I’m on this exact journey, thanks Hamza! It’s growing slowly but surely 🙌

My beard was always really patchy. At 23, I found your videos and decided to get on self-improvement. A month in I noticed that my beard was starting to fill in noticeably more than it ever had before. I think it's because a lot of the self-improvement habits also help increase testosterone levels which in turn helps beard growth

Hamza, I think what you are trying to talk about is called epigenetics. Which is basically "the study of how your behaviors and environment can cause changes that affect the way your genes work. Unlike genetic changes, epigenetic changes are reversible and do not change your DNA sequence, but they can change how your body reads a DNA sequence."

This video came out 20 mins after I got back from work. Made an offer to my boss to stay an extra hour, working my arse off to fix a mistake someone made the week prior. Got it done with 1 minute to spare, was tight. Worth it for me and my boss.

Common W from Hamza. You continue to change my life, and I respect it. You are the one of the reasons I have chosen to put effort into my channel. Bless you bro

Do the hard work…………..

I love how Hamza never runs out of video ideas.Keep doing the great work brah!

I'll always remember your advice about "making your body NEED testosterone" I work hard having that in my head✊

HOLY SHIT IT WORKED. 23 yo. Lost that girl after 5 years and this video came up. I saw this video upon release. I always wanted a beard but couldn’t make it. I went through the trials and tribulations of self improvement. Quality sleep, fixed mental health, 5 times a week gym, took responsibility of my life. 8 months later I have gained 15 kilos and went from skinny guy to quite bulky with a respectable physique. Still got a long way to go. Today I finally grew a beard. I feel really grateful. Everybody’s complimenting me about it. So, to any young man who is watching this, take what Hamza says in this video. Don’t shave it, wait for the second marshmallow. Your time will come, I promise.

Genes do play a big role tbh, I'm only 18 with a beard that's almost full, I started shaving every 2-3 days when I was 16 because it grows back rly fast. And my dad always blamed me for shaving my beard since I was 14 assuming that's the reason for my beard growing while he's standing there with prob one of the best beard genetics. Even tho he always shaves it of, he can literally grow his beard up to his eyes, no patches at all, rough dark hairs and he's telling me that the reason I have a beard now is because I always shaved 🤣.

Recently grew a beard for the first time (37). It was growing in nicely after a few weeks , then tried to trim and used the wrong guard ….no more beard for now. Gonna grow it again in a month or so after some dermastamping and mynoxidil over the patchy area on my cheek. He’s right about the stuff in this video …gene expression…deserving it …living in a way that promotes test levels. It’s almost a mindset

Agree with everything in this video. I personally would say the key principles are: 1) Trim, not shave. Use scissors or a trimmer. 2) Loose weight (if overweight) and/or put on some muscle (if skinny). It raises your testosterone levels which really helps. 3) Use minoxidil on troubled spots (i personally do not use it, but did a couple years before for hair loss, did help a lot. But ultimately i decided to accept my baldness and change the haircut) 4) Choose the best style of beard that suits your hair growth pattern. Sounds obvious but not that many guys do it. 5) Increase blood flow to the troubled areas. There are a lot of ways to do it, but most of them leave temporary marks (such as needle rollers etc.). Maybe try slapping your face in the evenings, it might help (not sure about that one, but it helped some of the guys i know)

Hamza, I'm 18 you and many other self improvement channels have helped me so much. I'm buying a Model 3 Performance Tesla with the money I know make I'm in the best shape of my life, well groomed, have jewlery, and life is going vertically uphill because of people like you. I've taken yours, and many other channels advice on mental health and all around wellness. Just know you've impacted me in a greater way than most of my own family or friends ever could have, and for that I deeply appreciate and thank you you.

Thank you for giving us everyday advice Hamza that will benefit us on this self-improvement journey. Us men on here really appreciate you

I really loved that analogy of seeing your life as a movie. That opened my eyes a little bit more to see the person I should be, and how important every minute of my time is

Shaved my head last day of school and started growing a beard, I look like a Taliban but in a while I will look like hamza. Stay the course guys!

