Seeing Carlos pulling on his moustache in London made me go all paternal! Sorry, for smacking you, but I think that you needed a little tough love. AND, I've see his cheeks up close and personal---the threading looks great.

[@Beardbrand]

Greg Berzinsky And we sincerely thank you for saving Carlos from himself. - Jack

[@BerzinskyRules]

Now it's smackdown time for Eric!

[@thedarthflagger]

You're both beautiful!

[@jonathonwallace4128]

I just turned 33 and decided to grow out my first beard ever. I'm glad I found y'all here on KZbin.. great stuff

[@gianniskarakotas7891]

I hope one day my beard will be as awesome as Carlos beard.

[@leonedoesfinance2104]

Giannis Karakotas same here bro

[@Hallowedwanderer]

After 5 months since you post this, have you seen any noticeable process?

[@gianniskarakotas7891]

Mike Ramirez i am just a 16 year old man so its completely normal to not have that density.My mustache and goatee are pretty full and the sides and cheecks are kicking in.I can say my beard is much fuller after 5 months

[@thebigbadbeanman]

Been 2 years, how you looking Chief?

[@EricBandholz]

Hey to be fair Carlos, the reason I do two hands is so that I break off the split ends rather than actually pull out the hair. :D

[@officersailor8418]

covering up, Eh? ;)

[@PixelGunner3D]

Eric Bandholz man in outri? OUT TEO OUT TEO TRO

[@PixelGunner3D]

Eric Bandholz DANGUT

[@toddtanner95]

At first I thought Carlos was wearing a turban. 😂

[@Beardbrand]

Tanner Todd Nope, just an old school golf cap. - Jack

[@peterp9090]

carlos and his perfect beard back at it again ! :DD

[@handidrummed]

Keeping the sides longer is a good tip. I was starting to do the sides shorter and my left side which isn't as dense as the right, looked visible more curly and unruly compared to the right. Now I'm trying my best to grow the sides out longer, and more so on the left slightly. Though it's still hard not to trim those strays that don't lay flat yet.

[@markprince7459]

Carlos’ beard...life goals! 🤞

[@johnboughen3064]

if you go short at the sides, the slow hairs which are growing less are not impacted (they grow slow) but difference is reduced. Beard is hair no different to hair cut and maintenance. Comb your beard, train it, cut it, sculpt it with intention for growth.

[@mariobranco123]

Hi Carlos ! Video 5 estrelas, continuação de bons vídeos. Keep up the good work :)

[@BCK2318]

Hands down the best beard. 🧔🏽

[@84jayjoshi]

that tip of twisting your moustache is so true! no wonder its not getting thick and bushy!

[@MattP-BandB]

As always, great tips. And Carlos has the most infectious laugh ever. Peace and Love PS love that hat bro. You’re rocking it

[@Beardbrand]

Matthew Pearson Carlos' laugh really is pretty awesome, isn't it? Good call on the hat too, he really rocks that look. Thanks for the support! - Jack

[@realtalkz3930]

I'm terrible for pulling my beard out I've had to shave it all back to like a number 2 about 3 times to allow the patchy parts to grow back before i can start growing a beard again

[@traids3514]

please if you can film when you go to get your neck tattoo done

[@Beardbrand]

Traids We'll see if we can do that. Carlos has mentioned the idea. - Jack

[@azefanas]

Nice boina mano! :D

[@TheBeardedBlueberryFarmer]

Your number one tip is exactly what I planned on doing right when I started growing long again. Made that mistake once and it never looked right to me.

[@packers31]

Hey amigos Carlos Costaas here

[@Beardbrand]

keith ferreira Classic Carlos saying right there. We oughta put it on a shirt. - Jack

[@davidwinstanley4996]

Such good tips, got a bit lost with beard recently as though maintenance of it is running away from me, this has reined in what I need to do with it and good goal for making it fuller in the next few months. Thanks again

[@ThekronicNet]

I've noticed thinning of the sides due to to much stroking and "pulling" of hairs, well at least I hope that's the problem. Currently trying to get my self in the habit of not touching it, which is easier said then done.

