2 months in and my stuff grows FAST. I was completely clean shaven (in the Marine Corps) and now my beard is almost an inch long at its longest parted my chin and labret is the most thin while everything else besides this area is super thick and it’s very unsettling for me. Thank you for this!
I have a full beard but it takes forever to grow back fully. I only shave for weddings and job interviews but I really dislike shaving. It makes me lose confidence in myself.
This was great I wish more TH-camrs were like you and gave information for slow growers because, that's what I am. Thank you for the knowledge I very much appreciate it.
most of my life i had goatee and u r right my goatee is always separate from the rest of the beard. now i havenst shaved for a week and lets see if i can go upto 4 months. will try definitely.
Phenomenal video yeah I've had my beard for about three and a half years it's down to my sternum but on my cheek line there's some major slow Growers and when I first started growing it there was nothing there it's taken about 3 years for some of the weak spots to pop out so if you have patience it probably will come out
Thank you so much! I love hearing that, I think it gives a lot of encouragement to those who think they can't grow a beard. Thank you for watching and adding your wisdom and encouragement!
@@woogdesigns shit you do reply to everything! Cheers man, again I do really love your channel man. Your doing it right, I watch some other beard channels that piss me off on occasion I don't get that here.
I do my best man! It may talk a little while but I always set aside time so I can put more thought into my responses. I’m really glad you genuinely enjoy the content. That means a lot to me. I just try to keep it real. I appreciate your support.
luis Ascanio sometimes they will catch up as the fast growers reach the end of their growth cycle, but this can take a long time. I would grow your beard longer than your desired length and then get a trim to even it out. Hope that helps! Thank you so much for watching! 🙏
My beard is now two month old and heading toward month three...it surely looks much fuller than first month but still little patchy, but by end of month three I think it should start to look epic :D
This is a mildly confusing idea... I understand that not all hair grows at the same time (different stages of the growth cycle). But if you have to wait 10 weeks or longer for the "slow" growing hairs to appear, haven't hundreds or thousands of the original "fast" growing hairs already fallen out anyway? So wouldn't these different growth cycles pretty much cancel each other out? Maybe not? Perhaps, theoretically, if you wanted to maximize the fullness/thickness of your beard: you would grow it for 2 months (1 inch) and then just keep trimming to keep it at 1 inch for another 2 months (to allow the "slow" growers to catch up to the "fast") and then decide if you want to grow a longer beard. I recognize that this approach doesn't allow for longer hairs to cover up significant patches that have very little hair, but a 1 inch beard is still fairly substantial. What do you think?
Hey Joshua! Great question. Actually, the growth phase usually lasts about 2 years (on average), for some men this stage is shorter and some much longer. So after 10 weeks they would/should not be falling out and actually have a much longer time for growth. To address your other questions, yes, keeping it trimmed at 1 inch to allow the slow growers to catch up would work and your thinking is correct. I hope that helps to clear it up, thanks for watching and for the question!
Beard Booze Thanks! And to better clarify my thought, I had read that somewhere between 25 and 100 hairs fall off the face everyday due to washing, combing, brushing, stroking, and pulling. So I wondered if the rate of perpetual daily hair shedding over several months would counter the fullness/thickness gains made by the slow growers. I wasn't referring to the natural inevitable end of the complete growth cycle, when a foot long hair just "calls it quits" 😊
I also have a separate question, are the facial hair growth cycles based solely on time (independent of length)? Basically, is the follicle process underneath the skin the same regardless if you shave daily or have a decade long lumberjack beard?
That is correct. When shaving your essentially just cutting it while it is actively growing. So it can possibly only grow to an inch and then reach the end of its growth cycle. However this isn’t as common because the active growth phase is so much longer than the dormant and shedding phases.
I don't know whether I'm an extremely slow grower or what, because my facial hair hasn't gotten longer in a while. Or if it has, it's been extremely minimal.
how often do you trim your beard? For me I've been growing my beard for a year but trim my beard more than once a month for the last couple months. (alot more than I should be doing).
1 month in. such a patchy thin beard. I've never gone further than this time-frame, I'm gonna try to wait 3 months. I feel ugly with my beard so patchy haha
how long have you been growing your beard and what's its length? i am almost a year and i think it's not growing any more length, but the hair is thick and very curly.. you can find two or three curls in a single hair which cuts back length..i am not sure what to do is that healthy?
Mohammad ElShenawy I've been growing mine for about 18 months now with a couple trims. I'm not sure then exact length. It's perfectly normal and healthy to have a curly beard. Check out some of our other videos for more tips curly beards and styling your beard! Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks man! It really depends on the beard, but some can take a long time. I’ll see new growth even 6 months into a beard. It also continues to get thicker as you age. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching and the question.
Okay. I've been growing my beard for almost 6 months now. I've got about 2.5/3 inches on my face. It's actually looking pretty good. But the weirdest thing about it is that I've had these wierd sleeper hairs or peach fuzz hairs right under my lip, next to my soul patch area, for at least that amount of time. And they havent done anything. Are they just not terminal yet do you think? It's all blonde so I literally can't tell the difference. I'm just curious why they arent growing well like everything else.
I just think of my ancestors and the gods and goddesses of the vanir and aesir and that help me keep me from trimming the slow growers. And it's help. My beard is 5 or 6 inches now not sure
It's similar, but this video isn't about vellus vs. terminal, it's about the growth cycles and how the fact that different hairs in different stages of the growth cycle will "sprout" from the face at different times.
What if you can’t see pores that the slow growers potentially my come from . Does that mean they are not genetically there or might they still appear? I ask that because my beard grows very light and can still see my cheek . It’s been 1 month and 1 week so far . Someone please advise me I want to shave so bad but I want to get some more feedback before I do so
I would have to ask your age, because it sounds like you may be on the younger side based on what you described. At that age you probably cannot see anything until it breaks the skin's surface. As you get older the hair tends to get thicker and coarser. Hope that helps!
Beard Booze well not young but not old I currently turned 27 on July and this 2 month span I’ve let my beard grow has been the longest ever . It looks a bit darker now since I initially Left my first comment

