Beards.

[copacetic]

So, I am trying to cultivate one.

Man, this moustache thing, it's itchy and I feel like a paedophile.

My beard will never look like that, I have bald patches.

First timer?? the itchiness will pass - just hang in there!

These days I keep mine short,short. Lots of grey starting to show - not nice being called Oompie

If you're patchy... don't grow a beard.

 

[saor]

Heh - I've never been able to grow one. Only seem to have hair in a small area around my chin and that's about it.

 

[GreGorGy]

Use hair conditioner.

I tried when I was younger (a a result, my drivers licence is... interesting), but that was some time ago.

Well, it's not too bad, it's just the area under my mouth really.

Grow a huge goatee.

Use hair conditioner.

I will.

Have you just started growing it in or is already (for lack of a better term) established?

If your hair is longer I know I find as the hair just above my upper lip on the bottom of my moustache gets longer it tends to tickle my lip. I just trim that hair and allow the rest to grow. Has worked well for me over the years.

Oil works wonders to keep it moistend. Cream is a waste of time as it doesn't always reach the skin...

Welcome to my world!

The itch passes quickly. Just hang in there...

My beard took 3 years to grow properly but now it's around 15cm and well groomed into a Van Dyke style.

Holy glorious beard!

 

[googoodoll]

[XennoX]

I can't make it past 3 days before I get irritated with the itch and shave.

Remember guys, unlike other parts of your body, the beard can be as long as you like

Holy mother of god.

 

[ToxicBunny]

That is a spectacular beard...

 

[Nocturnity]

Um... No...

Luckily it takes all kinds. Some chicks dig beards, most don't. Some dudes dig fat chicks, most don't.

Que Sera, Sera

If your beard grows in patches, it could mean that your folicals are just slow on the uptake. Let it grow out where it can and trim it ever so often (short setting); almost like a permanent 5 O' Clock shadow. After a while you'll see it come along quite well and can start cultivating a proper beard. Have a friend that grows patches as well and it took him around 1 month before his beard started growing evenly, but it also depends on how quickly your beard grows.

There was this theory/hypothesis/story/rumour/study that eating bananas will increase the hair growth as well; something about bananas increasing testosterone levels. Dunno if it holds any truth or how effective it would be.

As for the itch, you'll get use to it, but try any type of conditioner. When you're in the shower in the morning/evening, apply some conditioner. It'll soften the hair, smell good and look healthy.
