SPECIAL BONUS: Read on to see the before and after of my beard (it won't disappoint). 

  [4-Min Read | By Timothy Harrington]

Men, what do you do when the girl you’re seeing calls you a patchy-bearded beta?

The way I see it, there’s two ways to go about this:

1. If she’s right, then it’s not a tough nut to crack. You dump her on the spot, just like I did. Because if you really can’t grow a beard, you don’t need anyone ridiculing you and destroying your confidence like that.
   
   Heads-up, if this is you, then make sure you read this whole thing. Because no, your patchy beard doesn’t have to be a life sentence.


2. On the other hand, if you’re confident and already have a full-grown beard, she's probably just teasing you, so be a sport about it. No biggie.
   
   But you’ll want to read the whole thing too, because what I’m about to show you can also make a full beard look even better and healthier.

In my case, she was right. Never in my life have I grown a decent beard. It was patchy from the get-go.

Worst of all? That wasn’t the only time my ex said something like that. And she wasn’t the only one.

I’ve been called names like baby face since highschool. That really did a number on me.

During my senior year, I took advice online and let my beard grow for 6 months.

I put them on a list.

These are my top picks:

1. "You look like a prepubescent boy with that patchy beard." - my dad.
2. "Why even bother growing a beard if it looks like that?" - my brother.
3. "Your beard is so uneven and patchy, it's embarrassing." - my ex.
4. "You should just shave that mess off; it's not doing you any favors." - my mentor at college.

And last, but not least:

5. "You're not a real man if you can't grow a full beard." - me to myself in the mirror.

So you get how my girlfriend calling me a “patchy-bearded beta” came to be the drop that spilled the glass. I felt like a clown.

I knew in my heart that she viewed me as “not man enough”. She looked down on me, and it was plain to see.

That combined with letting me get cast aside by other guys at parties, the way she flirted with them?

Getting rid of that person was the best decision I ever made.

But I’m grateful to her, because getting pissed off was exactly what I needed.

It increased my hunger level. My desperation level. It made me resolved.

I made peace with my patchy beard and accepted that I may just have to go with that clean-shaven, baby face look all my life.

So I joined the gym the very next day.

I figured, at least I was going to get jacked and build some confidence.

First week at the gym, this guy I met had the most predictable small talk on the bench press.

His name is Paul, he’s got a nagging wife so he hits the gym every little to clear his head. Classic, right?

The second time we came across each other, I listened to his story. Ex-army, runs a security business.

He opened up quite a bit. So when he asked what got me working out like a maniac since I was obviously new, I told him about my ex.

And how my non-existent beard may just be the bane of my existence.

But, you see, Paul has that “matter-of-fact” full mane. That thick, dense beard that you can’t not look at.

And Paul had something to say about my “situation”. Didn’t expect that.

“Man, had we met sooner, I would’ve told you about Riley’s. Riley’s, that’s what I use for the beard.

It’s a beard growth kit, ever used a dermaroller?

You use it to roll in this organic oil blend they make, to get it down to the hair follicles.

That’s gonna sort out that bumfluff you got going on before you know it, you won’t believe your eyes.”

Truth be told, I didn’t take him too seriously. I tried a bunch of beard growth creams and pomades and it did close to nothing.

After all that nonsense, a "beard growth kit" sounded to me strikingly similar to cough syrup or magical snake oil.

I found hundreds of people on Reddit who were just as hyped about it as Paul, and some of them had damn impressive before & after photos to prove it.

Here are some of the best ones:

Then I checked out their website to see what it’s made of. It’s a blend of 10 organic oils, completely natural.

In fact, it’s the first and only all-organic beard growth kit out there.

There’s a breakdown of all the ingredients and what each of them does, and it legit made sense that it might work.

It’s made of that good stuff, those delicate yet potent oil extracts you just know are potent, but you’ve no idea how they do their magic.

Stuff like almond, lavender, castor, coffee & argan oils, with incredible scents and a whole bunch of “hidden” effects you never would’ve guessed.

Because they’re basically nature’s wonders that have tons of applications and centuries-old use cases in more unexpected ways that you can account for.

So it’s a complete 180° turn from all that synthetic, cash-grab nonsense I fell for before. It’s nature.

And when I read that they offer a full refund if you see no results, I knew I had nothing to lose.

Plus, I really needed a win. So I decided to try it out. I paid $70 for a two month supply.

But there’s also an auto-fill subscription option where they send you a new bottle every sixty days for $49.

I switched to that later on.

Weeks 1-3

There were no visible changes in the first week, but I later found out that the first changes happen deep within the skin and the hair follicle. Basically this is the calm before the storm type of period.

Weeks 3-6

No turning back now! My beard got thicker and those patches were disappearing. I was stoked to see the progress. I remember thinking "Better keep going, this may even work."

Weeks 6-9

Wow, my beard really started to fill out and even up. I couldn't believe how far I'd come.

Weeks 9-12

And there it is—a thick, lush beard! What a transformation! Goodbye baby face, hello John Wick.

Now she wants me back. And I don’t blame her. Riley’s smells amazing, and I never looked better.

Who knows, if she apologizes a couple more times, I might even give her a second chance.

Just kidding.

I'm better off experimenting with beard styles. The rush is amazing.

Right now I’m sporting that full John Wick beard, and it’s not going anywhere.

Girls passing by on the street are checking me out, and I get a smile every little.

And I noticed that people in general — not only girls — pay attention to what I say more, and maintain eye contact longer than before.

I also put on some muscle over the last 3 months, which didn’t hurt my confidence.

Out of the rut and straight into flow state! Now that I’m kinda jacked, I see the beard as the icing on the cake.

But seriously, every girl loves rosemary oil. It renders them defenseless!

If she gets even near you, not to mention kissing you on the cheek or hugging you, she simply won’t want to pull away.

You’ll rub it in your beard every morning, but it’s so good you’ll want to do it twice.

Trust me on this. I’ve been where you are, and I know how you feel.

So before you spend a fortune on a transplant or accept your patchy beard as a life sentence, try Riley’s.

If it works for you like it worked for me, it’s going to get you the same, likely even better results than a transplant would.

But with zero risk, and no potential side effects or complications.

Besides, if you’re one of the unlucky few and it doesn’t work out, they’ll give you a full refund.

It’s the definition of a no-brainer. (Just like my ex. Lol.)

Peace,

Tim

P.S. I'm writing this article as a thank you note to Riley's because I never thought this would be possible.

The entire process of discovering this brand and seeing first-hand the effects these organic had on my beard health and self-image… It turned my entire breakup thing from one of the most painful to one of the most valuable, transformative experiences of my life.

It’s wind at my back, and I’m a new man now.
