Full beard – valuable tips for your beard
We believe that wearing a full beard shouldn't be a matter of trend. A full beard is a life choice, not a passing fad. Every man who wants to wear a full beard should simply do so. Read the points below, take a moment to reflect, and consider whether you want to be a full beard wearer.

Basic requirements to become a full beard wearer:
➔ Perseverance. You won't have a perfect full beard in just one week.
➔ Scratch resistance. One of the worst things that comes with a growing beard is that it can itch. The beginning is especially difficult. As always.
➔ Self-confidence. You won't always like your reflection in the mirror. Especially during your growth phase.
➔ Good, high-quality care. Water isn't enough. Not even distilled water.
Ultimately, it's your willpower that counts. Sure, gaps that make your beard look patchy aren't necessarily the result you want. But there are tools for that, too—and ultimately, the only big challenge is the transition. We'll help you achieve your ideal full beard step by step, genetics notwithstanding.
How long does it take to grow a full beard?
Stamina, remember? It takes different amounts of time depending on the type. Beard hair grows on average 0.3–0.5 mm per day, so it can take a few weeks to grow a full beard. During this time, gaps may appear, as your hair grows at different rates. Itching is a common symptom, but you can prevent it. If you've decided to go for a full beard, then it's time to put all razors aside.

Allow four weeks for this entire process – give or take. If you monitor your beard growth and know how many millimeters your beard grows on average, you can roughly calculate this beforehand.

Don't stress if it takes a little longer than expected. There are a few tips and tricks that can help speed up your beard growth.

It's getting slow!
Longer stubble appears, and the classic 3-day beard develops into a 10-day beard. Make sure you groom it regularly to prevent itching and provide your beard with all the essential nutrients – then it won't look quite so wild.

Support your growth: Care is the be-all and end-all
Beard shampoo and beard oil are a great combination for beginners. Please don't use your regular shampoo, as this will only dry out the beard hairs and the skin underneath. You should wash your beard at least once a day; using shampoo every 2-3 days is sufficient, and otherwise stick to water. High-quality beard oils not only care for your beard, but also the skin underneath. There are also 2-in-1 beard and face creams , if you prefer. Focus on natural cosmetics here—your beard deserves the best. Gentle brushing promotes blood circulation, which can even stimulate beard growth . A clear win-win situation.
