First time growing mine out and it’s been great so far! Beard oil is a blessing and just got my first little touch up from a barber having been just over 8 weeks for myself. Right now the hardest part is hearing my mother say how much she hates beards! Stay strong gentlemen and beard on, Liam

[@helmondiaan1]

I started growing my beard 1 week after you did. My neck beard grows very fast but the hair on my cheecks will take ages! It is still sort of in the "awkward" fase.. but it isn't stopping me, still going strong here!

I'm 36 and have a natural balbo. My cheek hair just won't grow. It looks like I groom the growth, but I don't. lol

[@olivertjalve4868]

I'm not actually growing a yeard, but I am trying to grow longer. I did some rough mental math, and figured I had about two months worth of growth, so I jumped here in the playlist. Honestly so encouraging to see how similar this looks to mine, and I'm excited to keep going!

Great tips, Jack! For me beard oil, balm and a brush are absolutely key! It makes such a difference!

Thanks for the video!! Almost 5 months into my beard, longest Ive ever let it go and it went from literally shave it off comments to nothing but compliments on how it looks on me. Patience is the key for sure and not letting the awkward phase or others get in the way of the growth!

[@mobiustrip1400]

Most I've ever grown is 3 months, and for some reason, I wasn't happy so I shaved it off. When I saw those tufts falling on the floor, I just knew I had made a mistake. This time, I'm not shaving until they put me in a box

[@JetConvoy]

Jack you’re an awesome addition to this channel, I’m thoroughly enjoying these videos and going through it with you as I’m trying to regrow my beard out after I trimmed it down to a stubble because I messed it up.

[@Rikenglebert7558]

Good advice:-) Since I don’t see the “process” in others my mind assumes other guys wake up with a long, full, and awesome beard. And I notice all the crazy hairs and thin areas in my own beard. Thanks for the encouragement and perspective!

[@Beardbrand]

Absolutely! Beards don't just sprout up overnight, this is probably the healthiest my beard has ever looked. This series is making me be extra careful about how I take care of my hair. - Jack

[@tonyamato2166]

It's good to hear everything you talked about. I've tried growing a beard a couple of times, but gave up because I got impatient and judged the way it looked too much. I'm giving it a try again and am about 3 weeks in now.

[@ryangatien6615]

You're absolutely right Jack. Beard balm is a lifesaver. I learned the hard way of not using it. My only bad habit is that I keep touching my beard and playing with it way too much.

[@Salamattder]

I am at 9 weeks today. People are asking me if I have trimmed, or when I am going to trim, and I keep telling them, I don’t know, I am letting it grow out until I feel it is ready. I don’t like that others want to tell me it is ready for shaping or it is long enough. This is the first time I am growing it out, I am mid aged and figuring it out. Mine seems to be a bit more curly, so the length does not show as well as if it was straight.

[@polyroguegames5820]

Thank you for these! They've kind of been a guide into my first foray into growing a beard. Approaching 20 soon, and as a big guy slimming down it really helps add some definition to my face. Didn't expect to make it to 2 months, but it's finally looking like some kind of beard :) here's to another two!

[@Beardbrand]

Happy to help! - Jack

[@HerohammerStudios]

How did the weightloss go?

[@thomasmatthews80]

Awesome video series. First time ever moving beyond the awkward phase and going for it and love watching this. Great stuff

[@seybertooth9282]

Among all the encouragements to keep going, here's the question nobody wants to answer: at what point do you just accept that you don't have the genetics and give up? I mean there has to be a point, if you're not happy after a year? Two years? There must be a point where the right thing to do is just to shave.

[@britpoppansy]

We are beard twins, dude. I have the same texture/curl thing and a very weak mustache that pisses me off to no end. I'm at around week 8ish right now. Trying to leave my stache alone so I can see what it does. The temptation to just sheer the damn thing down is so strong.

[@Tbot2020]

You are so awesome Jack. I love you guys!!!

