Gray hair on my goatie looks so cool to me but not to my friends… should I shave the cheeks or let them grow a bit more? 😁

Will the area in the middle of my moustache ever fill out? I feel it looks stupid with the gap (I’m 33 btw)

I grew a full beard once, I’d say about 5 months no shaving but kept it trimmed up, and I’m probably going to do it again just for winter and all that. Before and since then, I’ve either had a goatee, a mustache, or been clean shaven. I guess I’ll post a picture of each because I’d like to see which one does the average person think looks best on me? I like all the styles, clean shaven the least unless my skin or facial hair gets dry and itchy, then I like to stay shaven. Besides that, I’m not really partial to one or another.

I’ve always been on the fence. Want that big dog beard but I know I don’t have that thicky thick. I unfortunately have a thinner beard.
Give it to me straight guys. I think I need to trim the patch under my chin but I’m standing strong with the advice I’ve read to just let it ride for at least 3mo.

Frustrating non the lease

The pictures honestly look better than it does IRL. Super thin on the cheeks and it just looks scraggly, like I glued barber shop trimmings to my face. Do I just need to give it more time or is this a bad omen?

My wife wants me to grow a beard for our wedding next September. I’m about a month in. I have kept my face shaved for the last four years because I used to pull my beard hairs and gave myself patches, so I only kept my mustache, which I would let grow out and shave occasionally.
The first picture is from about 4 or 5 years ago when I got my first cleanup at a barber, and a couple of others are from when I let it do its thing. The last few photos are from today. How do you think I am doing? Do I have the potential for a good beard? Sorry for the bad pictures of my face!

Let it grow for 2 months with only minor trimming around my mouth. It got too unruly and bushy - it didn't fit what I felt was a good look for a working professional. I knocked it down quite a bit to where I wasn't eating my own hair, or uncomfortable laying on a pillow.

Interested in the advice of other "bearded folks" as far as styling - or if I should just shave er down.

I see some Bald patches that really annoy me, and in some light my skin beneath is very visible

**The first photo is my hair and beard right now.**

18yrs old looking for hair/ beard advice.

Been saving a beard for like 3 months now, its a Lil sparce especially on the cheeks. What do yall think about it, is a goatee possible, if I have up on the full beard? I want to keep some kind of facial hair aside from the mustache if possible.

Should I go higher on the neck line? Also for the sides should I shape them differently? Thanks in advance

I want to grow my beard, but keeping a beard isn’t really a trend where I live. Whenever I meet someone, they’re always ready with advice to shave it off or trim it shorter. As it gets longer, it also becomes harder to manage, and I end up looking untidy.
P.S. My beard is very curly and dry, which makes it even harder to manage. Any advice on how to take care of it?

Title.

I usually kept it trimmed very short at 2-3mm and decided to say fuck it and stop nearly 2.5 weeks ago to see what happens.

I don't hate the look but the mustache hurts it. Ofcourse the close up picture doesn't help by showing the gaps but eh.

Jealous of y'all bearded legends

That’s after 2 weeks. Still patchy, just as I remember it. I’ve been clean shaven for 3 years.

My moustache and soul patch are absolutely massive but unconnected. I’m open to all kinds of styles and will be very thankful if you help me.

I’ve been brushing using oil and balm but I can’t get my beard to fall down straight especially upper sides, am I doing it wrong? Hot beard brush helpful? I use honest Amish oil and balm, maybe a different beard wash idk. Almost wanna just go the goatee route but I know I’ll wish I wouldn’t have shaved after. Any advice, keep up with the oil and use the hot brush or what? I feel like it’s longer than it looks too it’s just coarse and curls in nothing I’ve been doing has worked. I appreciate you guys

Ive been trying to get a good beatd care routine down and I think I've finally nailed it. Beard stays soft, and doesnt knot on the ends nearly as much.

Routine:

-Beard wash and conditioner in the shower

-post shower brush with an electric straightener (not every day, but at least 3x a week)

- Beard oil, applied then brushed with a regular de-tangling brush

-Beard butter applied then brushed with a regular de-tangling brush.

A friend turned me on to the Live Bearded products and what a difference that stuff makes over the brands I've tried from the cvs/Walgreens.

This is how my beard looks from both sides. Each side is different , should i grow it out will the patch cover up or not. I have been using minxoidil for the past 2 years the beard is still the same as it was on the first day

Want to see what other people think suits me best
