    Honestly I feel like its best to start growing your hair with the sides, that way as it gets longer you can decide whether or you want to cut it

  • @chocolatecoils8200
    @chocolatecoils8200 Před 6 měsíci +2

    It’s so crazy because I gave myself an undercut because I liked the way it looked on you and then boom you started growing your sides. Now my undercut is def low in the back but I have a tapered hairline and above beard lineup is gone too. I kinda like the look but I do miss the possibility of having the full head of hair rather though it does get full. I think I need to wait till my hair is longer because the cut does allow me to have a more defined hairline and still shape up my beard yet having a clean look on top…hmm we’ll see

      I'd say wait another month. If you get it too early the short hair will loosen from the braid and the style will look 100% worse. Trust me speaking from experience.

      nah but I will say your journey will be harder than mine. You don't have the long hair to cover it. I t's only cause of my longer hair that made this journey remotely easy. If I was in ur shoes I would just even it out - sucks but at least you got the experience so hair growth wont seem super long. Or cut your long hair down to like 3-4months so you don't have to be in the scruffy stage for so long.

      Rub the garlic in the place of the blanks in your beard for a month and your beard will grow. You can Google the benefits of garlic for hair growth, try it and let me know in a month. You can also consume zinc pills. The recommended daily dose is 11 mg will also help.