[@mitsuracer87]

Playing with and pulling on your beard is tough one not to do. Especially if you have trichotillomania..its the one reason I always have to shave after I get to about a month or 2 of growth and cant get beyond that point.

[@shafserious2805]

Very good video...the first advice is crucial, stops hair from spiking out and fustrating you to the point of terminating the beard👍👍 You can also pluck out the cheek hair, never shave cheek.

[@saxman7131]

Thanks Carlos. Great tips.

[@paulshealthfitness7922]

This is the best his beard has ever looked

[@4r3cQi]

Hey Carlos.. Great tips, as always. I have been growing my beard for about 8-9 months now, with few little trims to tidy it up. However my sides have always been a problem. Whenever it gets longer it's wavy or curly, the hair just shoot out in different directions. I've tried combing, brushing, using a styling balm - no matter what I do it looks messy, especially after I've washed my beard. So few days ago, just before I saw this video I did what you just mentioned NOT TO DO, I trimmed my sides short with intention of some sort of reset. To be honest I'am not 100% sure I like it, but I guess I will have to get used it for now and hoping to be patient and resilient not make the same mistake again. Your beard looks just awesome and I'm sure it took you months, even years to get to this stage, learning from your own mistakes. I've learned my lesson and just keep on growing now

[@liamjordan3068]

Arek Burak I have the same problem and trimmed just like you about 6 weeks ago. I didn’t like it at first as the proportions looked off. I thought against any more trimming. 6 weeks later and it grows in really well so don’t fret it and leave it. The hair grows faster in places and it fills in nicer then you’d think.

[@4r3cQi]

Liam Jordan thanks for words of encouragement. I'll do my best to stay away from a trimmer

[@Beardbrand]

Arek Burak Thanks for sharing your story. I think we've all been where you are now, making a mistake with our beards that we pay for in the next few days. The nice thing, it can always grow back! Grow and learn. Good luck in your future beard journey!

[@mitsuracer87]

Use a heated brush to straighten it

[@kirepetrosky2538]

2:53 Jeff rocks that like a badass

[@liamjordan3068]

Rick Sanchez I stole Jeffs idea of not touching the cheeks and it truly looks amazing. It bucks the trend of lines and changes how the face is seen.

Thanks a lot Carlos ! Your first don't is exactly what I do, and I'm upset with my curly beard on each side. I will stop to trim this section :D

[@martinpeterhughes9165]

Thank you Carlos good advice. I thought I was doing ok with my beard but I've just had a look and ? I am going a little short on the sides . But with your advice , that's easier rectified .

[@abaddon8418]

Great tips. Ty Carlos.😉

[@boca86]

Salute from Serbia, stay bearded :)

[@representsgo4104]

I was pulling my beard while watching the whole vid 😕

[@Beardbrand]

Vangelis Eminem It's a tough thing to overcome, but just like with any other bad habit, with practiced willpower, you can stop doing it eventually. A great alternative is to keep a comb with you and run it through your beard from time to time instead of pulling it. - Jack

[@meurer13daniel]

Glad I don't have this habit. I play with it all the time, but NEVER pull it out. My friend, when he was younger, had this habit and now he has a blind spot in his chin.

[@omegahtv6779]

Great advice Carlos. 👍

[@RS-nt6wu]

Hey Carlos excellent advice. What do you suggest for contour on the bottom of the beard, how far under the jaw line and what angle? Also would you suggest shaping beard on face so there is a flowing directional line or allow gapping from patchy growth to fill in as it grows with time and then consider shaping? Thanks!

[@tenzin6336]

Thanks Carlos for the BONUS! (lol). Great Tips !!!

[@abdallah2892]

Very good Carlos Costa!🇧🇷

[@josiahgold]

Carlos is fucking awesome. Such a handsome fellow. My goal is neck tats and my beard is already beasting

[@baldnbearded]

Perfect advice...

