Have you even tried growing a beard?
That's the simplest way to put it!
A beard takes a little while to grow, how long it takes is mainly down to your genetics & what your beard routine is like. You want a minimum of a decent beard oil & beard wash to get through the early stages soon moving onto beard balm & beard butter once you have a little more length.
Some people find that in under 3 months, some could take up to a year.
