Congrats on your decision to grow a beard! The main thing to do is give it enough time to fill in. Beard density varies a lot from one individual to another. Some guys have beards that fill in quite rapidly. Others take more time, but fill in nicely. Others may be too sparse to ever look filled in. So just let it keep growing and see how it does. Three weeks is still fairly early. Thanks for your kind words for beards.org! We are here to help. Hang in there. Good luck to you. Hi, Capa.

I have recently decided to grow a beard and by the looks of a lot of posts my feelings differ from that of most new beard growers. My worries are not to higher cheek line or to lower neck line but rather the opposite. If I'm going to grow a beard a want a really thick beard, like Pauls powerful beard in the featured beard section or a Zach Galifianakis style beard. My concern is that I have even coverage all over my face, but it's not that thick. I'm 3 weeks in and the hair is reasonably long but not thick and full. Can I expect it to fill in or will it just continue to get longer? Any tips on achieving this type of beard. I apologize if I have posted this in the wrong place or asked something that has been asked before. Also I would like to say how much I appreciate this site, it's very informative and helpful but also supportive, as I'm getting little to no support with my beard choice from family and friends. Thanks again for the site guys. I'm out. Capa. Hi all. I have recently decided to grow a beard and by the looks of a lot of posts my feelings differ from that of most new beard growers.

How's it growing now? johnnywindows: Thanks for your advice, but I don't recommend messing with the cheeks and neck early on. That's usually the number-one recipe for disaster for new beards.

That way you instantly have a beard effect and don't look just scruffy. I personally can't bear hair on my lips from a moustache so that gets trimmed twice a week, the rest is left but I carefully trim off the tufts that develop in the sideburns with un-guarded clippers- CAREFULLY! As the beard grows I leave a tiny margin un-shaved so the beard spreads gradually until it is full, I also keep the neck in check as it grows much faster than the cheeks- in my case.