[@thomasvalenzuela3779]

Love your beard brotha!

[@Drfinnest16]

Number three "pulling the beard" is the fucking worst. This year alone it became addicting to do this and now I have a big patch or multiple smfh. This Friday I have no choice but to chop it off

[@Charzilian]

The last tip is a good one, but a little late for me. My beard is already long and want to grow it out longer. When I started growing it, I cut the neck line a bit too high up. Should I start over, or just let it catch up?

[@kierannessbert9714]

Appreciate the advice dude it's hard to get out of those bad habits I had to shorten my beard I regret it.. but I kept pulling on my chin hairs. Your Tattoos look amazing dude 😎

[@Beardbrand]

kieran nessbert All of these habits are very tough to stop doing, but with continued practice, it does get easier everyday. You have to keep at it though. Take care of your beard, and it'll take care of you. - Jack

[@allanstott6999]

3's gonna be hard. I twist a bunch of hairs on my chin a lot. Also, I love to put my head in my wifes lap watching tell while she plays with it and scratches my chin. I think I was a lap dog ina previous life.

[@andlever2004]

I literally just started pulling on my beard when he said not to XD

[@donwalutes5007]

Thank you Jack!

[@Beardbrand]

All I did was edit this video but... thank you! Carlos is the one you should really be thanking for this one! - Jack

[@irbeast69]

What’s wrong with pulling your beard or mustache or soul patch? I don’t see how it affects it at all. Oil from skin? Or what?

[@Revelation13-8]

Im guilty of doing the sides to short in ignorance.... ( and people who pull their beard, combing and straighten it all day long with their hands gets a thin beard.

[@TheMode541]

Where do I go with, beard washes, balms and all of that?

[@AJCoReTV]

Wait, should i not use scissor for the little fly-away hairs that don’t lay flat? After a wash they are everywhere... I been cutting those tips with scissor... should I stop? I just saw your other video using brio to trim? Breaking rule #1? Confused

[@jakeboss6342]

I pull at a specific area of my beard, kinda inline straight down from the corner of my mouth going to middle part of my chic on the side, wich i think is the worst place because it looks thin there and it looks like hair doesn't grow there, thankfully my wife is there to slap my hand down, or it would be completely bald in that area, But it started out as a reason as to why i started pulling at it wich is bad as well, it started out as looking and feeling for split ends, rather than trim them off i would pull it out, (I know very bad idea) but now its just a habit

[@randyellison5525]

Eric Bandholtz is the man

[@CLOSE1RocketLeague]

My uppersides are thin. Cheek line and neck thick. Chin full. Sideburns full. Moustache too. Grow out ? I dont wanna trim the big parts but it looks weird now. Growing 2months.

[@sybermatrix1609]

I do same mistakes tthank you good advice...

[@Beardbrand]

SYBERMATRIX 1 It's definitely hard to overcome these "don'ts". Even the best of us do them from time to time. The tip is to always work on getting over them though. - Jack

[@anthonyowsley8286]

I'm trying to grow a long goatee. would keeping the sides help the goatee grow, Or would the sides even matter to the goatee?

[@AttackWithStyle]

I have the same beard as Carlos , but my tache is shorter.

[@kevinlatinski826]

This guys is a fucking boss

[@liljuanito123]

What about those hairs that really hurt and have the bulb at the end when you pull them out. those are the ones that seem to fall out anyways, I'll be stroking the beard or stache and ill hit this one that hurts, i look in my 10x mirror to find it and as i go for it just falls out. I have a bad habit of pulling those even when they take some tugging. Most of the times im a winner and find these huge bulbs at the end. Is it ok to be doing that or just let em fall?

[@williamreeder2811]

Tip number 5-dont be late delivering the news paper.....nice hat.

[@shilpanduttaZenLife]

Gotta show my barber this. Already guilty of #1. And How about waxing the hair above cheek line?

