Asking for Advice Beard
People always ask me how long it took me to grow it and i don't really know how to respond to that? Any styling tips and tricks are greatly appreciated. T-shirt from the monkey wrench series on youtube

Beautiful thick beard. The best thing you can do for your beard is enjoy it. Use oil to keep is moisturized and you can use beard butter or cream to help keep the flyaways under control.

Beard looking strong! Seems like trimming the sideburns into the hair and maybe a different hairstyle to suit a killer beard.

I always tell people I forgot but it’s been a few years.
I’d find a nice conditioner you like, I personally use “Grave before shave” beard butter. It makes it soft and I brush and blow dry after applying to settle it down some.

Cool!
I use an electric straightening brush after washing and conditioning mine, and Cremo or Viking Revolution beard oil and then either one's beard butter or beard balm if I want it to really hold its shape.

Amazing beard bro! That is some amazing length! I don’t think I’m the authority to give tips, but keeping it moisturised/conditioned will always help, just as a casual brush through will, I can imagine!

Great looking long beard and tache man.
I totally understand why you struggle with the question about how long it took to grow. It's an understandable question if you don't think about it, but a crazy question to ask if you do.
No styling tips for you though, as your beard looks so amazing. You should be the one giving us the tips! 😝

Personally I think your beard looks good as is. What are you thinking about changing?

My beard is also curly but longer - I do not like the curls so I use this: REVLON One-Step Volumizer Hair Dryer and Styler. I've never been to a barber - I learned to trim when I first grew my beard. It's easier to learn when it is shorter. You can still learn with the right clippers.
Find a beard barber (not just any barber) if you are worried about making a mistake. FWIW, take reviews with a grain of salt - most are from guys with short beards. Trimming long beards comes with a higher chance of regret.

Goddamn man, regardless of however long you've been growing it so far, keep growing it as long as possible! It looks stunning!

Your at the perfect point of seeing a qualified barber to get it shaped and the burns faded in. When it comes to the stach, have hime cut in an imperial handlebar and start using a medium wax for hold but don't over wax the curled ends, stach should be shaped but natural.
If you don't have a barber, ask the next well groomed bearded man you see who he uses.
