    This gives me hope. Been trying like 4-5 times in my life to grow that epic viking 4-5 month beard but I always shaved it because I couldn't stand how shitty it looked in the beginning. This time around I am 2 months in now and I'm gonna go for 6 month, maybe even a yeard, I don't care how bad it looks in the beginning. I am going to do this!

    I've tried growing my beard for months and it was slow as shiiit . After trimming a couple times since I realized that my beard is actually growing and filling in it was just hidden under my slow growth. My mustache is not my greatest asset as it takes ages to grow but it's getting there. My chin grows thick as hell while my cheeks are on the lighter side. I think if I go 3 months without touching my beard it will look pretty good. Moral of the story? Just keep growing the beard!

    Thank you so much, this couldn't have come at a better time!
    So I've always wanted to grow a beard but was discouraged until recently. My growth pattern looks somewhat like your last example's, Ken, maybe even a bit denser than his. But I've got these bald-ish spots on both cheeks, and while rocking a closely-cropped goatee for most of my adult life I never found the "faith" to let my full beard grow out.
    Through the miracle that is the TH-cam algorithm I discovered your channel a few weeks ago and started watching avidly. While at first intimidated by some of those thickets, after a while I started looking at those hairlines and I realized, "I can do that!"
    My original hair colour is a dark brown. Now I'm 51, and while the hair on my head is still mostly dark, my beard is about as grey as yours and Ken's, though more mottled in different, err, shades of grey. Which means that not only has the contrast between my beard and skin greatly diminished but also the different shades of grey hide the difference in density. I've been at it for maybe 2 weeks now and I've had my doubts every now and then. I got me some beard care products, and I even got one of those beard growth enhancement sets containing a needle-tip roller, because why not. Whatever it will or won't do for me, at the very least I enjoy the "wellness factor" of giving my beard some care.
    And now this video has given me all the confidence I need to see it through. Without your channel I probably wouldn't have started my journey. So in a very real sense you're responsible for making one of my lifelong heart wishes come true, right on time for Christmas, no less, and for that I thank you most sincerely.
    A very merry Christmas to whoever reads this. Should the madness that has taken hold of the world ever allow for me to visit the US of A I'll make it a point to visit your shop. Take care!

  • @DCJayhawk57
    @DCJayhawk57 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I have a pretty patchy beard when it's trimmed short, a lot of my volume comes from along the lower jaw and around the goatee with a pretty thin cheek line. I also have fairly straight beard hair which doesn't help in disguising patches. When I let my beard grow at least 3 months, though, I can get a pretty good full beard. I'll never be able to rock the tight cheek line, but I prefer a more natural look anyway.
    I'm 35 and each time I grow my beard out it looks better than before. My biggest tip is that if you have some patchy areas or relatively straight hair, DO NOT TRIM AT ALL while growing out. I'm talking about neck beard, etc. Don't touch it, you need to see what it will do and where your strengths are with some time. I made the mistake of trimming far too early and frequently and things always looked lopsided or thin, but currently on about 4 months growth and it's never looked better. All I've trimmed are central mustache hairs, stragglers on the cheeks, and stragglers on the neck, leaving the rest of it alone.

    I noticed a huge improvement in beard growth after I started taking biotin supplements daily. I take 10,000 IU 1-2 times/day. My problems are due to uneven rate of growth probably due to prescription pharmaceuticals and unbalanced hormones. Both groups of problems can be corrected naturally. Genetics shows the men in my family have full coverage. Yet I'm currently patchy. Not as much as I used to be though.

    Before I started watching these videos and growing my quarantine beard, 9 months ago, I took it as generally-accepted fact that those areas were patterns, much like a hairline is, where some people have a straight-across hairline, while some a widows peak, etc.
    It’s only in watching beard videos, while I’ve been growing my beard, that I’ve heard anyone even referring to that as being patchy or even being a patch. (Which technically it is a patch but...)

I stayed inside barely going out for the next 6 months i barely went out since i lost my job but had enough money saved up to wait for things to settle down before returning to work. I show up at work and every guy there told me i had a sick beard, then the female coworkers started complimenting my beard and i realized that i have a very nice beard. I went to my barbershop which i hadn't visited in over 5 months and all the barbers there wanted to be the ones to trim my beard and make it presentable. I told them i only wanted to clean the edges a little bit to not look like a bum, because i want to let it grow for 1 year and then il decide if i keep growing longer. All the barbers there told me i should let it grow longer because its growing very well.
