How to Grow an Epic Mustache

[@ironhead23]

I've been trimming my moustache every few weeks and not sure if I could really pull off an epic moustache, but after checking out your videos it gave me a boost of confidence to try! Just ordered wildwood beard oil, beard pocket comb, moustache wax, and moustache comb! Epic beard sir! Thanks for the videos

[@thebeardbaron]

Hey Chris, thanks for your order! I look forward to you getting it! Best of luck on your epic mustache!

[@felagund23]

Love the outdoor chair.

[@frehykuhjik.fdsdsefydesxmh1956]

I've been trying to grow my mustache for 6 minutes and 42 seconds and it still hasn't worked

[@NameRequiredSoHere]

You're expecting too much, too soon. I found that I really turned a corner at the 7 minute mark. I suggest you start again and exercise a bit more patience.

[@felani1647]

You'll need a toothpick and a small piece of tape for your mustache. You'll should also try to get one of those old style pocket watches on a chain, since those look great with your future mustache. Just open up your watch glass, wedge the toothpick just under the minute hand, and tape it down for about 5 months and 2 days. Try not to forget or you'll have mustache all over the place.

[@garybrice7689]

It takes at least a Half an hour. Your patience will be rewarded.

[@MrMetuber1]

Got an epic mustache similar to yours. I keep my beard length at about an inch and a half to two inches so it really stands out. You're right about it driving you nuts until it's tamed and under control. I've had mine for about 6 months now and will never go back to short. Love the look, feel, challenge, all of it. It gets a lot of good responses from folks too. Love the channel, keep up the good work for all us beard growers and mustache men out here in cyber land.

[@thebeardbaron]

MrMetuber1 Once you go for an epic mustache there's no going back :) Thanks for watching and enjoy your mustache!

[@billy_bonka2140]

I love how you don't have any splices in your vids. Just straight talk from start to finish. No editing needed. Keep up the great work man

[@JacobDH87]

John is not kidding about the mustache wax and how it works to manage a larger mustache. I am not at the point of the epic stache yet (6 months of growth or so, but I trimmed a couple of times before I decided to go big). I just recently purchased the wildwood wax from the Beard Baron and its making things much more tolerable for me. One of my favorite responses to a gentleman being questioned condescendingly about why he is growing a large beard was simply "Beard equals man." I think about that comment often when looking for the strength to push forward.

[@Gl0ckb0y]

Pinetop here (from FB). Thanks for the new video! Apparently I'm growing an Epic Mustache and I had been refering to it as a handlebar. Thanks for clearing that up. Epic sounds much better. Anyways thanks for the tips! I've been trimming it up on my upper lip like you stated because it was driving me a bit crazy. But actually I had just started letting it grow out. It's starting to do it's thing, so off we go. I'm about at my 4 month mark and loving it! I love that it's starting to get peoples attention. Thanks again John!

[@thebeardbaron]

Hey Pinetop, it's a common thing to call it a handlebar but it's really only a technicality that you'd run into in the competition circuit. It's great though as you're realizing the bigger it gets the better!

[@JonathanGrandt]

Best Beard/Moustache advice ever. The first time I grew out an epic (8month) moustache, I got a lot of negative comment and a lot of positive comments. The positives were very encouraging, "NICE BEARD!" etc, and the negatives weren't all that original and ranged from "you auditioning for Duck Dynasty?" to my sister laughing out loud while we were having a semi-serious conversation, "I CANT EVEN WATCH YOU WHEN YOU TALK!!!" Presently, the job I have requires that my moustache not be "epic" and so I trim it to slightly less than epic status. First time I grew one out it drove me crazy... Next time I grew it out I barely noticed. Gonna need to see a video on "How To Make-Out Whilst Having An Epic Mustache". :)

[@thebeardbaron]

Jonathan Grandt The first epic mustache is always tough but like you said the second time around you hardly notice. I'm at the point where I forget that I even have a mustache!

