Beard Growth Stages
Week 1-2: Getting Started
The first few days are easy – just stop shaving. You may experience itching, which is normal and will go away.
Week 3-4: Critical Phase
This is where most men give up. The beard looks patchy, itchy and people around are commenting. Hold on! This is temporary.

The beard is starting to take shape. Now is the time for the first professional trimthat defines the line and shape.
Month 4+: Beard
Congratulations! You have a beard. Now begins long-term maintenance.
