You are so professional, so intelligent, so detailed, so positive, so knowledgable, so helpful, so good at what you do I just want to say THANK YOU to you! I am really enjoying my beard help from you!
I am an English teacher in Japan, so I can't quite grow my beard as long as I'd like. Modern day professionalism is of the essence in this country. I go to the barbershop each month for a Nikolai II style trim. It's similar to the "ducktail" beard.
I just wanted to let you know, Ive been growing my beard out for 10 weeks now and my wife has fought me every step of the way over it. She asked me today what I was doing with it. I showed her this video and told her your beard is what I was trying for. So after 2.5 months of her telling me to shave it off (not very nicely most times) when she seen your beard she said "oh, thats not bad at all, okay, you can do that"! Thank you Beard Baron! You saved yet another beard! SG
I've seen a lot of beards but your beard for style and neatness I think is the best looking I've ever seen. It's the right blend of length and fullness and it looks great.
Longtime beardsmen. Wish I'd had a guide on my first (shaped) beard. I learned after about a year of long beard struggles, before I learned stopping a trim was the most important part. Let it grow. Well Done.
Between this video and the stache trimming video, my beard is now looking pristine! Thanks so much for your advice! We had an awesome time at the Los Angeles beard competition! Eric Bandholdz and Michael Owen (other youtubers) were able to make it. Hope to see you at one of these shindigs sometime. Thank you Johnny!
Subscribed after watch 3 minutes of this. I never knew if growing a beard was like growing your hair (i.e. get it trimmed every month). You answered this straight away. Just grow it to your desired length. Could never find an answer. And when you mentioned the awkward stage i thought thats the part i always struggle with and therefore trim. Thanks for the tips. Legend.
Beard baron. I am glad I stumbled upon this video. I am at the awkward stage. I use your beard oil (fireside) and comb every morning after a shower, so it looks presentable. But i always wanted to trim. You gave me the answer of WHEN to trim, i still got a ways to go. Thanks again! Btw, fireside is amazing.
I recently separated from the military and I am determined to grow out my "combat veteran beard". I really enjoy your videos and I am going to put your products on my Christmas list. Your beard is glorious! good job!
Thank you sir! You just saved my beard. I am just in the akward stage and I clicked on your video to see the basics of trimming, but what you said was spot on- so you just saved me being stuck in this stage.
You're the man. I'm in that 3-month awkward stage with the wild hair -- I'm going to stick it out and hope it all fills in sooner than later. Beards, yeah!
5 months now and I'm in that phase, getting sick of the curly sticking out hairs in the sideburn area. I wanted to trim it down, but I came here to fortify myself against the urge, I think I need to wait. Thanks for the vids!
I learned a few weeks ago to just put down the trimmers, at maybe 3-5 months I was shaping and probably unknowingly trimming more than I needed to. then kind of felt stuck like you said! Told myself I'm done trimming. And it seems my beard is pushing through and gaining a little more length after less than a month of truly letting it go. Great, great tips my good sir.
I've definitely been in that habit before with trimming too much. My current beard is almost 2 months now and I'm going for the long haul on it. Looking forward to how it turns out in the months ahead.
John, I have watched all your videos. They are all awesome and most helpful! This video on beard trimming was especially helpful to me when I trimmed my beard. I use your technique every time and it keeps my beard looking fantastic! Thank you for all you knowledge, products and advice! Your products are FANTASTIC and I love watching new videos when they come out! Here's to the beard!!😉😊
You saved my beard! My friends and family wanted me to trim and fix my crazy sides but my beard hasn't reached my dream length . Im going to wait it through:p
Very beautiful and majestic beard! My brother is growing his out, and he really wants to get to where your beard is. He's right now in that awkward stage and everyday he fights himself because it itches and he feels it doesn't look right. I keep giving him some encouragement and with your video I think it'll be what he's looking for haha :)
i'm your fan man, such a good lessons that you give!you improve my confidence!my beard is growing strong now, i only created a cheek line, because my neck line is a gift from god since it's a natural neck line...you have to make a culture and historic video about beards:)thank you so much!Cheers from portugal!
do a video on how to eat with that massive mustache. Mine is getting longer than Ive ever had it and I am really starting to wonder about stages and strategy if that is any.
Thanks for the video! It took me a couple of weeks before I even dare to start cutting my beard but after watched your tutorial, I was ready for it. It worked out very well so a big thank you for that! :)
man, I had the dumbest accident while fading and trimming my cheeks.... I didn't check the guard on the clipper... long story short, my 7 months old beard now looks like 3 months old... Anyways, happy new year Beard Baron! Cheers!!
Yeah I have a 3 month old beard and same with my mustache and it seems that my mustache don't grow as fast as my beard I have the mustache of a high school kid thin and spacious. I have not trimmed it at all. What should I do. Oh my beard is growing like wild fire thanks to your beard oil. It's almost like miracle grow for the beard lol.
I've never grown out my beard, never more than an month but i love your videos and just need to take the plunge!!! Your beard is amazing though John!!! :)
Great video as ever. Just ordered some more oil from your site. Love the Wildwood. I think you put something 'extra' in it. Pretty addicted to the stuff!! Have you got any plans to start making beard balm? Would love some Wildwood beard balm! Keep up the great work.
Question for "The Beard Baron": I am in trouble... I think I had commented on another video of yours, and stated that I am "experimenting" with my beard by growing it out. I usually have a very shortly-trimmed full beard. I am not sure if I will keep my beard as big as I currently have right now, but I am just having a little bit of fun, in order to see what my genes are capable of. I currently am in the process of looking for part-time employment--preferably warehouse/packaging or "behind-the-scenes" clerical work....Some type of job that doesn't really involve much or any interaction face-to-face with customers. My Vocational Rehab Counselor has been bugging me to trim my beard before my next job interview. She said that my beard has gotten really "bushy". I don't want to trim my beard, but it looks like I really don't have a choice. Also, my Mom has been bugging me about it as well. ...Do you have any recommendations on HOW I should go about trimming my beard, where it doesn't look "as bushy" and has a more better groomed appearance, but at the same time I am taking the least amount of hair off?
Creating a cheek line and neck line are a great start. Trimming excess long hairs that stick out from the beard really helps as well. Those 2 things will help the appearance of your beard without taking too much off.
The Beard Baron --How many months growth is your full beard in this video? --Also...Is it normal for a few hair strands to come out of your beard while coming it?
