8 BEARD GROWING MISTAKES YOU NEED TO AVOID with Matty Conrad

[@RaysMuleBarn]

I'm 67 and growing mine for 8 years. As a rideshare driver, younger guys always asked me, "how do you grow it that long"? My answer was, "don't cut it". Seriously, you never know what you have there until you let it grow, only then can you address any issues. As for grooming, I guess I'm lucky. I just use Zest soap in the shower, then apply a bit of liquid mink oil while it's still damp. I've used most every product out there, and it always looks the same anyway. As for trimming, start by letting it get "too long", then trim conservatively until you get a look you like. My mantra is " You have to go through ugly to get to beautiful, but there's a fine line between handsome and homeless ".

@@RobustNut Probably American

[@thomasalexander3406]

@@RobustNut In America our pension systems have been gutted by corporations and every time you turn around they are moving the goal post for Social Security. Add on to this that because of mismanagement of the Social Security fund they are having to shrink the amount you are given each month to the point that an average person cannot live on what Social Security provides each month, so many older Americans try to go as long as possible without retiring and filing for Social Security because if you defer until you are 70 your monthly stipend goes up. He could also just like staying active and interacting with people, but my guess is the former. TLDR: Americans are systematically being screwed out of a comfortable and dignified retirement by corporate leeches and their paid cronies in the government.

[@darklordthomaspie6293]

Well, no, because growing a beard is more than just not shaving- it's taking care of the beard so that it looks like a beard and not a tangled mess of hair all over your face.

[@jedlimen123]

Absolutely!!

[@riffbw]

The last one is so important. I've been going with a long beard for almost 7 years over two different stints. I've been told by people "I can never grow a beard like you." That's right, no one can like me because my beard is mine and it fits my face. It took me over a year of trimming, experimenting, and making mistakes to determine how to make my beard work for me. So now it's easy to respond to those comments. Grow your own beard, have fun with it, make mistakes, and enjoy what you have. Eventually you'll figure out how your beard behaves and you'll adapt your grooming habits to support your beard. The only mistake (other than picking bald spots in your beard) is being afraid to let it grow. PS. I find any all natural shampoo and condition that avoids chemicals and colors to be sufficient. A specific beard wash isn't always necessary. Oil for your beard is key. Don't skimp on that. I currently use Dr Squatch shampoo and Beard Care Club oils. PPS. As an added though, plastic combs can work, but they'll cost you. You want one that is well made. Cheap combs often have imperfections that leave barbs sticking out that can snag and pull hair. Something like a Kent brand that is handmade is crafted to remove those barbs that will damage your beard. But just to be safe, I always comb with a wide tooth comb first to remove the tangles and then use a finer one if I want to do something different style wise.

[@SebHaarfagre]

Good post, the key is, after all, to not pull out hairs, so watever works as long as it doesn't do that, or you do it properly :) A good horse or pig brush is sufficient in most cases though, in my opinion, unless maybe you want it to look extra smooth for some occasion

[@biggussdickuss6123]

38 years old and just grew my first beard. Didn't have enough growth until recently and used to have a job where shaving daily was required. Man it takes forever to grow for some people. What would take Matty 4 weeks to grow took me 8 months. But 8 months later, it finally got to the point where it looked like it needed a trim. I followed Matty's advice on the gq video and shaped it.. a bit of a learning curve as I quickly noticed my own face and growth doesn't quite work using the same exact procedure as his.. but the steps were basically the same. I had to tweak it a little bit because my upper sideburns have so few hairs, you can count them individually and my cheeks are patchy. I had to fade down and am now trying to figure out how to sculpt a lower setting beard. I don't like the thin, penciled in look, but have to deal with a lower set beard regardless. Trial and error but this method on the videos really helped open my eyes

[@mattyconradgrooming]

Great! Happy to help.

[@rafaelfogassa3692]

Great tips, man, thanks. I'll start implementing those practices in my beard routine.

[@mattsoloway500]

This was the most informative beard video, I’m definitely trying some of these. Thanks man!

[@mattyconradgrooming]

Thanks for watching!!!

[@sammyfamily2020]

The last point is the most crucial - well done.

[@ilikemyowncomments5374]

Thanks for the tips, I just need to grow a beard now

[@HighlandViking78]

Number 8 was what I needed to hear, thanks for the tips.

I respect him so much! The King of all beards 🤟🏼

[@danmitchell5897]

Like the advise not to compare and each beard is uniquely correct to the face it's on so be proud of your beard as it is. Thanks

That explains why I was seeing so much hair on my plastic comb....... Tuuuuhhh never using that again.😤 I trimmed my beard back down low so I can properly nourish it. It was dry and flakey as well. I also have a beard brush now! Can't wait to see how much better it will look! This video was great!!👍

I've been going for 18months now and haven't touched anything except my upper lip stash area and no issues and looks great.

Once I stopped screwing up #3, it was a game changer for my beard.

[@ericf5675]

Aha! You answered my burning question about baselines. From other videos it looked like I need to tip my head back so I can see my neck to determine where to trim. But I run into two problems: (1) My beard gets in the way so I can't see and (2) If I hold back my beard, I still can't see my neck because it's too dark under there. The tip #3 eliminates those problems. Thanks! 🧔🏻‍♂

Happy to help!

I thought the last part very catching cause motivates every guy to grow their own beards with their own styles.

[@kareemsherard9727]

Very helpful, thanks bro

I’m 19 and I’ve been trimming almost every day since I was 16. My mustache started to grow in 8th grade and by 10th grade I was already trimming my whole beard almost everyday. A month ago I stopped and since then every one likes the look but started to get like I wasn’t taking care of it. I’m a buy all the stuff and try to grow a handlebar. I always like the cowboy shop style type of beard.

It's like trimming a hedge in your garden, you think it's a bit sparse in areas but if you leave it for long enough and have enough patience it will fill out and you will be surprised.

[@joshholmes322]

Struggling to understand when I should use bear oil and when I should use the wash. Also if I like a much shorter cut beard style like 3-6mm depending, do I need both of them or either? Will they both work to moisturize skin and the facial hair? Just starting with all of this, loved the videos I've seen.

[@joshholmes322]

This doesn't answer my question. I'm confused

[@janicepyke5313]

Thank you! I trim my husband's beard and have been looking for a comprehensive video for months to learn to do it properly. None have came anywhere near yours. Good work

Saaaame^^^^^

[@alexmoor1166]

Hi Matty. Thank you a lot for your guides. It's very useful for beginners like me. Have question about #7 : What about soap for beard? There is some specially designed for beard in stores. Also additional questions: -What difference between oil and balm? When it's better to use oil and when - balm? -Do you have some advices for men like me - with sparse beard on my cheeks? I already started use brush, but maybe you have additional advices?

An old Scotsman told me the trick is to rub chicken manure into your face daily.. let me know if it works
