French beard without mustache. How to Make Your Beard and Mustache Connect - The Beard and The Wonderful

A question we get asked a lot is, "My moustache doesn't connect to my beard". This is a very common problem which whilst is mainly down to nature, it's a problem that can be fixed! Mustache and beard.

Connecting your mustache to your beard can be a headache simply because everyone is different. Some guys sprout hairs from a young age and need a daily shave while someone several years older still struggles to grow a bit of bum fluff.

If whatever you have tried has not solved the tricky problem of mustache will not connect to the beard issue and those connectors are staying bald, then we are here to help. If you are wondering whether the solution is to grow the mustache hair or sideburns long and make a 'hair bridge', or even just embrace the gap then read on.

So the first thing you need to rule out is whether it is an age issue. Puberty starts around 12-13 and goes on in some men until 20 or so. Some men will not fully grow facial hair everywhere until this time. If you have ruled this out and determined that this is not the issue then it could instead be one of the following:-

Genetics - Your facial hair can grow at different speed and density depending on your genetic genetic makeup. If hair does not grow between your mustache and beard then it may just be you.

Health - Make sure you have a good healthy diet, without too much drinking and smoking. Take a good vitamin & mineral supplement to help promote hair growth in the areas connecting your mustache to your beard.

Patience - Different people have inconsistent and uneven beard and mustache growth. Sometimes it can grow out patchy to begin with and the bald areas fill in later. You could have an unnatural share of hormones across your face, especially testosterone. This can cause hair to grow at a different speed on different areas. Give your face a good few weeks before you decide that you cannot fill those pesky gaps.