[@Beardbrand]

I'd think that waxing would have the same effect as threading - which is to pull out the hairs, rather than cut it. That means it'd grow in slower and eventually kill the follicle if you did it enough times. -Eric

[@shilpanduttaZenLife]

Right. Thanks a lot, Eric.

[@sim3524]

I pluck mine out!

[@shilpanduttaZenLife]

sim that is same as threading, only more painful.

[@Dranzerk8908]

I just wish i could find a way to stop itching from hairs on neck. That is the worst part for me, i end up thinking "going to grow beard" but when i start to get it quarter inch or more start the itch is just to much and just shave.

[@ThekronicNet]

Don't be pussy and deal with the itching. It will pass eventually!

[@hemangteotia6284]

Carlos cap is looking cool. And fortunately I follow all these 3 advises already. ✌️👌👍 BEARDBRAND 👍👌✌️

[@Beardbrand]

Hemang Teotia Keep following these tips and you'll keep your beard nice and healthy! Thanks for the support! - Jack

[@shereefparnell1859]

Please tell the tips about that

[@Numbermind]

what does he say at 2:22? what does he do to his hair? freeded? what is that

[@Beardbrand]

Threading, it's typically done on eyebrows but Carlos has the individual hairs pulled out by a professional. You can see it in action here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXfMpaRjq891ecU - Jack

[@mitcheldaybreak5486]

I'd like to know more about Carlos's past life and maybe some information about past addiction and stuff. Maybe it's too personal, definetly not meaning to be disrespectful here. It's kinda different than the current content and I'm thinkin it might help some people who have been down the same road.

[@Beardbrand]

We actually did do a video that gives you a glimpse into Carlos' personal life. Carlos Costa Story & Interview | Keep on Growing kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3-raIuObJaggtE - Jack

[@mitcheldaybreak5486]

Yes, I've known about that one. Maybe a video goin more into depth would be helpful to some of us here that can relate. Just an idea though! Cheers!

[@RohanThompson1]

Nice looking beard.

[@Beardbrand]

No doubt about that! - Jack

[@VETERAN65out]

Carlos nice beard.

[@louieo9252]

I do the same thing Eric does

[@BenBadBass]

I wish I could get my mustache that thick

[@thewhitegirlslayer1]

is Carlos Costa Spanish?

[@everydaygentleman7750]

What's your opinion on tattoos? Are you limited when trying to get a job? Etc.

[@Jesko_VRS]

Everyday Gentleman If i where you i wouldn’t do it, you see i have tattoo’s, a lot of them, a full sleeve, a half sleeve on the other side, one in the back of my neck, my two upper legs are completely full, my hip, and two on my stomach, and it def limit you, some people stil won’t hire people with tattoos, it does depend on the job too, if you are a construction worker or something like that you probably wouldn’t notice troubles getting a job, but getting jobs where you have to make proffesional contacts with people would be hard. So depends on youre training and job-direction. Sorry for my bad English.

[@shereefparnell1859]

How to got a beard and mustache. Like yours

[@mikew4022]

You can not get a beard and mustache like him!

[@nemesio888]

Hi Carlos! I wonder do u dye your beard black?

[@lukegazda2395]

Damn I was pulling my beard when you started saying not to lol

[@Squirrelconga]

You'll go blind!

[@donwalutes5007]

What is Freding? Rather than shaving? Sorring I'm a newbie.

[@Beardbrand]

Oh, that’s Threading. (Carlos has a thick accent) It’s a technique that actually pulls out each individual hair. It’s not really common with beards (most people get it done on their eyebrows) but it’s a very effective way to keep the hair from showing up on your cheek lines for some time. - Jack

[@shubhangishree6936]

I still shave above my natural cheek line, coz the hair isn't dense and grows slow, so its kinda a personal preference. I do pick on my chin hairs a lot though. Also, great to see a Carlos video! Keep up the great work!

