How To Grow a Beard - 5 Simple Tips

The question most men ask themselves (or Google) at some stage in their life. You're not the only babyface around here. Not by a longshot. Men believe that growing a beard demonstrates power, wisdom, and maybe even the ability to swoon every woman (and man, actually) whenever you walk into the room. A beard signifies power, confidence, and competence. Every Man Jack loves everyone equally, but there's just something unequivocally special about a good beard.


So you want to know how to grow a beard? Well, you've come to the right place. Let's get started so you can be on your way to auditioning for the role of Khal Drogo's stunt double.


How Long Does It Take to Grow a Beard?

 

Tip 1: Patience & Persistence


Do you have patience? Good, because you're going to need a bit of it. Growing a beard doesn't happen overnight. The experts say that growing a beard will require you to maintain a distanced relationship with your razor for at least two months, but we hope the whole distancing thing shouldn't be a problem by this point.

Before we continue, Lawyer Man Jack suggested we give you a quick heads up: Sometimes, no matter what you do, growing a beard was never in the cards. You can rub honey on your face, shave 3 times a day, and deadlift three times your body weight, but for some guys, growing a beard just might not work out.

Anyways. Two months. That's how long your first beard should take to grow. It may look a little off and patchy in the beginning, but those growing pains build character, right?

Tip 2: Self-Care


Take care of yourself. By this, we mean: get quality sleep, exercise (lift heavy), eat right, and take care of the skin underneath that future beard of yours. Sleep, eating right, and proper exercise are the three legs that support the stool of life. But the stool of beards has a fourth leg, which is skincare.

Tip 3: Keep Your Face Clean

 

While the other three legs ensure that you're bursting at the seams with nutrients and testosterone, the fourth leg ensures that your skin is healthy and ready for that jaw-dropping beard.

Washing and exfoliating your face not only makes your skin look great, but it also clears up any blockages that will deter those stubbles from growing out. What we're saying is that well-hydrated and nourished skin is pretty much a necessity for growing a beard of any kind.

 

 

How To Trim a Beard While Growing it Out

 

Tip 4: Trim as it Grows

 

While it may seem counterintuitive to trim your beard as you’re growing it out, it’s actually an essential part of the process. Trimming your beard helps make sure the hair is growing in the right direction and in the right spots. Using our beard styling products also supports hair growth in the right areas. For the fullest and most even beard, cut off split ends as you see them, and trim away at areas that seem to have extra fullness.

Tip 5: Stick to a Skin Care Routine


The best part about growing a beard is not how much more masculine you'll look; the best part is how relatively easy it is to do. Caring for your beard is a quick addition to your daily routine, and if you've done the work to grow out a decadent face-bush then you ought to take a few minutes each day to maintain it.
