Any tips for growing a thicker beard?
Just like the topic says. I can grow a goatee, but the hair on my cheeks is pretty sporadic til it hits my hairline. Right now I'm rocking a porn stache with a goatee and a soul patch, but I'd like to be able to really grow it all out. Any advice Otter?

I couldn't grow a good beard if I was chained to a dungeon wall. I think some men have the genes, some don't.

Try rubbing Chia Pet seeds all over your face. If that doesn't work and you grow a plant beard instead, please, please, please let me grow some tomatoes on your garden beard.

I highly suggest 1000w HPS+MH Cool Tube Reflector Digital Ballast Grow Lighting, but LED has become quite popular in recent
Wait, what....?

Do you have a beard trimmer? You might be able to trim it to a certain length and over the course of time have your beard "fill-in."
If your hair is patchy then there is probably not a lot that you can do.

I didn't even bother looking under the join date. Just saw the join date and it threw me off. I assumed it was when X lost his virginity or something. I don't even know how old X is. He could be 13 for all I know.

Focus. Really really hard.
Mine was thicker before I got fat [again]. I think that it has something to do with surface area on your face (like the distance between pores or something).

Eat lots of ice cream and thick soups and let it get caught in your beard. Try to eat ice creams and soups that are already the same color of your hair.

You're probably lacking some minerals and essential fatty acids. Try a multi-vitamin and some omega3 fatty acid. Also, scrub your skin and brush your beard daily to stimulate the hair. I'm currently trying to grow out my hair (on my head) and this is what the ND has me doing. Good luck

Lots of masturbating. No wait...that's for hairy palms.
How about using Minoxidil on your face? Some people reported varying degrees of success

Re: Any tips for growing a thicker beard?
I can tell you that Minoxidil does work, but other areas too will grow hair so becareful.
Shave your balls, get some Elmer's glue and put a thin layer on the areas you want to thicken.
I can post pictures in great detail if you like. I've done it before.

Re: Any tips for growing a thicker beard?
Actually, try trimming it (or whatever you got) every 3-4 days, but not completely.
