1. Make The Commitment
It's important to realize that it takes some dedication to growing a beard especially during the early stages. You may become discouraged, frustrated and receive comments from friends and family. But, it's very rewarding and worth the effort
Your success in growing a beard depends in large part on your commitment and your genetic makeup. Some people are blessed with the ability to sprout a beard in a few short weeks while others may need to spend months …show more content…
This will give you enough time to grow out a decent beard, and for you to become accustomed to maintaining it.
2. Start Growing Your Beard
You can start your beard whenever works best for you. Some people choose to grow it out during the winter months. Others choose to begin growing their beard during vacation while away from work. Yet others choose to grow during football/hockey/baseball/soccer/lacrosse/etc season. Others do it to support national causes like Movember (prostate cancer research) or any other worthy charity. It really doesn't matter when you begin... just pick a date and stop shaving!
One of the biggest mistakes men make is attempting to shape/trim their beard too soon. It's best to allow 4 - 6 weeks of growth before attempting to shape the beard. Even if you're only planning to grow a goatee, chin curtain, or mustache it's best to store your razor and allow your facial hair to flourish.
Why grow out a full beard for the first four weeks?
- You can't determine how your beard will grow out and will likely trim too much off
- You may find that your beard fills out well in some areas and not so well in
