How To Grow A Full Beard

Moving into the stubble-level is one thing, but can you figure out how to grow a full beard? Facial hair on men, specifically a full beard, has always been a sign of prominence, wisdom, and leadership. Not many of us can grow a full beard. Want to join the legions of mighty, bearded men? Read on good sir.

Have this before getting a full beard:

• Good, beard-growing genetics
• Timing
• Self confidence
• Clippers (or a razor will do)

1. Don't grow a full beard before something important. Let's be real: no one at your sister's wedding wants to see that giant hair growing out of your chin. Regardless of how good it looks (we think so too) don't schedule your beard-growing before anything that will require a neat appearance. For example, funerals, job interviews, formal dinners, and meetings might not be the most prudent times.
2. Stop shaving, completely. This is the key point to understand when growing a full beard. The whole point of letting the hair grow out is to let it reach its "natural" length. The transition period won't be easy though.
3. Trim edges that grow out faster than others. For example, the neck and cheeks will probably have stray hairs that will make you look more like a hermit than a philosopher if your not careful. Trim these suckers so they don't ruin the overall vibe you're trying to give out while you grow a full beard. Typically, it shouldn't cost more than a few bucks to buy a razor at your nearest superstore.
4. Persevere. Probably the hardest step, don't give into the itchiness and awkwardness you might feel while growing your manhood out. The beard is a nice accessory to any man's persona, but the transition stages can be quite irritating. Going on vacation, for example, might be the opportune time to grow a full beard out without fear of social reprise. The itchiness, however, will still be present.

It's important to understand that a full beard doesn't grow itself out. Mental discipline is a key factor to help you grow a full beard. Who cares what others think while you're growing it? They'll be complimenting you come a few more months of dedication.