[@Beardbrand]

John Buchanan That's fine to shave up your cheek line if it's a personal preference. Just be sure not to shave it down too low or it may look a bit odd and affect the overall look of your beard. I've been guilty of that before. - Jack

[@Nesiditsya]

1-не укорачивайте по бокам2-не подбривайте постоянно эту линию3-не играйтесь постоянно с бородой+ не брейте снизу под бородой Как то так вроде ...

[@az77-mhz64]

[@thedarthflagger]

Lol he's so cute!

[@MounirAbbas]

How old was he when he started growing his beard?

[@TrulyHorrorable]

Any tips to help me, i have a terrible habit of biting at my mustache? I've pretty much stopped but I guess its a nervous habit. Any tips I want my moustache long and strong. Thank You

[@Beardbrand]

ExtraChrispee Okay, so you have a few options. If you don't feel like trimming (which honestly might be your best bet) you could always style your 'stache with some wax so that it's not constantly falling into your mouth. Keep it tuned to our channel this week though, we may have a video that will help you out coming very soon! - Jack

[@TrulyHorrorable]

Thank you very much, I'm going for the Bandholz mustache so wax it is. I will stay tuned.

[@1533ramsay]

ExtraChrispee I did same thing. My mustache was super thin in the middle from chewing on it. Finally stopped.

[@alibaba145]

LooooL i do exactly the same thing as number 3 i always pull on the beard it feels weird and i do lose lots of hair doing this but its a bad habbit

[@panacheclub810]

Sorry but I didn't understand the lady bonus tip. I think I might be doing that with my beard but I'm not totally sure on what you mean.

[@panacheclub810]

Last*

[@collectiveco.apparel4513]

Hey amigo Scars Custer for beardbrand

[@helderlomba9439]

I have very thin sides. If i let them grow big they curl and they don't seem to bulky. any suggestion?

[@Beardbrand]

Helder Lomba Good question, so you can work to "tame" your sides with continued brushing/combing. Also, with some styling balm, you can help hold down the sides. If you keep at this, you will start to see a nice change in the curls and bulk. - Jack

[@PixelGunner3D]

4:13 that's because your hair naturally grows thicker on one side.

[@iwnl_vale]

Carlos are you portuguese? Or do you have portuguese ancestry?

[@hgff69]

He's português.

[@KL-yu6om]

Hola Carlito

[@valiumflowers72]

Do a tattoo reveal video bro, show your ink off. Looks like you are a collector too :) u have some dope work.

[@Ahmednfs92]

Thanks for tips...I didn't Know shorting the sides will affect the beard in the long run, I will keep the sides long as you said ( I will try). I got curly beard and I don't know how long it will take to set the hair straight and smooth. Does anyone know how long it take and what it takes. Luv your content guys

[@Beardbrand]

Ahmed Albusaidi A lot of men take the sides of their beards for granted, actually. Make sure to take care of them with continued brushing and training. Throw a little balm on your beard for a bit of an extra straightening and you should start to see a nice difference. Hope this helps! - Jack

[@ThePerpetualStudent]

Dammit! Envy is heavy. I hate balding.

[@andreja011]

I'm 25 years old and i really have full thick beard and i keep it at 1 cm but man every time when i want to grow mustache like you i get piss off because i can't eat properly :D

[@Fresh4666]

andra992 Yup that why I shave mine lol.

[@andreja011]

Dude thats so annoying you can't eat anything you need to bite ... -.-

[@shilpanduttaZenLife]

Watch Eric's video of how to eat with beard and mustache. And for drinking, use a napkin or a paper towel.

[@andreja011]

Yea i remember that video. Ok i think im gonna trim my beard at 4 or 5 mm then ill start growing again with a full mustache that would be painful :D

[@shilpanduttaZenLife]

I used to think so, but I read somewhere its better to not trim...wolf it out. I think when it reaches a desirable length, then its better to trim in order to shape it.

[@zorinasilvera6991]

What’s your diet for a thicker beard? I have been growing my beard since July 2017 almost 3 month. The growth is good but needed some diet tips for thicker and fuller beard. Great vlogs. Keep up the good work. Cheerz

[@mrdaflyguy]