[@daddyraksa2228]

I started growing my beard when I got into university It's my 2nd year and this year I started going to a barber. Now my beard is not the basic however it wants to grow type of beard but it has shape now and as the barber recommended I left the mustache and it was a great decision! I still have some smaller patches in the beard that needs time but it doesn't look bad at all!

[@IBfreshTV]

Another great video! Hitting around the 1 month mark, and happy with my progress. Slightly out of the awkward phase now.

[@resurrectionx5952]

The only way I enjoy growing my beard with patience is by documenting it and recording it for a one year time-lapse.. Really. Does motivate!

[@petesantana7302]

I’m 8 weeks in, my density not as yours I am in progress with density like yours in the week 6. Not fully dense as you are with 8 weeks progress. I maybe will be in 4 weeks more to get to you fantastic achievement. Let’s wait one more month and see what happens if density increases Thank you for your patience with us

Like watching your videos because your hair grows similar to mine, we just have a very different shape. Great info!

[@ibwafy1]

Hahaha 3 is to cliche😂 Awesome beard for only 2 month growth. Keep up the good work Jack!!

[@Beardbrand]

Glad you liked my little lame joke, ha! Thanks for watching! - Jack

[@Krunch7zero]

Also itchiness comes from a shave, once your beard gets long enough to begin curling in towards the skin a bit the shaven hairs are sharp/ tapered and stab at your face creating irritation- itch - burn. Let your beard grow out enough to be able to take an electric trimmer to it, the trimmer will put a flat cut tip on the hairs,,, no more prickly burning itch to worry of 👍

[@officiallyazzam]

you kidding me !!! you look so much better with a beard! I want to grow it but I don't wanna commit yet

[@oliverwebb762]

I'm 6 week away from my YEARD!!!! It is no where near as Glorious as yours is but I plan on continuing!!!

[@Beardbrand]

Right on man! SO close to the finish line! - Jack

[@Brandon_N420]

I came back to this video to see how my 8 week beard compares to yours (just hit 8 weeks today) & I am very surprised at how similar my beard is to yours at this point. I even think that my 8 week beard is slightly fuller than yours, I never thought that our beards were so similar. Honestly, it just gives me more confidence in my beard because I know that if I grow a 6 month beard like you have currently that it'll look very close to the way yours does.

[@Beardbrand]

First of all, congrats on reaching week 8! It sounds like we have very similar growth patterns! - Jack

[@Daveewolf]

Thanks for the video Jack your beard is looking great

[@trentwilliams2926]

+A Just Cause For sure! I look back on that first video I made and cringe a little. Filming in the Beardbrand studio was a little surreal at first but now it's become like a second home. - Jack

[@kenoliver2782]

Thanks for these tips and encouragement in this and really all of your videos. I've just recently found and started following Beardbrand. I've enjoyed all of the content so much. I too have only ever had stubble or a very short beard. I've never let it grow to any length or fullness at all. Right now I'm planning on letting it grow for awhile to really see what it can do. I know I can always shave it or trim it if I want to but I'm looking forward to trying something I have not done before. Again, thanks to you and all the other guys for not only the great information but the way you present it.

[@robertrusovan1839]

Good progress so far. Once you start getting length it will begin looking a lot better. I know for me one of the hardest things was letting that neck beard grow in and also learning when and where to trim. Enjoying these videos. Keep it up!

[@Beardbrand]

Thanks for watching, man! I definitely agree! - Jack

[@kevinparker9848]

the beard looks really good. cant wait to see it in a couple months. Been growing mine for several months, not as thick as yours but it looks good for a gray/white beard, maybe 3 inches in lenght and would be longer if i wouldn't have got scissor happy. come January 1st not trimming for 1 whole year, wish me luck.

[@davidcassens2426]

Very good video, yes keep them coming! Good advice.

[@jonathanpicardi8403]

I’ve just started growing a beard and almost one month in,what’s your take on just trimming the tash only to stop hair growing below the top lip?