Thanks I needed to hear this. I am almost a month in . Looking patchy and grundgy. By 3 or 4 months it will be much better.

Thanks for the inspiration I have 2 small patches going to give it a few months see what happens 👍
Great content as usual and the most seen hitting every topic along the way of facial hair growth!
Thanks so much brother! Thanks for all the support and for watching!
i m a very slow grower! thanks for your videos, very interesting! i will follow your tips!
Manuel Molteni de Regibus you're very welcome! I'm glad you're enjoying them. Thanks for watching.
guess I'm a slow grower both at the top and at the bottom.
anyway, thanks for the cool, natural and inspirational videos!
Excellent explanation of slow growers, best I've heard
That really means a lot. Thank you so much for the kind words and for watching!
I fuckend loved the way put it in point blank! To the progress 🍻🍻🍻🍻
Great vid my brother 👍🏿👊🏾💯

I'm 6 yrs in and still getting new hairs grow in, just throw your razor away and give your beard a chance. It could take yrs but it's worth it.
Great points, Steven! You're absolutely right. Thanks so much for watching and adding that.

Do long did it take in your case for the slow growers to catch up with the "fast" growers? Thanks for sharing!

Strong 💪🏻 beard 🧔 Brother. For me. I need to shape out because of my job ! One day let it grow out.
I got hope for the slowgrowers. Decided to shave my goatee and once again try going longer with my patchy sides.
Nice! Good luck, looking forward to hearing how it goes.
Seems like you're havin a good sideburns well connected Bro @Franksta281
do you have a better beard since you started shaving every day?
Thanks for the info im 2 months in and was about to shave it all off
Don’t do it! Definitely give it some more time before making any decisions. Thanks for watching and looking forward to hearing about your progress.
My beard is now two month old and heading toward month three...it surely looks much fuller than first month but still little patchy, but by end of month three I think it should start to look epic :D

Beard Booze my cheeks are not connecting with my chin :( hopefully they will.
You never know! Only time will tell, good luck!
Me too, 1 month, and very weak sideburns! But seems to be filling in.
sam3d mine is already connecting. I'll use it as a motivation to grow it further.

Beard Booze thanks i will watch them too..however does having a curly beard mean that it will not get any more vertical length
Mohammad ElShenawy actually as your beard continues to grow the hair will get heavier and tend to be straighter on its own.
Thanks for the video. How long do you think a beard can take to fill patchy areas, such as cheeks in my case.
Thanks man! It really depends on the beard, but some can take a long time. I’ll see new growth even 6 months into a beard. It also continues to get thicker as you age. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching and the question.

Very nice, Dylan! Looking forward to hearing about your journey!
Good video, Thanks. ☺👍
M. AbdulAziz you're welcome! Thank you and thanks for watching!
When you're trimming, you're giving the slow hairs the time to catch up right? So the easy tip would be: just trim so it evens out?
Lucas Schrijvert if you don’t want your beard to get any longer than it is currently, yes.
What is the best stuff to keep it smooth and soft because mine is like cactus! !!
Great question! Beard oil, balm and wash can definitely help with that!

Sounds exactly like the minoxidil videos with the whole vellus/ terminal talk. 🤔
It's similar, but this video isn't about vellus vs. terminal, it's about the growth cycles and how the fact that different hairs in different stages of the growth cycle will "sprout" from the face at different times.
Omg, amazing

You can apply onion juice to grow a beard
Even if that did work, I'm not sure about walking around smelling like an onion... LOL Thanks for watching!
After you apply it then put on perfume and put moisteriszer on your face
If your not going outside with a girl then you can apply onion juice
Apply it for at least 1 month

Nice! I think you'll continue to see it get thicker and darker. I'm 30 and my seems to always be sprouting new growth.
Your videos are normally interesting, but why are they so short 🤔🤨?
