Great idea to grow it out. Been watching your videos for a few years now. I always get to about 4-5 months then cut it back. I’m gonna join you in the grow-it-out journey and shoot for at least 6 months. Mine’s getting a bit gray now at 44. But I like the beard and shaved head look. Thanks for all the great content. Cheers to the beard!
Glad to hear about the return of the BIG BEARD! Not on Instagram so please post videos - pictures on You tube so I follow your progress . Love the comment of , "im on a mission" have to remember to use that . 😊
Greg your beard videos are always so helpful. I always kept my beard trimmed very short until a couple years ago when I decided to let it grow. It was at its longest a few weeks ago, about 7 inches from chin. I had to shave it for work which was a mistake since it was not mandatory. Now I am on the journey of growing it back. Maybe not as long since my wife doesn’t care for it too long but I agree something about the bigger beard is really satisfying and more fun. I feel like a medium beard length is my happy place!
I miss my big full beard Made the mistake of trimming Trimming turned into hacking Hacking turned into regret Regret turned into realization Realization of restarting the process of patience and regrowth of the Bearded journey... 🙏🙏🙏Beard On my fellow Bearded Brethrens🙏🙏🙏
Sounds awesome Gregg. I too will be joining you on this journey. Far too often now I have fallen at a hurdle and not persevered with it. This time I’m going to persist- and with you on the same path, that will give me encouragement!!! Appropriate as well with Christmas 🎄 on the horizon!!😂😂 Good luck mate 😊😊
On a slight tangent to the main subject, I hope no one watching this content would allow their wife / girlfriend to "prohibit" him from growing out their beard to whatever length they wish. Shoe on the other foot, what do you think the result would be if a man tried to "prohibit" a woman in an LTR from growing/cutting her hair to her personal, specific, desired length (long or short), coloring it, etc? He would be branded an insecure, controlling, narcissistic misogynist of epic proportions. Men, let's be consistent in the context of performing masculine rights/rituals/practices and holding frame enough to keep them under our own control. While she may at some level have a preference, if she respects you as a man, loves and is devoted to you in life, she will not attempt to control this (or any other) aspect of things that lay solidly in the realm of the masculine. 8f, on the other hand, she becomes a constant state of annoyance about these things, then she is not for you.
You wear it well! I’ll be interested to see your grow but also your thoughts on Biotin as your journey progresses. Thank you for all your videos and thoughts. You’re quite motivational.
Glad I’ve seen this video been growing mine for 3 months and was just going to get it trimmed but I am now going to let grow for the yeard and follow you
Oh yes, me too... I said to my wife I want to grow a big beard because I never have. At 65 yrs old and now 45 years of never shaving because I hate it with a passion. Going from stubble to a just losing sight of the skin its now or never. Let the beard loose in 2024
Each big beard is better than the last! I like the idea of a "comfort beard"! So true. Although, I like a heated brush for my curly and tangly beard, or else I can't control it at all.
That's awesome Greg and great video. Funny part when you said you You can't come under my beard for shade lol. By the way I'm in the same position period I'm looking to grow the yeard too but I don't know what will happen as my journey continues. I messed up about 6 or 7 months ago when I was trimming the sides and botched it up and ended up taking it all off. I was loving my beard back then. It was my favorite just like it is in my profile picture. By the way I'm only 3 weeks in right now but I haven't touched the neck line period I don't care what it looks like at this point.. But the real awkwardness for me is about the 2-3 month period. Anyway, I'm on the journey with you but let's see what happens.
@@GregBoswell428 Indeed.. and I loved the compliments as well for men and women. But I love how you put it how you like to stroke beard. And taking care of it . all of that's fun.
Greg got say this to you just taken my beard to a short one my wife likes the short one better than the long one lol. Dam growing it out i miss playing with it when i am thinking. your channel is AWESOME.😁😁
I shaved mine after 4 months in November and regret it. Was trying go for a yeard. Longest I've let mine grow was 8 months and still not my full beard potential by far. Never seen terminal length mine gets very dense a s curly
