Bahahaha... now I can't un-hear it!

[@darrylthompson7509]

I hear it too😂

[@trimcoversit3971]

I was thinking Kermit.

[@MANdoesminecraft]

3:27 The moment Eric realises that his gestures have another meaning compared to what he is talking about and realises the sinful error of his ways.

[@mclovinu69]

Don't forget 4:56 gotta work the shaft

[@thatchannel195]

Hi

[@awickedtribe]

LOL and then it just got weird the rest of the way

[@beardhut2934]

I don't touch my beard 720 times a day. I never let go!

[@douglaspinsak1246]

Shampoo and condition are fine...they do the same thing to your beard hair that they do to your head hair...not to mention that shampoo is plenty mild for the skin under your beard. The only reason not using shampoo and condition is #2 on this list is because they want to sell you a costly alternative.

[@faizandar1514]

If i shave my beard, i wont have a beard??? MINDBLOOOWN

He gonna regret 3:26

Man, you gotta watch more of my videos. Like this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqXIiIWigd2msLMm15s

[@WTF19590627]

There are a lot of memes on this video.

[@JonathanGrandt]

Nah that was deliberate

[@mattpatman1120]

instant regret. You can see it in his face

[@kameelelian6044]

Stay out of the mirror and quit comparing your beard to the beard you think you want!!!

[@Aldo7899]

Kameel Elian if you look in the mirror, your beard will get fucked. You need to break all the mirrors in your house while it’s growing out 😂

[@gilmorales4238]

don't quit Jay. remember there will be moments when it will itch and you will be tempted to shave. I guarantee you it will stop itching after a few days and then you will enjoy the benefits of a majestic beard. specially with ladies... just keep it well groomed

[@aujlas7250]

The best advise so far

[@GeoffreySplaneChannel]

Quality advice

[@Brandles5]

Wives are the number one beard killer! Luckily my wife likes mine.

[@misters9744]

only for beta males

[@LordSplittawig]

I'd keep the beard and lose the wife. It's not about the beard, per se; it's about the freedom of self-expression.

[@JirmaVerse]

I have a bad habit of biting my mustache hairs when they get in my mouth, I really need to stop that or I’ll never have an awesome mustache like @ericbandholz

[@hebneh]

I remember years ago reading things like "the old men stroked their beards" and wondered why anyone would write that. I eventually discovered that when you have a grown-out beard, you will just touch it in various ways without even consciously thinking about it. Odd.

[@brettcannon74]

I use baby shampoo in my beard. It works and it's cheap. I have a great healthy beard

[@kevinlynch1227]

VERY Cool Big Thick Beard Brett!!!! I wish I could grow a beard like that!!!

[@ricomeierringrose2794]

Hey Eric, do you have some god advise on how to tame a curly beard 🧔🏻

[@rayprevette]

My dog bites at my beard. Sometimes it gets a good hold on it. 😂

[@Dimebag333x]

I think you got it all right. I recently shaved my 3 month beard because of virtually all the habits you just named. going to start from scratch and hopefully not touch it this time around. Just letting it grow is harder than I thought, I'm always trying to tweak it. And lastly getting the neck line has always been tricky for me. Thanks for the tips!

[@123raggett1]

Close your eyes and pretend it’s Kermit giving you beard tips.

[@toddbates3587]

i dont trim my beard or my neck, i only clean hairs outside the beard line in the hi cheek area, my beard is 2 years old and is down below the naval

[@ComradePark]

Is it me, or does he sound like Kermit the Frog on testosterone?

[@hypefinn3054]

Or Squidward

[@edoardoconcy5346]

Fun facts: this video have an add with Kermit. (Yes he does)

[@shirosenshiesq]

Plucking is my worst habit. I'll feel a stray hair and pull it out, then the next one over will be stray and I'll pull that. Then more hairs will feel out of place, and I'll keep going until I realise I now have a patchy part and it looks stupid until it all grows back, but it takes longer for a plucked patch to grow than a trimmed patch. One day I'll break the habit.

[@LordSplittawig]

Should I stop looking at my beard in the mirror and brushing it every 48.6 seconds, or is this obsession reasonable and socially acceptable?