The Beard Baron Do you recommend that I get a better comb? I bought a $1.07 small comb at SuperTarget. I didn't have any problem using that comb to comb my beard when my beard was very short. However, recently I have been growing my beard out (It has been almost one month ago when I started my beard journey), and when I use that same comb now to comb my beard in the "upward direction", chunks of hair get "stuck in the comb", making it hard for me to comb effectively. ...Do you recommend that I get a better quality comb---Will that help reduce, or solve, the problem? I don't know how much longer I will be growing my beard out. I am receiving EXTREME pressure from my Mom to trim it very short again, like it used to be before I went on my beard journey.
Great video, Johnny. I've decided to grow out a full beard - neck and all, but I had never bothered with cutting a cheek line before. I've been using a trimmer, but it doesn't seem very clean. How do you get your cheek line?
Do you suggest to just let the neck line and cheek lines grow out instead of lining it up? I've been at it for 5 months and I have good growth on my chin, jaw line, and neck. But not very much growth on my cheeks. I always thought having a crisp line on your cheeks would make it look fuller than it really is lol.
Beard Baron. First allow me to say that I am absolutely greatful to have found your videos! Very good material here and so far you have answered lots of my questions as well as given great tips. The questions I have are, my beard is very thick at this point, probably two inches off of the face, how do I keep my beard from having huge curls right below the ears? Lol! Should I continue to grow it longer as maybe this will help the curls to lay down? Or is there a way to trim this area to make it look uniform?Thanks so much! Davis
Love your calm reassurances hahaha it puts my nerves at ease about all this. In your opinion do longer beards (2+ months) require beard oils and products, or is it just a preference kind of deal? What do those products do for a beard?
Beard products help maintain a healthy strong beard and I recommend it early on. Years ago before I started creating my own beard oil my beard would get in rough shape but now it's 100x better.
Hey amazing beard videos I was just thinking if you can do a video on how to trim a beard with clippers because i've reached my ideal stage and I don't think scissors will do the job, awesome beard by the way
great vids, I´m a first timer about 1 month in, second real try to growing it, las time i thought it was growing out too patchy and to slow, shaved and started over. now only minor problem is small fast growing patch on the side of my chin, under the nose part of my mustashe and only noticable beard is under the chin (thereforth, not noticable) but, thanks to ur tips gonna wait it out, hopfully when i start collage it´ll be good. P.S. I live in Brazil, after getting into collage, in a few months I should be buying with u, bro. and gonna share ur vids with friend that already grow. keep posting great vids :D
I have been enjoying my long beard. Thank you for your tips. My beard grows faster on the left side. Do you recommend that I trim that side? I also wonder how you round off the front part of your beard?
hey the barber butcher my beard they tried to fade my beard with my 0 length hair and cut the sides of my beard to short I've been growing for two years so I took a 1 guard to shorten the front to allow the back to catch up and now I'm about to do it again I need some advice badly should I start over or keep trimming til it's all even again but will it grow back the same way
Problem I have is eating. I get food, sauce and even beer all over my mustache and beard. Any tips to keep that clean or must I just man the f*ck up? Thank you.
Im on my first month, should i even touch the beard? When should i trim it? I got a little longer on the side just because they are growing outwards. Combing dosent help me put here. Any tips(
really enjoyed all your videos man. i decided to shave today and start growing a full beard only problem is my mustache comes in pretty thin; doesn't ever look like it fits with my beard. is there anything i can do to make this blend better? it's a little discouraging
You could keep it shorter if you don't like the look of it grown out. Sometimes the mustache can lag behind the rest of the beard in terms of growth and density.
Question for you Sir Beard Baron. Not sure if this has been covered or asked before, but I was wondering, what's a good routine for post shower beard etiquette? Besides that, kudos on the channel, your videos are awesome!
Hey Matthew, thanks for watching! I plan on doing a beard routine video soon but in the meantime I towel dry my beard then apply beard oil, and then run a comb through it.
Due to my curls.. my beard hairs start to go out of shape way too early.. i want to grow a big beard by due to my curls i am forced to trim too often due to which i cant reach the beard size i actually want.. can u please help sir..??
Question for "The Beard Baron" What about if you trim your beard using a beard trimmer in stages, increasing the grade, to keep all the hairs roughly the same length as you go. As you say, different hairs grow at different rates, so beginning a beard growing adventure and trimming everything to a grade one, then a week later, trimming everything to a grade two, a week later grade 3 etc. is still allowing your beard to level up, while also keeping things neat and tidy. My question is this... do you disagree?
Matthew Hoyle It's definitely a good approach if you can stay disciplined in it. The reason I encourage men to grow out the beard and maintain the lines is because every time you trim you're opening yourself up to making a mistake or a poor decision.
Hey Beard Baron. Great tips. I could use some advise on products. My beard gets very bushy and I would like to keep it looking nice and neat but don't want to cut it anymore. I want to grow it out. Any tips on products and steps I can take would be appreciated. Thanks.
Hey Beard Baron. I've had a full beard since I was about 13. However I either let it grow wild or shaved it close til recently. Your videos have have helped me so much in learning how to properly trim and shape my beard. However the one thing I really have trouble with is judging where to trim my neckline or whether to even trim it at all. I'm about 7 months of untrimmed growth now and can't even see my neck now without lifting my beard. I'm afraid to trim my neckline in that it might damage the body underneath. Do you trim your neckline at all? If so, would you consider doing a video on how to shave/trim your "neckbeard"?
Brian Phillippi I trim my neckline as low as it can go. My beard covers it so you never really see it. It can be lowered over time as it can grow a bit fast.
Hi there Just wanted to say that I received my package with the comb, scissors, wax and oil today. Very fast shipping to Norway! Your vids are very educational, and I hope to see more from you soon. Oh, and a quick question: You might never have run into this, but becoming a bit older (soon 40) I have gotten a few grey hairs in my beard. I'm contemplating trying some colouring/dying to get rid of them, and maybe darken my colour a bit. Not permanently, but as a fun change perhaps. Any advice on how to do this properly?
Glad everything arrived so quickly! As for dyes I don't have much experience but you should look into natural henna as a dye which should do the trick :)
I usually do a maintenance trim once a week. In one week my beard usually grows out of the shape I want. Is it more often than normally? Question for The Beard Baron
Hey Beard Baron! Thanks for all the tips and advices, digging all your videos. I've been growing by beard for 9 months and since about 1 month it's turning in a natural french fork... any tips on how to avoid the fork? Thanks in advance, and great job on the videos, great stuff.
