    Everything you said was fantastic! Except the Bulldog oil and butter. The Detroit Grooming 313 oil and butter combo would be a much better suggestion to everyone. Other than that great info.

    Also, play songs by "The Beards" to your beard. Just like talking to plants, playing a song by "The Beards" to your beard daily, can dramatically increase the length, happiness, and general beardness of your beard. BEARDS!

    Good tips and I agree. Have grown 2 or 3 long beards and end up restarting so have learned most of these tips along the way. The fact you had to say a hair-dryer does not make you less manly makes me trust the tip more in some strange way :P

    • @Beardster
      @Beardster  Год назад +2

      Ha, seriously, some men get super concerned about using a hair dryer. I’ve used one for as long as I remember and my beard only looks half decent because I can dry it with one.

  • @TheBossman1116
    @TheBossman1116 6 дней назад

    First off, as a well fellow beards men, I can say DO NOT trim your beard, neck beard, side beard or even your side burns. As for the mustache, only trim enough so you are not eating it. Be careful of any product you apply to your beard, if it contains paraffin or essential oils, both of these are damaging to your hair. Do not use a blow dryer to dry your beard. The blown heat damages the hair as well. I use Old Amish beard oil and beard butter. The butter is more for styling. Get a pure sandlewood comb and high quality soft bristle beard brush. I also use a heated beard brush on low simply for styling.

    I wish barber's would know about this. 90% barber's I encountered just straight up do the same style on everyone. I like to call it setsquare beard. Short sidebeard, no neckbeard. Unless I specifically tell them to NOT cut it cause I want full long beard they always do it. Forgot about this last time and said to my barber that I want to shorten it a bit so it looks fuller. Now my sidebeard and neckbeard is basically gone. Well... 2-3 months of grows went down the drain. Keep safe folks. Make sure you and your barber have the same vision for your beard

    hey man!! I agree somewhat with the trimmed stache but the stache is all about personal preference. IMO having a trimmed stache gives the beard a much cleaner finish. Same with the neck beard Ive tryed leaving the neckline untrimmes and it works but IMO thats personal prefenence. I think these tips apply to people that want the biggest beard possible and dont care about how it looks.

    • @Beardster

      Hey man, absolutely - and this is only my opinion and if anyone does different, it doesn't mean they are doing it wrong. Great point on the angle - this is definitely coming at it from growing the biggest and longest beard (definitely should have mentioned that at the start).

    My beard is approaching 2 years now. When I first started and got tips on RUclips it was all trim the neck and the cheeks, but I found that my neck doesn't even grow that low. It stays at right about the adam's apple.
    The cheeks. The first time I tried to trim that and make that line, I messed it up so bad that I shaved my whole beard off and started over. Now I don't even touch it really. I did just once, but it just grows naturally with a natural line there. There's really no need to trim it. (I think I trimmed it too low, as he mentions in the vid.)
    I like my mustache trimmed though, otherwise I think it makes me look older if I don't, and I don't want to look older. :)
    The sideburns... omg I did that so bad until, thankfully, my brother, who doesn't even have a beard and can't grow one told me, nah, bro that looks dumb. So now I hit it with a trimmer and guard every now and then. Though, the problem here is you can ruin the sidebeard length if you're not careful. It's still a learning process for me.
    Kent comb!

    • @Beardster
      @Beardster  Год назад

      We've all been there with the cheekline...my hair grows to my eyes so I need to keep that in check.
      On the moustache - and everything I say, it's only my subjective view - I know plenty of guys who hate the long and bushy moustache look.
      Sideburns are a big one - kudos to your bro!
      And a solid kent comb is a winner.

    Hello! First of all: That's a really good looking beard. 👍
    I've been wearing a beard myself for the last 25 years or so but I've always kept it at a length of only about 1.5 - 2 cm.
    However, a couple of weeks ago I got the idea of growing my moustache (not directly above the lips but at the sides) in order to be able to create a handlebar.
    Everything worked out fine and now I have got what I imagined.
    But now the point has come where it has to be shortened a bit. Unfortunately I am not sure how to actually do it.
    Shall I comb it downwards and trim it, sideways and trim it, curl it into handlebar position and trim it... ?
    Maybe you have a good tip for me. I would really appreciate any kind of advice. 🙂

    3:36 It sounds like you're talking about a "Riker Beard" as seen on Star Trek: The Next Generation. They once had an episode where they discovered an identical Riker as the result of a transporter accident who was trapped alone on a planet. The makeup department wanted him to look a bit rougher so they filled in his cheeks and his beard looked so much better than the "real" Riker.
    I will say that low cheeklines aren't ideal, but they don't ruin a beard the way a high neckline does.

    Good combs like Kent or Chicago, anything like that make such a huge difference especially over time. Cheap combs essentially have tiny knife edges all over the place, the damage from that over time can really compound in a way that its far more then simply worrying about pulling hairs. Might seem silly to pay 10-15$ for a single comb but its soooo worth it, and most the better ones can last a life time so its not as expensive as it sounds.
    Also just for me personally, with heating a blow dryer is nice but i didn't ever get results i was hoping for until i found a good brush with low temp settings, i would say for me that was biggest game changer outside of what otherwise should be good daily maintenance practices like oil.

      Man - great point on the blow dryer and comb combo. You’re on to something there

    I'm a big fan of male facial hair, and I think you make some excellent points about proportion. Having said that, my personal opinion is that you've got way too much hair on your head. EVERYTHING is bushy - hair, neck, cheeks. I don't get to see your eyes, your shoulders look smaller. By all means, please yourself, just realize that some of your 'rules' may well be a turn off, even to women who enjoy bearded men.

      I have a beard, but if someone with a beard like that came up to me and asked for $5, I wouldn't blink.

    I really like the full beard look but I keep mine trimmed short because I’m too lazy and after 6 months it’s time to take out my vintage de razor and shave for the next 6 months

      Dude, I've literally just had to do this (because of an eczema flare up). Will be rocking the shorter beard once it grows back :D
