I’m 22, been growing my 1st beard for about 6 months. With some patchyness on the cheeks it’s been tough but finally starting to look like a real beard. The biggest mistake I’ve made was trimming my mustache shorter for the first few months. Letting the stache grow out all the way has helped fill in some spots. The main thing I keep telling myself through this journey is “ILL NEVER GIVE UP” 🤣👍

[@londonwatson7342]

Greg says sometimes length is what gives it its fullness. Not everyone can grow a perfect Alex costa beard unfortunately 😂

[@dailybikingcommute1132]

Great video Eric, at 43, my beard is still getting better, growing without touching for the first time, 3 months and finally figuring out MY beard. Thank you for the advice and motivation 🧔

[@BumpMoscow]

Hello from Russia and thank you for your content. Here we lack the wise ones beard advice videos like yours. Currently on my 4th month of growing and mine beard gets better and better through time. Always keep on growing, folks!

Longer you grow it the better it gets, currently on my 5th month (pepermint oil was my secret to get the hair out of the skin on my cheeks)

[@mattjackel474]

I’ve been watching your videos for a couple of years now and have really appreciated the knowledge and advice that the Breadbrand community have passed on. It helped me become feel more comfortable with my beards potential and inspired me to grow and keep a beard for a few years now. I thank you for this. One thing that I’m not sure the channels have touched on much is winter maintenance. I’m outdoors for a decent amount of time and will be in and out of heat/cold a lot in a day. And I’ve noticed that for the last couple of years I’ve really struggled with keeping my skin healthy from Oct to March/April, particularly on my chin. It gets extremely itchy in these months and finding good products to help is really difficult. I’ve invested in a number of products and am happy to pay for good products, however the number of products out there is overwhelming and finding one for my specific products is surprisingly difficult. I use reasonably good quality balms, oils and moisturisers. However the only product that I’ve found helps is Palmers cocoa butter and that will ruin my skin elsewhere if I use it to much. Just a side note on this, my beard is relatively similar to Eric’s, hence commenting on this video. It’s more spares overall than his, but grows quite well on the chin and stache, more thin on the sides, it’s reddish and is wavy, maybe more curly than his on the chin… If any of this information helps. I wonder if my issue is common with guys in colder and/or more temperate climates, if so I thought it could be a worthwhile video recommendation? An idea of product types, ingredients and grooming habits specifically for winter beard might be an interesting video. What do my bearded brothers in temperate to cold north do in winter? Please, any advice would be greatly appreciated, I was so close to being beardless last winter 🤯 I don’t want those thoughts and temptations again this year!

[@Salas_Massachusetts]

I do get jealous of Greg and Carlos beards they have the best beards in the world.

[@EmbraceTheBeardLife]

Great video as always Eric. Lots of good advice here for the newbies!

[@gabrielguerrero3404]

That beard is perfect. The mustache really makes it stand out

[@Anthony-ov8jq]

Never grown mine out more than a month or so. I'm coming up on 3 months and I think it gets a little better every month so far

[@herberthill9984]

heck yea dude! enjoy it and keep it up 😎

[@illtronics]

Dude.. Uncanny how similar our timelines are lol Last winter I grew mine out for about a month and then shaved it. Back in August, I decided to grow it longer so i'm about a week away from 3 months. Hoping I can keep it going thru the winter

[@lollgodz9965]

Im 5 months in, 25y/a, last month when I went to get my first trim the barber who did my beard told me that it is great on thickness and she approved my idea on growing it out til it goes, its around 3 inches in length now and I cant wait to see how far it grows (no shave challenge I set myself when I turned 25 while having like 12mm length fresh trim that morning, set myself up for a year of no shave) been hydrating it with peppermint oil that I made myself using fresh peppermint and ev-olive oil, did help it grow thicker and faster at the beginning but Im down to that slower pace now when I oil it less frequently, keep up the good work on channel and well, long beards have returned to fashion i guess 🎉

[@catmandoo3735]

Puberty started out late for me; I'll be 58 in December. Facial hair finally started growing in this year. I used to only have to shave once a week. Since I'm retired and no longer have to worry about having scruffy facial hair I decided to try growing one. I've been at it for almost two months and my beard has only grown out about an inch. I'm trying to be patient as I am having problems with patchy growth. I'd like a fuller beard but sometimes I wonder if I should just settle for thicker sideburns with a goatee. I'd rather not though.

[@lukejackson9848]

Hey, BeardBrand, how can I learn of barbershops, geographically, that you recommend? I live in Northern California, South Bay Area, so traveling to Austin, TX is a bit far for me to drive for a haircut, but especially a beard trim, style, etc. I want my beard professionally done. Thanks.

[@skyhigoodies]

So I'm back at the attempt of beard growth. I shaved completely clean last night and today would be the start of the journey. Getting through 90 days is a challenge. It's itchy. It's rough. It's just not a walk in the park. I'm excited to see what it turns out to be like. I'm 42 now so let's see what happens in a years time! Any tips on going natural with beard care and hygiene (meaning right now no oils or balms)? Can't wait to hear from you guys! Beard on!!!!!!!!!