E. S. Ferreira Some beards tend to fork more so than others. Try growing out as much neck hair as possible so the fork isn't so obvious. Otherwise you may have to trim it back if you're really trying to avoid the fork look.
The Beard Baron I'm excited for the eating tips. I have a problem Baron. I have like a year of regularly trimmed growth..my mustache is pretty decent but one side doesn't like to naturally curl..do I just need wax or do I need to curl it somehow?
The Beard Baron Here I would say it is fairly simple. I have a big 'stache so I bend it to the sides between my thumb and index finger (without wax or oil) gently a few times for the duration of the dinner. Then I open my mouth wider than I'd do if I wouldn't have facial hair to get everything from the fork/spoon with minimal spillage. Now if spillage does occur then a napkin can come in handy, but I usually after a dinner always go to the bathroom to wash my hands and since I grew the beard that gives me the opportunity to see if a bit of fat from a soup or something has managed to slither itself through my careful methods. After I wash my hands I just remove those bits and crumbs and what not with water and comb it with a tiny nice horn made comb that fits perfectly in the pocket. Ta-daa! Problem solved and no one has to faint or drop their monocles in their sherry glasses because of a tiny crumb of dinner leftover on your facial hair :)
Beard baron you are epic I really enjoy watching your videos. I have started growing a beard for the first time I am at only 3 weeks so far its quite patchy but coming together I have some really noticeable long hairs that are sticking out along my jaw line now. should I wait till 3 months then trim. subscribed as well cheers.
adam nichol Thanks subscribing Adam! You can certainly trim those long hairs but you can't get carried away. There will be a big temptation to keep trimming. That's why I usually recommend not doing so. If you can exhibit self control then you can try it.
Hello John ! Once again great video, I expect nothing else from you :p I have a 2 months and a half beard (I have asian blood so it takes time to grow) which is short and not dense yet. It is getting quite wild on my chin (certain hair are way longer than the rest) but I decided NOT to trim a thing so I could power through it (as you taught us to do in many videos) and trim way later (I'm guessing it's gonna take at least 6-7 months for me to grow something decent). My point being, I'm waiting for the shorter hair to grow and get up to speed to the longer hair I already have, is that the right call ? Or should I just trim the longer hair and the shorter hair will eventually reach the same point as the "ex-longer" hair and keep doing so until I reach my goal ? I hope you understand my question, and I know you'll do your best to answer me ! Thanks man, really appreciate what you're doing and your passion is a great one to have, I bought both your mustache comb and large beard comb aswell as Wildwood oil and incoming I got the Waikiki oil :p (I will buy the scissors later on as I don't really need them yet). PEACE
Hey Nicolas, glad you enjoyed it! I'd recommend trimming the longer hair and allow the shorter hair to catch up. The trick is just commit to the longer hairs and not start trimming everything as it will totally defeat the whole purpose.
Great videos! I have been growing my beard for a few months now and just bought my first mustache wax and beard oil, hoping to grow a fantastic beard. How long did it take for you to grow your beard?
I had an awkward stage of my beard and I had to trim to make it look better for work. If you are growing a beard and are brushing it to keep it close to your face and shaving your neckline, how do you transition into a longer beard like yours?
Hey Ryan, it's a slow transition where you let the neckline get lower and lower. With the brushing you start brushing the hair away from your face once it leaves your jaw.
When I first started growing my beard, I shave my neckline and trimmed my stache. As my beard got longer and I decided to let it grow, it got long enough that it made trimming the neckline difficult. Now I don't shave my neckline at all and my beard is long enough to hide it. So once you get some length to you beard, it will hide the neckline and let you stop trimming the neckline. If you are going for length and fullness, don't trim the neckline to begin with. The neck beard hairs really add length and fullness to the beard especially if you have a thinner beard to begin with. Plus, part of the advantage of growing a beard is that you don't have to shave. If you trim a neckline, you are still stuck with shaving. It makes it easier if you can get by without trimming at all and just do a maintenance trim one a month with you get the length you desire. I am a 9 months and still letting it grow. Even if you do a maintenance trim once a month, you beard grows about 1/2 inch per month so you will still pick up some length and every so often, you will have to do a reshaping cut to get it back down to the length you want.
So i recently started growing and full beard and i'm new to the channel and i was wondering if its good to Lotion you beard? Sorry if its a dumb question.
Hi beard baron just a quick one ive started to grow my beard out I'm coming up to 6 weeks now and my wife isn't happy with it but do we rtel them to shave no we don't anyways I'm letting you know i didn't no that growing your beard was fun in a way i would like to get about your size in time but a couple of lads in work have told me to get it cut but i think it is to early I've only been growing it for 6 weeks i do have a couple of long hairs but i have seen your youtube video a quick maintain is this good or shall i leave it a but longer look foward to your reply
Darren Morris Sounds like you're having a good time with your beard Darren! That's how it should be! I'd suggest letting it grow out a bit more before trimming it. When you do trim be sure to only take a little bit off.
Josh Frier got the same problem, i want to let my goatee grow but it just looks really bushy and wild, gonna buy some beard oil and a blow dryer so i can get it kinda in the shape i want it but im kinda afraid to trim/shape it :P would rlly like some tips on that. Anyways great videos, learning alot as a newby beard grower!
Question. Have you ever dyed your beard? And what are your thoughts on dying it? I have heard it makes your beard look fuller but personally I think it is cheating. Or close to cheating
Hey great videos. I wanted to ask more or less at what age did your chin hair and soulpatch/under the lip area hair develop the most or stop developing? because i'm 18 (i know probably and still to young) and i have a more or less aceptable coverage but my chin and soulpatch are pretty weaker than the rest, my soulpatch is almost non existent XD. Awesome beard by the way. (and sorry for my english)
Hey Ivan, thanks for watching. My soul patch area didn't fully develop until around my mid 20's. While growing out the beard it's usually the last spot that grows in as it's one of the slower growing regions of my beard.
Hey Baron.. My beard isnt as long as I want in to be yet but should I still use scissors to cut split ends and longer hairs as I do have some growing faster than others?... Thanks
Beard Baron, would you recommend me to grow my beard out for the first 4-5 months before trimming. I currently do shave my neck line and check line, but the body of my beard I leave a lone. But not sure if i should trim, or power through and then assess what style I think would suit me.. Thanks for you time =)
Hay I got a beard but what do I wash it with you got soaps on yr sight cuz I heard your not suppose to use regular shampoo and conditioner and I have been so it dont smell! So any advice? ? Thanks!
