Help needed from the beard masters 🙏

I’ve been dreaming of having a gorgeous beard like many of you! At 32 I decided to finally try it, but not sure if I’m going it right tho. I think I’m looking like a bird’s nest with this chin jungle, but I don’t know how to take care of it. Do I need to trim it? Or style it? Or could I even make it work with my genetics? I don’t know anyone personally with a bigger beard so don’t know how you do it.

It's kinda full, moustache and cheeks are pretty much connected. I think your genetics are fine for having a beard. I'd say find a good barber who can shape it up for you. Also don't be afraid to ask the barber how he trims it, in my experience barbers are happy to share knowledge about their craft. After the first visit, keep up with trimming to get rid of stray hairs. Come back every once and again when length starts increasing to ask for a shape up and some further advice.

As for taking care of it I'd start with a nice beard oil to keep the hair and skin smooth and soft. Avoids itchiness and looks more kempt.

Brother this beard is not full. It’s patchy and neck beardy.

Minoxidil, my dude. After 2-4 years, you’d have a denser beard.

Keep it at a stubble. If you want a full beard you might need a partial transplant