Your beard is epic at any length! My beard is currently your length and I have been contemplating the same thing you are. My issue is work... I'd love a video along the journey, on how to keep a longer/growing beard presentable enough for a professional/Corporate work environment! Cheers!
Sorry Greg!!! I will be sitting out the long beard journey this go round!!!🤣☝️!!!! I’m still into the the shorter mid size beard! I wore the long bear for about 5 years solid🤣🤣🤣 and I’m STILL in the long beard burnout phase!!! Good luck!!!🤙🤙😎
Ladies always complementing the big beard. Beard got really dry and 10 months I was only putting oil on my skin and very little on beard 😢 so I opted to restart. Hope you get that yeard!
I keep growing my beard out for 3 months and then scaling it back down on the sides. I have a really curly beard, so it doesn't grow straight down like yours. I like to have the goatee/moustache thicker/longer than the rest of the beard nowadays. It seems more manageable to me that way.
Hey Greg, Just discovered your channel. Great beard info. I'm sure I'll be checking out more of your posts. Like your shaved head with beard look. Think I'll give that look a try. Keep my hair very short anyway, so it won't be that much of a change. My beard is about 2 and half inches from my navel. It's mostly gray now (just turned 60). I do keep the sideburns and definitely the mustache trimmed regularly. Haven't done anything to the length in almost 2 years. It's the longest I've had it since it turned mostly gray. Don't think I'll ever go back to short. It's probably longer than my wife likes, but like you, she doesn't discourage it. The only time she complained is when we were intimate. Thought I was going to have to make a choice, but now she will braid it nice and tight. Problem solved. I have started wearing it that way at other times as well, especially when riding my motorcycle. I say go for the big beard.
Hello, can you recommend a long beard trimmer? My stepson likes it longer and bushier. My wife does not do the best job helping him to trim it. If he had a couple really long guards, I feel it would look much better. Thanks
My first beard goal was to have a video like John Cooper from Skillet that he has in the Stars video. After about 6 months I reach the goal and was like, “Okay, now what?”
What are your thoughts about coconut oil on a beard? I live in Korea and it's much easier and cheaper for me to acquire virgin coconut oil than beard oils and balms from these American companies.
i need to embrace my gray hairs am bald as well so i feel when i grow out the beard its looks gray so i feel that it makes me look old am 43 on the 13th of oct I just need to embrace it and grow it back out.
My theory isCollagen is better for your joints grows my beard stronger. Biotin does increase my beard growth but I’m at a length I’m not in a hurry to have grow fast anymore.
Do it. Collagen is great for joints and hair strength. Biotin will grow hair faster but I saw great results with beard hairs being and looking nicer from Collagen.
Do you have any recommendations on how to get through the first hurdle of starting to grow facial hair out? Everytime I get to around two weeks I look at it and shave the entire thing because I hate how it looks 😅
Nice ! Lets do a 365 days time laps ! that can be an awesome video ! just trim it to number 1 stubble and take picture every single day , and let's see how much you can grow in a year !
The short answer: avoid over-trimming and make sure to use good beard products to help control it. In the end, some of it depends on what your beard goals are and how long you want it.
Going to be interesting to watch unfortunately as a guy in his mid 60s growing out a from a short/medium length beard isn't really an option, with more salt than pepper it would probably land me a job as santa, but I wish you well in your journey had I been 20 years younger I would have joined you.
Welcome back to the big beard club. I just took 2” off and I’m at 8” current. I’ve had an8” beard or longer for over a year. Last December was my Yeard I stared out clean shaven. Do yourself a favor and grab some @DefinedBeardCo oil butter and wash
So glad to see the return of the big beard! You wear it so well!
Thanks
Your big beard is awesome!! Which all of your lengths are !
Thanks man!
Thanks for this video Greg. I've always followed your beard videos and you've inspired me to grow mine out. Just trimmed it down to 10mm.
That is a nice length. One of my favorites. Thanks for hanging out with me!

