Want To Grow A Beard?

But have no idea how? Just hit your puberty and facial hair starting to appear? Want to look as man as your full bearded neighbor? Now you can too!

Growing a beard has been traditionally viewed a masculine activity. Men with beard has been viewed as wise and has high status in the society. However, men with beard can also be viewed as dirty and broke. It depends on how much attention you pay to it.

All across history men has shown great respects for the beard. The Mesopotamians, the Egytian,  the Greeks, even in the 15th century beard was worn long. In Greek Mythology, older gods with more power like Zeus, Poseidon and Hades were shown with beard.Long beards were common in the Civil War.

Therefore it is no wonder that when a man grows to an age where they are able to grow a beard, most opted to do so.... at least for the time being. They may grow out of it, but they never fail to try it.

Join me, as I show you how you can grow a manly in the shortest time possible.

How To Grow A Beard 

Now, before you read this, there is one requirement. You have to be growing facial hair already. No facial hair = no beard. Period.

For those of who does grow facial hair.

First, you must stop shaving for at least a month. What I mean by stop shaving is.... STOP SHAVING. Not even one bit. Depending on how fast your facial hair grow and what style you want, it might take less than a month but to be safe, let's just let it grow that long.

Second, know when to start growing a beard. Have an important interview for a better job? Half a brain should tell you not to do it. A more relaxed time is best, like a vacation.

Third, it's your face. No matter how hideously ugly you look during the growing period, don't pay any attention to people reactions. People close to you will know what you are doing, strangers on the street will not recognize you the next you meet them.

After a month is over, you would have enough facial hair to shape to any style you want. Do not take a scissors and start shaping like professional *inside* you. Start with your neckline. Depending which style you want achieve, different neckline is needed.

You probably do not need to shave the hair on your cheek, unless of course it is blocking your view.

If your skin itch, use a shampoo to was your beard. The same shampoo you use for your hair is fine. You skin will eventually adapt to your new manhood.

Maintaining Your Manhood 

A beard trimmer is necessary. Trimming your beard will be a similar ritual to your wife's visit to the manicure parlor. Don't let your beard stray because it's frustrating when you just can't seem to tame it.

Before you trim though, make sure your beard is dry. A wet beard is longer and you might have trimmed too much. Remember to learn how to use your beard trimmer. Buy one which lets you adjust how closely you want to shave.

After you are done trimming, then maintain the shape of your beard. Remove the trimming guide of your beard trimmer. Be very careful not shave too much... or shave off your skin.

Consider yourself warned.

Suggestion For You Beard-Grower-To-Be 

A little tip from me to you

Before growing a beard, show your your other half how it would look like. Confirm with her that she's supportive of your plan.

Having man who has a beard can be very irritating for the ladies, at least at the beginning. It can be really itchy for the ladies when you as a couple are making out. It can be really itchy when she has her face near your face.

If you have acne prone skin, growing a beard would probably worsen the condition in the beginning. You will notice increased acne activity around your beard area.

Beard is not a license for you to stand over another beardless man. It may sound ridiculous now, but when you spent so much time on your beard, it can feel that you have achieved more than others have. It can feel like you have achieved a level to stand over others.
