

Beards are suppose to have those two patches of no hair under our bottom lip, many people like myself actually shave that under the lip area to be totally bald because if I want I can grow it in fully from the chin to the bottom lip but I think it looks silly without the patches

The problem with my beard is that the hairs are too straight, so it takes more time to look dense and less patchy.

[@hughjazz4936]

I got the opposite, my beard is quite curly and it takes a lot of time to get to a certain length or at least look like its more than a few weeks old.

[@alexpond648]

They're celebrities, some of them are exceptional handsome, so a disheveled look can be beneficial, giving them a softer or a more care free, aproachable (the - look, I'm not perfect and I don't care) look. Or it's for a caracter they're playing in an upcoming movie...

tbh I like it more when the mustache doesn't connect to the beard and if there are these two bald spots under the lower lip. Full coverage to me looks too savage.

[@Sdfghjk442]

Biggest cope ever. Greg looks like a "savage" lmao. If you have a full beard with coverage, you can disconnect the mustache as a style like Mariano do Vaio or connect it if you want.

[@joffreybluthe7906]

Greg looks more and more like a corporate CEO lol I miss the Zeus style!! Still love the content and positivity though :) (and the beard of course)

[@unclefester9265]

Damn, when will people realize that the part under the lips is not a patchy part, just a different growth pattern determined by genes. I mean, think about it, some guys have amazing coverage all over, but a specific bald pattern below lip? If it was a patch, it would not have a specific shape where the hair doesn't grow, I mean, symmetrical one.

[@Drivenwithambition]

I see your point and I agreed, most men beard grows like that . So it’s a genetic pattern for sure

I think I’d be in the lower middle of the spectrum. Would be cool to look at men’s stubble and then beards. Just so we clean shaven men can guesstimate

[@megawukhan]

Ive noticed coverage under the lip isnt really liked by most. So dont feel odd if you dont have much hair under the lip. The ladies prefer no hair right there.

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

🤔 Greg, the "area of weakness" under the lower lip, is an intentional style for the majority of men who have it. They keep it shaved. I used to do it myself before I got tired of maintaining it and just let it all grow in 😂

[@LinkTheHeroOfTime]

Truth. I used to shave it for my ghotee, but have decided to just quit shaving

[@BiggyJimbo]

I'm sorry, but a huge portion of men don't naturally grow hair under the lip, including myself. It's very common. Having a full beard that covers the whole face including the weaker areas is actually not so common

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

@@BiggyJimbo a huge portion? I've seen a few younger guys with sparse growth-- thin mustaches and patchy chins and cheeks, I dunno that I'd call it a huge portion, but I don't pay super close attention to mens faces, any more than casual observation....but men who can grow adequate beards usually have full or mostly full growth under our lower lip 🤷‍♂️ and the fellas I've seen without, obviously shave and shape that area. It's definitely a style more often than lack of growth.

[@BiggyJimbo]

@@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power Well, I'm not gonna say your experience is wrong, you've seen what you've seen I guess. I would definitely bet my money that there are more men with overall patchy, sparse beards than the dense bearded guys you're talking about. I don't really see why people would want to shape that area - if I could grow a full beard up to the lip like you I definitely would haha.. personal preference I suppose Maybe there's more testosterone in the water supply where you're from haha All the best

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

@@BiggyJimbo 😂 that could be, with the water. Personally ( as I've begun doing it again, but I always leave a triangle under my lip ), it shows more of my face, gives my beard a more intriguing shape, and makes me look less menacing than I do with the beard up to the lower lip 🤣🤷‍♂️ Each his own, and the ladies seem to like it. Cheers and God Bless, brother.