[@creatine64]

I'm working on growing my beard right now. first time ever in my 37yrs on this planet. its been about 2 months and so far so good on my cheeks and chin but boy you aren't kidding about the mustache growing at much different rate, mine is super slow. I also have two slight bald spots on each sides of my lips so I have to wait for my mustache to get longer to actually connect to the rest of the beard... the other thing is my hair is a light color so from a distance my mustache looks very thin but up close you can see a lot of hair, I'm just now getting to the point that the hair is breaking over the top part of my lip. maybe one day I'll have a nice beard like yours! thanks for all the tips. I sent you a photo of what I'm working with by the way

[@thebeardbaron]

Time and patience are the 2 big ingredients as you are currently discovering. It's completely worth it and congrats on your first beard! Enjoy it!

[@TIMG128]

Great advice again,thanks beard baron. One month in to growing my 'tache and you're right...I am already getting loads of comments,mainly positive,a few negative...a few just plain odd. My wife is coming round to the idea I think and as I said to her, "judge it when it is finished....I don't judge your hair cuts/dying/styling half way through....I comment when it's finished...so please do me the same courtesy!! Thanks again,Tim

[@thebeardbaron]

tim garner Good approach Tim! And you've got the wisdom right as a mustache should never be judged while growing out. Great to hear your wife is on board, that's half the battle!

[@MarkHumphreysChannel]

Your beard inspires me to grow my mustache out, and to get past that awkward phase of it coming in contact with the mouth. Keep it up!!

[@thebeardbaron]

MarksBucket Best of luck with your mustache Mark!

[@geebergeistify]

Thanks for the inspiration!!! Im new to your channel and growing my beard/mustache. Im about a month and a half in growing facial hair and I get comments that I look old or whatever. I will definitely keep your words of encouragement in mind! keep up the good work, and nice beard, man!

[@thebeardbaron]

geebergeistify Glad you found some inspiration! Best of luck with your beard!

[@CherryFlavoredClorox]

The "it makes you look old(er)" comments aggravate me. Don't hear them often but when I do my go to response is "well if you don't like it, don't look at it" seems to shut everyone up pretty fast. May have a lil to do with im 6 ft tall 220 pounds and covered with tattoos lol

[@kel5944]

I had a lot of trouble growing my stache initially. What really helped me was when I finally trained most of it to grow to the sides. I don't like the feeling of wax, but oil and balm helps to train it.

[@ryanleslie2766]

great vids, I'm pumped to be able to start growing my facial hair back as I no longer have to head out to work sites with H2S gas (have to be clean shaven so your respirator seals on your face in case of a gas leak). The mustache has always been the most irritating part. I'm 2 months into growing and appreciate the info and inspiration to power through and practice "when in doubt grow it out".

[@thebeardbaron]

Ryan Leslie Glad you're enjoying everything Ryan and the fact that you get to grow it out!

[@vikingstorm32]

The best part about my beard and mustache is, it makes you think about eating the proper type of food. I noticed the more man made the food is, the more it gets in the mustache. It's almost like a learning tool for your brain to detect what food is healthy. I eat mostly a carnivore diet and I reolize that animal fats dont make my face itch, but plant oils make my face itch. I can eat a steak and have fat all over my hands after rinsing my plate, and I actually use that oil to spread into my beard 😅. I know the people in older times use to make lye soap which had animal fats in it.

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

I have an epic moustache and I think that you never get 100% used to the hairs around and in your mouth. But it does get better. Only last night when I was flossing, one hair got tangled with the dental floss and ended up getting stuck between my teeth. I got it out unharmed, but that was a first! If you want something like this, you can say goodbye to drinking from a glass or a cup, stock up on straws! I actually carry one around with me just in case. And eating some foods like ice cream, chips and dip, or any other messy foods is definitely a challenge. So stock up on napkins too! As soon as I'm done eating, whether at home or a restaurant, it's off to the rest room to wash up and dry.

[@Synthwave89]

Great advice Baron. First time growing one and it's pretty hard, but it's getting better and better. There is coverage where there was none, specifically close to the nostrils it's starting to get coverage. Will probably take a year total to get a mustache like yours, it's been 5 months now.

[@darkzerk7]

A lot of people can grow a decent beard within 1-2 months, but a decent mustache could take 6 to 12 months. So even though progress is of course individual and varies with each person, mustaches really does appear to grow much slower on average than beards.