[@Differentstuff112]

I have a bad habit i bite the hair near my mouth

[@michaelashbrook3195]

Use a moustache wax and rub it into your 'stache and groom it away from your mouth. From there use the residue wax on your finger and rub the hairs around the corner of your mouth. Dont use to much wax othrwise it will be obvious af

[@schutzstaffel6337]

Hahah same

[@RyanMatson]

why was #1 even on here...... if you don't have a beard then....ahhh, forget it, smh

[@Vidar.m]

Perfect lines a overstyled beard, ruin a good beard....

[@scottl495]

Big shoutput to Eric and Beardbrand for making these videos, used to think i had a patchy beard because while i was in the military longest i went without shaving was 2 weeks. Grew a yeard in 17', realized my beard isnt patchy at all. Recently had a freak accident with a dryer and chopped my Yeard off in its prime. Lol Now starting from fresh!

[@ti5866]

I've been pulling the hairs from my moles for years, I wish they got traumatized

[@Jameskenomis3]

I hate how having a beard has become effeminate. Just grow a damn beard!

[@roykevinclavelesmoreno418]

Man u are a caveman fr.

[@osbon]

Thanks for sharing about plucking! I have that habit too. Glad to know I’m not the only one!

[@jtorres5381]

Yea I know guys who just use balm but use shampoo and still looks flawless. Most vids are trying to push their products, see which you are. It's all genetics really.

[@jtorres5381]

I use products cuz my beard hair is all over the place and I do need shape. Plus it might sound girly but damm it smells good throughout the day.

[@pedrodeeg3893]

does consistently touching bald patches reduce the chances of hair growth there??

[@oks1042]

I laughed out loud at your look of instant regret when you were talking about wash/conditioner manufacturers using silicones... lol. You guys have great videos though. I've had facial hair for several years but only just now tried growing out my beard. I'm 3 months in and your videos have been a lot of help.

[@ed74rich]

I don't use hair the cheap 2 n 1 shampoo on my beard. Sometimes I use body wash, I've used bar soap on occasion when left with no choice. Still got a ton of volume as well as length. I don't trim, shave, apply oil, use special product. I constantly sweat in it, get grease and dirt... Sometime blood in it as well as ketchup and BBQ sauce.. I wash it everytime I wash my face... I comb or brush it once in the morning. No beard problems here.

[@steevo9656]

got your rambo stripes yes? lol

[@kevinlynch1227]

Hi Eric. Great video!! Is it true that beards have millions of germs in them? I have a friend who is a germaphobe and says he would never grow a beard????

[@madbear3512]

I a fit 19 year old OK my uncle and every one who comments on my beard says it looks scatcfly.

[@theartofwanderlust]

How did those Vikings manage with out all that product

[@nthavotelcam4112]

They had some kind stuff like this. Plus there beards we’re well trimmed and maintained. They weren’t savages.

[@wr9733]

Close your eyes and imagine Kermit the frog talking to you about beards

[@sylvainbassil]

i like how they advertise every single moment lol

Sylvain Bassil you're on crack man if you think we advertise all the time.

[@reformed1307]

@@EricBandholz bit harsh haha

[@MarcosAG90]

plucker here. I can say it is definitelly one of the worst things you can do to a beard. Specially if you have thin beard, those patches will start to be really visible. I cant stress it enouth. Dont pluck it

[@predragradovic7758]

this all beard obsesion are mental..talking about beard like its something complicated.all these so called experts have same shity beard as all of us.just wash it with warm water and thats it.use comb and woala.

[@whiric1]

I have a patchy beard now, do to chemo treatment I have been on for the last 4 month. I can of got back to my night & morning routine and it only been a month, but I can progress. So I say if any information you can give will be great. BREAD ON.

[@michaelbroderick527]

Rickie I'm praying for you in the mighty name of JESUS!!!

[@michaelfisher7835]

I have to wash my face, hence, I use bar soap and I cant divorce my beard from my face. It just doesnt work that way.

[@travisheitman4658]

my dad used hair conditioner his whole life. his beard just like mine was magnificent.

[@TheArtistShazad]

Thanks for the advice! Also loving the new intro! 🙌🏽💯🔥🔥🔥

[@titobruckner5628]

Never shave your cheek--organic fractal line; nature's aesthetics are hard to beat.

[@Labjunkie83]

My beard resembles long pubic hair,

[@MoseyOnout]

i have a similar issue with my pubes.

[@ZeugirdorVin]

Then you should both shave it off.

[@ZeugirdorVin]

Oh lol nvm. Just staff.

[@ZeugirdorVin]

Actually.... no still both.

[@damonmiller8118]

Because it is pubic hair basically the same thing

[@Jason903]

Where can I find red beard dye? They have every color except red!!

