The tips for a fuller beard explained

  • To get a full beard, you mainly need time, patience, discipline and perseverance. Growing hair takes time and during growth there can be a number of inconveniences that you simply have to get through. Count on at least a few weeks to let it grow into a beautifully groomed, fuller, shiny beard. Keep in mind that it will not look the way you want it to in the first few months. Follow the steps and advice below to grow a full beard and you will see that your patience and efforts will be rewarded.

    Tip 1: Don't shave - When you start growing a beard, you should not cut, trim or shave the hairs for at least a month. This is in contrast to an already fully grown beard that you or the barber will of course have to trim every now and then to keep it looking well-groomed. This will already be a difficult period, because you will constantly be tempted to trim or shave every now and then. Don't do it, resist the temptation to trim your starting beard, and keep doing this for at least a month. The only thing you achieve by cutting, trimming and shaving is that it will take even longer before you reach the desired length. So it is certainly not the case that shaving more guarantees more growth and a full beard faster.

    Tip 2: Trim your neckline - After about a month, you will already have some beard, but certainly not a full one. You can start trimming it now or let it grow a little longer. That is your personal choice. This is the time to trim your neckline anyway. This is the border where your beard transitions into your neck. You can do this yourself or you can of course also make an appointment with the barber. Honestly? Go to the barber. He will use a straight razor because you can define much better with that. And honestly? A straight razor is not for do-it-yourselfers. It requires utmost concentration. Moreover, you give the barber more repair work if you start fiddling with your beard yourself.

    Tip 3: Leave bald spots as they are - You may notice bald spots at some point. Don't panic, this usually grows back. Your hair doesn't grow at the same speed everywhere. Some hair follicles are simply less active than others and need a little more time to grow. In addition, the bald spots will automatically be covered by the other hairs when the hairs get a little longer. Again, you won't get a full beard in a jiffy. If you continue to have bald or thinning spots, even after months of saving, caring for and maintaining them, this certainly doesn't mean that you can't grow a beard. After all, there are many different beard models. In that case, Julien the barber can advise you on which model suits you, depending on where you have less hair growth.

  • Tip 4: Use a beard shampoo or beard soap - After a few days, you will start to experience severe itching . Every beginning beard will itch and irritate. You can't avoid this when you want to grow a full beard. This is because the body's own oil goes to the beard hairs, which dries out the skin and makes it irritated. A beginning beard also has sharp and hard hairs that prick against the skin. This worsens the irritation even more. This is often the moment when many men start to doubt and lose their patience. But don't give up. Persevere and follow the advice. Use a beard shampoo or beard soap to wash your beginning beard. These products will not only cleanse the beard and the underlying skin, but also hydrate it. This prevents the skin from drying out, which will greatly reduce the itching.

  • Tip 5: Use a beard brush - There are dead skin cells on your skin that form flakes and end up in your beard. This causes itching and skin irritation . In addition, the nutrients from the beard products are less well absorbed by the skin if there are dead skin cells and flakes. By regularly brushing it thoroughly with a beard brush , you remove all those dead skin cells, just like with a scrub. This makes your skin nice and fresh and it is better able to absorb the nutrients from the products. Itching and irritations will decrease and your beard will feel softer and get a nice healthy shine. A well-brushed beard will also look better because it looks fuller.

If you get through this week without any problems, there is a good chance that you will reach the finish line and that you will become a real bearded man with a beautiful full beard. The hardest part is behind you. From now on you should definitely start using a beard oil. This nourishes and hydrates the hairs and the underlying skin. This prevents the skin from drying out and reduces itching . The oil also softens the hairs so that they no longer prick the skin as much. You can distribute the oil with a beard comb or a beard brush .