[@the6473]

This is not my first time growing a handlebar mustache (my beard doesn't connect and is pretty thin so i shave it) the only tip i have ever gotten before was from the internet and it said to not trim my mustache. this is my third time growing a dedicated handlebar and i can see how this is the most important thing. but having a knowledgeable bearded man encouraging me to keep going really helps. I've only had it for 2 months but I'm already getting lots of compliments on it because i wax it and comb it. thank you for your encouragement it really helps cuz i know the very itchy period is coming.... and I've set my goal for christmas this year!

[@ChomboMambo]

Yes! Please make a video about dealing with the mustache and eating. I've decided to let my mustache grow out and the worst part is eating or just feeling like I have hair in my mouth. Sometimes I actually do get hair in my mouth lol.

[@welshbeef3]

I remember deciding to grow out the tash.. Best decision I ever did, couldnt imagine going back to a short tash now!

[@thebeardbaron]

Same here Gareth, once I did it I never looked back!

[@welshbeef3]

It completes the look, a badass tash just compliments a great beard!

[@Fencerstykes]

bro you reached down and touched my soul, I'm in the phase where it's starting to hit my lip and it's awkward as fuck. thanks for the motivation gonna keep the beard going strong.

[@ZachTangen]

I started using beard oil after watching your video on beard oil. Had I had this in high school, I would probably have stopped shaving at that point in my life. This stuff is amazing. And know with a better understanding of mustache wax, I can't thank you enough for making these videos. Also, it looks like you got a new layout on the website. Looks really nice.

[@curtpopejoy9884]

Great video. I've been growing mine for 5 months, but the struggle I have is that there is no real line between the outside edges of my mustache and my beard. Makes styling it a challenge. Considered lowering my beard line a little to make the mustache more distinct, because it's sort of a mess right now.

[@jeffysoule2076]

This is a great channel. I'm about 5 weeks into my first dedicated attempt at growing a beard. Lots of great tips, and inspiration here! Thanks man! 👊

[@SailorBarsoom]

The main thing I took from this is that in order to avoid chewing on my 'stache I need to use wax, not steel. When that clicked into place, a whole lot about why I don't quite have the mustache I want clicked into place right behind it. So thanks!

[@yomomma7205]

Bro I always rock a beard and growing mine out again. My mustache grows a lot and I have never let it grow to it’s potential and it’s not stopping lol. My mouth will soon be covered in a couple months. Your beard bro is awesome and I’m glad I came across your channel. Great beard bro👍🏿

[@thebeardbaron]

Thank you! I appreciate you watching and your support! :)

[@zulu2132]

I love how you are in a different place every time I watch a video. Also great tips, some I learned over the years with just a nice tight beard but these videos have helped with my failed attempts at a large beard. Thanks.

[@thebeardbaron]

zulu2132 Thanks for watching and finding the info useful!

[@wearegoingtocatalina]

Another great upload.The advice about not trimming as it reaches the top lip has just come in time.

[@thebeardbaron]

That stage of the game is probably the hardest one to get by as the impulse to trim is at an all time high.

[@BruceJC75]

Four months into my first yeard and I'm finally starting to love the stache! Definitely gotta comb it and wax it, but it's really looking good! Thanks for all the great vids!

[@tckirkman]

Working to grow my first epic mustache. I am 3 months in. Eating and drinking is starting to get difficult. Could you do a video on eating/drinking and etc. with a epic mustache soon? Thank you for the KZbin channel and products!

[@caseymartin108]

I recently started growing a mustache about three months ago. I have a little bit of a natural curl. In that time, I did trim the hairs at my lip line cause I hated the way it felt and it made eating and drinking a new chore. After watching this, however, I feel like I ought to just let it happen as irritating as it might be at first. I already have a long goatee but I am letting the rest of my beard catch up. I am excited to get your wax and recommended combs in the mail so it will make growing easier. I think the one thing that I don't like the most about my mustache is the hairs that are growing between my beard and mustache at the corners of my mouth because they ARE mustache hairs but they are sort of rogue right now on their own waiting for the actual mustache to catch up. I'm tempted to but them but in the meantime, I recently (before being recommended to your videos and website) came across some decent pomade that I use just on the ends and a bit throughout just to help get those hairs out of my mouth haha.

