Are You Wavy, Straight, or Curly? How Texture Affects Your Beard | Greg Berzinsky

[@renaissanceengineering-lee4210]

Man, I always thought my tight wavy beard looked childish and pube-y, but now that I've let it grow down, I'm seeing that my huge patches disappear completely after not much growth and I can still style it into shape. Everyone should love their own beard!

[@mikeghost7788]

That's the main thing is getting past the awkward stages. Rime it takes time lol.

[@GregErickson77]

ME TOO! Currently a 6 inch beard (a years growth) that looks 2 inches. This may be a 5 year commitment to get where I want it to be.

Great points you bring up! There are some facts that apply to all beards, no matter the hair type, skin type, or any other factor. Such as: silicone has no place in beard products or the fact that all facial hair produces less sebum oil than head hair. Hair texture and skin type (dry or oily) can change a lot of things though! From the tools you use, the routines you develop, and the types of products you use (thick oil, thin oil, etc . . .). Have to find what works for your beard, within the facts. Great topic!

Curly, I am mixed so my beard is definitely different. I was thinking straight was what I wanted. I have learned to embrace the curl. Thanks for the videos.

[@arturomillan]

I have a very curly beard, so I usually have to put up with curly beard problems. By watching your videos I've come to accept the type of facial hair that I have and I've learnt how to work with it to look my best. Thank you for uploading this kind of content, it's all good stuff! Cheers!

[@Beardestd]

We cannot change the texture of our beard and we need to make the best use of our hairs, I have a Pacific Ocean wave running from my sideburns to my chin but I try to manage it by blow drying upwards to remove the drop in my chin and to improve the density of my beard. Would not shy away to mention that beard brand has improved my style and elegance in the last three years from styling my beard, hair and my overall dressing,still long way to go. Loved your video beard brand thanks a lot!!

[@ryptoll4801]

My beard is mostly wavy, but has a few defined curls in it here and there when it's longer. I think it's nice to have some texture in it, so I like it being a little curly. I'm excited to see how my curls will form as I grow it out longer. I don't wish it was any straighter. My head hair is also a mix of wavy and curly, but it used to be straight. I haven't permed it or anything. It just started curling itself naturally one day, a little bit at a time. It's only my thinning hair on top that stayed straight/wavy, lol. So, hair texture can actually change for some people. I've heard it's mostly big changes in one's hormone levels that can change that. I'm really glad my hair turned curly on its own. It was a pleasant surprise!

[@aktherich5225]

Yo mine too I used to have straight hair till I was 17

[@billythebeard6055]

Before my grey beard, it was dark brown. It was very wavy. Then it changes when my grey hairs start to come out. It was very wonky at first while blending in, but when it starts to become whiter at the bottom, it starts to become more of a corkscrew. Now it's becoming more straight-ish in the bottom side area. Exciting stages that are very interesting to me. At first, I don't like it, but now I embrace it as my own.

[@seansullivan4709]

My grays are straight too but are coming in swiftly. I have a beardstache now and 1/3 is gray so far. I finally look my age now at 53.

Today I had a bad beard day and I was looking for a video about hair texture and this video comes as a cherry on top of a cake. Thanks beard brand alliance . 1st comment btw

[@schutzstaffel6337]

What does bad beard day mean exactly?

[@theartistformerlyknownasbr4849]

I have a very similar hair type as you, mostly straight with a slight wave. I have never grown my beard out much beyond about 1/2 inch before last year. I have learned a lot and grateful for all the content on KZbin to assist. The right side of my face grows straight upwards, and when shorter made me crazy, but now it's longer it lays wonderfully. The left side however, when short it is awesome, but as it gets longer there are two distinct cowlicks that make turbulent pools of wavy hair. Now it is getting long enough that I can see what it's doing it's not bad, but for awhile I was going crazy trying to figure it out. Lessons learned for next time, but for now it's time to let it grow...

