Why won't it stop itching!? I can't lean against my arms, or... itching! I can't rest on my hand, or... itching! I can't scratch, or... itching!
How do you deal with it!? Do you get used to it? Am I not man enough? Do you all start your days off with an intense man-cry?
And this is also a poll. Do you think Dave should grow his beard back, yea or nae? I vote hell yea.
Before and after shots. Notice how small the second picture is.
I need some answers, Bearded Giant Bombers
" There's always a length, when you start to grow a beard where its gonna itch like hell but its only a phase. Deal with it for a couple of days and then you'll be fine once it gets longer. Sooo worth it! "This. It always itches for awhile but after that period it's bearded glory for the rest of your life.
Yeah don't stress about the itching. Just put up with it for a day or two and it most likely won't itch again.
That's how it works for me anyway.
" There's always a length, when you start to grow a beard where its gonna itch like hell but its only a phase. Deal with it for a couple of days and then you'll be fine once it gets longer. Sooo worth it! "this. you turn into a man, once you pass the itching phase.
" Yeah mine itches sometimes. If it comes to a constant itch then I suggest washing it with some shampoo. Maybe trimming it too. Also, I never seen Dave in a beard. I'm probably going to need to see pics to make a decision. "Updated the OP with pics.
Other than that, there's always an "itchy phase" as several others have commented. You just gotta ride it out, but keeping it clean definitely helps.
Hmm. Seems all is well, then. But here's another big question!
Can I ever lean against my arms again? Whenever I rest my chin on something, it hurts! A lot!
You need to keep your beard clean. I wash mine every time I shower and massage it for a few minutes before and after, using shampoo meant for allergic or sensitive children on it. I've got a selection of combs to brush it out afterwards. What's really necessary for all beards are near-daily rubbings of creams or oils that contain AHA-acid, they take care of a lot of problems, and should very well take care of your pain. Unless perhaps it's that you've got very deep follicle roots.
Been growing a fine stylized goatee for at least five years, spent a lot of time in communities for longhaired people when I was younger, and actually longhaired, taught me a lot of tricks to help make my beard the best on in my town.
(I'm wearing it combed wide in my old profile image, nowadays it's thicker, longer and more organized)
Mine never really itches...Though I've noticed that the longer it gets, the more I absent-mindedly stroke it.
" @FunExplosions: Are you allergic to your hair oils? Like once a week or so wash your bear with a good anti-buildup, anti-itch mint or menthol based cleaning shampoo. It feels good, and will help the itch, and keep your beard hair nice and healthy. "Interesting. I have always washed my facial hair real well, regardless of its length. Perhaps I should not wash it with soaps that could dry the skin out, though. I'll have to try something besides Menthol, though. Oh, man, just the thought of having to smell Menthol all day long makes me wanna puke.
I found if you don't scratch it, then any itch just goes away. Never comes back either. After that, you'll enjoy grabbing at it in intense intellectual debates where the man with the biggest beard wins :)
There is a length were it is itchy for me but just man up for a couple days and it will get better. Also, maybe try and find some conditioner for course hair to try and make it softer.
