So I’ve been trying to grow a full beard, but my cheeks are always patchy. My chin and mustache areas are fine, but I can’t get that full look. Should I give up, or is there something I can do to fix this?
What helped me was following this guide on how to grow a beard that breaks down different growth stages and tips. I learned that a lot of guys give up too early — it can take 8–12 weeks before real density shows. Also, brushing daily and using castor oil made a difference for me. Don’t shave in frustration! Let it grow, keep it clean, and shape it as it fills in. Even if cheeks stay light, you can rock a great goatee or Van Dyke style.