[@RatedVideos]

Man... Ive ruined my beard so many times due to creeping lines, first it looks really good then I continue making it look “good” then I go to far and destroy it completely....

[@EricBandholz]

Just think of each of those experiences as learning lessons and helping you on your journey to having a more kickass beard. I've gone through those stages as well and making mistakes is how we learn best. Keep on growing!

[@Brave-Native]

#1.........shaving 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@Bu7asoOon]

I love my artificially made beard

[@leeyahwehson2753]

Really? Not eating properly is enough Huh...

[@donsiford9870]

I have my first beard and the hair grows in different directions I don't know how to fix it.

[@KingMu7740]

Creeping lines, so deceptively damaging.

[@luckykleinschmidt3931]

I'm 20 now, I've had a very full beard since 14 years old. I have been pulling my beard hairs out for over a year now, from anxiety etc. I can't stop myself. I have bald spots now that I hope grow back in. I look at pictures just from weeks ago when I thought it was bad and in all honesty it was as good if not better than Eric's. I hope and pray to God I have not damaged the follicles. I'm very disappointed in myself. It started because it was itcchy and there was like one hair that felt bad. Spit end etc. I know appearance doesn't exactly matter. But I've been through so much stuff stress etc it's killing me. To anyone who read this stop pulling your beard hairs out.

[@denverwood5290]

I rub a spot on the right side bald, and I occasionally pull some of the hairs out too. If you have bald spots, you can use a derma roller and minoxidil. It helps.

[@dennisleporte2327]

I find that I have to be cognizant not to pluck at my beard when I am A. Driving B. On my laptop.

[@Beardbrand]

Same here! - Jack

[@wedeserveavacation7200]

I'm asian, and i can't grow beard on the cheek line. I fucking hate it.

[@TheMadHatter1330]

I can't stop biting/nibbling my moustache 😰

[@congerscott6064]

They didn't have beard balm, beard oil, beard wash conditioner or any of that stuff 20 years ago and guy's had beautiful big beards, in the 1800s guy's were lucky to have a bar of soap to wash their beard with and look at some pictures of some of those beards and mustaches....WOW ! These products work well for sure, i do use beard oil occasionally, i wonder if cave men had soap on a rope and deodorant ?

[@topreview3791]

I think they had healthy food back then and they got fresh air and exercise

[@Beyond_The_Beard]

Are plastic combs bad for Beards?

[@Dragonace172]

I don't cut or shave my beard.. nor do I pluck at it.. I use only beard shampoo and conditioner.. rarely use my beard straightener and don't blow dry it at all.. I take 5000 mg of biotin a day as well.. my beard is healthy and thick.. been growing it for about 6 months plus.. and at almost 47 years old, this is the first time I've ever grown a beard such as this.. hated hair growth on my neck because of the itching so I always looked Amish but I decided to get over it.. now it looks awesome and I'm always getting compliments on it.. BEARD NATION!

[@SilverSeraph100]

What did men use before beard care products?

[@Arcturus83]

So what if use natural shampoo/conditioner to BEGIN with? Do I still need BEARD POO? The question that will never get answered...

[@SIG442]

2. Good point, I should look into that. 3. Why would you even want something that hot near your face? A simple mistake is easily made. But I may need to look into something as you mentioned. 4. Plucking is indeed a bad habit, I also have a serious problem with that

[@anthonyowsley8286]

My problem with my beard is, I comb it WAY too much....... I am 5 months and 3 weeks into a beard, And I comb my beard probably 5 or 6 times a day...... I just noticed, I have a comb in my hand as I speak.

[@user-th9jn3uv2z]

I kinda have bad genetics, thin beard and I have the worst habit of plucking my chin hair and then I get hard bumps on my chin filled with oil. Any suggestions anybody?

[@bfm2194]

Damnit man, my wife made eye contact with your stash and now she’s pregnant

[@simonkerr1899]

Been a while since I watched. I'm back

[@MrMMAJER]

Now. That is a beard!

[@Alex-qj6ki]

[@reeno1357]

I always use normal shampoos and conditioners, my beard looks good, and it feels good. I have my beard since years.

[@DannyKapatrik]

I get a lot of breakage on the corners under my chin, they’re extremely coarse no matter how much oil I use. I wash with a beard shampoo once a week, I don’t understand why it’s just under my chin that’s so dry and keeps breaking. I also have pili multigemini, maybe that’s the issue. Any help?

