Will You Get Your Family's Beard? | Week 12 Update

[@wbc1]

My dad and his brothers can only grow a goatee. My maternal uncles can only grow a goatee. My brothers and I can grow a full beard. We must've gotten our beard genes from the mailman.

[@maf-mp7lf]

Wow your beard is very impressive after 12 weeks of growth.

[@eternalbattle1438]

His 12 weeks are 120 for me. My beard sucks to be honest. my dad always had a thicc full beard, and mine looks like nothing. Genetics sucked, at least for me. What is weird is that the hair on my chin area looks goldish/copperish, the moustache looks lighter in colour and side hair looks brown. People think that I have no moustache at all, but they are lighter in colour. Also, my beard grows the thickest and the strongest on my goatee area... Maybe I am still a young man (21yo). It probably takes time to grow a beard.

One at the middle of my mustache, and I have a problem, I don't have any soûl patch, just blond down in this area, I meant under the bottom lips just have a few terminal hair in there. I don't know what to do, cause my father has a full strong goatee and a full beard. Any advices ?

[@LewChap]

My family was looking through my dads childhood photos, and there was a photo of him that I thaught was me. But he corrected me pointing out his beauty spot above his lip. But I have the same exact beauty spot and we were both startled at how I am pretty much a replica of him with minor changes. This video just reminded me of this.

[@champagnepapi8500]

“Genetics can be fairly strong in families” alright who sold him the laced weed

[@Steelhorsecowboy]

Wow, your resemblance to your mother's grandfather is amazing. In my own family I found a picture of my father's grandfather and they looked identical. I was astounded. My son and I resemble each other in many ways except hair. I have medium brown hair with medium facial growth and light body hair growth. My son is a blonde bear with heavy body hair. I never saw a blonde with so much body hair on his chest and back. His facial hair however has the same growth pattern with the same blank spots but has heavier growth.

[@monsieurilker]

It's very encouraging to share this common idea which was misunderstood, like if your grandad and had a huge beard and your dad had it too, you'll have it or vice versa, it can be even better than their pattern or worse, that's why we should be able to appreciate what we have and try to sculpt to best out of our lovely beards!

[@oscarclarke2653]

My grandfather has a full set of hair on his head and a big bushy beard at 81 years old. My dad can grow a bushy beard, too, though he's clean shaven at the moment. He's bald since he was 19 years old. He's 47 now. I have a full set of hair on my head (let's hope that doesn't change) I have a beard similar to Greg's son, Victor, though I have a slightly thicker moustache. I'm 20.

[@karuzotv2847]

[@FaolanHart]

Its oddly beautiful seeing how similar you & the other men in your family look.

[@dylanparris4564]

I'm intrigued I hope you continue with this subject. I now wanna find out where my beard pattern comes from

[@larrytaylor5222]

From what I understand beard genetics leads heavily on your mother's father/grandfather. My father/his father have heavy patches on the sides and not much sideburns but my dads goatee grows in thick. My mother's father and his father on the other hand have awesome beards. My father is full blooded Ojibway Native American (which is an ethnicity that grows very little facial hair other than their goatee) and mother's mother is also full blooded Ojibway. My mother's father however is half Irish and half Scottish which is why their beards are multicolored (blonde, orange, and brown hairs) The hair on my head is jet black, when I grow out my beard the hair is a lighter black and I get blonde, brown, and orange hairs in it all over my beard (mainly on my chin) My beard hair while somewhat thin grows all over and the only part I'm missing is from the cheek to the mustache by only a half inch, other than that it's great. Also, through some other people I've spoken with they've also said it depends on their mothers father/grandfather.

[@mrr9108]

[@cgray8001]

I was once told that the genes responsible for hormones and how your body reacts to them are on the X chromosome which is why men typically follow there mothers side in terms of how hairy they are and weather or not they go bald. Obviously there are loads of other factors and my above comment says nothing about the actual pattern of growth but is more about the amount of hair. And women have 2 X chromosomes so there’s no tell which side of the mothers family the son will take after.

