I have the original pic of Natural Cheek- line and the AI picture with a groomed look. I’m used to the natural growth but several times I have been told to shape the cheek-line.

Had our first snowfall in Colorado yesterday. Winter beard in full effect.

I just found this sub and was admiring all the cool beards. I thought I’d share mine.

I’ve had a beard of some kind since I could grow one. I’ve been growing this beard since December. I tried to shape it this summer and did a total hack job, so this is maybe 3-4 months since then. I’m super happy with the fullness and seeing it in pictures now just reinforces that.

It’s just very wiry with a lot of strays and uneven lengths on the sides below my jawline. I’ve got an appointment in a couple weeks to clean it up.

Hello beardies. I’ve never really had a beard before. I know, how did I get this old without ever having a beard? Well it always looked patchy so I always ended up shaving it off. But this time I thought you know what, I’m going bald so let’s see if I can at least have a proper beard. But it’s not going great. So I’d really appreciate any tips regarding making it look thicker, less patchy and less messy. Let me know your favourite products and techniques. And let me know where I should be shaving to in my neck. Many thanks in advance.

What a good night for having a full thick beard at 22 yo Update: That Labiomental area has finally filled out with hair !

What do you guys think on the change? The one with hair is from around covid, when i first time tried to grow it out. Now at 27 after those top ones moved down i guess it was worth the wait(2nd attempt started around april, after a few years clean)

I’m thinking of letting the white hairs of this beard run wild and see what happens. Been a long time since I’ve even made it this far. I’m up for any product recommendations or suggestions. Right now all I do is shampoo when I wash my hair. I’m thinking of keeping it as natural as possible but I may also trim- maybe trim the sides but not sure. Any tips are appreciated. Thank you!

Like the title says. I genuinely spend 30 minutes trying to make it symmetrical and it never works out. My hair grows weird under my jaw (diagram also drawn out) so it’s so hard to get the sides to look symmetrical. It also doesn’t help that the corners stop growing at different parts of my face. Also my jaw is higher on one side than the other so I’m just cooked. Please help me guys. I have tried using a pen thing to drawn it before I shave but even when it looks symmetrical before it never ends up being that. It’s so stressful I need help!

Hi! Was growing my beard out for a while, got to a nice length and probably just needed to go to a barber. Got fed up with it and took a lot off. Cant tell if it looks better or worse.

First two are where I was at, last two are where I am now.

I feel like I have some decent growth now, but no idea how I should style it as a bald man. Any ideas or guides?

Hi! Looking for yalls opinions on what to do with mustache. Trim like a chevron, or keep growing and brush to side?

I’ve got vitiligo and it causes a lot of transparent/very light hairs, especially compared to the hairs on my head.

I feel as if without this issue I’d be rocking a chevron, but it doesn’t feel like it’s thick or dark enough as is. I feel like they look best when they cover the top lip, but you can see mine through the hairs.

It’s been a while since I’ve grown it out, and this is the longest it’s been in a bit, but I think I’ve still got a bit of length to come in if I don’t touch it.

What do yall think?

This is an update post on my first attempt to let my beard grow. My first post can be found here.

It's been about 10 weeks since I last shaved my cheeks and I'm still not thrilled with being able to see my skin through the beard. I notice it's simultaneously looking a bit bushy and a bit thin.

I have an appointment with a barber next week for a haircut and beard trim and I'm trying to decide what I should ask for with regards to the beard. Do I shape the top? Do I just trim down the length or let it grow longer to make the weight of the hairs get everything in line?

I generally prefer a cleaner look, but people have told me they prefer me with the beard. Open to suggestions and guidance.

This is a little over 2 months of growth…
I’ve never actually grown my beard over 3 months, and I really feel like I’m in for the long haul this time…
guessing I shouldn’t get it trimmed as I’m lookin to maximize growth and get it shaped eventually.

What products do y’all use?