I'm in!
You won’t believe break my stride was playing on the radio today. I hadn’t heard it in 40 years😊
Ah yes, I love that song so much!
I hope you take us on your long beard growing journey 👍🏆.
I miss my big full beard
Made the mistake of trimming
Trimming turned into hacking
Hacking turned into regret
Regret turned into realization
Realization of restarting
the process of patience and regrowth of the Bearded journey...
🙏🙏🙏Beard On my fellow Bearded Brethrens🙏🙏🙏
You have a great thick beard. The big beard look on you is amazing! Let it grow!
Working on it!

My wife hates beards. I get mine out, looking good. She always finds a way to get me (bribe) to cut it. 😂
Easy to do when you literally have perfect beard genetics.
You wear it well! I’ll be interested to see your grow but also your thoughts on Biotin as your journey progresses. Thank you for all your videos and thoughts. You’re quite motivational.
I will definitely keep you guys posted. I really appreciate you watching and commenting!
Awesome idea bro, I personally love the yeard challenge, looking forward to seeing your journey continue
Your natural beard looks the BEST! NO blow dryer!
Greg is growing the viking beard!
Another fantastic video. Can’t wait to see the big beard back.
You and me both!
Just want to let you know I really enjoy watching your videos!

There are times I’ll use it. Just not often.
Also w/the big beard and it being way whiter or grayer you may not be able to wear white shirt’s anymore. I’m proud of you Greg
Yes, this is when I want to be more conscientious about shirt colors
Im growing mine out too now for the winter. I trimmed it back short back at the end of September.
Excellent vid Greg. Ile be following your journey. Good luck my friend 😊.
Awesome, thank you!
Go for it! I’m growing out mine for 3 month’s solid I always go to trimming back to early
I always recommend that when you fell like trimming just promise yourself to wait 3 weeks. Waiting longer often works the problem out itself.
Great video, Greg! I like the salt and pepper. I’ve been that way for a while. It’s fun. I appreciate all your great tutorials.
I’m with you. The S & P look is cool and besides, most women love it.
That's awesome Greg and great video. Funny part when you said you You can't come under my beard for shade lol.

Yes sir! I think you are able to pull off any length Greg but im kind of partial to the BBB- Boswell Big Beard!
BBB…I love it!😆
At first I though the Title referred to commentary or reportage on a bearded men's trend. No matter what you do yours will look good.
Regards,
Thanks! Somebody else thought that's what I meant, too.
I've decided the same
I don't plan on stopping just the usual trim on the sides. I do not believe in using heat on mine.
I like the way you think
I shaved mine after 4 months in November and regret it. Was trying go for a yeard. Longest I've let mine grow was 8 months and still not my full beard potential by far. Never seen terminal length mine gets very dense a s curly

Wow, that’s a long beard!
Cool👍🏾👍🏾
I had a big beard during the pandemic, and I don't think I would do it again.
I felt that way for a long time. I didn’t think I’d ever do it again.
I am one week into a new beard. Thinking of going big as well.
Go for it!
My beard is around the same length as yours and the same colouring. Ive never had a big beard before im going for it.
It’ll be fun!
I’m 12 weeks in and at about the length your beard is in this video. Finding the longer ends of my moustache are really annoying me lately though.
DanC here we come 👍
I might eventually catch up with him. Who knows?
I'm still rocking my covid beard.

What are your thoughts about coconut oil on a beard? I live in Korea and it's much easier and cheaper for me to acquire virgin coconut oil than beard oils and balms from these American companies.
I’ve never actually tried it, but a lot of men say that they like it a lot
i need to embrace my gray hairs am bald as well so i feel when i grow out the beard its looks gray so i feel that it makes me look old am 43 on the 13th of oct I just need to embrace it and grow it back out.
Well, my kids already think I’m old, so…. 😄
My theory isCollagen is better for your joints grows my beard stronger. Biotin does increase my beard growth but I’m at a length I’m not in a hurry to have grow fast anymore.
Can’t say I know much about collagen. I should check it out.
Do it. Collagen is great for joints and hair strength. Biotin will grow hair faster but I saw great results with beard hairs being and looking nicer from Collagen.
@@markcafebrown2883 my joints could certainly use the help
Eat lots of eggs and natural meat your beard will grow like crazy
Do you have any recommendations on how to get through the first hurdle of starting to grow facial hair out? Everytime I get to around two weeks I look at it and shave the entire thing because I hate how it looks 😅
You have to set a date for how long you’re going to grow it and disallow yourself any negotiation on it. Give it at least 3 months minimum.
I tried the biotin vitamins but it made my finger nails grow too fast and made them brittle and made them break easily.
That’s interesting! Thanks for sharing that. I’ll keep that in mind and pay close attention.
Nice ! Lets do a 365 days time laps ! that can be an awesome video ! just trim it to number 1 stubble and take picture every single day , and let's see how much you can grow in a year !
I actually thought about that but didn’t feel like waiting 😅
It’s still possible in the future.
well I thought it is a perfect time for doing the time laps !
@@mr-sam-jax it would, really
I want to grow mine out Greg but it always looks terrible with hair poking all over the place, how can you keep it looking tidy as it gains length?
The short answer: avoid over-trimming and make sure to use good beard products to help control it.
In the end, some of it depends on what your beard goals are and how long you want it.
Oh, by the way…the last time I grew my beard out, I did notice my beard grow faster while taking regular doses of biotin. 👍🏻
I think I’ve come to the same conclusion. Thinking about making a video about my opinions and observations on it
Going to be interesting to watch unfortunately as a guy in his mid 60s growing out a from a short/medium length beard isn't really an option, with more salt than pepper it would probably land me a job as santa, but I wish you well in your journey had I been 20 years younger I would have joined you.
Will you still shave the cheek lines?
Yes. I forgot to mention that
I quit growing mine out after I realized men complimented it more than women,so it’s a5oclock shadow for me,maybe I wasn’t man enough for the men.
I understand that. If I wasn’t married, I’d probably do the same
Welcome back to the big beard club. I just took 2” off and I’m at 8” current. I’ve had an8” beard or longer for over a year. Last December was my Yeard I stared out clean shaven. Do yourself a favor and grab some @DefinedBeardCo oil butter and wash
