10 Beard Mistakes You're Probably Making (and How to Fix Them)

Thank you for bringing up the moustache point! Not enough people are aware of how having a small moustache affects the overall look of ones beard.

Legend! Good to see you

My method for a wiry grey beard like mine is to pat it with a towel after showering, but don't dry it. Add beard oil, then use a heated brush. Works great for me. Every beard is different, but I love my soft, smooth silver.

This man is a vital role model for me and my beard growing journey! The video explains a lot of mistakes I still make with my beard…although I’m only 20 😂 Keep the videos coming Daniel, you’re an awesome inspiration my friend!

I wish barber's would know about this. 90% barber's I encountered just straight up do the same style on everyone. I like to call it setsquare beard. Short sidebeard, no neckbeard. Unless I specifically tell them to NOT cut it cause I want full long beard they always do it. Forgot about this last time and said to my barber that I want to shorten it a bit so it looks fuller. Now my sidebeard and neckbeard is basically gone. Well... 2-3 months of grows went down the drain. Keep safe folks. Make sure you and your barber have the same vision for your beard

hey man!! I agree somewhat with the trimmed stache but the stache is all about personal preference. IMO having a trimmed stache gives the beard a much cleaner finish. Same with the neck beard Ive tryed leaving the neckline untrimmes and it works but IMO thats personal prefenence. I think these tips apply to people that want the biggest beard possible and dont care about how it looks.

I definitely recommend Bull dog beard oil and shampoo. The difference on how my beard feels without them is unruly. $5-10 State side. Oil lasts two months with a long beard. 6 months with a short beard. Shampoo would be a bottle every month or two.

My beard is approaching 2 years now. When I first started and got tips on YouTube it was all trim the neck and the cheeks, but I found that my neck doesn't even grow that low. It stays at right about the adam's apple. The cheeks. The first time I tried to trim that and make that line, I messed it up so bad that I shaved my whole beard off and started over. Now I don't even touch it really. I did just once, but it just grows naturally with a natural line there. There's really no need to trim it. (I think I trimmed it too low, as he mentions in the vid.) I like my mustache trimmed though, otherwise I think it makes me look older if I don't, and I don't want to look older. :) The sideburns... omg I did that so bad until, thankfully, my brother, who doesn't even have a beard and can't grow one told me, nah, bro that looks dumb. So now I hit it with a trimmer and guard every now and then. Though, the problem here is you can ruin the sidebeard length if you're not careful. It's still a learning process for me. Kent comb!

Sorry to say this, but I hate so much mustach. If I have too long (if I put them down and they go over my upper lip, I will cut them going little pit over my upper lip) and I would like to have better beard growth and bad mustach grow.

Also, play songs by "The Beards" to your beard. Just like talking to plants, playing a song by "The Beards" to your beard daily, can dramatically increase the length, happiness, and general beardness of your beard. BEARDS!

He is totally right: Overtrimming ist one of the biggest issus. Whenever I have the idea to put the growing beard into a cleaner shape, I end up cutting of way too much. Also the neckbeard thing: 100% true

About time I get a trim. My beard reached 6 months, kinda as long as yours in this. I use this beard and face wash, then beard and face lotion, then beard oil and beard balm. I put the excess lotion and oil on my head hair. I believe they are all under the same brand, though different from what you use. When I did my yeard, I used NO beard wash, lotions or oils. BIG MISTAKE! I was young and poor back then. I have no intention of doing another yeard, but having proper maintenance is amazing.

Good tips and I agree. Have grown 2 or 3 long beards and end up restarting so have learned most of these tips along the way. The fact you had to say a hair-dryer does not make you less manly makes me trust the tip more in some strange way :P

Good video! That bulldog beard oil has tons of vile ingredients in it though. I don't need highly processed soybeans and coloring on my face.

Mate This is so helpful 💪

Everything you said was fantastic! Except the Bulldog oil and butter. The Detroit Grooming 313 oil and butter combo would be a much better suggestion to everyone. Other than that great info.

Hello! First of all: That's a really good looking beard. 👍 I've been wearing a beard myself for the last 25 years or so but I've always kept it at a length of only about 1.5 - 2 cm. However, a couple of weeks ago I got the idea of growing my moustache (not directly above the lips but at the sides) in order to be able to create a handlebar. Everything worked out fine and now I have got what I imagined. But now the point has come where it has to be shortened a bit. Unfortunately I am not sure how to actually do it. Shall I comb it downwards and trim it, sideways and trim it, curl it into handlebar position and trim it... ? Maybe you have a good tip for me. I would really appreciate any kind of advice. 🙂 Sorry for my English. I'm from Austria, so it's not my first language.

What comb are you using? I didn't see a link for it in the description.

Grew my beard out for a year after surgery.... Finally trimmed it back to socially acceptable norms. (ie Lebron james style) and I feel so nekkid

I’d say avoid using any sort of heat especially for yourself as you have a dry beard as you mentioned in the video also you didn’t mention the use of wide tooth combs, they are to be used before you apply the beard oil