If you use all natural shampoos its not really that bad, the problem is most people don't and those are horrible for your skin normally and will clog pores and damage the hair etc. Since I use all natural hemp shampoos I don't necessarily put it on my beard but i don't mind it getting in there cause i know its not bad for it, Use natural oils such as jojoba oil or buy a beard oil like the one at The beard baron store, it is scented which is nice.
I've wondered about this. I rinse it with water in the shower and then use beard oil once it dries to keep it conditioned and smelling good. Is that enough to keep it clean though?
So I've got a question for you Baron. I can grow a pretty thick and full beard, except in one place... The very front of my chin. Hair grows there but its not as dark and not as thick. I really want to grow my beard out but I'm worried it would look rather stupid having the hair on the front of my chin being a little lighter color and maybe not quite as thick. Is it even acceptable to grow a beard like this? Or does it just look sloppy? What are your thoughts?
The only way to figure it out is to let it grow out and see how your beard reacts and if length will help cover the patch. Some hairs might not kick in for a while so it's best to see what it's capable of.
Carlos Corona Hey Carlos, if it's not a ton of split ends I wouldn't worry about it too much, otherwise you will always be running to the scissors when you have them and you won't reach your goals.
Hi Beard Baron I have grown a beard and also moustache since the past 4 months i just keep my moustache trimmed above the lip. The problem i have is that my beard and my moustache is very thin and not dense as it supposed to be. Many people at my age have thicker and denser and darker beard. I am currently 20 years old and even i want to have full proper dark and denser and thicker beard. Do you know what i can do to get my beard thicker, fuller and denser?
Hi Beard Baron Thank You for your reply Do you mean that your beard was still thin when you were in your mid 20s? And Beard Baron at what age did your beard got fuller and thicker?
I'm 10 weeks into my beard growth and my sideburns are getting really out of control (sticking out, curling etc.) Do you think I should have a shot at trimming them or maybe go to my barber or just leave it altogether? This is my first full beard so I'm quite unsure.
Great video once again :) What are your opinions on wooden combs as opposed to Kent combs? I seem to get a bit of snag when I use my Kent comb, and I was thinking I might need a comb with wider spaced teeth.
Hey Simon I prefer the Kent combs as I rotate my beard oil quite frequently and get a lot on my combs. I've had concerns about wooden combs absorbing the oil.
Yeah I use a kent at the minute but with the teeth bein quite close together I seem to be getting a bit of a snagging problem which not only hurts but I always fear im pulling or breaking hairs. I think ill just get a wooden one to try. Would the wooden combs absorbing oil be bad? Surely that will only do good things for the wood? Or are we saying that it would pick up the oil youre trying to put into your beard?
Hello bro how are you? I'm growing my beard out. I'm about a month and a half now so starting to cover some patchy areas. I have been trimming my cheek and neck lines but i do want to go for a little more length than yours. Should i continue to trim my neck or let it grow out??
Robert Bachman When you're going for a lot of length you will need all the neck hair you have. I usually let it grow down in stages as the rest of the beard grows.
The Beard Baron I'm also having an issue with my mustache. Is 3months old now and my beard is 1month old. Some hairs in my mustache just go completely crazy. Some go straight out, some go straight down and seem to be real thick and won't conform with the rest no matter how much i comb. I use wax but i work in the construction field so it works it self out so to speak. I'm getting bad comments from my co-workers that say i need to trim it because it looks crazy. Will those hairs eventually lay with the rest or should i just trim the crazy ones?
You are so professional, so intelligent, so detailed, so positive, so knowledgable, so helpful, so good at what you do I just want to say THANK YOU to you! I am really enjoying my beard help from you!
DeepOne Thanks for the great comment!
The Beard Baron My pleasure, Thank you...
I am an English teacher in Japan, so I can't quite grow my beard as long as I'd like. Modern day professionalism is of the essence in this country. I go to the barbershop each month for a Nikolai II style trim. It's similar to the "ducktail" beard.
I just wanted to let you know, Ive been growing my beard out for 10 weeks now and my wife has fought me every step of the way over it. She asked me today what I was doing with it. I showed her this video and told her your beard is what I was trying for. So after 2.5 months of her telling me to shave it off (not very nicely most times) when she seen your beard she said "oh, thats not bad at all, okay, you can do that"! Thank you Beard Baron! You saved yet another beard!

Michigan Backpacker Awesome! I'm glad she's on board!
I've seen a lot of beards but your beard for style and neatness I think is the best looking I've ever seen. It's the right blend of length and fullness and it looks great.

Bjørn Tiller Glad you're enjoying Fireside! Trimming is serious business and I'm happy to hear you found the answers you're looking for.
Maintenance of the neckline and cheek line please
I recently separated from the military and I am determined to grow out my "combat veteran beard". I really enjoy your videos and I am going to put your products on my Christmas list. Your beard is glorious! good job!
James Urban Thank you for serving James! Enjoy growing out your beard!
Thank you sir! You just saved my beard. I am just in the akward stage and I clicked on your video to see the basics of trimming, but what you said was spot on- so you just saved me being stuck in this stage.
If you stare at him without blinking he turns to a floating beard!
You're the man. I'm in that 3-month awkward stage with the wild hair -- I'm going to stick it out and hope it all fills in sooner than later. Beards, yeah!
nickmordo All the best my friend!
5 months now and I'm in that phase, getting sick of the curly sticking out hairs in the sideburn area. I wanted to trim it down, but I came here to fortify myself against the urge, I think I need to wait. Thanks for the vids!
Steve Lewis Thanks for watching Steve!
I learned a few weeks ago to just put down the trimmers, at maybe 3-5 months I was shaping and probably unknowingly trimming more than I needed to. then kind of felt stuck like you said! Told myself I'm done trimming. And it seems my beard is pushing through and gaining a little more length after less than a month of truly letting it go. Great, great tips my good sir.
W Cally Great to hear everything is working out and that you've gotten past that stuck stage!
I dont know where i would be without these videos. Keep up the great videos!!!
The videos keep getting better and better. You should consider growing out your beard to it's terminal length.
I have toyed with the idea :)
I've definitely been in that habit before with trimming too much. My current beard is almost 2 months now and I'm going for the long haul on it. Looking forward to how it turns out in the months ahead.
ancientflounder Best of luck!