[@jimmysjamin1]

So cool I've been wanting for years to grow a handle bar mustache but I never had the patients after the 1st bad trim I'd give up going to finally see this through so glad I found you thanks.

[@genoguerra2961]

I'm about 6.5 months into my mustache, with very minor trimming. I've noticed the center of your mustache goes pretty much straight down, and isn't swept to the sides, even at the ends of the follicles. Do you trim the middle portion to maintain this "straight" look, and then sweep everything else to the sides? Great videos by the way, they have helped immensely.

[@znailzzz]

Love your videos, it really shows that you are invested in the world of the beardz and are eager to share your experience! I'm on my 3rd month of my first try to grow and have only got positive feedback which feels great.

[@thebeardbaron]

Great to have you aboard and that you're already enjoying your beard!

[@pauliewalnutzz]

Absolutely perfect video on describing everything and what you're going to experience. I'm 10+ months into my beard and mustache, only thing is, I hate the feeling of wax in it. I tried using some other things like water based pomades, but I just don't like anything in there haha

[@xjasonmgx85]

Always look forward to your videos. I'm now at 9 months of beard growth, and I've been letting the stache go for about 5. It did drive me absolutely insane!!! Now that it's getting longer it's a little more manageable. The growing out part took a lot of patience for sure. I have a super wavy beard and stache. I tried the wax just like you did on your previous video, but mine didn't come out that great. I still use your combing technique for the stache though, and I put some oil in it, and it looks fine. It'd be cool if we had a place where we could upload pictures of our progress. I've been watching you since your first video, and you'd be so proud of how far I've come. Thanks for all that you've done for us new beard growers.

[@thebeardbaron]

Hey Jason, great to hear you're taking your beard to a whole new level! I agree, the first time really growing out the mustache is brutal. As time goes on it gets easier and you become more accustomed to it. I forget what it's like to not have a mustache this big!

[@xjasonmgx85]

The Beard Baron Just uploaded a profile pic.. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@thebeardbaron]

Looking great Jason! Keep it going!

[@bozackut]

Just got my Wildwood mustache wax today! Already love it, really helps tame those hairs and keep them in place. Love the smell of the Wildwood too!

[@thebeardbaron]

Great to hear you're already enjoying the Wildwood Zack!

[@JeffGloverArts]

Great stuff! Thanks for for all the guidance. I've got heavy chin whiskers and a fairly decent mustache (just below the top lip and about 2" out from the corners of my mouth) but zip on the sides so any advice on promoting beard growth is appreciated.

[@ginzingtonschnizer2330]

So I've recently stumbled upon your channel here. Really enjoying the content and I just want to ask you a question about the curling of a mustache. When is the best time to start adding in the curl? would it be once you start applying mustache wax to manage and train the epic mustache or would it be later after the mustache has started to fill in properly? I noticed you've said your mustache isn't grown to have a curl and I'm just curious what the difference is in growing an epic mustache like yours and one that curls. If I missed this in one of your other videos I'm sorry for asking an already explained answer.

[@HirsuteForHappiness]

hey man this is very good to see that someone else has the same ideas as me. I am a year no trim and its the only way to achieve a decent moustache. I have a plan to get my own video on the same theme, plus lots others of course

[@207manick4]

Just wanted to say you have an AMAZING beard!! There's a lot of people out there that don't appreciate a good beard and an epic mustache... Just wanted to say thanks for all your videos and for the confidence boost because there's too much negativity about beards out there.. Been growing my now for about three months still got a ways to go but looking good it's coming together:) thanks again man and I really mean that from my soul brother!!

[@lovkraft]

You are really touching on a sensitive topic for me: to let the stache grow over your mouth or not. So far I have trimmed the part of my mustache under my nose, but let the rest of the whiskers grow out to the side. The feeling of the hairs growing into my mouth is too agonizing. But perhaps with your mustache wax (which should be arriving soon) I power through until it's long enough. In any case, thanks!