[@coreyschmidt734]

How’s it going?

[@rockyevans1584]

Definitely push past a month, lot of great changes between month 1 and 3. Doesnt change much after that as far as density, feel like im a short beard guy but trying a half yeard again. Lets fuckin go boys

[@tylertibbs7193]

Hey Eric! I’m 21 and growing my first power beard (6-8 months) and I’m on month 3 now. I’ve grown a thick beard since I was 12 or so. It grows pretty thick everywhere except my mustache. It takes more time. For someone 3 months in, would you recommend the luxury grooming tool kit? I’ve been serious about growing a beard for about a year now but I’m only just now in an employment situation where I’m able to grow to my hearts content. Thanks in advance.

"I'ma grower not a show er" I knew they phrase would work one day.

[@slightlycrippled1551]

Videos like this help so many dudes , it's like our version of these glamor how to do make up channels . I worked as a waiter for years so never could grow a beard BUT me losing my leg 5 months ago sort of switched up my life style. I grew scruff but did exactly what he mentioned , I compared myself to other guys beards ...... Ive been growing for about two weeks so far and have noticed my hair is coming in alot fuller at 31 years old then even 5 years ago at 26 . Bout time ! Ha Stay tuned

[@uniquefreak13]

1 year anniversary next month for my beard... When i was younger I thought I'd never be able to pull a beard off cuz of the patches but here we are, it's more or less touching my chest...

[@charles.2001]

I've been watching your videos for a couple of years on Beardbrand and decided to grow my beard since the beginning of last year. I also experimented with different hairstyles. My parents don't want me to grow my beard out and wants me to keep it short because of stereotypes and racism, but I really want to grow my beard longer. How should I deal with it? I'm 20 and I also have a patchy beard and notice that when I grow it out it looks much fuller, but the problem is that my beard hair is wild and grows curly from different directions. Is there a way to make my beard appear neater while keeping it long?

[@austinsmithson3148]

Beard balm!!! My beard is wild curly and wavy as well, and a good balm helps keep it under control. A complete game changer.

[@EricBandholz]

Generally around 3 months of growth you can start to do advanced grooming techniques, like the one with a blow dryer and round brush. Or use a beard straightener device to help tame the hairs. Shorter beards can be more challenging to tame, but the boar's bristle brush and a bit of balm can help.

[@bradleywalker1283]

Thanks so much for the video so motivating and helpful as always beard alliance and Eric ❤

[@joshbattista7049]

I'm 22 and this is the longest I've ever gone without completely shaving my face, i still have some patchy areas but it's still growing nicely covering the patchy spots. And with the weather getting colder now, it's perfect where i can keep growing. The one part i can't connect yet to the rest of my facial hair is my stache. But the goal is to keep on growing!

[@aussieassassin6398]

Longest I’ve ever gone is 3 months it was still fairly patchy idk if growing it out longer than that would make any difference but I’m considering to grow it out for 6 months I’m 21 btw

[@joshbattista7049]

@@aussieassassin6398 Try it man, that's what i did. Of course mine took time to fill in most of the patchy areas when i was in my senior year of high school, but i was able to grow it out. At 22, it has made a difference for me growing it out longer than I've been able to. Grow yours out for 6 months, hell try and go longer.

[@kruppert54]

Eric, you’re a humble dude! So I will toot your horn so to speak. Beardbrand products might be a bit expensive for some budgets but you get a product made from natural ingredients and in the 10 months I’ve been with Beardbrand never have I regretted the purchase. I thought I’d try the comb Eric showed, I now have 3 and the brush does what he said it would. Be patient and treat yourself to these products because you’re worth it!

[@magnoliamike]

Using a Shavette really helps get those crispy line ups

[@ridgedawson7717]

I've had a beard for more or less the last ten years, and I've gone through periods of time using beard products, however, I currently have pets, cats and dogs, that like to lick my face when I get home before I shower, and I'm so paranoid about using anything that could be harmful to them. I know tea tree oil is pretty harmful to cats, and even small doses can be fairly toxic. Any recommendations for anything I could use to keep my skin hydrated underneath but still very natural and non-harmful to my furry friends? I've considered coconut oil and olive oil, but those both get kind of greasy feeling.

[@calvinkurucz6370]

Eric my brother please please release a product range for us beard brand guys who have sensitive skin.

From how many times I’ve grown my facial hair out, I’ve really grown to liking my bearded look. I shaved my last beard off a while ago because of something I did that ended up destroying it. Since shaving my last beard off almost every day since then I’ve missed having it and I’ve realized how much I enjoy growing my facial hair out. Since I really wanted to start to grow another beard out, I thought November would be perfect for my first month. I’m currently on my week 2 of growing it out and it’s already looking thick and dark! I definitely don’t enjoy the itchiness and patchy areas while my first month but that makes me even more looking forward to it getting fuller and thicker again!! And also for my first trim/ clean up at the end of this month. I loved this video and Beardbrand’s motto. KEEP ON GROWING!! I also love listening to your voice! Makes my day!

[@TxmmyBeats]

Okay no BS I’m growing it out for 3 months without any trimming or shaving. Hold me to it y’all!