Thank you. I watched this at just the right time - I was about to go and trim some wild looking hairs but now ill leave them be.
Im stuck at the awkward stage. This video brings me inspiration. Cheers.
John,
I have watched all your videos. They are all awesome and most helpful! This video on beard trimming was especially helpful to me when I trimmed my beard. I use your technique every time and it keeps my beard looking fantastic! Thank you for all you knowledge, products and advice! Your products are FANTASTIC and I love watching new videos when they come out! Here's to the beard!!😉😊
Steven Sharp Glad everything has worked so well for you! Thanks for watching!
First time really growing my beard out to my length now. Love your videos, helping me out a lot! I'm around 4 months in.
GoatlynchSD Glad my videos are helping you!
Thanks for the advice on not trimming during the akward stage, it do be temting to do so
You saved my beard! My friends and family wanted me to trim and fix my crazy sides but my beard hasn't reached my dream length . Im going to wait it through:p
I am definitely at the awkward stage. So my I was right to assume powering through it. It just looks so crazy.
Very beautiful and majestic beard! My brother is growing his out, and he really wants to get to where your beard is. He's right now in that awkward stage and everyday he fights himself because it itches and he feels it doesn't look right. I keep giving him some encouragement and with your video I think it'll be what he's looking for haha :)
JoJo Bengochea Thank you Jojo! Just keep encouraging your brother as family support is the best!
i'm your fan man, such a good lessons that you give!you improve my confidence!my beard is growing strong now, i only created a cheek line, because my neck line is a gift from god since it's a natural neck line...you have to make a culture and historic video about beards:)thank you so much!Cheers from portugal!
Thanks for watching Pedro, glad you're gaining confidence with your beard!
do a video on how to eat with that massive mustache. Mine is getting longer than Ive ever had it and I am really starting to wonder about stages and strategy if that is any.
God damn that mustache is magical.
Thanks for the video! It took me a couple of weeks before I even dare to start cutting my beard but after watched your tutorial, I was ready for it. It worked out very well so a big thank you for that! :)
Looking through beard videos and saw that beard and knew I was in the right place
Matthew Friedrichs You've come to the right place :)
I'm still wondering how exactly I, a female, got to this video....and was very intrigued. You sir have a very majestic beard.
Thank you Sage!
That is one majestic beard
It's as though you make a video aimed at the precise stage of my beard growth. All beards are connected spiritually lol. Great video +
man, I had the dumbest accident while fading and trimming my cheeks.... I didn't check the guard on the clipper... long story short, my 7 months old beard now looks like 3 months old...
Anyways, happy new year Beard Baron! Cheers!!
Hector Flores Sorry to hear that Hector! It happens to the best of us :)
Yeah I have a 3 month old beard and same with my mustache and it seems that my mustache don't grow as fast as my beard I have the mustache of a high school kid thin and spacious. I have not trimmed it at all. What should I do. Oh my beard is growing like wild fire thanks to your beard oil. It's almost like miracle grow for the beard lol.
Sometimes the mustache can be the last to develop so it might just take some more time. Glad you're enjoying the beard oil! :)
Great video Beard Baron been subbed for awhile I defo trim to much .. some great tips and going to resist trimming to often
Glad I can help Liam!
I have the problem where my side burns are starting to puff out but I'm afraid to try and trim them up just because I'm trying to grow my beard out.
I've never grown out my beard, never more than an month but i love your videos and just need to take the plunge!!!
Your beard is amazing though John!!! :)
Go for it Richy! Thanks for watching!
Great video as ever. Just ordered some more oil from your site. Love the Wildwood. I think you put something 'extra' in it. Pretty addicted to the stuff!! Have you got any plans to start making beard balm? Would love some Wildwood beard balm! Keep up the great work.
Question for "The Beard Baron":
I am in trouble...
I think I had commented on another video of yours, and stated that I am "experimenting" with my beard by growing it out. I usually have a very shortly-trimmed full beard. I am not sure if I will keep my beard as big as I currently have right now, but I am just having a little bit of fun, in order to see what my genes are capable of.
I currently am in the process of looking for part-time employment--preferably warehouse/packaging or "behind-the-scenes" clerical work....Some type of job that doesn't really involve much or any interaction face-to-face with customers.
My Vocational Rehab Counselor has been bugging me to trim my beard before my next job interview. She said that my beard has gotten really "bushy".
I don't want to trim my beard, but it looks like I really don't have a choice. Also, my Mom has been bugging me about it as well.
...Do you have any recommendations on HOW I should go about trimming my beard, where it doesn't look "as bushy" and has a more better groomed appearance, but at the same time I am taking the least amount of hair off?
Creating a cheek line and neck line are a great start. Trimming excess long hairs that stick out from the beard really helps as well. Those 2 things will help the appearance of your beard without taking too much off.
The Beard Baron
--How many months growth is your full beard in this video?
--Also...Is it normal for a few hair strands to come out of your beard while coming it?
I maintain my beard length at around 9 months as I regularly trim it. It's very normal to lose a few hairs while combing so no worries there :)
The Beard Baron
Do you recommend that I get a better comb?
I bought a $1.07 small comb at SuperTarget. I didn't have any problem using that comb to comb my beard when my beard was very short. However, recently I have been growing my beard out (It has been almost one month ago when I started my beard journey), and when I use that same comb now to comb my beard in the "upward direction", chunks of hair get "stuck in the comb", making it hard for me to comb effectively.
...Do you recommend that I get a better quality comb---Will that help reduce, or solve, the problem?
I don't know how much longer I will be growing my beard out. I am receiving EXTREME pressure from my Mom to trim it very short again, like it used to be before I went on my beard journey.
Great video, Johnny. I've decided to grow out a full beard - neck and all, but I had never bothered with cutting a cheek line before. I've been using a trimmer, but it doesn't seem very clean. How do you get your cheek line?
I use a razor and will be doing a video on it shortly!
Do you suggest to just let the neck line and cheek lines grow out instead of lining it up? I've been at it for 5 months and I have good growth on my chin, jaw line, and neck. But not very much growth on my cheeks. I always thought having a crisp line on your cheeks would make it look fuller than it really is lol.
Beard Baron. First allow me to say that I am absolutely greatful to have found your videos! Very good material here and so far you have answered lots of my questions as well as given great tips. The questions I have are, my beard is very thick at this point, probably two inches off of the face, how do I keep my beard from having huge curls right below the ears? Lol! Should I continue to grow it longer as maybe this will help the curls to lay down? Or is there a way to trim this area to make it look uniform?Thanks so much!
