Beard/mustache questions and advice thread
We're a little over a week in, boys. How's the growing going?
Remember that your facial hair develops throughout most of your adult life, and that being unable to grow a strong beard at age 18 doesn't mean you won't have the ability to do so by 30
I'm 20 and my growth is pathetic lol
>>11942507
How long has that been growing for?
>>11942861
since November 1st
>>11943490
Oh wow. Yeah, might wanna wait a few years at least. Are you part Asian?
>>11943874
My mom is mulatto and my father is white blonde with blue eyes
>tfw the only place it grows thick is the neckbeard region
Just turned 20, 5 weeks old
Hope it will continue getting thicker on cheeks and mustaches
Also Ignore rotacion
>>11943972
How did it look like after a week or so?
Gonnae get it cut tomorrow, shit's getting grim.
Moustache specially is a pain in the ass since it grows twice as fast as the rest of it
>>11944101
shorten sides,it will be good
>>11944111
Aye that's what I usually get, besides just general maintenace.
Also, checked
1.5 weeks of "growth" and I'm already thinking of giving up. Is this worth holding out for?
>>11944203
I dunno man. Blondes will always have issues with beards. It really comes down to genetics.
You can keep in mind that as you get older it will most likely grow in more. So give it some time and enjoy a clean shaven face.
I can grow a bit more beard in a similar time frame as you and it's also denser around the chin and neck areas which is annoying but the sides are coming along fairly well. So I'd say time will decide for both of us.

I know the founder and he's an asian and he's been able to grow a damn good beard with some of his ingredients
>>11944420
can only really grow a mustache cause i hate the sides but lets see what happens in november.
>>11944420
the 'stache is good, keep the rest clean.
Fuck my genetics... and my weight but thats my own damn fault.
>>11943892
Yeah, keep a short stubble at most until it fills in more. As long as it's under control you should be fine.
>>11943972
It looks like you have pretty good facial hair genetics, especially for your age. I would keep the beard part a little shorter just to let the mustache catch up so that it doesn't look like babby's 1st beard. Overall, it looks pretty good and suits you well.
>>11944101
Looks pretty good, but do you not cut it yourself? All you need is a set of hair clippers and hair scissors for the mustache and you'll be set. That would be no more than $20 total, and that's being generous.
>>11944203
Go for a mustache only, my man. See >>11944420 for inspo.
>>11944420
Like the other anon said, shave everything but the mustache. It works really well to balance out your face, and doesn't look like you're trying too hard with the shape of it.
>>11944745
Lose weight, buzz hair, and keep the beard at stubble length.
Just about ready to kms
23 and apparently shit genes and/or low T
>>11944979
i just farted

Testosterone has nothing to do with your beard growth, it's the androgen dihydrotestosterone (DHT) that is responsible. Conversely, DHT is a primary cause of male pattern baldness.
Also http://huskybeard.com/ might help you out.
>>11945052
How to fix?
>>11942455
please be true
>>11945286
It's very true. It usually works faster than that too. I couldn't grow anything at 18, and now I have a decent full beard and a strong mustache at 21. Just be patient.
>>11945286
yeah, its filling up over time
this november i started with minox to force some more beardgrowth
This has been growing for about a month now, really considering just giving up
>>11945831
this side has some failures
everyone who is really doing this needs to kill themselves desu
>falling for Normie November
holy fuck
I'm 21 and i dont understand why you people want to age 10 years by growing out your disconnected pube masks.
you're only in your early 20s for so long
enjoy your twinkhood and tight skin
when you start to age then you can cover up your ugly faces
been growing since 2012, it's okay I guess, i'd like a fuller moustache, like those big ones that can hide your mouth
>>11945878
>twinkhood and tight skin
yeah dude, all of us here are the ideal /fa/ 20 year olds
>>11945878
my face is naturally ugly and i'm covering it up
>>11945878
>I'm 21 and i dont understand why you people want to age 10 years by growing out your disconnected pube masks.
you'll understand when you'll be older that every girl has daddy issues and want a guy who looks and acts older than them
Your 10 day growth will never be as pathetic as mine.
20 y.o """late bloomer"""
>>11946037
yes this is pretty pathetic
>>11942407
beards are for small willy cunts with masculinity issues that will do anything in belief that theyre impressing females

Stop shilling your website where you need to post your email adress to see shit
>>11942455
i'm 24 and still can't grow a beard. Although it used to steadily fill inn until i was 23, and then it just stopped.
What worries me the most, though, is that it isn't much it isn't 'dense' enough, actually it's pretty decent,it's just that it's too THIN so even though i get more hair i feel like it's stille gonna be thin as fuck
fucking sucks as fuck
>>11945878
>movember
Can't say I really understand what movember is, I just haven't shaved for a couple of weeks since I left my job and I'm thinking of rolling with it.
>>11945878
I'm 20
I look 15 without a beard and 25 with a beard
>>11946217
What, like the individual hairs are thin and fine, or what?
>>11942407
>boys
Heh
>>11946385
this
>>11946385
We are one and the same, my friend.
I'm at a crossroads, it's hard to maintain a professional job with a long beard, but it's harder when I look like a child.
>>11944203
Keep it faggit
The mustache is there/getting there but the cheeks are disappointing as usual! Plenty of month to go
welp lads fully shaved for the first time since high school
Sad to confirm my suspicions that I am in fact an ugly motherfucker.
At least from the scientific perspective I will know how long it takes me to grow from scratch since it was pretty shit tier in high school. Should come back pretty quick I hope.
>>11948165
it was a mistake
>>11948139
looks p good man
>>11948165
Just keep it at stubble lenght.
>>11948165
I can't grow anything but I'm glad as fuck I don't have your chin/jaw genes
wew
havent shaven for 4 days, usually i shave everyday, im really insecure about having beard desu. i feel like i look 10 times better all shaven
>>11949793
also how do you guys take care of cuts? ive cut my face previous week, and it still not healed
>>11948139
>>11945884
nice, also how old @black dude
>>11944979
you are good looking anyway, who gives shit thats last thing u should wory about
20 y/o dirty blond here. Half of the hairs in my mustache are super light, and the rest are dark. Does this change with age?
>>11950094
Yes. I'm 21 and have medium brown hair on my head, but my mustache used to be super blonde (the rest of my beard was reddish except under the chin where it was black). The more I let it grow, and the more I age, the more even everything gets. I now have a pretty even light-to-medium brown mustache and a medium-brown beard with a very slight red tint.
>>11949802
21
>>11948165
Jesus Christ how does that feel?
mfw I've had a beard for 3 years and my wife has never seen my face
>>11942407
I'm chink/spic, so, nah.
>tfw going gray
>>11950203
wtf are you doing here, ben affleck?
I'm a chink/spic mongrel, so, nah.
>>11950159
then its gonna get stronger soon mate
>>11950203
loved you in batman vs. superman
>>11944203
Try for mustache and goatee, it's too sparse outside of that shape.
>>11944745
A shave and a cutting diet will be good for you.
>>11948165
Left is too bushy and uneven but you do look better with a beard, no question.
>>11948165
I want to tickle that little baby chin
>>11945278
tren
>>11944979

>>11944203
Are you Edward Norton?
>>11951533
You look like a German engineer version of Justin Timberlake. The beard suits you for sure.
>>11951537