[@damiendavis.ezekiel5697]

My dad had to shave twice a day but only grew a beard once. I never got to see him with it, but me I have a very gappy beard at the moment, I have been growing it about two months, I'll give it some more time see were it goes.

[@MCPHALLIC]

The only person who could grow a solid beard in my family was my maternal great grandfather. I have the same growth pattern as him and also the same head hair pattern. Interesting how some genetics are carried from way back.

[@MCPHALLIC]

Additionally, my parents both have brown eyes but I have blue eyes from my paternal grandfather.

[@SnyperMac1]

I share beard growth pattern with my dad, it’s fairly dense growth. the only patch i have is a U shaped patch under my bottom lip and i have to shave my neck and cheeks to keep a decent shape to it.

[@davinciandiversity8823]

All men in my family have full beards but we all go bald, so I guess that’s my familial trade off for such strong beards.

[@babayaga1767]

i'm at week 12 and my beard looks almost exactly like yours. it's my first try of more than 30 days.

[@asilaydyingguitarist]

And to be fair, Victor is decades younger than Greg. He will probably not have as dense of a mustache as Greg, but it will fill in. I believe he'll probably have the fullest beard in the family given some time.

[@MC_Grenada]

Me and my dad have a very similar beard though he didn’t start being able to grow it until he was in his late 20s early 30s but I’ve luckily been able to grow it since I was 17-18. The only difference is with still being young my beard isn’t quite as strong on my chin though I’m sure it’ll get a lot thicker within the next few years

[@Herculean.Aficionado]

Same here. But with my father it was 19-20 and i could grow a full beard at 14-15. The chin and mustache are weak tho

Fascinating video idea. My dad has always had a large beard and I’ve taken after him in that regards. My son is 8 with blonde hair and looks much more like my wife then I. The men of her family are not bears growers. It’ll be interesting to see what his facial growth will be like when he’s an adult.

Mine does skip a generation by looking at my father's side photo like you did. It was scary at first because people thought I was adopted since I don't look like either of my parents especially my heights. Not until I saw my family photos in the past.

[@cotythezombi7355]

my dad or any of my uncles never really grew a beard. My brother and myself can grow one. BUT our hairline sucks. My brother never had really long hair, he kept his shaved. Myself i’ve always had more long hair but at 29 my hair is extremely thin and my hairline has decreased (basically losing my beautiful hair) so my beard is all i have going for me, i haven’t clean shaved in almost 5 years, i’ve trimmed my beard is all. However i live in a small town in TN and i don’t have master barbers who could really make my beard look good🤷🏼‍♂️ the point in my comment is i’m afraid to shave my beard in fear that it won’t grow back. It takes me a long time to actually grow one! so props to you Greg, you’ve kinda became my idol.

[@HezakiahRhinehart]

My dad had blue eyes that later changed to green, mine did the same, very interesting how these things get passed on. My dad has to shave for work, but I'm certain he gave me his beard type. I actually had a very strong beard when I started growing it at 16 .

[@mikemcclune1440]

So that's 12 weeks of growth, similar growth rate as mine. My dad had a full beard in his earlier years but later on kept a short / trimmed goatee / mustache because of work and having to wear a respirator. My dads brother on the other hand could never grow a beard even to this day, always clean shaved. My beard is similar to my dads but he always said my beard was fuller/thicker than his. I have a patchy spot right below the soul patch that has never grown in.

[@MarioWilliams-qu4qv]

My beard is a mixture of my mom dads and my paternal grandma side of the family pattern is like maternal grandfather and thickness and texture is like paternal grandma side of the family and slowly still filling in at late 30s

[@Perchumovic]

Yeah, my growth pattern is very different from my father's. His beard is full, soft and very thick; mine's very patchy on the cheeks and under the mouth, curly, and I have a very weak mustache. But I'm just 21 and he's 64, so I'm not sure if mine still has potential to be like his in the future. Here's to hoping!

