Despite Evans’ claim that shaving his head and letting his beard go “requires the least amount of anything,” fans of his beard will notice that Evans does not simply let his beard grow wild.
The longest he ever seems to grow it out to is a full beard, and his beard never makes an appearance without its favorite sidekick, the mustache.
Growing a beard with the kind of thickness that Evans’ beard usually maintains requires proper diet, skin care techniques, and sticking to the four week rule, which means making it at least four weeks of full, un-stunted beard growth in order to get the beard to fill out all the areas with a consistent amount of thickness.
According to at least one fan source, Evans grew out his beard for a full five months, which explains how his beard was able to attain such an even, consistent thickness.
Of course, in that time, Evans didn’t let the growth of his beard go completely unchecked a quick glance through the album of his bearded looks available online will show that he knows how to trim and shape his beard to best suit his face shape, and he clearly knows how to care for his beard so he doesn’t get beard dandruff.
