5 Patchy Beard Mistakes | Eric Bandholz

Eric is back on the channel to discuss 5 major beard mistakes that men with patchy beard often do. It goes without saying that there is absolutely nothing wrong with patchy beards. Just because you have a few patches in your face forest doesn't mean you can't experience the awesomeness that comes with being a beardsman.

#1. Not growing your beard out.
#2. Not giving your beard enough time.
#3. Comparing yourself to others.
#4. Don't fall for growth oil scams.
#5. Not taking care of your patchy beard.

Patchy beards need at least 4 months to show what they can achieve. By then look at your beard and carefully decide which style suits you the best according to it's density. Just keep short or shave the weak parts of it and keep well groomed the strongest. Love what you have and rock it.

I'm currently 22 and growing out my beard for the first time. I never grew it out before because it's pretty patchy. I'm currently about 2 months into my beard growth and what I have noticed so far is that the longer the beard gets the more the patches start to fill in and get covered up. I'm hoping that by months 4 or 5 that most of or all the patches will be covered up. All that to say that you never really know if you can grow a beard or not unless you give it a try, just let it grow for a few months without trimming it and you might find that you can actually grow a decent beard just like me, I never thought I could grow one before I gave it a real chance to show its potential.

I am a fellow patchy beardsman, and I have been on the beard train for about a year and a half or more. Everything Eric says in this video is right on point. Most importantly is #5. I have seen a major difference in my beard since when I first started and was uneducated on beard care. Great video for us patchies.

Eric saying he has a patchy beard reminds me of trump saying a small loan of a million dollars

I love the positive vibes on this channel. ✌️

It took me 5 months to grow my patchy beard.

Damn im jealous of Carlos Costa. Im not patchy in any way, but his beard is just so incredibly dense.

[baijunair]

Hes a genuine guy when he said he has patchy beard...I jus appreciate that part of his totally

My beard is patchy... especially around the sides. Personally I'm 6 months into growing around my goatee area and I've recently let the rest grow in for about 2 months now. Although it's not a great looking beard I'm happy to just grow it out, rock what I've got and sources like beard brand really give those of not naturally blessed with great beard DNA a lot of encouragement. Thanks Eric and the team.

🙌🏼 Preach! 🙌🏼 I am my own worst critic, I believe I should be president of the patchy beard club. No matter the nice compliments I’m getting on the beard growth, I still have self doubts on the growth and look. I’m 45, first time beard grower, I’m in my 3rd month and I wince at the areas I wish would grow in from one day to the other. Thanks to videos and forums like this right here, keeps my trimmer and shave blade away in the cabinet for another day.

Sounds true mate my beard was not looking so good at 3-4 weeks mark until I hit the 5 -6month mark and it was looking way better and thicker at that period of time .So beard takes time to grow Promise yourself that u would not give up before 6 month mark ....and u will be amazed what you can grow...

Great video as always. A barbershop series edition of emphasising strong parts / shortening weaker, patchier sections would be great!

[ButsonMed]

Appreciate the encouragement. Takes courage to grow it out when it doesn’t look great off the bat.

Thanks, Eric! I'm only sixteen but I've been growing for a while. Still got the patchy thing going, but now I have some tips. You've always made me feel better about having a patchy beard, even if it's not a full one! I'll continue to watch your content and I'm confident I'll have a beastly beard some day.