[@thebeardbaron]

Hey Jens, it's definitely tricky but I found my first time through that I got used to the hairs about 4-6 weeks in. I'm still aware of them but they just bother me that much like they used to!

[@MCcheck97]

Hi, good channel and kudos on the awesome beard and mustache! Im 3 weeks into my first grow, got a long way to go but your vids have helped immensely. With regards to wax, is there a particular length/time when should you start using it?

[@pennehoesje]

I guess just start using it when you feel like your hairs start to become a bit unruly. The best thing is to just try it out and see if you like it.

[@thebeardbaron]

Penne said it right. When your hairs start to become unruly, looking a bit messy, and start irritating are all good time to start using mustache wax.

[@EVH5150iii]

Thank you for this awesome video. I'm on my stache journey now. Rounding 4months along with the beard

[@AVAtticus182]

YOU CANT ESCAPE THE EPIC MUSTACHE! haha. do a how to eat with a beard/mustache next!

[@syaoranoji]

I also started to grow my stache later on after growing the rest of the beard. I have the long sides, but the area above my lips I ended up breaking down and trimming it a month ago. I'm giving it another go, this time with some of your wax. I can't wait for your video on eating with that epic stache. I'm in def need of tips for that. The current girl that I'm into LOVES my beard... (+100 pts right there), but I'm not sure her reaction when I grow that epic stache haha. Wish me luck.

[@thebeardbaron]

Well you definitely have the right idea! Just sticking to your guns and not trimming the middle part is the key. Having a supportive girlfriend really helps as well! Best of luck!

[@18da18]

Sir, you are the baron indeed! A lot of good advice, I've shaved recently, so looking forward to trying out your method and seeing the results in half a year :D

[@talcohen9602]

really love the chair out in the middle of nowhere. been growing the beard and mustache for a little over 2 months now and i love all your videos!

[@roberthurtado9784]

dear beard baron, im mexican american my genetics kinda gave me a cantinflas mustache, i have a hard time growing out the middle i love and envy the way a lot of other beards look with the full bulk of hair directly underneath their nose; mine just kinda splits there a good half inch of thin hair area but the outer ends are growing fast my hairs are kinda coarse so idk what brand of mustache wax to go with to kinda tame those long thick whiskers with but thanks for the inspiration i will not trim till im satisfied.

[@isaiah92]

[@johnnymontalvo5620]

Great video! What do you suggest for a guy like me? My mustache grows in the middle area and the ends just fine, but there is a gap-space on each side. My mustache looks like hair, space, hair, hair, space, hair. Thanks!!

[@thebeardbaron]

[@liljuanito123]

You're welcome! What brand is it? Wool felt or rabbit fur?

[@stevevandervorst6641]

The Beard Baron do you trim away the hair between your moustache and beard? my beard start pretty low on my cheecks so now i have e small line of hair next to my lips (like a ring beard) and those hair go wild when i wax my stache i was thinking of triming the hairs on the side of my lips to seperate the stache and beard what do you think?

[@jsherpa25]

The Beard Baron I'm currently 16.5 years old and I found your video very inspirational. What age do you think it would be an appropriate time to start growing an epic mustache?

[@halfstep67]

Sometimes I comb my mustache straight down so it blends in with my beard. It makes my mouth disappear and people give me strange looks.

[@Reefphreak]

Thanks for making your videos! I'm a first time beard grower here. Lol. I've been shaving since my facial hair started growing. I have been shave free since the beginning of July and it's really tough to not shave it or trim it. You've got my sub!

[@PrecursorLegend]

I'm 22 so my beard hasn't filled in completely yet (especially between my lips and my chin, and I have no connectors whatsoever) but my mustache is fierce. It's practically begging to grow out into an "epic stache." Would it be unwise to stop trimming it since my beard isn't full yet? I fear that it might look kind of awkward.

[@EsqChrio]

Great video....learned some things I never knew about growing a mustache. Thanks.