Your absolutely right. 3 or so months ago I was optimising every second of my day in the right things & grew out a strong beard, yes my Cheeks grew much slower & I eventually shaved it because my entire family held an intervention about my beard. & for the last month I’ve been super lazy & complacent. Growing back my beard it’s now incredibly slow. Like a month in it’s where it was a week or so in when i was on the grind. I needed this video. Thank you Hamza

I’m blessed to have a beard early on. I recently turned 18 this August. I’m still in high school (Senior). I’ve had a beard for 5 years or so and it’s developing much better. I’m taking responsibility and leading my team to success. If you met my younger brother, you’d think he was a 30 year old, even tho he’s just 16. He has tons of discipline to grow out his beard. We went to my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary a few weeks ago and my dad was giving a speech and got on the topic of my brother and how he could out-beard every man in the room! That’s when I knew my brother was set on a masculine path. I’m proud of him and I’m proud of my beard at this age and I’ll make it even better! Thanks Hamza.

I Swear I've been looking for videos to grow beard but almost everyone talks the same confusing shit Hair-fiber, shave it off, dermaroller bs and bs My father has full beard, same with my brothers, It will eventually grow, i hope. I also have a goal list and exercise daily. Apart from improving myself I'm improving my discipline. You've been really helpful, Thanks Hamza.

3 months in, and this has already been my mind set 💯

Hamza I'm Asian (Filipino). Everyone on my bloodline doesn't have a beard. So I can't grow a beard, but I can grow a small mustache. So I'll grow my mustache instead. I agree with the masculinity stuff you said. The more masculine you are, the thicker your beard will be.

Simple Solution = Minoxidil+Castor Oil+Derma Rolling

The outlook you have on genetics is interesting nonetheless and there have been studies on this, it's called epigenetic. Honestly i don't know if it's true or not, but believing that discipline and hard work can also improve your "gene expression" is only beneficial.

Thanks Hamza, you called me out on eating at my desk so i'll hold my hand up and be honest about that because it truly is a bs amount of comfort i didn't even realize that in certain ways im lazy because it seems like it's the norm nowadays and it is time i improve those aspects of my life, i really appreciate you brother im hoping taking more and more responsibility will get me to grow a beard, i've been wanting one although i don't know at what age to expect it

As someone who didn't have a beard all through my young 20's the one thing I can tell you is that NO oil, juice, cream or anything will grow your beard or stimulate hair follicles. The ONLY answer is minoxidil 2 times a day (minoxidil is the number 1 ingredient in rogaine, but it works for our facial hair as well), derma roller and 5,000mg of biotin daily. It took me an entire year of consistency but I got incredible results.

Whoever's reading this, i pray that whatever you're going through gets better and whatever you're struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! Amen

hamza you're the man I got back on track because of you, it's been a week and I'm already feeling the happiest I could be knowing I'm walking towards my goals. Can you do a video on dealing with injury depression (I've been injured for 1.5 years and I found this year that I have a scoliosis) I'm dealing with it right as since I watched your videos I stopped crying about it and I'm treating myself with any thing that helps. Thanks again, you're changing lives

legit perfect timing just tried to search for how to grow a beard

I am a South Indian so I am already sprouting a beard at 14. It looks horrible and this video is real help for me what to do. Thanks Hamza

Awesome video. Definitely agree about the coincidence and timing of growing a beard and responsibility and discipline. The psychology/spiritual aspect of this is awesome!! Great video.

I'm the first man in my family to grow a full beard at 20 years old. I'm also the only one that works out and takes advice from people like you and stoic beliefs to heart.

Super proud to almost have a full beard and I just turned 14 today!

