What To Do About My Beard? It Doesn't Look Good.

Aesthetically speaking it looks great. Hair is hair, be not unhappy about the appearence. It will further fill out over time.

From purely a health perspective, if you are concerned about the hair being thin and lacking shine, I can't really comment based on these photos, I would have to see in person, but it does look a little thin and dull. This could be an indication of poor diet (vitamin and protein deficiences can show first in hair before any other obvious problems occur), lack of exercise and sub-optimal hair-care.

For any hair that falls off, pull it apart and see how easily it breaks. There should be a marginal stretchiness. Is there any hair loss? Is the skin beneath the beard flaking, sore or itchy? Look closely at the fallen beard hair to see whether the root end is very thin (small than the width of the hair). What is the state of the hair on your head? Do you have any hair loss? Is it healthy?

Are you getting a balanced and nutritional diet with sufficient exercise? What are you using to wash your hair and how often? No harm upping the protein and other relevant nurtients- since growing hair requires additional nutritions in the body, you may not have realised that you may need to change your diet in order to be able to grow hair optimally. Use a good qality multi vitamin tablet if required. Also too much washing with a harsh soap or one that does not suit you can lead to dry, coarse and dull beard hair. I personally find it best to use only a mild soap on fingertips to exfoliate the skin beneath the beard, rather than applying any soap onto the beard itself. Wash the hair ocassionally only and after doing so, try few drops of almond oil (whilst still damp). See which oil suits your hair best through experimenting. You may need to use different oil from your head hair. I also suggest avoiding using any combs or brushes and rather only very gently using your fingers to comb. Also what is your climate? There can be seasonal variations depending on humidity etc.

Personally, I've seen my beard transform from thick and glossy to thin and wiry within weeks following a period of poor diet/exercise or by using products that don't suit. But within days it can be retransformed back into healthy hair. Hair is a living part of your body. It needs care and attention. However once you find what suits you and discover what type of hair is natural for your body type/genetics then it becomes second nature.

Hope this helps. Reply with questions asked above.

The beards fine. In fact its more than fine.

Judging by the photos, I'd be more concerned about the face. It doesn't seem to exist. i.e. I couldn't help noticing you have no nose, eyes, ears or indeed any of the traditional components of a face. All the more reason, I feel, to be thankful for having what I see as a damn fine beard.

:giggle:

im crine hahaha

Hi , I agree your beard looks pretty good. I apply oil at night then wash out in the morning. I used to use almond oil but found this a bit heavy. Now using Happy Beard Oil. Lighter and fresher fragrance. I think you can get it on amazon cheapest.

Diet is important. Nothing beats good old milk.

WJKK WJKF OP

Who said you that your dara doesn't look nice!!!! it looks awesome especially as prakashed in pictures... just use coconut oil in the morning while in shower and your hairs will be soft and smooth...

Another thing to think is that this dara is blessing of Guru Gobind Singh ji and have it with pride...

Hope it helps

Bro you've received a ton of love and support. Let me round it out with some more love and support with the edge of addressing missing peices. To come on a Sikh forum and say something like this, someone has failed you in knowledge and/or confidence growing up.

Depending on the degree of your fears, (btw your beard is perfect), consider contemplation, knowledge, or a psychologist. I don't think you need the latter.

Start with changing the title of your post which is illogical for a Sikh to something along the lines of 'my beard looks great, want further advice.'

A fearless smile within, not a mirror, defines attraction. We define beauty and let it chase us all day long. Drop the baggage, get on board, and be a Sikh soldier serving humanity.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