[@ricebrnr22]

i've never had any comments on my moustache nor have i had any negative comments on my facial hair. I think part of that may be the fact i'm 6'4" and 240lbs. I think one of the important things about having a large beard/moustache is wearing it proudly no matter the length/style.

[@thebeardbaron]

Confidence is certainly key, but a 6'4" frame helps as well :)

[@bambamty]

When would you say is a good time to start using wax? My 'beard' is aroun 5 weeks old now. My strongest asset is by far my moustache, closesly followed by my under neck and along the jaw line. My moustache is a little wild atm, i currently use an all natural styling product to help tame the strays out to the side, and a little bit of 'dax' on the very end to get a bit of a point as it seems a shame not to take advantage of the tache as my facial hair currently stands! Thanks!!

[@Natehendrick81]

I don't blame you for being heavy handed. I just got some citrus bay and it's quite delightful.

[@thebeardbaron]

Yea I can't get enough of this stuff!

[@MaybeMaxwell]

Saw the outdoor chair and instantly liked

[@TheRacso2552]

What kind of moustasch would you recommend for me? I'm a blonde, short hair guy.

[@thebeardbaron]

Depends on how strong of growth you have and if the mustache is blonde which can make it look a bit thin if you don't have a ton of hair for it.

[@siddhant2000]

Hey man! Great video. It motivated me to grow out my mustache and see how it goes. However, I do have one concern. Whenever i wash my face or apply beard oil on my stache, 1 or 2 hairs seem to come out while doing that and that concerns me majorly. It doesnt happen everyday or every single time but it does happen. Is that normal?

[@dhstrongestboy9314]

Hi Beard Baron! First time writer. I am a big fan. Thanks for the great information. I am wondering if you deliver to China? As I just recently moved here and am growing out my beard for the first time in a decade. Thanks.

[@Tsiribreezes]

If I have some hair in my lips, kind of like a mustache, but not yet a full mustache what should I do ? Shave it or let it grow ? I'm 21 and my beard always grows faster than my mustache... I also have the patchy style of beard but anyway, I just want my mustache to grow a little more so it can match the darkness of my beard.

[@faisalbarak4065]

Me too I have this problem

[@1533ramsay]

Please make more vids! I follow beard KZbin's, but yours are the best. I loved the party on you did this year.

[@kylekeagan4299]

Hello The Beard Baron I really enjoy your videos I am into the first week of growing my mustache and I was wondering do the hairs on your upper lip all grow at a different pace? because I have some hairs at the right end of my upper lip but at the left end of my upper lip I have slim to none any advice?

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

I started mine ('stache only) Dec 1 2014, but it's been trimed a few times by a barber for shaping and evening. Yes, eating certain things, like tacos, pizza, or anything that is normally messy, is even worse. Definitely have to drink with a straw, there's no other way. Epic mustache, I like that description! At one time they were cosidered a normal fashion item, but rare today. I do get comments on it, good and bad. Unfortunately mine is grey now : ( but I can't do amything about that. I guess we're lucky enough to be able to even grow an "Epic" mustache, not every man can. I love looking at pictures from the 19th, early 20th centuries when they were common. Some really great moustaches back then! Oh yeah, the derby looks great on you. Right out of the 19th century! I read a newspaper article about Wyatt Earp from the late 1880s in Colorado where the female reporter talks about his tall, athletic physique and "great droopy moustache." Now THAT is Epic! My wife doesn't understand. I don't have a bowler, but I do wear a cowboy hat (replica of Sam Elliott's in Conagher). And living in nyc I do get some looks, but a lot of compliments too.

[@Nosferatu35]

When would be the best time to start using moustache wax ? I'm in my second month of growth (stache and beard) and some hairs of my stache are growing in all directions :-)

[@GonzalesYoda]

Thank you for the advice, I've been getting some negative comments but you've encouraged me to ignore them and keep growing! Thank you Sir for all you do!

[@alencode]

Baron, I have a big question, how I must to comb my moustache if I wanna a walrus ? My middle hair tend to grow from outside in. Do I must comb it to the ouside and when it grows and cover the upper lip to the bottom? Thank you!

