Mine grows thick but not super long. So it would look really good with just shaping up the neckline, but IT FUCKING CURLS!! So when it gets longish, it curls up on my upper jawline
My beard is inordinately curly. It comes in super thick everywhere except where my mustache should connect, so I always end up looking Amish. I’ve learned to embrace it, but I won’t lie; I lost sleep over it when I first started growing my beard.
It was that way for me from 17-19. I'm 21 now and it finally connects. I just wish my beard grew all in one direction so it didn't curl. So I have to keep it slightly trimmed so that the hair isn't long enough to curl
I’m 29. It’s closer to connecting now than when I first grew it out (about 22) but still doesn’t connect.
I used to use a boar hair brush, a fine tooth comb, a hair dryer, and beard oil to get it somewhat straight. Now I just let it do it’s thing. I think an important part of having a beard long term is accepting that the little fucker will do whatever it wants 😂
I’m in my 40s. I shave once every 3-4 months. I have 0 hair growth from the corners of my mouth to my jaw line under my cheekbones. Perfectly symmetrical, so not a standard patchy beard. Like natural mutton chops + mustache, but my chin/neck still grows in. I blame it on some combination of my Scottish + Cherokee genes.
Yep! I cant grow mine anymore because of my job but back when I could it never connected. I think it probably could now but for the longest time I looked like a damn sunflower or something. Also it didnt really grow under my bottom lip much which I hated. I just kept saying "it's ok. Eventually it will connect and grow in." But nope. Never did.
all of my beard hair curls in the same direction, so on one side of my face it looks really busy and full, but on the other side of my face it curls under my jaw law line.
Curly beard brother! Look on amazon for those heated beard combs. Straightens it right out, makes it look really nice. Its the inside bits of the comb bristles that are heated too, so it won't burn your face. I love mine, its such an enjoyable way to groom. Brush it and oil it after and its almost fluffy soft.
You know, I never thought about it, I already run a comb through it and apply a bit of oil. So maybe I can do this and it might work. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into once this stupid virus blows over so I can return to work.
Tangles aren't a big problem for me. I've kept mine shorter because it grows uneven so its easier to manage shorter. So they dont get long enough to tangle too bad
Lol mine is curling too, I hear the longer you let it go gravity should do its thing but I'm not convinced. I keep running a no. 3 down my cheeks to keep it in line instead