Finally the tutorial I've been waiting for

I am 19 right now when my father at that age he says he have a kind of power to do anything and I was half energy of them

i watched this video a month and i actually have increased my beard growth by increasing my masculinity and discipline

Growing a beard was the best decision of my life haha thanks hamza for always giving the best tips, your videos have changed my life and made me start my own channel as well. Check it out guys

Constructive Criticism: Hamza you don't understand what discipline is, "If you love it it's not discipline, it's instant gratification" No if that's how that worked then you should stop doing what you love and move on to something harder like working at Wendy's. Discipline is doing something whether you like it or not. "Oh your not disciplined because you like the gym now" that makes zero fuckin sense That is still taking responsibility and growing your future self. Discipline is the action you take to fulfill a certain purpose that you have. You can like being a soldier that doesn't make you any less disciplined. And no your beard has nothing to do with the amount of responsibility you take on. While the message is optimistic it goes to delusional levels. Not trimming your patchy beard is the only solid point you have here. There are plenty of successful people that have no beards, the underlying message behind your video simply makes men feel insecure about themselves. "iF yoU dOnT hAve a beArD tHen yOu diDnT tRy iN LiFe" Say that to... Mohammad Ali Mike Tyson Kobe Bryant Arnold Schwartzneggar Kanye West Kendrick Lamar .... Do I need to go on? Facial Hair is a mechanism men have to yes look more attractive but it is to also keep them warm. If you live in colder regions you are more likely to grow a beard. That's why most Vikings had beards while most Red Indians didn't. Both tribes had extremely strong, masculine and responsible men. You are not a better man for having facial hair.

Had a beard before the self-improvement journey, but lately I've noticed it grow thicker. Maybe it isn't broscience after all.

Hamza you give so much wisdom. Thankyou for helping the Jefferys of the world transform into what we were meant to be.

Genetics are like a “starter pack” in a video game. If you’re supposed to have a certain amount of muscle based on genetics, you’re probably gonna have it and if you have it, doesn’t mean you’ve reached the limits of muscle, you can grow more.

Thanks for this vedio because i am 19 and i have one hair as beard and rest is very small so thanks bro , im very happy to say that i convinced all mu friends for self improvement they all watch your vedios now thankyour for openin our eyes we were Jeffrey's before now we are takin steps to be like you ❤️🛐

You changed my life man

If only more young men knew about this. I, myself was blessed to have beard growth from late 12/early 13 years old, and here I am now being 17 and having a full grown beard

You click on a video for a beard but get a life changing speech

6:54 Was the most relatable thing I've heard from Hamza.

bro this is relatable right now because the side burn and moustache are growing way faster than the side of my beard. Very helpful!!

Thanks hamza I'm only 12 and a half years old and now I have a beard!

The point you made about how genes don't have to necessarily determine something, and can be turned on or off, is so true. It sounds wishy-washy but it's true. You can see this all the time for example if you, your father, your grandfather and 3 generations before him had a predisposition to certain disorder caused by genetics but not every one of them got it, even tho they had the genes to have the same disorder. The only difference for them was the environment. (Maybe not the best example but idk if you don't believe I don't blame you)

At age 16 I already have a big almost full grown beard, except for the connection between beard and moustache, everything was there. And it was a year after I had to start working to provide money to my family at home. My lil brother age 16 now is barely starting to grow one. He started working almost before his 16th birthday and in a different situation, he had a choice and I hadn´t. Maybe it´s coincidence, maybe not. But I choose to believe. (sry for mispellings english is my second language).

