3 . Choose a style of facial hair
Be honest to yourself and check the which part of your facial hair is really growing. You should choose an appropriate style on that basis. Even if you see no growth or little growth on the jaw areas after 4 – 6 weeks of waiting, shave em off a put on some beard oil for gods sake on the areas where hair does not grow well. It is better to choose a full goatee look instead of a patchy beard.
