So it's time to grow a full Beard. But that's something you need to do in a certain way. Of course, it's also an option to just let your Beard grow without doing anything to it, but then you look more like a wild caveman.
In this article, we are happy to share our best Tips & Tricks to grow your Beard in a stylish, well-groomed way. We discuss the importance of patience, testosterone levels, Beard Care, and beard fillers to get that perfect Beard.
Patience is a virtue: Let it grow
The most important and basic thing to do is simply have patience. How long does it take for a full Beard to really be full? Well, that takes quite a while. It's not that you wake up with a glorious Beard overnight (unfortunately). Growing a full Beard takes time, for some it takes longer than for others. Usually, it takes about 30 days. Every Hair on your Face grows at different speeds, which means some parts of your Beard grow faster than others. So hang on, you have to get through it for about a month. Don't give up on your beard.

Testosterone for Beard Growth
Testosterone is an important hormone in hair growth and can help stimulate the growth of your Beard. Increasing your testosterone level can be done in various ways:
- Healthy diet
- Regular exercise
- Regular sexual activity (including masturbation)
Beard Care: Hydrate and care for your Beard
It is important to attentively care for the Beard with a high-quality Beard Oil or Beard Balm. This prevents the Beard from drying out and promotes hair growth. Also, comb your Beard with a special Beard Brush. This stimulates the skin under the beard hairs.
When your Beard is long enough, it is important to regularly wash it with a good Beard Shampoo and Beard Conditioner. These positively influence hair growth, calm your itch, and care for the underlying skin. It is also important to scrub well occasionally to remove dead skin cells. Then your skin can breathe more and better absorb the nourishing ingredients of your Beard Products.
Avoid excessive Shaving
Throw away your Shaving Accessories like your razor and shaving brush Out of the way. At least, as long as it doesn't come near your Beard. Excessive Shaving can slow down hair growth and can also cause potential irritations such as redness, itching, and acne. You need to let your Beard grow in peace. Especially in the first 4 weeks, no razor should touch your Beard. Therefore, try to only Shaving where necessary and trim your Beard with precision. So let it grow and flourish and look proudly at the development of your beard hairs.
Is it starting to itch? That's normal. Tame the itch with a Beard Brush and leave it alone. If you use your Beard Brush often, clean it regularly. Of course, you don't want to brush your Beard with old dead skin cells. Only products that are Fresh and fruity may touch your virgin-Beard!
Maintain the contours
Around the 2nd week, your Beard will already be a bit longer. To ensure you don't look like an untamed beaver with rabies, you need to maintain your Beard to keep it neat. It's important to keep the wild growth on your cheeks, neck, and throat in check with a Trimmer. It doesn't have to be tight, it doesn't have to be perfect, but keep it a bit in check.
Trim your Beard
When you've been growing your Beard for a few weeks, it will eventually become quite wild and unmanageable. Even if you keep your wild growth well maintained, the Beard itself will eventually become shapeless, long, and the hairs will go in all directions. Therefore, it's important to trim your Beard at this point. Trimming a full Beard can be done with a Hair Clipper, but we prefer a Beard Trimmer. Use a Trimmer that can specifically be used for your Beard. Another option could be to use a Beard Scissors. During trimming, we also recommend using a Beard Bib.
Make sure you find the right length and choose the right attachment for the Trimmer. It's better to start with a longer attachment, and if it's still too long, you can always use a shorter one. Better this than the other way around! Ensure a steady hand, as a shaky hand can ruin your masterpiece from the past weeks in one go.
Time to (have) your full Beard styled!
YOU DID IT! After a few weeks, you have your beautiful full Beard. Now it's a matter of choosing which direction you want to go. Do you want to keep it at this length but adjust the shape? Then you have two choices. Either let the barber do it and have them look for the best shape for your Beard and Face, or start working on it yourself. This can be done with a Trimmer. Do some research and watch some YouTube videos if you're inexperienced.
Use beard fillers for a fuller look
If your Beard is a bit thin, it can be tempting to give up and immediately Shaving. But nowadays there are so-called beard fillers that look like small fibers that can be added to the thin spots of your Beard for a fuller look.
Maintain your full Beard
Maintenance is naturally done on one hand by trimming your Beard every so often and maintaining your contours. On the other hand, you maintain your Beard with good products. If your Beard is a bit longer, you can use a good Beard Balm. With a Beard Balm, your Beard is easy to style. Of course, a Beard Oil is always recommended for the health of your Beard. Is your Beard becoming nicely wild and long? Then use a Beard Wax to shape even the wildest hairs.