Davis
Love your calm reassurances hahaha it puts my nerves at ease about all this. In your opinion do longer beards (2+ months) require beard oils and products, or is it just a preference kind of deal? What do those products do for a beard?
Beard products help maintain a healthy strong beard and I recommend it early on. Years ago before I started creating my own beard oil my beard would get in rough shape but now it's 100x better.
Hey amazing beard videos I was just thinking if you can do a video on how to trim a beard with clippers because i've reached my ideal stage and I don't think scissors will do the job, awesome beard by the way
Good idea! I'll see what I can put together!
Awesome video. You should be a teacher of some description as you have the natural ability to grab ones attention.
great vids, I´m a first timer about 1 month in, second real try to growing it, las time i thought it was growing out too patchy and to slow, shaved and started over. now only minor problem is small fast growing patch on the side of my chin, under the nose part of my mustashe and only noticable beard is under the chin (thereforth, not noticable) but, thanks to ur tips gonna wait it out, hopfully when i start collage it´ll be good.
P.S. I live in Brazil, after getting into collage, in a few months I should be buying with u, bro. and gonna share ur vids with friend that already grow. keep posting great vids :D
Glad you've been finding the videos helpful Gilberto! Best of luck on your new beard!
I have been enjoying my long beard. Thank you for your tips. My beard grows faster on the left side. Do you recommend that I trim that side? I also wonder how you round off the front part of your beard?
do you have a video on reshaping?
So if you wait to trim after the length gets to where you want it, what if you have split ends before then? Would you trim them?
hey the barber butcher my beard they tried to fade my beard with my 0 length hair and cut the sides of my beard to short I've been growing for two years so I took a 1 guard to shorten the front to allow the back to catch up and now I'm about to do it again I need some advice badly should I start over or keep trimming til it's all even again but will it grow back the same way
Problem I have is eating. I get food, sauce and even beer all over my mustache and beard. Any tips to keep that clean or must I just man the f*ck up? Thank you.
Im on my first month, should i even touch the beard? When should i trim it? I got a little longer on the side just because they are growing outwards. Combing dosent help me put here. Any tips(
Appreciate your videos- gotta keep my beard in check. :)
really enjoyed all your videos man. i decided to shave today and start growing a full beard only problem is my mustache comes in pretty thin; doesn't ever look like it fits with my beard. is there anything i can do to make this blend better? it's a little discouraging
You could keep it shorter if you don't like the look of it grown out. Sometimes the mustache can lag behind the rest of the beard in terms of growth and density.
Question for you Sir Beard Baron.
Not sure if this has been covered or asked before, but I was wondering, what's a good routine for post shower beard etiquette?
Besides that, kudos on the channel, your videos are awesome!
Hey Matthew, thanks for watching! I plan on doing a beard routine video soon but in the meantime I towel dry my beard then apply beard oil, and then run a comb through it.
How bout dying the gray out after trimming ? What product to use and the proper use .
amarosaking I'd look into using natural henna dye if you're interested in dyeing your beard.
Due to my curls.. my beard hairs start to go out of shape way too early.. i want to grow a big beard by due to my curls i am forced to trim too often due to which i cant reach the beard size i actually want.. can u please help sir..??
Question for "The Beard Baron"
What about if you trim your beard using a beard trimmer in stages, increasing the grade, to keep all the hairs roughly the same length as you go. As you say, different hairs grow at different rates, so beginning a beard growing adventure and trimming everything to a grade one, then a week later, trimming everything to a grade two, a week later grade 3 etc. is still allowing your beard to level up, while also keeping things neat and tidy.
My question is this... do you disagree?
Matthew Hoyle It's definitely a good approach if you can stay disciplined in it. The reason I encourage men to grow out the beard and maintain the lines is because every time you trim you're opening yourself up to making a mistake or a poor decision.
man you're the best! awesome tips, awesome video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hey Beard Baron. Great tips. I could use some advise on products. My beard gets very bushy and I would like to keep it looking nice and neat but don't want to cut it anymore. I want to grow it out. Any tips on products and steps I can take would be appreciated. Thanks.
Mr27leoram A simple trim can work wonders but wax and balms can help tame it as well.
The Beard Baron with so many balms and waxes out there, is there a specific one that you might recommend?
Mr27leoram I'm more of a trim and oil man myself. Some times for fly away hairs I use my mustache wax on them.
Hey Beard Baron. I've had a full beard since I was about 13. However I either let it grow wild or shaved it close til recently. Your videos have have helped me so much in learning how to properly trim and shape my beard. However the one thing I really have trouble with is judging where to trim my neckline or whether to even trim it at all. I'm about 7 months of untrimmed growth now and can't even see my neck now without lifting my beard. I'm afraid to trim my neckline in that it might damage the body underneath. Do you trim your neckline at all? If so, would you consider doing a video on how to shave/trim your "neckbeard"?
Brian Phillippi I trim my neckline as low as it can go. My beard covers it so you never really see it. It can be lowered over time as it can grow a bit fast.
Hi there
Just wanted to say that I received my package with the comb, scissors, wax and oil today. Very fast shipping to Norway!
Your vids are very educational, and I hope to see more from you soon.
Oh, and a quick question: You might never have run into this, but becoming a bit older (soon 40) I have gotten a few grey hairs in my beard. I'm contemplating trying some colouring/dying to get rid of them, and maybe darken my colour a bit. Not permanently, but as a fun change perhaps.
Any advice on how to do this properly?
Glad everything arrived so quickly! As for dyes I don't have much experience but you should look into natural henna as a dye which should do the trick :)
I usually do a maintenance trim once a week. In one week my beard usually grows out of the shape I want. Is it more often than normally? Question for The Beard Baron
Hey Beard Baron!
Thanks for all the tips and advices, digging all your videos. I've been growing by beard for 9 months and since about 1 month it's turning in a natural french fork... any tips on how to avoid the fork? Thanks in advance, and great job on the videos, great stuff.
E. S. Ferreira Some beards tend to fork more so than others. Try growing out as much neck hair as possible so the fork isn't so obvious. Otherwise you may have to trim it back if you're really trying to avoid the fork look.
The Beard Baron
Thank you, I'll see what i can do.
All the best to you man, beard on
Did you apply product (beard balm/oil) before you started trimming?
When will the eating guide be?
