hey guys and welcome back to the Tiege Hanley channel my name's Thomas or
better known on the internet as Thomas in action and today we're gonna be
talking about how to grow a beard the right way before we get started I did
just want to say I've only just recently completed a three month beard growth
journey of my own growing facial hair for the first time and finally I've
found a length and style that really works for me however I do have to say
there are a few things that I wish I knew before I started my beard growth
journey just to make things a little bit easier along the way and in this video
I'm gonna save you the hassle right here and now and run you through what you
need to know about growing a beard if you've been strongly considering it for
a while number one the rate that a beard grows is completely dependent on your
personal genetics okay so it's really important to keep this in mind that just
because your beard and patchy bits didn't grow out in three seconds like
Greg Burzynski's did doesn't mean you won't get there in the end you really
need to be patient with it and just let it fill in on its own with my beard
growth journey I wasn't even remotely happy or satisfied with my patchiness
until about I think the second month here's a couple of pictures if you want
to see that and I really think patience is something that you're gonna need to
prepare for if you're going to go through with this okay the second thing
is most big care products that claim to speed up hair growth don't actually work
as intended so again going back to point number one be patient and don't waste
your money alright I would hate for you to do that
the third thing is if you're unsure if this whole beard or facial hair thing is
even gonna work out for you I would give it a bigger purpose than just your
aesthetic pleasure okay do it for charity
like no-shave November or if you're a content creator like I am do it for your
audience once I made the commitment that I was going to grow my beard out for at
least three months it made it way harder for me to back out of it because a the
audience was now expecting the content and be I can't stand the idea of being
thought of as a quitter so I really think giving it a higher purpose than
just how you look is really going to help you stick it out and number four
don't waste your time with beard growth supplements either okay
the brands that are targeting you on Facebook about using their bite
to magically grow beard are just preying on you and hoping that you feel insecure
enough to buy their product which to be quite frank personally I think is quite
disgusting and in all honesty you're better off just knuckling down boosting
your diet boosting your exercise and trying to keep your testosterone and DHT
levels at a healthy medium so those are the four main things that I wanted you
to look out for before you get started on this journey and I'm sure if you
follow those tips you'll save yourself a bunch of time and a bunch of money
perfect now let's talk about the actual beard growth process and maintenance so
the first thing you're gonna want to do is stop shaving I know you didn't see
that one coming did you cliche once you decide that you're going
to actually go through with this pick a date and once you get to that date no
more shaving the only thing you're allowed to do if you absolutely have to
is trim and tidy up your neck area I did this on my beard growth journey as well
because under here can get really nasty and give you almost homeless man vibes
which nobody wants that okay to make sure you aren't shaving too high
get your rude finger and index finger and place them on your neck and put your
rude finger on your Adam's apple and that's your boundary okay any higher
than that and your beads gonna look funny and all the frustration that you
go through with growing it out will be for nothing and who wants that another
thing to remember when you're growing your beard is to keep the skin that your
beard is actually going from healthy and fresh just because half of your face is
about to disappear under a layer of hair doesn't mean the responsibilities of
keeping the area clean are going to disappear as well okay unfortunately
it's still there two of the worst things a guy can experience during this process
is beard dandruff and beard acne okay I actually found beard dandruff to be one
of the most uncomfortable most Ichie things ever and it was a really bad
experience if I'm honest so to ensure that you get neither of these things
just make sure you're exfoliating at least twice a week and use a daily
facial cleanser to prevent any dirt buildup and keep the path or the area
nice and clear and also make sure you're using a facial moisturizer to keep the
skin hydrated if you don't do these things
your are going to experience dandruff and be it acne and what's even
worse is your beard could end up growing even slower because just like in hair
world if the source of the hair isn't healthy the hair that comes out of it
isn't gonna be healthy either okay same goes for the beard in terms of products
for keeping you skin nice and clear during this process I recommend the
Tiege Hanley level one system it's the system that works for me and I like to
use it's super simple and has all the products that I just mentioned before
all in one package with instructions as well so it's really really simple okay
and lastly when it comes to keeping your beard in really good condition and
looking amazing you want to keep it as clean and soft as possible that's the
goal the best thing to do to achieve this is to invest in a beard oil and
stick to washing it with a beard shampoo once a week and conditioning at least
three times a week I know a lot right but washing and conditioning your beard
shouldn't really be a big ordeal either because you can get it all done in the
shower all you need to do is wet your beard with warm water apply your shampoo
you don't need too much just enough to cover the area and foam it up a little
bit and really get in there then gently massage it in a circular motion let it
sit for a few minutes to let the shampoo really penetrate and clean every hair
and then finally you just rinse it out like you would with your normal hair and
pat your face dry before applying your beard oil okay and for conditioning it's
pretty much the same process all you need to do is do it more regularly and
don't do it on shampoo day the reason I say don't do it on shampoo day is a
personal preference I just like my routines to be as uncomplicated as
possible so by separating them there's one less depth in the process and yeah I
feel like if you want to do yourself any favors you should do it separately as
well you get the same result and that brings us to the end of today's video
guys yeah if you follow everything that I just mentioned you'll be on your way
to growing a top notch beard in no time I really do hope you found these tips
useful and I bid you best of luck on your beard growth journey ahead okay if