[@chirvisuals]

Hello sir. I have a good beard growth but it's not same with my moustache. It's patchy and thin. But I can see some thin hairs coming underneath my nose. Will my moustache will grow better in future ? Currently I am 19 years old.

[@TheOrangeExperiment]

When I look at your facial hair the word that comes to mind is LUSH haha, I'm jealous

[@AvatarofWoe19]

I understand that growing beards and facial hair is in genetics, but my father can grow a beard and I can't. I'm 21 and I've only been growing my sideburns into my "beard" for about 2 or 3 months but my brother, 19, has been growing for over a year and has just a whole lot of wispy hairs. Is it possible that my wisps will turn into a beard? But I have been growing a cool little mustache for a few months, but my question is, IF I CAN'T GROW A BEARD, IS IT POSSIBLE TO GROW AN EPIC MUSTACHE? Thanks for any advice!

[@taxiwardance7242]

great vid. im almost four months into not touching my moustache and its getting really big. tried last year trimmed a lot an failed. key is definitely to just let it rock.

[@snowbawliousJoe]

I've been growing my beard for about 5 months now, the actual beard is getting pretty thick but my mustache grows very slow and is very thin, I'm pretty sure its actually stopped growing at the moment. Is there anything you recommend to do to get it thicker or stimulate growth

[@olavolavson5302]

Growing a beard for many years and reached a very decent full beard level that reaches the sternum. It wasn't easy. There are stages to it where it looks weird and just doesn't want to comply. But it is so worth powering through. Something I only recently added, is to stop trimming the mustache. And damn is that hard. Chin and burns(?), no problem, but the mustache is not only in your way all the time, it also is the one bit that can generate some funny looks while it is growing to length. My personal goal is to be able to comb all the hair to each side. After about a year, still far from it. Anyway, just wanted to say: The mustache piece in growing a beard is the hardest bit. Stay focused. And if you are, I am sharing your pain.

So is a slow growth normal? I have been growing my beard for around 27 days and I look like I won’t have an epic one like yourself, at the moment it’s thin and pathetic the sides are long enough to touch the inner side of my lips but it doesn’t seem to be growing at all

[@barrettinskip6137]

Your videos are a good source of info Mr baron. I'm about 5 months in to my first beard and tashe and I have a question. Should I go to a proper barber for my first trim or do it myself as my beard is getting abit wild.

[@thebeardbaron]

Barrett Inskip I always encourage men to trim their own beard. There are good barbers out there but it can be a real gamble. I get a lot of emails of men getting the beards butchered at the barber shop. The sooner you master trimming your beard the better of you are.

is blue majic coconut oil ok to use to grow a mustache i apply it on with a small brush daily to moisturize it and keep it shiny

Hello Mr. Beard Baron, I am growing an epic mustache. One complaint I have is I tend to sweat quite a bit on my upper lip and find myself constantly wiping my stache to keep it dry. This really only happens when I'm getting a little warm. Any suggestions on how to stop this or get through this? Thanks!

[@VirtuetheOG]

Lol I love the random recliner in the woods by a pond XD

Hey, love your videos. You've inspired me to grow a beard. Problem is, I'm a young guy (just 19) and it's not completely filled in. I've got the mustache covered, my chin, jawline, and sideburns. My mustache doesn't connect to my chin though, and my cheeks are patchy and don't go all the way up. I know I have to wait for it to fill in for a few years, but I was wondering if you could recommend any styles that would be good to use until then, maybe? ^^ Should I just try for the mustache or..? What did you do when you were younger?

[@TheOverdoseKid]

How do you train your moustache to "curl" into a handlebar and I only want the stache so do I shave the rest of my facial hair while growing it out? If so at what point do I stop shaving going towards my stache?

[@J.migvel]

Super helpful vid. How long would it generally take to pass the bottom lip? Been growing mine for 5 months but still not there yet.

[@thebeardbaron]

+J.miguel It can be different for everyone. Only time will tell. I think I was around 6 months.

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

Hair generally grows about 1/4 inch a month. Mine grows a little faster than that. But some grow a little slower. So depends on the person.

