Posted by JAW GIANT

Let's look at some of the most common questions people have when they embark on their beard-growing quest. We've scoured the internet to collate together and answer the most commonly asked questions we could find when it comes to growing and maintaining a beard - perhaps you've even asked some of these questions yourself.
Q: How Long Does It Take To Grow A Beard?
It takes about a month for your beard to grow to a suitable beard-like length. Your genetics, health and lifestyle do also determine the length and thickness your beard can grow to. Generally, it takes about 2 to 4 months to grow a full beard. Applying a beard growth oil daily can help speed up the growth process.
Q: How Much Grooming Does A Beard Need?
This one depends upon the style you choose, however, no matter what style you decide on you will need to groom your beard in some way or another at least once a week with some beard styles requiring grooming daily to keep them in tip-top shape.
Q: What Are The Best Beard Products To Use?
This question gets asked a lot as there are many options available in the market when it comes to beard products. You should ultimately choose products that will work best for you, your hair, your skin and your beard style. But, if you're stuck, the products we recommend for maintaining your beard for when you're just starting are; beard oil, beard balm and beard wax. These products are readily available in many stores and are usually reasonably priced.
Q: Which Direction Should I Comb or Brush My Beard?
Once you start the process of growing a beard, you will realise your facial hair grows in various directions. It's at this time you need to decide what direction you want to encourage your hair to grow in and bush or comb it in that direction and that direction only. However, the rule of thumb is to brush your beard with a beard brush or beard comb downward to help maintain a tidier look.
Q: When Will My Beard Start To Become Scruffy?
It all comes down to how well you maintain your beard. It will only become stuffy and untidy if you let it run wild. You can use the products we've listed above along with an electrically heated beard straightener to easily keep your beard looking the best it can.
Q. How Do You Deal With An Itchy Beard?
The terrible beard itch is what makes so many men decide against growing a beard. The hair growth can irritate the skin, which leads to an uncomfortable, itchy sensation. You can use a beard balm or beard oil to soften your beard hair to make it less irritating during the early growing phase. We also recommend regularly exfoliating your face as this will also help to reduce the dreaded itch.
Q: Will The Bald Patches And Spots In My Beard Fill Out?
Bald spots and patches in your beard are common and are determined by your genetics. As you get older, your beard hair will start growing in areas that were once hair-free. We recommend using a beard growth oil to help encourage growth in any patchy areas.
Q: How Often Should I Wash My Beard?
Washing your beard to often can make the hair dry, so it is recommended to wash your beard about twice per week using only a beard safe beard wash. However, having said that, you need to take care of your facial hair depending on your individual needs, for example, if you regularly work in a dirty environment, we would recommend 48-hour beard washing as hygiene should always take priority. Remember also to always condition your beard hair with a high-quality beard conditioner after each wash to help maintain its strength and softness and to replenish lost oils and vitamins.