[@ABrokenSociety]

My beard annoys the piss outta me. The right side of my face lays nicely and is easy to groom. The left side, when it hits a certain length, gets a LOT of kinks and weird, extreme waves, and is very hard to groom. Even when I get it to a shape I want, within 20 minutes, it looses shape. :\

[@OfficialEDirty]

I feel your pain.

[@beardbrothersproducts7061]

I definitely have a wavy/curly beard. Working on growing it out some more. My Italian gene blessed me with facial hair at 12 years old lol I had a beard for the last 12 years. Keep up the great work guys!!

[@bayareadoghouse]

I have straight beard hair like Greg and I use a Conair steamer used for getting wrinkles out of clothes and it gives me a natural looking curly beard. Just steam my face. It also makes trimming my beard easier as the long 5 in hair doesn’t just drape against my face or off my chin give it structure and resistance Try it if you have straight hair. Definitely adds volume and looks natural. Not like the curling iron just demonstrated.

[@kylic111]

Interesting experiment. My beard is wavy, but it's different on each side. My chin waves outward on the left and inward on the right, making the round brush a necessity there. As the day goes on, it just kinda goes wherever, and as I comb it the waves get more defined. It's kinda frustrating, but at the same time unique. So thanks for sharing this video, Greg.

[@Antares41]

My chin and mustache are pretty wavy, but my cheeks have way more curl, makes growing for length a pain, but it does help my beard look fuller

[@kpra.2pro590]

so nice you seeing the best of all types - a guy with a curly beard

[@KurokiCollab]

I actually am very glad I found this video. I used to hate my beard after it was grown out. Eventually just shaved it all off. Longest I ever grew it was about 6 months. I am asian so my beard looked like the guy in Kill Bill. Wispy would be the term I'd give it.. basically straight but also thin because of Asian genes. But now I will try to curl it and give it more texture.

[@Brandon_N420]

My beard is very curly, especially on the bottom. It’s very hard to get a comb through it, unless I shower in the morning.

[@ahmedkharsa5742]

I feel you pain man i am on a yeard journey but it’s getting super tough and the fact the its super curly makes it look short when I know for a fact its longer is very demotivating... wanted to grow a long viking beard but even if the hair is long its too curly to even show ;(

[@briano.5746]

My beard is pretty straight. And I gotta say you got blessed with killer hair Greg. You look freakin' awesome! PEACE 💀👽🎸🎶🎵🧔

[@matthewstreacker7402]

Just wanted to give a tip since I used to bleach my hair white, purple shampoo/conditioner should help your yellowy tinted beard hair so that it looks more white.

[@BaAl-Alex]

I always see a difference after showering, mz beard is curled up quite a bit. after applying some beard oil and blow drying it with a comb, it gets "longer" in appearance. So the difference is quite dramatic (looks like 3-5cm difference in Length) I usually try to maintain a little wave throughout the day, but curls come back over the course of the day. In the evening the beard is about 2cm shorter than in the morning. I'm fine with this, it showes that the beard itself is "alive" and not some dead attachment to my face

[@thebeardedseeker5633]

i have a combination beard. some hairs are straight, some curly, and some wavy. it's very frustrating and hard to keep tamed because the curly hairs make the straight hairs stick out.

[@markleone6700]

Dashing looks aside compared to my aesthetically-challenged face ... I think we have somewhat similar beards. Mine is definitely wavier. But I also have a medium amount of medium textured hair, my growth pattern is similar (bare spots that flank the soul patch), and the hair on my sides not as straight as the front and it also goes terminal, while the front continues to grow. Great stuff.

[@theotherviraat546]

My beard is insanely curly, especially in the neck area. It’s ridiculous, been growing it for about 14 months but only looks like it’s 6-7 months since it’s so curly. I’m not a huge fan of blow drying but I have to if I want to double my beard length

[@paulhaggard8716]

I like the transformation when you curl the beard... You become Neptune, god of the sea (!) (minus the scepter though..).... :) Seriously my curl party is so extreme that I have to do the super short beard or my OCD freakout kicks in immediately. Jealous of your length, but in a good way.