Stopped watching your videos a while back because i felt like i took all the advice i needed. This video really helped me though. Thanks hamza🙏🏽

The physiological thing is not just for beard but also for facial structure, whenever I see a man that went through hard work and discipline and achieved a beautiful transformation in life, their facial structure completely changes that’s weird but very true

Great advice bro, appreciate it

Thank god I started growing beard naturally after 16, but the real growth came when I went into the self improvement journey, thanks to my guy Hamza for guiding me :)

I’m 22 with 2 kids and my beard has only started to come through pretty good this year since I started going to the gym and started working harder and taking more responsibility Hamza is talking proper sense

discipline is doing what you hate but do it like you love it

Earning a beard is cap, I’m 19, I train mauy Thai 3 times a week and go gym twice, I’m doing a weekend course on sports injury therapy while working part time during the week, I talk to girls at work and church. I sleep at least 8 hours most nights and drink 3 litres of water everyday. I can’t grow a beard at all. My cousin is 20. He “works” for his mother but he rlly doesn’t do much, he spends all his spare time watching anime and playing video games, he rarely leaves the house and gets nervous talking to everybody. The man eats McDonald’s several times every week and he loves to drink rum and whisky. My cousin has the most full beautiful beard. Life ain’t fair.

Weird, my brother doesn't do self improvement or anything and by the way he acts, he doesn't seem that masculine at all. But he's been able to grow a full beard when he was 17. I'm 20 and I've been on self improvement for 4 years, and my facial hair has only barely started to grow in. I would say the starting point of getting any real facial hair depends on the persons genetics. Not only do genetics determine the "If" of growing a beard, but also "When".

I heard Wim Hoff discuss how breath can impact genetic expression, even as far as resolve generational trauma. 100 people all weeping, laughing & shaking guided by Wim those few days; powerful stuff

Following Hamza’s self improvement journey has significantly benefited my life, appearance, and habits. However, I still struggle with my mental health as I always low self esteem despite indulging in all the productive and healthy habits. I think the main cause to the problem is my constant loneliness since I have finished school recently

can you make a video about the struggle of school taking the whole day literally and when you get back home you should study more and you can't really improve much in these circumstances and school and parents just shout at you and the main problem is that you have time to improve but not much

I stopped the video to comment that ur an absoulute LEGEND !!!

"You Will Have a Beard When You Deserve To Have One" - Hamza

Hamza and Tate carrying masculinity right now

Who knew a video about a growing a beard would be exactly what I need to hear right now?

was literally telling a mate about how i was having issues growing hair in my cheeks yesterday, absolute godsend thankyou so much

What’s the best thing to do once a audience is built hamza?

Perfect timing bc I’ve Im my beard journey right now. Been improving T and using minoxidil for a week

It felt like you were talking to me specifically, damn you have a good way of figuring your target audience

Minoxidil foam 1x a day (or 2x if necessary) and derma roll twice a week with 0.5mm derma roller (192 needles NOT 540). Clean your derma roller with 70% isopropyl alcohol. Continue for 2.5 years.

At 6:50 to 8:00 you literally described me. I feel ashamed by myself but that was a helpful insight. Thanks

I'm sorry Hamza. The point you're making with being disciplined, not eating junk food, doing things a man does. I'm doing that for over 1-2 years now. I go to the gym 6 times a week. I bench press 100KG. I run my own business, and so on. And still.. I don't have a full grown beard.

was legit just researching this last night, this was the perfect time for this video. will be trying this soon.

bro exactly what I needed , like you are reading my mind.

I once heard that Beards where meant to protect your neck against swords idk if that’s true but shits badass

Minoxidil (twice a day) and dermarolling (trice a week) for 2 years and you reached your genetical potential

yo hamza u crazy bro my mind is really fcked up

When I saw the notification I just clicked it like my life depended on it lmfao.

In my opinion, i didn’t grow a full thick beard in 17 , checked my testosterone levels they are in range but what is happening to me? All my family from my father and mother have full thick beard , I started working out , Started to work like our fathers , not to fap and never think of it , until 18 years old and 4 months my beard got fuller

I actually have nice beard genetics, I dont have any spots where hair is missing. It is quite full, but when I grew it out for like 3 weeks, I felt like it would grow out any further and that it was kind of stuck. But that doesnt happen, right?

Hamza make a skin care video. Bump this up everyone for the TOP G!!

