@@BeardbrandAlliance that's what a good channel does. I know you have lots of followers and it's impossible to reach out to everyone, but you try and do a wonderful job, and I can't ask any more. Keep the good work up.
One of my favourite channels on TH-cam. I didn’t realize how much went into having a beard when I first started growing it a few years ago. This channel has helped so much I just wanna thank all you guys for everything
I'm a woman watching just because I dig you, Greg! 😉
Love having a bushier mustache with my beard, it compliments me way more than a thinner stache
I let it grow for two moths but i have to trim it its absolutely annoyng
Never gone more than four months growing my beard/mustache before. I’m at that four month mark now and am going to keep on growing and see what it can do.
Similar to cycling through the yeard journey, I recommend everyone trying to grow their mustache for terminal length at least once.
I'd recommend setting a goal to reach for six months and then evaluating your next steps from there. 😎 -Sly
If your profile picture is a 4 month beard, you’d have a massive beard if you went to a 6-8-12 month beard. Super nice.
Greg’s natural beard and hair color is amazing. It gives it so much character and depth. It’s like the perfect natural change. 23 year old hipsters color there hair to try and achieve this color.
As far as how much you've talked in this one you've done great. Sounds good, communicated well, spoke smoothly, didnt loose track of your thoughts or pause awkwardly and you maintained a pretty quick tempo throughout! Great video!
There almost NO videos on this subject anywhere on TH-cam. Big and moustache. Welcomed upload thank you 🙏🏻
7:55. Biker is my favourite style
Thank you Greg for all your videos. You really inspired me to grow a beard for the first time at 50 years old. I never thought I could when I shaved every day but with patience like you always quote on you’re videos ,the beard will fill out after time. On month 4 now and very proud of how I look now thanks to you ,respect my friend .
Again you teach patience. I love it! If you don't like it, just wait. It will grow out. Since this is my first time for letting everything grow out, I think I'll just let the mustache grow this first time too. I won't know how far it can go if I don't give it a chance. Then if I don't like it I can just cut it back and try a different route. Thanks Greg. 😊
Very good narrative on mustaches and beards. Like the presentation by Greg.
Really useful. 😁 I’ve been growing a beard for 6 months now and trimmed my moustache to a chevron. Now I want the handles back and like you said, within a month I can see them coming back. I’ve been trimming the middle section (for eating etc.) but now thinking a fuller more natural moustache might suit better? It’s all fun! 😁
I just shaved off a 20 month beard and also decided to let my hair grow out awhile. I usually shave off a beard around Easter-just picked my birth month(Dec) for this COVID tracker beard. I plan on keeping the handlebar for a while- maybe starting a Fu style into a full Viking beard for next winter! Excellent videos- wish I had discovered them years ago. Thanks
Wow. I was just thinking about this earlier tonight on wether to trim my mustache or to let it grow. I’m doing the yeard challenge and I’m in month 4 now. Thanks for the video.
I love this man. An inspiration. Love from the Arab world.
You are looking awesome bro. Great beard and hair.
I trim the middle of my stache so it aligns with my top lip, but keep the tails because I have patchy spots on the corners, and when I comb the tails back it gives it a fuller effect.
Its like you read my mind haha, in my case I only can grow a small beard but my mustache is so abundant, I have tried the chevron and trim it in the middle and it looks cool, but I was Insecure about trying to make it short with a clipper... This video just came so propperly.. I WILL DO IT with no hesitation, you are Right, it grows back... Thanks for all your advices!!
Awesome channel! Beard Gang...
Finding your videos is what inspired me to start this journey, I'm still trying to reach epic mustache greatness, I get close and then give in and trim...
Keep on growing dude!
-Weaver
I always like medium walrus or big chevron mustache with big beard !
Good video, and I've done a lot of these things. My mustache is very full, so I can play around with it a lot. My beard is thinner on the sides, so although I have a very full chin and under lip area, I can't grow the beard too big or the sides are just thin, wiry looking hair poking out in all directions.
I tried to let the stache grow to terminal length only once, but it was huge compared to the beard so I trimmed it back. I may try to grow it out again using the suggestion of trimming the middle section at mid-lip with longer tails. I like that look.