Fifty shades of Greg

[@thedarthflagger]

Greg did you put heat serum in your beard before you used the wand? You don't want to destroy your beard.

[@BerzinskyRules]

[@eladiocofresi5202]

My beard is naturally curly. Without a hair dryer, my beard looks like a mess, and barely manageable (trust me, I had that phase before Beard Brand and Beard Board inspired me.) This is reminding me of the time, I was knitting with double pointed needles (making a pair of gloves,) and I occasionally stashed one of the needles in the beard (this was not done in public.)

[@Igni-bu5mz]

My beard is wavy/curly and I love it, but it's also very dry. I've read on multiple sites that curly beards are drier because the sebum can't travel along the length of the hair as effectively. This sucks. I feel like I can barely comb it or brush it because it's so not compliant and so non-pliable. Any tips? Even though your beard isn't curly, I'm a first timer at 38, and you know a lot more about beards than I do. Someone help - I feel like I lose a soldier every time I comb or brush.

[@vamheredur413]

Hey, you probably found an answer, but I believe applying a beard oil, Jamaican black castor oil for instance (perhaps with a peppermint essential oil to increase hair growth), would do wonder for you!

[@matthewjarrod2523]

You need to spray some argon oil on your beard prior to using heat. Argon protects your hair from frying when using heat up to 420 Fahrenheit. That's why a good heat brush with heat indicated by numbers is desired. Now, this guy is a veteran beards man but the color change indicates he's straight up cooking his beard. Never use this type of iron. I'm saying this because it's difficult to do, I guarantee if I tried to use it I would have burn marks all over my face and neck.

[@PilgrimChris]

Another interesting video Greg. Love the hair and beard style your currently rocking. I'm into 4 weeks growth at the moment.

[@beltfed4624]

My beard is getting quite long, and my beard hairs are flat and curled like ribbons. When I shower, my beard lays in long rings that form an almost perfect curl pattern, so I'm convinced it's the way my hair folicles just naturally shape the body of my beard. I have no neck beard, it stops precisely at a natural shave line just below my jaw, so no need to shave and sculpt anything. However, with the heavy curls in my beard, it literally creates knots when I comb it, so I have to dampen my beard first, otherwise I lose hair. I'm at the age where I get plenty of snow white hairs here and there, but the foremost of my beard is deep auburn brown/red. The white hairs will not dye, they resist the dye, so I know as my beard slowly turns white it will be a handsome one. Beard stuff is just as complex as women's stuff, they just think we're crazy for having 57,240 beard products. 😄😄😄

I'm having difficulty trying to identifying my beard texture. The beard under my chin curls/swoops in under my chin and will not straighten no matter how much products or brushing I do. It ends up swooping under my chin in a matter of minutes. My facial hairs grow straight at the base or root of the hair, but hooks towards the tip of the hair. My beard isn't long enough to tell the textures.

Got a white beard that's straight with the ringlets going on. I have to back comb because my neck beard grows longer than my chin beard. All kinds of directions that I have to deal with.

[@bdurrrr]

I'd like to grow a beard, but I struggle to get past 7 days or so. Now, my beard doesn't grow very fast, and after a week I have what lots of guys would consider a stubble. But the hairs are very straight and they tend to stick out to the side, especially on my cheeks. My cheeks have significantly less growth than my chin and neck as well. I just don't like the look of it. Would it get better, soon after that first week or...? I cant go too long with a messy look because of my job.

[@BeardbrandAlliance]

Hey man, that is a great question. The best thing for your beard is to let it grow out, but I understand the issue with your job. Try keeping your neck and cheek lines trimmed to give you a clean and polished look. Let me know if that works, and if not, we can talk in more detail. -Mack

[@bdurrrr]

@@BeardbrandAlliance Thanks for your reply! I've chosen to grow it out, but I keep my cheeks very short for now, as the hairs refuse to lay flat. They are almost perfectly horizontal, which just doesn't look good. As for the rest: I'm going through somewhat of an awkward phase right now, but I think it's mainly because I'm not used to more than a weeks growth. Going better than I expected so far!