[@theknightofdoom260]

I don't use any comb or wax you can train it to grow the way you want just keep on guiding the way you want it to go with your fingers.

ive been growing my beard for about 1.5 months so far after shaving a 3 month beard off for a job. The only problem i have is slight patching on both the left and right side of my face, the hair on my cheek doesn't quite connect to the sides of my mouth, i also have patches on both sides of the soul patch area and the middle of my mustache doesn't grow anywhere near as fast as the rest of it. My mustache goes into my mouth slightly and tickles my nose but the middle directly between my nostrils doesn't grow much

[@OswaldoCastil]

I wanted to grow an epic mustache, but I failed. I wish I had listened to the "when in doubt, grow it out" advice before trimming it. My upper lip is too thick so I have no idea of how I should grow and trim my musctahe. Any advice? The Beard Baron is a beardsaver.

[@khaledkh2927]

Beard Baron I love your vids man, im 19 so my beard is not strong and complete, but I love growing it. I know that shaving it with a razor or whatever does not make it stronger and fuller, but I see tiny blonde hairs on my beard and I was wondering if shaving those would make them eventually black and strong, would love to get a reply.. Thanks

[@thebeardbaron]

khaled kh There's a good chance that those blonde hairs are new and will develop over time into darker thicker hairs. Shaving won't help those develop but time will.

[@khaledkh2927]

Oh I am so relieved.. Gotta tell you I can't wait for my full beard to fill in so I can directly order stuff from your website ;) best of luck to you and your channel man.

[@thebeardbaron]

khaled kh I appreciate it!

[@chrisjee18]

When will you upload the mustache trimming video. Can't wait. Enjoying all the.videos!!

[@captnebulace]

This was super helpful thanks for making this! Right now I'm working on growing out my beard and mustache. Just gatta wait for the beard hairs on the front of my chin to get a little thicker and darker. But one thing I'm concerned about is eating Chinese food. Like specifically noodles with sauce on them. I'm worried it would get all up in my beard and stuff. Anyone here have any experience with that?

[@thebeardbaron]

Sauces (and anything liquid) are your basic enemies of the beard when it comes to eating food. I'll be doing a video soon on eating/drinking with a beard and mustache.

[@DesertedRocket]

Another awesome video! Best beard channel on KZbin, can't wait to see more!

[@thebeardbaron]

Thanks man! More on the way!

[@KalvinistKyle]

Question regarding getting past both lips. I have had a mustache for months...probably a year. Granted, mistakenly i trim it because i comb it constantly and pick at it, touching it, biting it and notice split ends on it when i pluck some out, which i probably shouldn't do. But no matter what though, when i let it grow, it gets pretty long but usually ends up curling into my mouth where yours seems to go out and over. Literally my hugs my lip and goes into my mouth. Is that simply a sign that it's not as thick as it looks? I feel when i look at it, it's more empty then people think or it looks. Just curious. Also, did you have that problem of always touching it and stuff?

[@NintendoHistorians]

Hey man your videos are awesome I'm growing my beard and moustache out together for the first time, My profile photo is my beard at 6 weeks, Now I'm never touching my moustache I usually trim the top mid section and leave the rest but its nice to know its best to just let it all go and train it thanks.

[@viewson83]

Great video. To me, a beard is nothing without an epic moustache. I mean, I don't really judge a guy that grows an epic beard and keeps the moustache completely trimmed, but it just doesn't look good in my opinion. I'm on my 5th month and yeah, I'm getting there and was wondering if my moustache would grow or not since my beard is very long compared to the moustache and, while I do remember trimming the moustache a bit around the end of the first month, I don't recall doing it again ever since.

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

My beard grows faster than my moustache. I can trim back my side burns and a week later they're already back! I guess that's the way it is!

[@7aydar7aydar]

Awsome video bro..and nice set up to make the video..im using ur oil is very good..im 2 month into my moustache getting great and 3 weeks into mu beard...

[@Trey4x4]

Mark my words you epic bearded friend, I will have an epic mustache and beard, just like you, in due time. I would really like a how to eat and drink video tips n tricks!

[@thebeardbaron]

You got the right attitude Travis! No worries as I'm putting together an eating/drinking video :)