Hopefully really soon! Stay tuned!
The Beard Baron I'm excited for the eating tips. I have a problem Baron. I have like a year of regularly trimmed growth..my mustache is pretty decent but one side doesn't like to naturally curl..do I just need wax or do I need to curl it somehow?
The Beard Baron Here I would say it is fairly simple. I have a big 'stache so I bend it to the sides between my thumb and index finger (without wax or oil) gently a few times for the duration of the dinner. Then I open my mouth wider than I'd do if I wouldn't have facial hair to get everything from the fork/spoon with minimal spillage. Now if spillage does occur then a napkin can come in handy, but I usually after a dinner always go to the bathroom to wash my hands and since I grew the beard that gives me the opportunity to see if a bit of fat from a soup or something has managed to slither itself through my careful methods. After I wash my hands I just remove those bits and crumbs and what not with water and comb it with a tiny nice horn made comb that fits perfectly in the pocket. Ta-daa! Problem solved and no one has to faint or drop their monocles in their sherry glasses because of a tiny crumb of dinner leftover on your facial hair :)
Beard baron you are epic I really enjoy watching your videos. I have started growing a beard for the first time I am at only 3 weeks so far its quite patchy but coming together I have some really noticeable long hairs that are sticking out along my jaw line now. should I wait till 3 months then trim. subscribed as well cheers.
adam nichol Thanks subscribing Adam! You can certainly trim those long hairs but you can't get carried away. There will be a big temptation to keep trimming. That's why I usually recommend not doing so. If you can exhibit self control then you can try it.
Hi, I have a realy curly beard and a problem to trim it. Any advice?
Love your videos
Just stick to the long ends unless you want to shape it. Take it slowly and use the curls to your advantage.
Hello John ! Once again great video, I expect nothing else from you :p
I have a 2 months and a half beard (I have asian blood so it takes time to grow) which is short and not dense yet. It is getting quite wild on my chin (certain hair are way longer than the rest) but I decided NOT to trim a thing so I could power through it (as you taught us to do in many videos) and trim way later (I'm guessing it's gonna take at least 6-7 months for me to grow something decent).
My point being, I'm waiting for the shorter hair to grow and get up to speed to the longer hair I already have, is that the right call ? Or should I just trim the longer hair and the shorter hair will eventually reach the same point as the "ex-longer" hair and keep doing so until I reach my goal ?
I hope you understand my question, and I know you'll do your best to answer me !
Thanks man, really appreciate what you're doing and your passion is a great one to have, I bought both your mustache comb and large beard comb aswell as Wildwood oil and incoming I got the Waikiki oil :p (I will buy the scissors later on as I don't really need them yet).
PEACE
Hey Nicolas, glad you enjoyed it! I'd recommend trimming the longer hair and allow the shorter hair to catch up. The trick is just commit to the longer hairs and not start trimming everything as it will totally defeat the whole purpose.
Great videos! I have been growing my beard for a few months now and just bought my first mustache wax and beard oil, hoping to grow a fantastic beard. How long did it take for you to grow your beard?
henri samppala The length that I wear now is about 8-9 months. I keep it trimmed to this length.
Thanks for the videos! Any beard trimmers (other than scissors) that you would recommend?
***** Spend at least $50-$100 on a trimmer and it will do a good job.
I had an awkward stage of my beard and I had to trim to make it look better for work. If you are growing a beard and are brushing it to keep it close to your face and shaving your neckline, how do you transition into a longer beard like yours?
Hey Ryan, it's a slow transition where you let the neckline get lower and lower. With the brushing you start brushing the hair away from your face once it leaves your jaw.
When I first started growing my beard, I shave my neckline and trimmed my stache. As my beard got longer and I decided to let it grow, it got long enough that it made trimming the neckline difficult. Now I don't shave my neckline at all and my beard is long enough to hide it. So once you get some length to you beard, it will hide the neckline and let you stop trimming the neckline. If you are going for length and fullness, don't trim the neckline to begin with. The neck beard hairs really add length and fullness to the beard especially if you have a thinner beard to begin with. Plus, part of the advantage of growing a beard is that you don't have to shave. If you trim a neckline, you are still stuck with shaving. It makes it easier if you can get by without trimming at all and just do a maintenance trim one a month with you get the length you desire. I am a 9 months and still letting it grow. Even if you do a maintenance trim once a month, you beard grows about 1/2 inch per month so you will still pick up some length and every so often, you will have to do a reshaping cut to get it back down to the length you want.
So i recently started growing and full beard and i'm new to the channel and i was wondering if its good to Lotion you beard? Sorry if its a dumb question.
GroTon The Machine I wouldn't put lotion in your beard. If you're looking to soften it up then definitely get some beard oil.
should you trim after shower?...after drying? does it matter if you have oil in?
i appreciate you answering my question so quickly! you're the man! I just hit 6 months of growth and its looking a bit wild. The Beard Baron
Hi beard baron just a quick one ive started to grow my beard out I'm coming up to 6 weeks now and my wife isn't happy with it but do we rtel them to shave no we don't anyways I'm letting you know i didn't no that growing your beard was fun in a way i would like to get about your size in time but a couple of lads in work have told me to get it cut but i think it is to early I've only been growing it for 6 weeks i do have a couple of long hairs but i have seen your youtube video a quick maintain is this good or shall i leave it a but longer look foward to your reply
Darren Morris Sounds like you're having a good time with your beard Darren! That's how it should be! I'd suggest letting it grow out a bit more before trimming it. When you do trim be sure to only take a little bit off.
Any tips on how to trim n shape a goatee so i can add length and grow a gnar goat lol
Josh Frier got the same problem, i want to let my goatee grow but it just looks really bushy and wild, gonna buy some beard oil and a blow dryer so i can get it kinda in the shape i want it but im kinda afraid to trim/shape it :P would rlly like some tips on that. Anyways great videos, learning alot as a newby beard grower!
Question. Have you ever dyed your beard? And what are your thoughts on dying it?
I have heard it makes your beard look fuller but personally I think it is cheating. Or close to cheating
Hey Luis, I have never dyed my beard. I believe it's a personal decision on whether to do so or not as there is not real right or wrong answer to it.
East coast Canadian right? You have that accent.
I thought the exact same thing!