I like your videos you explain stuff very well 👍
I followed your advice and trimmed the center section using your 1/3 approach . What a difference! Looks better and removes those hairs that were driving me crazy. Previously I was hesitant to clip any hairs. Great suggestion!
I have a natural straight beard.not a nappy one. I wash condition beard oil in it. And comb/brush it excessively.
Used to trim my mustache to bottom of my upper lip a and blend in with my goatee.... Now I style it into a medium tight curl handlebar stache and trim the ends as needed. I like the look and it always gets noticed when its not covered by a mask...
I’ve had a mustache for 42 years. It’s varied in style from a chevron, walrus or Hungarian. Since I’ve been rocking the big beard the walrus and Hungarian are my preferred styles. I just feel that the big beard needs a big stash, in my case anyways. I’ve experimented with the handlebar and could definitely see it in the rotation. Pound for pound it seems the big mustache requires more maintenance than the beard. It has to be washed more frequently, combed and waxed at least a couple times a day. All worth it for me. Great video Greg.
Thanks Greg.
I've never understood the last option of having a massive beard with a tiny trimmed moustache. If it's for religious reasons or your stache just won't grow I get it but otherwise I've just never understood guys trimming it that small. But to each his own we all have our preferences of what an ideal beard is and as long as you're wearing one you're on a winning team in my book!
In most cases, it's a style preference. The key is to know which style gives you the most inspiration - and, also being willing to take risks out of the norm - there's only way to find out if the style is right for you. 🤜 -Sly
Hi Greg, thanks for the video ' I have just done like you say with the moustache ? Mainly because I want to wear the handlebar moustache. Great video by the way.
Love these videos!
Looking for a barber in the Ft Worth area to help me trim/train my mustache.
Not comfortable doing it.
Looking sharp
Big fan of the large handlebar mustache with the big beard. In my (admittedly anecdotal) experience, a lot of guys with big beards trim their mustaches to the point that they look odd. I like a fuller, more natural look, but the handlebars give it a bit of sophistication for work or church.
I have a very slow growing beard. It's been 2 years and I'm only up (down) to 3 inches. I've been trying some new products and hopefully I'll start to get some length. As for my mustache, I might have to give the chevron a try. Once the sides start getting any length, it begins to thin out. Anyway, I love the info your channel provides. Thanks.
Minoxidil might help in your case
Honestly Greg, if you shaved your mustache off and just rocked your beard.... I think it would look killer. And you'd look younger! I'd like to see you give it a try!
Is that t shirt a Queen reference?
Anyone consistently having their handlebar as part of their lunch? nope? just me? I guess its time for mustache product
It's one of those beautiful struggles in the journey.
Working with the right tools and implementing some styling techniques will help go a long way. Let us know how we can help along the way. 🤜 -Sly
I just did this as a Spring trim especially since I got sick of eating it and getting it stuck in my teeth!
you are amazing
Loving the new trends. I have had a beard or goatee for 35 years, at differing lengths. I am not a big fan of mustache products, so these more trimmed ideas are my go to. It is nice to be in fashion, rather than “that scruffy guy”.
I started my beard growth at the beginning of covid and have now named my beard covidski 😍😍
Hey Greg, Nice T-shirt, where can I get one like that?
The thing that makes Greg a cut above is his knowledge of biology and how simply he articulates it.
great vid. thanks for the info, letting everything grow for first time in my life, right now almost 4 months. noticed the middle of my mustache staying short while my beard is much longer, also the side of mustache does grow longer than the parts under my nose, so i was wondering if this is normal but this video answers my question :)
My stache is by far the weakest part of my beard. I have gone up to 5 months without trimming it and I'd say mine goes terminal at around the 2 &1/2 to 3 month mark. It's much thinner then my beard which is really full and keeps growing well past the year mark. As I now know my staches full potential I choose to keep it semi full at around the 2 month length and trim it every few weeks. I agree with you 100% though and think everyone able should at least try to grow the stache to its terminal length to see your full potential.
