Top 5 Biggest Beard Mistakes Men Make While Growing Beard

Beard doesn't always grow the way want. It turns out to be so unruly that it even has the tendency to drive you nuts. In fact, growing a beard is one of the easiest phases, but taking care of them once they are fully grown to your satisfaction is one of the most challenging phases of the entire process. Sometimes it could turn out to be such a challenging and time-consuming job, that you might even decide to get rid of your beard.

Now, mistakes are bound to happen, but it is not as hard as you think it is to grow a beard. And with enough patience in your bag, you might even possess one of the most irresistible beards that one has ever seen. So to fill your bag of patience and to guide through the hardest phase, we are here with the 5 common mistakes that most men make while growing their facial hair.

1. Waging Your Beard Too Often

Yes, you read it right, everyone has this tendency to keep their beard as shiny and clean as they could ever keep. And trying to keep it clean comes with the pre-set mentality of washing it twice a day or even once a day. And that is the biggest NO and, the first and the foremost thing to avoid while you grow a beard.

The point of keeping your hair clean is very true, but as you clean your hairs even once every day, you tend to lose the new precious follicles that are growing. Also, there is the fact that you need to keep it clean from all this pollution and dust around you. So the best routine to stick with is to wash your beard every alternate day with your favorite brand of beard shampoo.

2. Letting It Grow Wild And Without Caring

You are trying to grow an impeccable beard. But you have to include a session of hair trimming into your routine to ensure that your hairs don't turn out to be unkempt or disheveled. You need to give it a regular shape and trim so that it starts growing the way you want them to grow.

Once you’ve conquered a month of maintaining your skin, growing your hair and fighting the itch to shave it all off, you should have a perfect canvas with which to sculpt a facial masterpiece. Of course, regular check-ins with your barber will help, but you’ll save time and money by putting in work at home, with nothing but a razor and a dream.

3. Trimming Above The Neckline

There are two types of men, one group just avoids their neck beard and then there is this other group who trim above the neckline. Both are one of the most ridiculous mistakes that men commit when growing a stubble. You have to make sure that the neck is visible and to keep a curved line also not to cut it too deep that it is way above the neckline.

Make sure that you've got everything you need: Scissors or clippers, comb, towel, and any products you plan on using. You'll also need a reachable outlet if you're using electric clippers. A multi-angle or three-way mirror can be helpful in seeing the hard-to-reach areas of your hairs.

4. Forgetting To Brush Your Stubble

One of the must-do things while growing a long beard is to brush it very regularly. Brushing your stubble regularly will keep it healthy and soft. Also, make sure that you use nice beard oil to give it enough of the nourishment that it demands.

Following the grain of your beard's natural growth, guide your comb through the hair growing along one side of your jawline. Start at your ear, moving down towards your chin. Don't "fluff out" the hair by combing against the grain. Comb your hair straight. You can always fluff out your beard later with your hands.

5. Losing Patience

As mentioned earlier, you need to give your beard enough time to flourish. It's not an easy job to grow a thick stock of impeccable facial hair but it ain't hard either. If you don't give it enough time and care then it would turn out to be another patchy bush that you want to get rid off.

Hope these 5 points help you achieve the facial beard you want. Stay tuned and Happy growing!
