Beard trim starts at 13:35. Before and after 21:51. I covered a lot of information that you may have over looked so I hope you get something out of it. Cheers gentleman!

[@TheMDOutdoors2016]

Simply Serge question I am going a beard and I noticed that my one side is stronger than the other side what should I do about it.

[@aurelienfevre168]

the smarter advices i've heard for a while. As a struggling patchy growing beard guy, you've gave me some hope. Time to let it grow! thanks from France.

[@j.divine2463]

Man, You have the most awesome beard! That is what I aiming for. Really grateful for all your tips, teachings and guidance along the way. Thank you very much for all your videos that I've watched, learned and integrated into my beard journey. You are an inspiration. You truly rule!

[@fmyouthdev]

Keep these types of videos coming, really helpful!

[@divyanshdubey231]

This is actually one of the best advices I've heard in a while.

Great Advice man! Thank you!

[@danielannakin3421]

I wish I’d of seen this ages ago. Would of saved a lot of heart ache! Currently starting again after keeping the jaw line trimmed thinking it helped define my beard. It wasn’t what I was after but knew no other way. Look forward to more videos 👍🏻

[@joshuaresnick9053]

I have personally just started with my beard and I think that the advice was very well thought out and I will take it to advisement on my way. Thanks

[@toluwanioladosu8387]

I'm so inspired by your video and I will definitely follow your instructions

[@Starcrow999]

I've done all the mistakes mentioned in this video. I don't regret it, but I learn from it. Now I just let my beard grow so that I can do a proper trim later on.

[@qw261]

Awesome video mate. You remind me of myself i have a very similar beard and have browsed heaps of vids on KZbin and made my own beard plan accordingly.

[@gokkuto09]

Man, I’ve used your advices and got a really nice rounded shape on my beard! Keep up the good work 👌

[@SquirrelHops]

I think you're the first person ive ever suggest to keep the neckbeard. Maybe I'll try that after letting my other areas get a decent head start on it.

[@qubafootbag]

Very helpful video z although at the old videos without it you looked IMHO much better

[@hadhead5078]

Looking good bro 🤝 thanks for helping

[@AlexanderCrump]

Totally agree about the cheek line. It looks great to let it grow naturally - the higher on the cheek, the better. I despise sharp, carved and over-styled cheek and neck lines.

[@thecubeur33]

Alexander Crump I guess you don’t get hairs up to a centimeter below your eyes 🙄

[@aydict]

@@thecubeur33 most of us don't but even if you do, just cut those hair which are too high up the cheek, otherwise it does look a bit off

[@laurenso2229]

Very helpful, thanks! I didn't think I'd be able to watch the full 22 minutes, but I did. I am just confused, because I saw the photo of Leonardo di Capri with beard just a moment ago, and I definately don't want a neckbeard like he has.. and I think his looks..eh beardgrowth and mine are similar. Must..resist..shaving.. my neck..!

[@mattgiunt]

First beard video that says to just wash with water and yours is best looking beard of them all. Just water it is from now on. thanks

[@mystercy1]

He makes a good point on delaying a trim. There is an urge to do something but more often than not its not needed. I trim when there is an imbalance or something unsymmetrical. Beards are unruly by nature and can be tamed by wax products, clipping just reduces length, so if thats what you want, clip away.

[@davidcaballero1349]

I always cut to much off with those clippers and regrets after you are so correct by just using a good pair of barber scissors ✂️

[@jojon185]

Beard is looking great man

[@Norish1337]

Nice info thank you ! :)

[@LPcasper]

Great advices and video. About to wash the beard only with water it's ok but it's needed to use a shampoo at least once or twice a week to hidrate the skin and care also the beard. Cut with scissors it's also ok, cause we can control the trim much better than the clippers.

[@TheBoscombesurfreef1]

Great beard dude! Love the tunes as well what are they that are playing? Especially the one at 14 mins!

[@sooohaib92]

I also use badger's beard oil. The vanilla smell is sooo good and it makes a huge difference in terms of softness and itch reduction. Thanks for the great tips man!