On March 30th, we’re releasing a limited-edition product so rare that only 1% of customers will be able to get it.

👍🏼 Thanks for the video. I just grew my 1st beard & yeard & I’m going to continue to grow out the stache (likely let it go terminal) because I want a low lying , loose curl (more of a swoop actually), natural looking handle bar to sit on top the beard.
Sounds dope!
-Weaver
I have a very thick 3-4 inch beard but I have a very weak mustache. By weak I mean it’s rather thin compared to my beard and the length on the sides is barely connecting to my beard. I’ve been growing them both for about 10 months but now I think I gotta try a handlebar and make the best of it.
In 1996, my beard reached a length to approx. to the 4th rib anatomically speaking and my hair grew past the Acromium part of my shoulder blade (nr. rotator cuff), but I did trim my mustache though. I even shovelled barley in a grain bin that summer w that beard & hair length on my head. My mask had trouble staying on my face whilst shovelling grain. However, by October my hair & beard had to be cut and trimmed up for a wedding that autumn. Now, I enjoy my short hair because of my thinning hairline but I have a groomed beard now days.
Fab info Greg thank you. In case you read this and might answer if you have the time thank you, I'm 49 in a few months and I have my first beard. I'm only growing the beard because I want a handle bar. My right side tash is growing way faster than my left. Ist this normal? Hope you see this and maybe answer Sir
Dayum, your mustache looks good at 7:25!!!
I had a big mustache. I got tired of it in my mouth while eating. So I trimmed it. I got tired of the trimming of it every day. So I shaved and really right now I am enjoying shaving. Personally I think the big mustache looks best.
I'm about 11 months into my beard. I've definitely trimmed it along the way but it's still got length. Feeling my moustache on my lips drives me crazy sometimes and i usually find myself trimming it then
guy looks like he has an entire planet made of him
I'm very nervous to make any adjustment as this is my first attempt to SERIOUSLY style my mustache and beard.
My beard length is about where Greg’s is in this video.
I’m a trombone player so the mouthpiece tends to break moustache hairs in a small arc in the middle, and I also trim at the top lip. The arc forces a style and I refine the look with clippers once every other week or so.
I am a fellow trombonist but admit that i have tried it since bearded.
@@BerzinskyRules neat, I didn’t know that!
Trumpet players can avoid breakage but tuba players are pretty much out of luck. I’m just glad my embouchure is centered because it’d look bad if the arc was offset.
I’m at a little over 3 months with my beard and mustache. I’m starting to experience a lot of waves in my beard and also on one side of my mustache. Do you think this will straighten out some with more time?
I need a bigger moustache to cover up some of my patches. I do trim a very small inverted “V” in the middle to keep my girlfriend (somewhat) placated.
I started cutting my moustache to my upper lip after I ruined my third shirt while drinking coffee. I've let my tails grow for over a year now; not certain, but I think they went terminal at about 2.5 inches.
I started to grow my Beard around about the same time Beardbrand started, with the occasional trim here and there but I've never tried to style a handlebar mustache which I love, mainly because my right side off the mustache doesn't grow as strong. What should I do
Like mine the hair in mouth bugging me lately but I’m just curl em out til figure out which way to go with it.
I'm kind of pigeonholed into a philly style because my mustache area is relatively thinner with a gap in the middle. Wish i could grow a Ron Swanson but it just isn't in the cards. Any other ideas for someone with a weaker mustache area?
I have a yeard size beard (I'm too European to think in inches, but around 3-4 maybe??) which I trim very lightly to let it keep growing longer somewhat evenly. I'm aiming for a terminal beard. I keep my mustache trimmed short at the centre, because it doesn't grow long there at all. Just barely half an inch, goes terminal at 1-2 months. I've a very thin and wispy mustache, so it looks best trimmed down. So it's not a lot I even can do with it, tbh. I let the tails be long though, as those grow a couple inches, for the occasion I'd like a handlebar. Although those little whiskers do end up in my mouth a lot, which can be irritating, but not a big deal. My stache is the weakest part of my beard, but that's alright! I've a very thick goatee area to make up for it.
