How To Grow A Perfect Beard For The First Time In 7 Easy Steps

Even when you’re a beginner or a 20-year veteran of the game, these tricks and tips are all useful for you to have a dream beard - a fuller and softer one. No matter what styles you’re sticking with, you will be amazed at how they work on your beard.  

1. Make A Plan

Before getting started, the first thing you need to do is to make a clear and specific picture of how your beard looks. Different types of beard styles work on different kinds of faces. If you have a rectangular face, you will need a short beard with fuller sides to widen your face. On the contrary, a square and wide jaw can be softened with fuller under-patch and trimmed sides.

2. Be Patient

The most challenging part on the way to your dream beard is time. The beard that you could be able to grow can be way beyond your expectation. Most people usually give up halfway after their first patchy month. If you keep going the path, you will see the difference in the second month when scraggly, and thick beard hairs grow out and fill in the patches. The following tips will help you get a defined beard from the early stage.

3. Shave The Perimeter

If you think the growing beard is just about waiting for it to grow, a beard is not for you. In fact, you need to take care of it right from the start. Pay attention to cheek and necklines. It takes a lot of effort to maintain them, and you have to start from the very first weeks. This step will depend much on your intuition, but the beard-stencilling tool can be helpful to draw sharp lines.

When it comes to the neckline, here is an easy trick to smash it. Lay two fingers above your Adam’s apple. Trim along the imaginary “U” shape from behind your ears to the jaw with your fingers on the middle of the line. This is your neckline, the key factor which defines your beard.

4. Supplement Your Beard

Just like hairs on your head, adding supplements will enhance the quality of your beard thanks to vitamin and biotin. It not only strengthen and soften the hairs but makes it grow faster without generating any new hairs.

5. Use A Conditioning Styler

The quickest way for a soft beard is conditioner. It comes in various forms of products such as balms, beard oils or creams. Pick any of them and massage your whiskers with it, at any stage of growing beard, to make it soft and thick. It also eases shaving and reduces friction. In addition to that, conditioner is also a kind of styler with which you can put things into the right place.

6. Brush It Out

This step is vital for those who have long beards as brushing your beard frequently will make it healthy and tamable. Through brushing, your natural oil in the skin which is only produced at the bottom of each hair will be evenly distributed. This step maximizes your hairs, prevents split end and breakage. In addition to that, brushing will party help you tame your aggressive hairs. However, you still need the support of a beard comb for styling finishes.

7. Pick A Style

If you’ve followed all the steps and rules, congratulation! It is only one step ahead for you to get your dream beard. Let’s add some shades to your beard by picking up a style and sometimes make a little change to look different. There is a lot of option to go with but consider if it can flatter your face or not.