[@TheCbot88]

Be a man. (Or a bearded lady) #ladybeards

[@ACTSVERSE]

Wives destroy beards.

[@nobringuk]

He has been drinking

[@eatmykwad]

you forgot having a massive tash ;)

[@bobbyhempel1513]

My shampoo and conditioner have the same exact ingredients does the crap you're advertising has so this is just a Shameless plug trying to sell your products and my shampoo and conditioner are less than half the price of your beard wash and beard softeners

[@JNeil1975]

I notice incorrect beard lines a lot. I like a thick beard but one that’s well groomed. An out of control beard looks horrible, like face pubes. If some guys did a naked hand stand you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.

[@alexanderpenafiel4003]

Me gustan tus vídeos yo tengo 19 años pero tengo la barba como alguien de 30, mi problema es que nose como darle forma a la barba o como hacer que sea mas lacia y no tan ondulada, me ayudarías mucho haciendo un vídeo sobre eso, muchas gracias, soy de Ecuador

[@akbarnaqvi4737]

I don't understand the conditioner thing. Hair conditioner is perfectly adequate, and probably recommended, for your beard. Though I should mention that I use a silicon and parabin free argan oil conditioner. Also: using plastic combs is bad (for your head hair and beard), I didn't believe it before, but my beard felt so much dryer before I ditched that shit.

[@dennissnider8712]

I got nerve issues I'm thinking I can't hardly keep from picking at it

[@ThemissouriTraveler]

Eric violated the biggest rule. Shaving the beard. Kids table bro.

[@TheRaneri]

Lmao his reaction when he realized what he was doing with his hands.

[@pindowskivich]

#1 killer of a beard...a wife who continually tells you how much she hates your beard.

[@loveforpeople678]

good video man

[@stevencabrera8193]

good advice👍

[@brandoncaldwell95]

Funny how many people tell me to shave. I ignore all and am determind to grow a bread. Course it loose like ahit but better than most.

[@donhatter159]

Shaving a beard off are the biggest regrets of all time

[@bikeillymorales2338]

I was thinking to bleach and change the color of my beard. It is bad for my beard??

[@DanielS10291]

I constantly pull out mine. You say about split ends. Mine seems to be 80% split ends. Also why is the lighter hair under my mouth so dry and horrible feeling??

[@greeneyes1963]

Picking at your hair and pulling it out is called Trichotillomania. I was used to know someone that had Trichotillomania. He would end up with big bald spots on the back of his head, not so much his beard though.

[@daleschmidt7157]

I'm retired and in no hurry so I don't use hair dryers. I will pat my hair and beard as dry as I can then I let the atmosphere around me do the rest. I love stroking my beard. I'll run my hands thru my hair and then thru my beard thus transfering my hair oil to my beard. Is that a bad thing? I've always thought that natural oils were the best.

[@journeyintothebible]

I'll be at 4 months next week. Haven't trimmed or shaved anything but the 'stache and 1/2 inch under the arms of my glasses. No split ends or fall outs yet due to diet and good habits. I haven't heard the tip on blow drying until your video. Thanks!

[@TheMrElzebub]

I have to admit. I have a plucking problem.

[@thuggie1]

who uses hair straighteners on a bread

[@remorema]

Plucking is definitely a bad habit for me. I’m trying to quit doing it but it’s not easy

[@slaphappyone8001]

Just found your videos today. Gonna use some of your advice's. My beard is mostly gray and scraggly. Never had advise how to take care of my beard. I think using the Adams apple two finger thing will help. Little I did with it today, my wife even noticed! She likes it! Thanks!

[@johnb4605]

I no how you can ruin a beard. Let Chris bossio spray hair fibres all over it and shape It up like it's stuck on lol

[@nathaniellawrence6401]

I don't see a problem with all natural shampoo and conditioner.

[@thatchannel195]

I can't ruin anything cause I don't have one...

[@bobstafford2068]

I've been growing my beard now for about 17 months. I play Santa Claus for two churchs and a daycare. I'm 61 years old and I've noticed my beard seems to be slowing down it's growth. I'm on a number different medications for bloodpresure, cholesterol, and heart. Do you have any tips for faster, healthier beard growth?

[@armadillotoe]

If it is that delicate, just cut it off. You weren't meant to have a beard.

[@miriamthechef9551]

Wow this guys is my future husband... he just doesnt know it yet
