The challenge we’re talking about today is the dreaded beard standoff. What’s a beard standoff? A beard standoff is a battle between your beard and your significant other’s desire to see your beard no longer attached to your face. If you or someone you love is in a beard standoff, they’re not alone. How to approach growing a beard or mustache when your spouse isn’t feeling it is a recurring topic of conversation in the [Beardbrand Alliance]( (our private online community). The responses are always great, so we’re sharing some of the advice here: 1. Have an open and honest conversation about why you want to grow a beard. Talk about how it makes you feel, the joy it brings to your day, and how others ‘see’ you with the beard (maybe a workplace scenario). 2. Show your partner a few pictures of the look you’re going for, and describe what it will take to get there. 3. Set a definitive goal with your partner regarding your beard plans (time or length) and allow for some feedback along the way. 4. Shop for [beard products]( together. Choose scents your partner may appreciate (that you also enjoy) and do your best to wear a scent/style that they’re into from time to time. 5. When you can, head to a barber and get your beard professionally trimmed to help keep it looking its best. 6. Bonus tip: Pay extra attention to stray beard hairs on the bathroom counter and sinks! Growing a beard can be hard. Hell, growing as a person is, too.