[@SmellTheCanvis]

It is interesting looking at past generations facial growth. I don't know about my grandfathers' because they never sported a beard (very clean cut, traditional gents), but I can compare with my father. When I was 20, I started experimenting with facial hair and ended up disappointed because it wasn't as full as my fathers at the time, but the texture was similar - fairly fine and a little curly. Now I am 30 and I can tell you me and my father basically have identical beard patterns. My facial hair comes in a lot thicker and fuller, even though it could be more so and probably will get thicker over the next 10 years and so on. I think we will see this with Victor. He could end up with an even fuller beard than his father and grandfather's.

[@lasalbanula4543]

my father only has a moustache and chin hair that connect to a goatee. my uncles are facial hairless. But i have good side burns. But its a little bit of patchy. it comes from my mother's father i think. he had a full beard. Men from my dad's side are pretty jealous about it

[@kittylover9730]

My dad rocked a mustache for a couple of years, I'd say my mustache and neck are the strongest parts of my beard. I've never seen his other facial hair other than stubble here and there.

my facial hair is weird. i grow like a chin strap and have hair on my neck , i have a few hairs on my cheeks and i can see baby like hairs up close that form like a beard but you cannot see it from a distance. i have a filipino mother where asian men have a history of not being able to grow a western beard and i have a english father. so maybe that explains why i have half a beard....

[@noneya703]

Now this was an interesting video that I wish more people talked about. I personally have a father who can grow a great beard with basically full coverage and his mustache in particular is very thick. My beard however, is decent but the connectors are weak and my mustache is much much thinner than my fathers. On top of that, he is nearly 60 with a full head of hair and I am in my 20s with advanced balding. So it’s safe to say I got the balding gene from my moms side which makes me think I must have also gotten my facial hair pattern mostly from my moms side as well. Although none of my uncles on that side nor my grandpa ever grew their facial hair out so I cannot confirm that.

[@canotajman]

I look almost exactly like my father, the difference is that I have more coverage when it comes to facial hair in my early 20's than he has in his mid 50's.

[@canotajman]

@@crowzero9305 well I'm 25 now. I think it's from both honestly. The places where the beard is my thickest ( mustache and chin area) are the same places where he has hair. But I also have quite a bit on the sides burns. That's where he lacks. I also am more hairy in general than him on the front of my torso.

[@crowzero9305]

@@canotajman So you don't reach full beard yet ? Personnaly my dad has a full beard since his 25 years of age, he has a very strong mustache and a super strong goatee where no skin can be seen, his chicks and sideburns are full but a little bit weaker. I just turned 23 and I have super strong sideburns and cheeks, a weaker mustache cause there is a hole in the middle but it's starting to grow fuller and thicker. The only problem is my chin hair, it's not as high as my father and there is just a blond down at the bottom of my bottom lip, I don't know what to do to make it grow. Since my 19 i have sideburns, cheeks, mustache, all except this area which is espacially full for my dad. My body hair and beard pattern is nearly the same as my father, he just has more hair on the chest, on the arms, he even has on his hands and fingers. I suppose the density will increase when I'll be older.

Genetically I have a combination of both my boss father who has a beard that connects everywhere from the back end to his neck to his chest hair to all the way up blow his eyeballs and its really red I have exactly the same that's a very red beard but brown and dark Auburn also on my mother's side my uncle's it's very thick on the bottom area where the jawline is and the neck area is so it's very thick for me around there too so practically I am a little sparse on my cheeks but it grows in pretty spread out in a slow but yet once it's and it Blends I'm good. But yeah basically that's just how it is 26 years old and have a full beard all the way and everything connects so the next 20 years 146 I'll probably be a Strawberry Blonde Red Beard werewolf!
