Just wanted to write a little post about patchy beards (specifically mine) and how they do indeed fill in with added length and some time. Many of us first time growers with less than adequate INITIAL coverage get discouraged after a few weeks when we don't see any new growth or stubble sprouting up and inevitably think the odds of a full beard are slim to none. I had lots of patches in the first month or two of growing, and as it turns out, I still do. Length has covered up the majority, making my beard appear full and dense. I had two strong patches of growth, one on either cheek (symmetrical), that were surrounded by much less dense areas. I was always self conscious about how obvious the patches were because of how dark they appeared versus the more sparsely covered cheek areas. Here is a pic from week 4 of what I have always considered my "strong side" of my beard:
Over time, I realized that the strong area of growth was dispersing itself toward some of the weaker areas, causing them to slowly appear to fill in.
Now, at almost 21 weeks, the patches are barely noticeable. However, in the next pic, you can see that the weak areas are still there. They're just simply covered by length from another strong area. In this pic, I combed the length upward to show the thin spot.
Aaaaand one with everything combed down, the way I walk around everyday:
The point being, DO NOT GIVE UP! Just because your beard appears to be doomed, that's not necessarily true. Not all of us are blessed with a thick blanket of uniform stubble after a day or two of not shaving. When you hear an experienced bearded gentleman tell you that they'll most likely fill in with length, he's right. And chances are, he may have a few patches himself. I hope this post helps someone. I may consider posting a condensed version into the Patchy Beard Success thread.
Grow on,
Dawg