Hey great videos. I wanted to ask more or less at what age did your chin hair and soulpatch/under the lip area hair develop the most or stop developing? because i'm 18 (i know probably and still to young) and i have a more or less aceptable coverage but my chin and soulpatch are pretty weaker than the rest, my soulpatch is almost non existent XD. Awesome beard by the way. (and sorry for my english)
Hey Ivan, thanks for watching. My soul patch area didn't fully develop until around my mid 20's. While growing out the beard it's usually the last spot that grows in as it's one of the slower growing regions of my beard.
Hey Baron.. My beard isnt as long as I want in to be yet but should I still use scissors to cut split ends and longer hairs as I do have some growing faster than others?... Thanks
I also use coconut oil on my beard.. Any thoughts on that?? Thanks, you are beard king..
Mark Cress Using scissors on split ends and longer hairs works well as long as you don't trim into the beard and slow your progress.
Will do.. Thanks
Beard Baron, would you recommend me to grow my beard out for the first 4-5 months before trimming. I currently do shave my neck line and check line, but the body of my beard I leave a lone. But not sure if i should trim, or power through and then assess what style I think would suit me.. Thanks for you time =)
***** I would definitely power through and them assess as it will give you a lot more room to play with.
The Beard Baron Awesome thanks for the great videos and advice. =)
Hay I got a beard but what do I wash it with you got soaps on yr sight cuz I heard your not suppose to use regular shampoo and conditioner and I have been so it dont smell! So any advice? ? Thanks!
If you use all natural shampoos its not really that bad, the problem is most people don't and those are horrible for your skin normally and will clog pores and damage the hair etc. Since I use all natural hemp shampoos I don't necessarily put it on my beard but i don't mind it getting in there cause i know its not bad for it, Use natural oils such as jojoba oil or buy a beard oil like the one at The beard baron store, it is scented which is nice.
I've got something in the works so definitely stay tuned!
I've been using Aussie moist shampoo and conditioner ONCE a week. Any more and you dry out your beard. It works for me along with daily beard oil use.
I've wondered about this. I rinse it with water in the shower and then use beard oil once it dries to keep it conditioned and smelling good. Is that enough to keep it clean though?
So I've got a question for you Baron. I can grow a pretty thick and full beard, except in one place... The very front of my chin. Hair grows there but its not as dark and not as thick. I really want to grow my beard out but I'm worried it would look rather stupid having the hair on the front of my chin being a little lighter color and maybe not quite as thick. Is it even acceptable to grow a beard like this? Or does it just look sloppy? What are your thoughts?
The only way to figure it out is to let it grow out and see how your beard reacts and if length will help cover the patch. Some hairs might not kick in for a while so it's best to see what it's capable of.
The Beard Baron Alright thanks! I'll grow it out and see how it goes
Hi....is beard oil can cause the clogged pores?????thx
I haven't had any issues with clogged pores from beard oil.
Thx bro
Thanks for your advice
What if I'm not at the length that i want to, but im dealing with some split ends??? That's my issue right now =/
Carlos Corona Hey Carlos, if it's not a ton of split ends I wouldn't worry about it too much, otherwise you will always be running to the scissors when you have them and you won't reach your goals.
Hi Beard Baron
I have grown a beard and also moustache since the past 4 months i just keep my moustache trimmed above the lip. The problem i have is that my beard and my moustache is very thin and not dense as it supposed to be. Many people at my age have thicker and denser and darker beard. I am currently 20 years old and even i want to have full proper dark and denser and thicker beard. Do you know what i can do to get my beard thicker, fuller and denser?
Only time will will help a beard become thicker, fuller, and denser. I couldn't grow my current beard until my mid-20's.
Hi Beard Baron Thank You for your reply
Do you mean that your beard was still thin when you were in your mid 20s? And Beard Baron at what age did your beard got fuller and thicker?
I have a weak neck line will I be able to get a thinker look when it's longer like yours?
The neck/throat area is what adds a lot of density to the beard once it gets longer.
I hope I can still pull off a longer beard like yours one day then
i'm kind of retarded when it comes to using scissors and a mirror. i can never figure out which way to move them to cut certain hairs
Ricky It takes a lot of practice to get it right. It's a good skill to have when it comes to trimming.
I'm 10 weeks into my beard growth and my sideburns are getting really out of control (sticking out, curling etc.) Do you think I should have a shot at trimming them or maybe go to my barber or just leave it altogether? This is my first full beard so I'm quite unsure.
Hey Andrew, my sideburns do the same thing and I take a pair of trimmers to them and fade them. Check out my Beard Fade video for the technique.
The Beard Baron just tried it there. Looks so much better! Thanks for the advice :)
Proper beard sir
Question...the beard lenght u have how many months is??thx
About 9 months.
What scissors do you use?
Anson Baker I use the DOVO stainless steel scissors that I carry on my site.
Great video once again :)
What are your opinions on wooden combs as opposed to Kent combs? I seem to get a bit of snag when I use my Kent comb, and I was thinking I might need a comb with wider spaced teeth.
Hey Simon I prefer the Kent combs as I rotate my beard oil quite frequently and get a lot on my combs. I've had concerns about wooden combs absorbing the oil.
This was one of my thoughts about wooden combs aswell.
Yeah I use a kent at the minute but with the teeth bein quite close together I seem to be getting a bit of a snagging problem which not only hurts but I always fear im pulling or breaking hairs. I think ill just get a wooden one to try. Would the wooden combs absorbing oil be bad? Surely that will only do good things for the wood? Or are we saying that it would pick up the oil youre trying to put into your beard?
Awesome, where did you get it from? There doesnt seem to be much variance on style of wooden combs, but some do often have much wider teeth spacing.
Really helpfull video. Thanks man!
DarthYoda Sith You're welcome, thanks for watching!
Hello bro how are you? I'm growing my beard out. I'm about a month and a half now so starting to cover some patchy areas. I have been trimming my cheek and neck lines but i do want to go for a little more length than yours. Should i continue to trim my neck or let it grow out??
Robert Bachman When you're going for a lot of length you will need all the neck hair you have. I usually let it grow down in stages as the rest of the beard grows.
The Beard Baron I'm also having an issue with my mustache. Is 3months old now and my beard is 1month old. Some hairs in my mustache just go completely crazy. Some go straight out, some go straight down and seem to be real thick and won't conform with the rest no matter how much i comb. I use wax but i work in the construction field so it works it self out so to speak. I'm getting bad comments from my co-workers that say i need to trim it because it looks crazy. Will those hairs eventually lay with the rest or should i just trim the crazy ones?
thank you
Damn that's a sweet beard