[@simplyserge5000]

Badger is a game changer for me 👍🏼

[@DavidPixleythemuzzlZ]

good video. A problem that I have (and a lot of guys do) is that my neck hairs and a good portion near the side corners grows out pointing to the sides. I literally have a natural part under my chin and a V bald spot pointing up into the parting area... and then the neck hairs that V out grow more in between the middle and the sides, so the corners go up higher that that V area. I trimmed just the V part the other day because I want more squared off on the corners, but now I see that having that V area grow would would help the empty looking spots below the cheeks & near the sides of the chin. Thanks.

[@chrispotter2948]

Serge I appreciate your advice and perspective very much. I was clean shaven till 28 because my hair is sparse. Then the first time I let it go for 6 weeks I discovered I had enough stash and goat to pull it off. For 7 years I trimmed my mustache above my top lip and did 1.5-2" on my chin and sole patch. Everything else high and tight: sideburns, cheeks, neck. Finally about 4 months ago i let it all go. But, i only followed rule #1: don't cut it. In my stash/goat experience I never had a need or knew about oiling, shampoo damage, straightening/softening... so after those 4 months my checks and sideburns were a real mess. Both very sparse but also curly and out of control. Plus I was still trimming my mustache the whole time. And my upper cheeks were weak so I took some bad advise and kept that line lower too. Ah growing pains. Tips like yours have given me a bit of direction moving forward. For starters I'm going to double my mustache. I have a middle stash gap, which I embraced long ago and kinda like, but it always helped me justify keeping it shorter, like a van dyke. I think I can pull off a fuller mustache. About a week ago I started brushing and oiling everything hoping to lose some of the pube look on the sides. I actually trimmed my sideburns/cheeks/lower corners a bit just because of how unruly and curly they were. Looked thin and terrible being so sparsely rooted and stand-out curly. Luckily my neck line is good. I'm going to totally take your advise to stop so much shampoo. If I can get it all to soften and straighten with oiling and brushing then hopefully I kick this thing into 3rd gear. I even went ahead and changed up my hairstyle to really commit and embrace the new look. Thanks dude, if I can get close to where you are at I'll be happy. You mentioned you have about a year into that setup. This gives me hope. I'm in month 5 and have made a handful of mistakes. There's still progress to be made.

[@Giovanni097]

post progress ma dude

Greetings from India,Good video

[@naineshpoojary6559]

Fantastic moustache! How much time did it take for you to achieve this growth?

[@FaintinglifeJBS]

Great tips! It just sucks that I have no hair at my neck, at all. Not kidding. Hope it gets better with time.

[@pt4387]

haha all of the 'I see guys do this' remarks that you make is things I did do when cutting my beard. I agree it makes it look way worse. I found it pretty funny. You grow a good beard btw. I too am not bless with hair growth on the cheek area.

[@Lozwave]

dude, we have the same beard, I commented years ago on another video I think. We are both not super terminal or dense all around (weaker cheeks), we both have dirty blonde colours etc and with patience make it work well, its unique man. You have to work harder than me however.. in terms of maintenance. For example, you work in an office, lots of pressure from everyone and everything.. i'm a ground worker and foundation piler, I can literally do nothing and let it go, very fortunate in that sense. Good for you though man, well done. My head hair is slightly more blonde than yours, also when my beard in the sun.. it has an obvious blonde tinge in certain parts, but when i'm in the shade its very dark blonde almost brunette.. dirty/flaxseed blonde? xD seems similar to you, perhaps i'm wrong, either or/ great job dude. Stay glorious

[@espens5524]

Really helpfull video for trimming - great job! I saw an earlier video from you about haveing a healthy beard, and was wondering how often you put in beard oil?

[@simplyserge5000]

Every morning! Just a dime size, doesn’t need much. Thank you

[@beardedcatguitarplus9485]

My beard growth is almost like yours with it all being great just a little thinner on the cheeks and under the lip. Lol I wish I watched your video before I just trimmed. I didn’t use a buzzer though, now entire beard is like 3/4 of an inch 😕😟 lol. Got to say it’s going to let my cheeks blend seeing as I didn’t cut them at all. I think at this point I need to just not cut it at all for like a month or two and see how it looks. After the neck starts growing it just takes over cause it’s the fastest on me and just looks odd to me lol idk man. Keep up the great videos happy to have subscribed

[@yarekim5932]

Good advice on growing , trimming , and maintaining your beard and mustache . I like the Norwegian Viking Fisherman full square look . George Bruno @GreyBailey has really helped so many with beard and mustache advice .

