The Teen beard

Over the years I've received questions about beards from guys as young as 11 and 12 years old. In this video I share my beard journey which started around 15 years old. Your beard development will be uniquely yours and will change as you grow older. When your beard starts to grow will be different than those around you. Genetics will play a large role into the development and rate of growth of your beard.

For me personally, it wasn't until my late teens that I had enough growth to actually wear some facial hair with some confidence. Through my 20's is when I saw the most development and into my 30's is when I had the confidence to grow my beard out fully with length.

I’m at a super frustrating stage right now where I *almost* can grow a full beard, but just... Not yet.

I just turned 19 with a full beard already, I consider myself one of the lucky ones

I'm 16 and I can grow a pretty good chin and decent sideburns and a mustache but my cheeks just refuse to connect...

Currently 20. I will be 21 in September. Right now I can grow a mean Amish style beard, my mustache, soul patch, and cheeks are still filling in. The hairs are there, and are slowly maturing. Also, you are absolutely right about patience. The key to growing an excellent beard has always been patience. For the longest time I’ve wanted to grow a beard, and as a teenager, I was always waiting for the day my beard would just pop in all at once. Obviously that day never came, but it taught me that patience is key.

Me a 15 years old (Pilipino) having a moustache. All the kids called me uncle already

I'm 16, middle eastern and white. I was surprised to see that some of my hair, especially on my chin, was actually red even though I don't have any other red hair.

My friend grew a beard in 8th grade as you said it wasnt fully thick and coarse but he had a solid beard and then on our senior year his beard is basically fully developed and a nice beard

This was one of your best videos to date. It really made me think about my beard journey. I was around 14-15 growing what I could grow. I wanted a full beard so badly. Around the age of 22 I saw how it would grow and the addiction began. Now I have a beard that grows very similar to yours now. Super thick but mines a bit more curly. You're also right about beards not being perfect. Once mine hits that length it fills gaps and gives it that full look. Having a thick beard helps a little though. Lol Thanks for everything John. Currently wearing citrus bay oil. My very first purchase in 2014.

I got my mustache when i was 13. And I'm 19 now, i can grew a beard but on my sideburns are patchy, I'm waiting for it to fill in.

This dude new I was looking at my beard while he was talking, beard guru right here

I have noticed that my moustache and beard grow very differently as a teen. The moustache is many short hairs, some darker than others. The beard is a few long, dark hairs.

Was a proud wearer of a chin beard for a long time. It was an integral part of my appearance when I joined at my first workplace. Now, many years since that day, I rock a full beard.

[chrisschmeitz]

It's different for everyone, a good friend of mine had a full beard, and i mean all over the face, from age 13 while i only started seeing a little bit of slightly darker hair in the mustache and i've got an invisible soul patch at 15

4:51 U srsly looked like Frank Ribery 😱😳

[donnysensat]

That brought back memories of my early beard days. Nice video...

[alexpitre]

I have grown hair all over my face except my moustache area since I was 12. Finally at the age of 20 I started growing black hairs on my moustache area. I am now 22 and rocking a full beard and I constantly am sprouting fresh follicles from above my upper lip. This video gave me alot of hope tho. Cheers
