Question

I am 17 years old I am not getting a properly-shaped beard. How can I get one?

Community Answer

That will depend on your genetics. Ask your dad, uncle, grandfather what age they were when they were first able to grow a beard. Some men have full beards at 14, while some men are in their thirties and unable to sprout anything on their cheeks. If you want a shorter style, opt for a pencil beard or a goatee instead. Don't worry, though, maybe you'll just have to wait another couple of years for your beard to finish developing.

What is the best length to grow stubble?

Community Answer

It's up to you. Leave your stubble at a length you like, or ask other people what they think about it.

Question

I am 22 and my beard is on my ear side not on my neck area. Tell me what can I do?

Community Answer

You can't do much, apart from being patient. It may be down to genetics as to why facial hair is not growing on your neck area. Ask any older male relatives how old they were when they first grew hair there, assuming they did. Some men just genetically cannot grow hair in certain places. Continue shaving your face and check back in a few months or years time to see if there is any difference.

Question

I'm 15 and I already have more stubble and I actually look good. But it is mostly on my neck and my chin. What should i do to make it look better?

If your stubble is patchy, shave it off. However, if it's all concentrated in one area, either be clean-shaven or maybe opt for a goatee instead.