Surprisingly when I first started watching hamza like a year and half ago when I first started going gym I had no facial hair or nothing at all and now my beard is coming through I can safely say going gym helped

I'd say going to "battle" definitely helped grow my beard if what your saying is true. I had a full beard at 19 that grows quicker then any other male in my family, when I was growing up it's about the only masculine thing I was doing, fighting other groups with my group of friends at party's or just out and about getting into beefs that would last year's and get more violent as time went on. So I was always looking over my shoulder waiting to get jumped or worse even stabbed, all the other shit I was doing was pure degenerate smoking quid and beating of the meat, playing video games etc. Yes I know the fighting in groups blah blah is degenerate too but it activates the pride of a man and the will to choose fight over flight even against a group of enemies so you wouldn't be the one to bring shame onto you and your friends. These life and death moments turned me into a man without a doubt. I've been jumped I've been snuck up on and king hit from behind, knives and guns pointed at me all multiple times while least expecting it never did I run. Always ten toes down. Some will say I'm stupid and I know I could have lost my life but at the time I didn't care.... I got 2 kids now so I got something to live for but back then I really couldn't care less

As I do agree with the first minute of letting your facial hair grow out to new lengths, I myself (20 yrs old) have seen my beard get thicker after I shaved it ONCE already having a beard. It grew back ticker and the patches went away for me. Also be sure to have a skincare routine every morning and night. Good luck gents!! Love you all

Hamza is the real GOAT.

I watched this to know how to grow a beard. Homie really just opened my eyes to how I’m less masculine than I thought. This is the first time I’m binging hazma and it’s genuinely amazing shit

Take on more responsibility and it will come 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Appreciate the advice. Hair on my chin grows incredibly fast but everywhere else has not grown for months. I’m 17, and feel like I should have adequate growth by now. Any advice?

Same thing my dad says. Thanks, Hamza

thanks bro for this message, it is a big slap right on my face

Partly is genetics and partly is increasing test levels = better beard. I had a full beard by 19, had 0 facial hair at 16 till I joined gym, within 3 years full beard. Also supplements help but number 1 is test levels. Heavy squats, deadlifts etc helped me a lot for sure. For supplements castor oil is a good natural one, or if you're desperate you can always apply minoxidil. It's really about letting go and not focusing on growing a beard, it'll come just keep doing you. The more you attach to something = more you put it on pedestal = more seperation from it = more time to achieve it.

Genetics: no

thankyou bro I was sort of aware of this message but I really need this wakeup call

Hamza, your ablity to just sit in front of a camera and talk and have your viewer completely captivated on anything is amazing.

My beard honestly changed my life in terms of my confidence and attraction. I will never shave off my beard.

Let me spare you eleven minutes: genes, time, and aging. If you're in your late teens and early 20's, beards are a non-factor. Especially if you have a decent jawline. There is no reason any young guy should walk around with patches on his face in the "hopes" that it will get thick enough to force into a beard. Girls in their late teens and early 20's like clean-shaven faces. While the outliers with beards are getting hit on by 35 year olds. Keep your face clean and enjoy it. You will know you can grow a beard when you grow a beard! Simple.

Bro you're literally I love you bro

Dermaroller 0.5 mm 2 - 3 times a week with minoxidil or other beard growth products will help you immensely👍🏻

its not much about reling on a scientific proven method to grow a beard, but the fact that you give advices based on your anecdotal experience i criticise you, still, following your advice it costs me nothing so i will give it a try, but please hamza, for yourself, dont be this kind of person who rejects any kind of scientific evidence

Jesus Christ will come back soon and we don't have much time to turn to Him. He died for all of our sins so that we can be forgiven. All we have to do is accept Him into our lives and trust Him wholeheartedly. Nobody but Jesus can save your soul. This might be your sign so turn to Him today. He loves you😊😊

finally the thing that i was looking for, the specific video that I wanted hamza to do
