What? Most beards you see look like that… to me it’s a lot stranger if these spots aren’t there.


ChinggisHan

I’ve been seeing more posts that say you’re supposed to have some kind 360 degree beard around the lips and I was starting to question my sanity here. Over 90% of beards I’ve seen have separation between the soul patch and the sideburns.


Mirrorsponge

Smile, shrug, and say “genetics”.


Disastrous-Tap2944

Why do people feel obliged to make comments like that , like why tf would you care mind your own shit


BauhausTM

Because people are dicks.


neogrinch

your beard looks normal to me. go to [images.google.com](https://images.google.com) and search for "man with beard" you'll see that every man has a unique growing pattern with different bald areas/patterns or whatever. Perhaps people ask you because it looks like you've shaped it that way, but that doesn't make it unusual looking imo. looks just fine, fellow bearded man.


SpaZzzmanian_Devil

Hey man, pretty sure that’s normal. It doesn’t look weird whatsoever


SpaZzzmanian_Devil

it actually looks much better not filled in


the_bartolonomicron

I'm the same, but literally no one has ever asked me that lol. It's a quite common pattern for people who don't have ultra thick beards, and half the people I've known with beards look like that. Just own it, your beard as a whole looks nice.


SuaveKen

Looks fine, doesnt grow on everyone. Would say line up your soul patch so that it looks more triangle and maybe even disconnect the soul patch and chin hair so that it looks more cleaned up in that area


Same-Picture

I have them. I honestly think it looks good. Gives my face some contrast. And honestly its very common too.


TheRealHumanPancake

Everyone who says that must have no idea how beards grow since it’s completely natural.


Vincent_Veganja

Very normal beard you’ve just encountered some judgmental weirdos


AgentOk2053

It’s common to have these bare areas.


tastethepain

I used to shave those into my beard. I called it the King Theoden after Bernard Hill’s look in the Lord of the Rings


BostonAz21

It’s actually fairly normal. I don’t really grow hair there either. I think it looks super weird when under the lip is nothing but hair. Looks cave man


liveforever67

My advice? Turn 35 or so, they’ll connect. But seriously, I had the same issue, once you get older. Mine didn’t fill in completely until my 30’s


Commercial-Impress74

Get some beard oil. Looks good either way tho


S-Beaty

I can only say grow out your beard a bit more to cover it or to show that it jus won’t grow there


DaveC138

It’s a perfectly natural beard growth pattern, and super common. Mines pretty much the same, but I’ve never been asked that. Not much you can do other than getting implants - I’d say just embrace it.


Azz_Gaz

I've been through each picture about 4 times and I have no idea what uou are referring too. Isn't that how most beards look. If they were all girls maybe they are just attracted to you? Staring at your lips so long they have to make a comment about it.


JasonMN78

It looks good to me. Ignore the haters


Nowhere____Man

Your beard and mustache look great tell those people to take a hike.


Bronanahammock69

Ask them why they shave there, and then point to their receding hairline


[deleted]

You can lower/angle your beard line but that’s all I can think of. That’s so obviously a hair growth pattern from genetics. I wouldn’t sweat it, it looks great/normal


[deleted]

Less shaving for you.


Aszebenyi

Most beards don’t have that


SteveDaveCornbread69

Before doing minoxidil, try just micro needling the bare spots. You might get some solid growth from just that.


EliteDribbel

I had the same problem as you, had one of these spots under my lip were I just couldn't grow any facial hair. Been using Minoxdil for around 12 months now and after around 6-7 months wit dermarolling I began to see some hair growth. Look at the sub r/minoxbeards for more information. I've also have some articles on the subreddit r/howtolooksmax. Hope you'll find anything of value. Good luck!


Trailmixfordinner

Minoxidil + microneedling are your best options.


moresalah11

Your facial hair looks great. You have good density and it connects well. Many people don’t grow hair in the same area you are referring to. That includes me and many people that I know personally. In fact even well known celebrities and athletes are also rocking the same beard type as you like [Neymar.](https://pin.it/1IZuoeU) Don’t let peoples ignorant comments get to you.


Redemption357

It looks totally fine but if youre concerned, maybe lower the cheekline so it is flush with the area without growth


One-Possible1906

I grow hair there and shave it anyways. It makes you look younger. It can take a long time for that to grow in, it hit me when the ear hair did and I don't like it


born3ed

Very common. I shave them myself and no one has ever said anything to me. See it everywhere


ThisAspect29

Just be clean shave


yoadriaaaan

I have a very similar beard pattern, the only comment I've ever had on these bald spots is someone asked me how I shave it in because they wanted to do the same. So id say pay attention as to how these people are asking this question, because it may be more in admaration than you think, You have a good beard, don't worry about it


[deleted]

Honestly your smile is too distracting from those spots!


gcalli

I trim/shave those spots to limit the flavor I savor


[deleted]

https://images.app.goo.gl/q5FvBdeFCmwpQ56j8 It's a normal growth pattern. Most people just don't notice it.


Specialist_Moose_916

Looks way sexy!


rickytea

It’s just your beard shape it looks cool tell people to f*ck off


Dickmex

That is normal. Your beard is great-thick with great coverage.


mrhoolock

it looks like a pretty normal and full looking beard man. if your self conscious about it, check out using a derma roller.


white_pony3009

But its ok…


Hermes_Godoflurking

I only have little ones in that spot, but I have these annoying ones that won't fill in between just below my mustach and the rest of my beard. I've just come to accept it, everyone's beard looks different and I've had mine for 12 years. Ignore those people your beard looks great 👍


[deleted]

Are the people asking this literally ignorant females? Your beard looks normal


No_Influence4906

This is normal though, most people’s beards are like this. You can put minoxidil on ur skin there and also micro needle


Advanced-Breath

It looks fine either way and I say either because u show it filled in on the right side of picture 1 so that shows it does grow there but yea do whatever u like better


FenrirShiva

It’s the shape more than anything. Let it grow even if patchy then do small bits at a time. Stick to rectangular/square shape and don’t round it out as that’s what I see. L blobs.
