if you use the beard and hairstyles dlc it stops growth of beard.

It grows a little too fast for me. If it didnt stop at some point you'd look like santa in a couple of hours.

I can confirm that there seems to be a bug that stops the beard from growing, at least in my game. I got a clean shave about 20 hours of gameplay ago, have fast-traveled a lot, and my face is still as smooth as a baby's. As someone psyched about the dynamic beard growth I am very sad now. I guess I have to go to the barber and have him put hair back on my face.

I'm thinking the same! I have a clean shaved, and the beard doesn't grow anymore, and I do a lot of fast travels. Does anyone know if its a bug or something???

Pretty sure it's intentional. I think CDPR announced it would be like that before the DLC came out.

100 % Fact.
1. Beard only grow back if you select Clean Shave, other Beard Style won't grow your beard.
2. Maximum beard length won't be long as Skellige's beard style.
3. Hair don't have grow mechanic.

Wrong. I usually select the medium beard (don't remember the in-game name), and it does grow.

Also I think it grows via completing quests/getting xp, not in real time thus simply passing time does not work. It usually grows back to full after doing 2-3 quests for me, even if only a couple of game days passes.

It's called "Full Beard short cut" or so, also a clean shave grows.
You all can see the picture i post on the first site and this was a clean shave before.

The Beard grows really low if you make only Side Quest and only if you get a loading screen
If you make the Main Quest it grows faster, or if you travel between the Staates (Novigrad, Velen, White Orchard, Skellige) but you have to fast travel to get a loading screen.

On passing some guards one of them said: "Washed your hair lately?"

Thanks man! :) It seems, that you were right!
Yes, this is a bug. cd projekt red (tards) should rename witcher 3 into glitcher 3 bug hunt, since this broken mess is riddled with bugs and glitches.

Oh look, another necro'd thread. Way to go, you nimrod.
Oh look, another glitcher 3 fanboy loser. Way to go, you autistic git.