[@aydict]

I agree with most of your points but some points don't properly work for most of us who have a really curly beard. For example, If we let the corners grow too much, they crumble up and make us look homeless XD Only 2 ways to fix that issue, either adopt a short beard style at least from the sides, or properly style it using wax and hair dryer.

[@shrimpony]

Listen to this man. I will never again go to a barber as long as I live. "Im growing it out, so take as little as possible, just even some things out etc". 2 seconds later 3 months gone, just like that.

[@TensenGaming]

You got that Tom Hardy stache 😁 My beard is pretty much identical to yours 😉 We are unlike many, mustache gifted 😀

Hey there ... I have worries of my beard growing process. I am in the 41 day now. I have patchy beard. The most patchy hole is right on the chin but on the both sides I have strong, full beard. It will be look like two bearded balls on the sides and in the middle will be patchy holes. I'm scared of that "Wolverine" result. Btw. I liked your videos bro !

[@freequenc5266]

Question Serge...I have never grown a beard longer than 6 weeks, im going for 6 months now, im at a month... i have some patchiness at the top of my cheekline, my question is, i see light colored soft hairs coming in.. do you know if those can turn into dark coarse "beard hairs", basically can strong coarse hairs continue to sprout even after a month?, have you experienced good new growth as time goes on?, im goin for your style of beard. Thank you, great videos!

[@simplyserge5000]

Keep the soft hairs, with enough of them they will appear coarse. Also old hairs eventually break and fall out so the more soft and course hairs the better. Some of my cheek hairs were baby hairs but now blend in nicely with my beard. Hope that helps!

[@lottabee]

I keep getting a lot of split ends in my beard, any things other than using products that can help with that?

[@simplyserge5000]

Use beard oil and try to stay away from shampoo and soap. Just give it a deep wash with water when you shower. Also food, eat fruits, veggies and grains, while limiting meats. Lastly, drink plenty of water. Seems to help me, especially long term.

[@samifandi963]

How you deal with the split ends cuz I’m not trimming my beard for like 1+ month(2months for now) and I’m kinda frustrated about them

[@Acceptera]

drink alot of water, that it doesnt get dried out

[@simplyserge5000]

I Agree, water, veggies, fruit and beard oil 👍🏼

[@yarbo9900]

Shea butter, cocoa butter, coconut oil all hydrate the hair really well. Argan oil is full of fat acids the hair will absorb that will hydrate and give the hair shine. Keratin is the protein that your hair is made of, adding keratin oil will strengthen and thicken the hair. Trim the split ends, then get some oil and balm.

My beard sucks and is patch as hell as is my brothers. My father had hands down the fullest beard I’ve ever seen in my life. He had the fullestest best mustache my entire life. I was like sweet I’ll have a beard like that one day.....nope. I can barely grow shit. And yes he’s my father.

[@ausmarc1]

Your facial hair is dictated by the X chromosome, which is exclusively from your mother's side. Your father has nothing to do with your ability to grow a beard. If you struggle with a patchy beard (like me), look into Minoxidil.

[@fullofmuscledownunde]

Yeah I’m using it and it’s working really well. I already had a beard but it’s patchy and not full as I’d like. My mustache also doesn’t touch in the middle. Like a fairly large gap. I don’t know if minoxidil will ever give me hair as full as my father but maybe. Still feels like bullshit. I’m pretty sure my grandpa on my moms side. The the hair it self is very thick hair though. The density and color is the same. I’m thinking about dying the blonde out of it.

[@chrispotter2948]

Man I fell ya. My dad had a real nice beard too and I feel shafted. I too have a pretty big center gap in my stash but I've embraced it. Serge is inspiring, he's tried it, analyze it, focused and embraced. He probably would have had beardsmen tell him he couldn't pull off the whole package but he's working it. If I can get where he's at I'll be happy.