So I've got a big beard with a chevron. I wish i could do the bigger bushy stache but one side of mine grows in toward the center and no amount of training or wax can get it to stay swept out to the side, its super frustrating.
I didnt know that gentleman was Jeff, i screen shotted a pic from good of him with a beardstache, i dont know if i could pull it off like he does but maybe one day.
I've tried several times to grow the middle of my mustache out now but it's too curly. Short of glueing it to the side I've not been able to train it straight. Normal styling products aren't cutting it so I'm trimming the middle.
My grey hairs on my beard goes crazy when they are long, what product should i use to control them.
Massive beard here with a pretty big mustache. It was over 10 inches before i took three inches off. Mustache has finally gotten to a point where its thick enough to compete with my beard.
My beard is almost 15cm grown wild but unfortunaly i don't have i full covering beard and i've to struggle to make it looks full and even. But my mustache grows quite as my beard, even more dense, now are more than 10cm, i never trim thoese at any point and i can make a big large curve with thick ends just with wax. But i will never leaves thoese alone cutting my beard.
I'm currently shaving with a straight razor to get a thicker beard and mustache. But I don't know if it's working, or if my beard is just naturally getting some more hair on my bald spots. Seems to be "working", but I don't know. Should I just stop shaving to see if I get better results?? I'm 33 and tired of having a weak beard..
Good info.
I myself, like my mustache to be thicker, and pulled down, like ,I guess a gunfighter, and be more visible down through my beard. Never cared for the look of a hairbrush mustache .
Even though it is easier to eat a burger.
I've been trimming my moustache back to near a chevron over the course of the yeard and then letting the tails grow out between trims.
Nice 😎

As a guy only 4 years out of high school, I wear a short stash/goatee with a clean shelf past my jawbone. I have a bird shaped patch near the tip of my chin on the underside that I shaped the rest of the beard around. I'd try for a full, but I have a low, low beardline with two other distinct patches that I can't quite cover yet. In a few years when my beard line raises a bit, I may try it again.
I had a patch but it went in the end after age 25 or so
I've been able to grow a fairly decent beard since age 60. I've had mine for 3 years or so. Even though I was fairly hairy since age 20 and quite hairy by age 30. Yet, I could not grow a decent beard. I had parents and siblings who would shame me into shaving against will. However, I didn't like it myself. Shaggier is better to some extent. Looking like ZZTop was not what I thought would look like good for me. Trimming too much is the biggest mistake I generally made. I really enjoy having a beard. Guys don't mess with you as much and you look a bit threatening. So a single man living alone; it helps to have one. I also got to the point where shaving everyday was a pain. I'm proud to be part of the men's beard club. Winter is a great time to try. - Steve
I much prefer a big stache with my yeard+, however though I have let it go I always end up trimming it once it gets to a certain length because it becomes annoying as hell. A simple sandwich becomes a pain in the ass haha. After an inch or so the stache just curves right into my mouth or on my lips. I have trouble with the transition from middle to tails like having short hair then suddenly long hairs dont look right to me either, idk wtf to do! I been only hangin in there due to having to wear a mask outside anyway.
Had the pencil mustache beard now I'm graduating to a walrus mustache beard...wish me luck
I know a lot of trimming mustache cuz my left side grows faster than my rights side, I had a big mustache a few months ago but I cut it off for the fkcng mask and Im trying to grow it back
lmao the start of this video is hilarious.
never been a fan of growing my mustache out. I often just trim it down to a #3 and line it up with my upper lip
In the picture you put on 4:32 your moustache looks like a PlayStation joystick.
What about Asian emporers moustache a
Divided Beard to 6 sections.... Brilliant. Now I have Structure to get my Handlebar Mustache.. A Million 10-Q’s 😎
My beard grows uneven, longer on the right side and shorter on the left, how do i fix this? Is it normal or is it only me?
Greg can you make a video that has beard style suggestions for men with weak jawlines and chins as well as men with jowls?
I feel like this can help change the way the world views beardsmen, I’ve seen a lot of guys who have jowls (sorry if this isn’t the politically correct term it’s the only way I know to describe it) with really short corporate beards and hard trimmed edges and if they were to grow their beard out to 3 or 4 inches, it would create a harder more defined jawline that I feel would probably boost their confidence.
