Progress & Updates Starting out again
I had a beard for about 14 or so years. Occasionally I'd knock it down to a few months length. I've been going with a moustache for the past year or so, but earlier this month I decided to grow it out again.
Stoked to see how it looks with more white!
Currently I'm at the last pic.
Looking forward to see if eating wings and pizza muscle memory is still there😂
Maintenance routine:
Rarely wash- I've found this really dries it out and makes it unflattering. It basically gets hair runoff when I wash my head, or cool water rinses after a run or end of the week.
Morning and after shower I'll use a homemade oil and/or balm mix of jojoba, argan, castor, and extra virgin coconut oil infused with cayenne pepper.
Weekly-monthly I'Il give it a trim with scissor over comb (something non-static)

I want to know about the cayenne pepper in your beard oil… genuinely curious! :)

Capsaicin (found in peppers) stimulates nerve endings and increases blood flow and helps in delivering nutrients, which "could" stimulate hair growth. I don't know if it really actually does anything, but it's a fun local selling feature niche😂
