It can take about a month to grow a full beard, so be patient and let your facial hair grow out. Make sure you're eating a nutrient-rich diet and regularly exercising to help your beard grow in faster. As your beard grows in thicker, use electric trimmers around your neck and cheek lines to clean up the edges.

Wash your beard with shampoo in the shower, and then apply beard oil after to keep your hair healthy and hydrated. Regularly run a beard brush through your beard to help keep your skin healthy and encourage your facial hair to grow in fuller.

So if you're really trying to grow a beard, just see what it does on its own for a few weeks. And then if you like how it grows in, maintain it by edging up areas that you don't want it to grow in to give it a uniform shape. One thing to keep in mind is hair grows in various stages. Some hairs grow back immediately after a clean shave, but some take a few more weeks to grow and fill in patchy spots. Give it at least a month to see how your beard grows.

If you're a person with a more rounded face shape, you should wear your beard a little bit tighter in the area where it grows by the ears. In the cheekbone areas, trim it down with a slightly more of a blend so the face doesn't look as round. If you're a person with a slimmer face, you might want to have your beard a little bit fuller in the cheek area so your face fills in a little bit more.