Greg talks about this in his beard transformation videos. Check it out!

Yeah, I love that video! It had a lot of good notes and I was thinking that perhaps a video that is more specific to that particular grooming habit that a lot of guys have.
One that might even have profiles of different head shapes and how different beard lengths and styles may play to an individual’s features better than others. Even the fullness of your lips, for example, can change the way a mustache looks on different guys and I feel Greg has a very good approach for presenting this type of information.
Thanks for responding so quickly!
56yrs old, my beard is almost completely white, but i hate growing a mustache.
Yosemite Sam does 😂
My beard Seems to stop growing at about 6 months ☹️
I cant seem to disconnect my mustashe from my beard....im 6months in.....how do you all do it?
Most times, like I did with mine . It involves lifting up the (long) tails of the mustache(or what you want as the tails) and trimming some of those hairs underneath it..”separating” it from the beard
3 months, 2 inches and the patches are filling, I'm just 19 , is that good?
I’d say that’s probably normal.
Enjoy the bearded life. No need to go crazy with it. I think a short business type beard looks great on a younger man. But you can do what you want with it and have fun. It’s your beard and it’s your life.
Sounds strange but I bite my mustache in my sleep. So its always trimmed to my top lip. Hopefully I can stop
My moustache grows in much faster and thicker than my beard, which makes me feel self-conscious about the thinness of my beard. I end up having to trim my moustache multiple times...could you check out the beard video on my channel to let me know what you think I should do about it?
Thanks for repotting your situation. All hirsute is unique
i have the same problem. Im 24 and i can grow a mustache but my sideburns dont grow and my chin hair comes in thin. It also take 3X longer to grow than my mustache.
Hey Bryce! My honest advice to you, based on my own experience: Go with the Circle Beard and remove the hair everywhere else. I am aware that nowadays all the hipsters as well as the good' old beard community prefer letting their beards just grow out; but you have a great coverage in that specific area and an awesome natural outlining. Your Circle Beard is broad enough to look great and there are some sparse areas under your lip which really contributes to a characteristic, unique look. To my surprise, I got tons of compliments after rocking a circle beard for the first time and felt more confident with all of those sparse hair on my cheeks and neck removed... I think the length between 0:30 and 0:38 in your video would suit you the most... Maybe give it a try if you haven't already? Greetings from Germany
@@Eliminativ thank you so much for this thorough response. I definitely agree with you, and have often worn a circle beard because my full beard didn't come in thick enough for my liking. I appreciate the advice, greetings from Canada!
4:12 Awesome beard but also wtf that looks nothing like beard hair.
He literally took my scalp and glued it to his jaw.
This guy's 1month beard is more than my 2 years beard( it's actually 5 years
The dream mustache is for me the @Thor Rosland ´s one . Just see
tips for mustache growth?
You just have to let it grow.
Generally speaking, most of us will reach terminal growth in the mustache somewhere between 6-9 months. 🤠 -Sly
You have to scream motivational slogans at it in the mirror everyday and show it pictures of Zakk Wylde every 4 hours.
I'll see myself out.
@@BeardbrandAlliance oh yeah I'm letting it grow and I'm happy with these results, thanks for the reply :).
@@guitarfreak342 holy hell that is big
UFC fighter Tyron Woodley basically always has a philly stache. hes been doin that for many many years. his beard is usually between a medium to large size.
Am I the only one who wants "Mustache Confusion Destroys Beard Confidence" on a t-shirt?
what about thin mustaches? 😂
I've grown my beard now for 6 months. I've had long beard before but I like to surprise my girlfriend once in a while.. but for the mustasch. I let it grow until I get tired of it then trim it down with a trimmer so I can kiss and eat for a while then let it grow again. I like my mustach long. And my girlfriend don't so we compromise
Where I live we still have mask mandates. I use a bandana but it is still a major buzzkill when you have a big beard. I have stayed the course for 2 years. I refuse to shave my beard in the name of COVID. Stay bearded!