I also have pretty weak moustache and quite dense beard just like you. Enjoy every video of beardbrand. Beard on 🙌

[@Beardbrand]

Thanks for watching! Appreciate the kind words! - Jack

[@bullionstacking]

What has worked for me to prevent itchiness is head and shoulders shampoo, rub it into your beard when you shower and you won’t need any oils!

[@MrIcecolddd]

It’s coming along nicely Jack, you’ve got the density on lock! I personally think you look better with a beard, you’ll easily be able to pull off a long beard. All the best and Merry Christmas to you and yours!

[@Beardbrand]

+ WallStreetBlues Thanks, man! Tell that to my family, haha! Merry Christmas as well! - Jack

Great video man :) been growing mine now since start of November and it is growing nicely I have had a few comments from people both good and bad but I’m happy I’m still in the awkward stage and have been thinking about shaving but after watching this video I have the motivation to keep growing thank you

[@ferfhartle1660]

For how thick your neck hair is your gonna get some great lengths in the up coming months man. Keep on taming! Beard on!

[@yarekim5932]

Looking good Jack . Merry Christmas ! Enjoying the Yeard Journey Vids . MFYI - There is a period of time while growing the Stache that it starts bugging the crap out of you and maximum patience is needed : as the stache starts over your lip it will go into your mouth ,and you'll even bite the whiskers . Until it gets past the mouth it will drive you insane . Once it gets over the bottom lip you're in the clear . New eating techniques are needed . mustache wax is your friend . I need to get some utility balm and see how well it works . Jeff said good bye to the epic stache and trims to the edge of his mouth .

[@Dx916x]

This is the perfect time!

[@rhysowen5595]

Hey Jack awesome beard. It is looking good for 2 months. I started my yeard a few days before November and I hope to let my beard grow till November of 2018 and maybe a bit longer. I don't have the strongest beard but maybe time can help me with that. Have a good day Jack!

[@christophershreiner5114]

I started growing it out once in the late fall and once in late spring. Growing it in the summer is much, much easier. No itch for me in the summer.

[@Beardbrand]

I think 3 months is a good time to really get a good trim for shaping. - Jack

[@kappakumplete]

I’ve never gone more than 2 weeks without shaving but it’s go time! I’m a week and a half in now and looking pretty scrappy but I’m going to hang in there.

[@Mr.M1STER]

You definitely look better with a full beard. I think your beard is just fine. Yes you may have a slightly weak mustache but that adds character and the shape is actually fine.

[@arocapatterson]

Doing this but with my mustache! I’m on the awkward phase of having the middle part not really filling in but it’s slowly growing

[@impomars]

I'm at about 2 & a half months & oh my god patience really is key, I have a hard time filling in the left & right side of my chin similar so its always very easy for me to trim down but I'm finally starting to see more coverage in that area, it just took forever. I realized its also with age.. I was 15 when i first grew my beard, but that area was completely bald & my mustache wouldn't connect. Now I'm 21 & the mustache is connected & the bald parts on my chin are finally filling in.

[@Rabid_Tardigrade]

I also have a weak mustache. Like it's still super light hairs, but they grow pretty long and eventually start kinda filling in. Which they were darker and the overall density was better. At your color matches!

[@controversialchristian2378]

I always trim way too early...At one month, my beard is quite wispy, at four months it is really long, thick and full.

[@nffcbadger9116]

I know you have insecurities about your beard but you have incredible density.

Great video. 👍🏻 I agree about the itching phase, but over the years it never seems to bother me anymore. It appears that I got used to it. But beard oil does soothe the problem tho' especially during a dry weather time of the year like Winter.

[@Beardbrand]

Thanks for watching! And definitely, beard oil is a essential during the dryness of winter. Coming from south Florida to Texas, the winter here has been rough on my beard on the days I forget to put in some oil or balm. - Jack
