Full beard – valuable tips for your beard

We believe that wearing a full beard should not be a matter of trend. A full beard is a life choice, not a fleeting fad. Every man who wants to wear a full beard should simply do so. Read the points below, reflect for a moment, and consider whether you want to be a full beard wearer.

Basic requirements to become a full beard wearer:

➔ Stamina. You won't have a perfect full beard after one week.

➔ Scratch resistance. A nasty evil that comes with a growing beard is that it can itch. Especially the beginning is hard. As always.

➔ Self-confidence. You won't always like your reflection. Especially during the growth phase.

➔ Good, high-quality care. Water is not enough. Not even distilled.

Ultimately, your will counts. Sure, gaps that make your beard look patchy are not necessarily the result you want to achieve. But there are aids for this too - and ultimately, only the过渡 phase is the big challenge. We will help you step by step to get your ideal full beard, genetics or not.

How long does it take to grow a full beard?

Stamina, remember? Depending on the person, it takes a different amount of time for everyone. Beard hairs grow on average 0.3 - 0.5 mm per day - so it can take a few weeks to get a full beard. During this time, gaps can appear because your hairs grow at different speeds. Itching is a common companion, but you can also prevent it. If you have decided on a full beard, then now is the time to put all possible razors aside.

Let it grow!

Allow about four weeks for this entire process - give or take. If you monitor your beard growth and know how many mm your beard grows on average, you can roughly calculate it beforehand. If you feel uncomfortable or if one hair grows twice as fast as all the others, you are of course allowed to trim a little. However, we do not recommend it, as the progress you have made can quickly be destroyed again.
Don't stress if it takes a little longer than expected. There are a few tips and tricks that can help to accelerate your beard growth.

It's slowly getting there!

Longer stubble appears, the classic 3-day beard develops into a 10-day beard. Here, pay attention to regular care to prevent itching and to provide your beard with all the important nourishing ingredients - then it won't look quite so wild.

Support your growth: Care is key

A beard shampoo and beard oil are a great beginner duo. Please don't use your regular shampoo, as it will only dry out your beard hair and the skin underneath. You should wash your beard at least once a day; it's enough to use shampoo every 2-3 days and otherwise stick to water. High-quality beard oils not only nourish your beard but also the skin beneath it. However, 2-in-1 beard and face creams are also available if you prefer that. Focus on natural cosmetics – your beard deserves the best. Gentle brushing promotes circulation, which can even stimulate beard growth. A clear win-win situation.
