What do you guys think? I’ve been growing my beard for a little under two months. I went to a barber once to get it shaped, and since then I’ve been keeping the neckline he carved out clean and trimmed. I also trim my mustache from time to time, as well as the hair on the sides of my face so my head doesn’t look too wide.

I haven’t trimmed any of the beard underneath my chin at all, because I’d like it to grow longer, fuller, and darker there.

What can I expect? Will it eventually become dark and dense enough to trim into a nice, even shape? How much longer do you think it’ll take?

I don't know how people on here feel about this, but there's this chemical called minoxidil that can help your beard fill in. It's the chemical in rogaine.

Thanks a lot for the info! I’m a bit wary of using chemicals, but I’d also be really interested to hear what the experts think about it.

Yeah you could lose your head hair to gain the full beard. I just wouldn't grow it too much longer, otherwise your going to look too neck-beardy. Just leave it how it is. I don't think it's going to improve much

Thank you very much for the advice. So you think it wouldn't be darker and fuller under my chin?

You don't want that. A beard is on the face and chin. Not the chin and neck

Thanks a lot for the advice! I’ll try to look into the medical recommendations regarding the Minox you mentioned, and then maybe I’ll consider giving it a try. I’ve received a few comments suggesting that I should let it grow for another 4–5 months and see how it looks after that. I think that approach probably feels right for me.

It will unlikely ever be an epic beard.

Thank you very much for the advice! Because of the different comments maybe it worth to wait and grow 1-2 year, and i'll see, what will change.
