As an avid Beard grower I have a few tips for ya: !) Trim your beard every 4-6 weeks. Some wait 8 weeks, but I've noticed it grows faster and a bit more even if you go 4-6 weeks. 2) Exfoliate 3) Wash it with normal shampoo and conditioner. This seems small and silly, but no one likes a dandruff beard. Especially for those ladies that DO like beards. Make it nice for them.
