The Patchy Beard
The uneven-growth beard — often fixable by patience, DHT-boosting habits, and strategic styling.
A patchy beard is beard growth with visible gaps. In most men under 25, patches fill in with age (beards mature until ~28). For older men, the pattern is genetic — but many patches become less visible after 3+ months of full growth as surrounding hair covers them.
