How do I start with the "Full Beard" mission?
Every start is difficult. Before you start the "Full Beard" mission, you should find out what shape your beard should have so that it suits your head.
The basic rule of thumb is: If you have a narrow and longer head, you should visually widen your head with full sides. The opposite applies to a rather square, wide face shape. Here, you should trim your sides at the jaw and let your beard grow at the jaw. This will make your head appear narrower. It's similar to hair or hairstyles.
How long does it take for my beard to grow?
If you ask a bearded person what their biggest obstacle was on the way to a proper beard, they'll probably tell you it was time. Maybe it's not as patchy beard growth as you think, and you just never got past the patchy phase.
In general, it's worth persevering. Fortunately, all beard hairs grow strong and thick and fill in uneven areas (and if it doesn't work for you, you can use our secret tip to activate your beard growth, close gaps in your beard, and get a thicker beard).
How can I make my beard grow faster?
If you want to shorten the time, it can be helpful to follow various tips.
Tip 1: Proper skin care
You can boost your beard growth by properly caring for your skin. Fundamentally, you should wash your skin, primarily your face, with lukewarm water in the morning and evening and apply a mild cream to your dry skin.
Otherwise, invigorating scrubs once or twice a week help to stimulate the skin and promote hair growth.
Tip 2: Nutrition is key
To stimulate beard growth, it is recommended to eat protein-rich foods such as poultry, fish, and eggs. In addition, you should pay attention to a balanced diet and consume all important vitamins and minerals. Zinc, iron, certain B vitamins like biotin, vitamin C, and omega-3 fatty acids are important. To achieve quick progress in beard growth and to let the beard hair grow, it is therefore recommended to pay attention to your diet.
Tip 3: Sex, sports & sun
The biggest enemy of beard growth is stress. To avoid hindering the growth of a full beard, it helps to avoid all stress. If you manage to get through everyday life relaxed and get enough sleep, your beard hair will thank you. In addition, a higher testosterone level helps you to strengthen your beard growth. This hormone is formed, among other things, during sex, sports, sunbathing, and through the intake of healthy fats.
Tip 4: Use beard growth products!
To support the growth of a full beard, it can be helpful to use a beard serum. It activates your full beard, can fill in gaps, and contribute to it looking thicker, fuller, and healthier. In addition, your beard hairs are nourished and become softer.
How to properly care for my beard? Our beard care tips
Now that the long-awaited full beard has finally grown, the next questions arise. How do I properly care for my beard? How extensive is beard care actually? Is daily beard care necessary?
No matter if it's a full beard, mustache, or sideburns. Beard care plays an essential role for a dense beard.
Maybe you know it too: your beard has finally reached a certain length and suddenly you feel an itch on your neck and face? Then you might still need to learn how to properly care for a beard. In the following section, we will give you important tips on how to properly care for your full beard.
1. Take care of your beard line
An important and essential factor in beard care is maintaining your beard lines. There is a big difference between just letting a beard grow and letting it grow in a defined and controlled manner. Basically, it is helpful to maintain your contours and trim your beard to achieve the desired shape.
2. Trim your beard regularly
In addition to the first beard care tip (maintain your beard line), a beard should be trimmed regularly to avoid irregularities in beard length. This makes the beard look neater and more groomed and helps you achieve your desired shape.
3. Wash your beard hair regularly
To avoid an annoying itch, you should wash your beard hair regularly with beard shampoo. It is advisable to treat your beard like your own head hair and wash it once or twice a week.
4. Use beard care products like beard oil
For many men, the appearance of their beard is particularly important. With the moisturizing effect of beard oil, rough beard hair becomes softer and shinier. With this effect, it can then be styled and trimmed better and faster.
5. Comb your beard hair regularly with a brush!
Especially men with long beards should comb their beard hair (preferably) daily with a brush to ensure the health and suppleness of their beard hairs. This is because the skin produces natural oils that, when combed, reach the entire length of the beard and prevent hair breakage, frizz, and split ends.

Which beard shape suits me? All tips around shaving your beard hair.
There are many different ways a man's beard can look. From a 3-day stubble to a well-groomed full beard, there are many different ways your hair can look.
So, which beard shape suits you? It depends on a few factors, such as the shape of your face, the thickness of your hair, and how fast your hair grows.
If you have a rounder head, you should opt for a beard that is shorter on the sides and fuller at the chin. This will help to balance your face and make it look more oval. If you have thick beard growth and also strong beard growth, you can get away with a bolder, fuller beard. But if your hair is on the thinner side, you should trim it closer to the face so it doesn't look sparse.
