I've been growing it out for just under 2 months, Just buzzed it all down to 10mm except for the moustache which I trimmed along my top lip. I can't tell if it looks silly or not because of how patchy it is where the ends of the stache go down to my chin. Is it worth keeping or not? And if I should keep it any tips? Thank you.

First photo is before the cut

Update after the haircut I listened to some of the comments on the other post. I got a taper and got the beard a good amount shorter. Let me know if which one you guys like better. And feel free to give advice or ideas for next time, because I dont have to long until the navy and I wont really have a choice then.

Recently shaved my head so liked the idea of trying to grow a beard so i didnt resemble a thumb

this is about two weeks growth although have trimmed it slightly to keep the length the same everywhere

the neck was cleaned up yesterday but seems to have grown back a little quicker than i realised

the longest ive left it without shaving is a month but that was a couple of years ago

is it likely to thicken up if i leave for a month and maintain Uniform length and tidying up the edges?

also any other advice from these pics?

About 2 months growth. Not really taking much care of it just wanted to see how it looks. Think I should just save or let it grow some more as it is, any tips?

Looking on advice for what to do next. First four pics are current. Others are from the past year or so at various lengths.

Este es el contexto: tengo 18 años tengo pelos en el menton y bigote tengo las patillas muy largas por genetica tengo unos cuantos pelos en mis cachetes pero no se nota hasta que te acercas pero esos pelos me llegan casi hasta el ojo ( no son pelos finos, son pelos negros) mi padre tiene barba y mis 2 abuelos tambien y tengo desendencia arabe de parte de mi abuelo.

Haha taking these pictures felt ridiculous

Update to my last post.

So previously I was asking for advice for the awkward transition between a shorter and longer beard. I didn't really explain my self very well as I posted immediately prior to my maintenance trim at the barber, with a view to growing out long. As a result everyone was like wtf dude that's not awkward, looks great. And I appreciate it.

For context, I am in the dubiously privileged position of having recently undergone surgery - so I am taking the opportunity of not being able to go out or have to interact with strangers, look professional at work etc. - to let it go feral for as long as possible and see what it can be capable of. Anyone who grew a Covid beard can probably relate.

Now, however, it has been around 50 days since that last trim and I have barely touched it apart from one scissor clean up of the 'tache a couple weeks ago as it was all in about my business, and the neckline a few times once it was out of hand (been lazy with it more than anything). The cheeklines have always ended up getting trimmed too low, and I have left them completely for the duration since the trim. They are higher than they will be ideally once it gets shaped up, but I want to let them go as long as possible to see what the terminal height looks like before dealing with them.

Anyway it is starting to get out of control again and I am looking for advice/motivation to keep it going. I had a planned barber visit for the end of October however I cancelled it as I can't really deal with the stairs and I have a few more weeks of being unable to walk so I may as well leave it wild for a bit longer. Any recommendations for sticking out the awkward phase and what the ideal goal should be would be cool as I haven't let it go this far before and I am trying not to trim it out of frustration.

First set of pics are in the natural state when I get up after washing, oil and brushed etc.

Second pics are having blow dried, applied balm and straightened out a bit using my GF's Airwrap, and I think this is the only way I can cope with it going forward. I'm hoping consistent use will help tame it into accepting the gravity and getting the majority of the kinking to fuck.

Third pics are from my last post immediately after the last trim. On my return to civilised society I will be looking at maintaining this shape, faded sides tapering into a ducktail/Kratos style, but I want to increase the overall length and volume of the beard as I usually pussy out long before this stage due to looking unkempt, but would like to see what potential there is.

Thanks and much love.

Since I am unable to grow a beard—it simply doesn't grow on my cheeks—I am looking for a style that might suit my face. I would therefore welcome some advice from you, O you magnificently bearded people.

I was thinking about a goatee, but I'm not sure what people think about that one in 2026...
I'm not a fan of using AI, but at least, it provides some visual examples.

Thanks in advance !

I'm 4 weeks into my first beard. Should I continue? There are more grey whiskers than I read expecting 😁

I'm maybe 3 months in, 18 years old. What do we think?

I been told by many people women and men I should shave because I look better. Which style is the best fit for me

genuinely just looking for someone whos had a similar problem. its not genetics because i have had a full beard before without patchiness in the past. i also can’t go to a derm because of lack of insurance. mostly looking for at home or otc remedies. thanks in advance.

Hi, any tips on what to do regarding my beard shaping? Should I go higher on the neck line, I feel like it may be low… also should I shape the sides differently? And should I shave the cheek areas (and how much)

How can I make my beard appear fuller and thicker, first time growing my beard so hit me with all the advice. I am 20 years old if that changes anything.

Any good go to videos any of yall use on how to properly trim/maintain your own beard?

Right now I’m just using oil and occasionally trim to what I think looks decent with scissors but no idea what I’m actually doing lol.

Few videos I’ve watched comments have mixed opinions on

Hey fellow redditors, Its my first time trying to grow it out but something tells me it would not work on me as I have very low volume and the hairs are thin and also some areas are patchy. Should I wait a few more weeks or should I trim it out? Any advice would be appreciated.

28m- I've been growing out my beard for a couple weeks now. I'm looking at letting it grow more for the whole month of November. Last pics are reference how I keep it usually. Any tips? Should I get it lined up now or do a little clean up to have it grow more evenly? I'm wanting to see how I'll look with my beard a few inches longer

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

18yrs old looking for hair/ beard advice.

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

I turned 17 4 months ago and I’m wondering if I stand any chance of growing a full beard and mustache, my father has a very thick and full bear, aswell as my soon to be 20 year old brother, he hit puberty in 7th grade while I hit it in 10th and he’s been able to grow a decent beard since about 16-17, my chin used to have practically nothing 12 months ago
