In order to grow your hair and beard to full length in Red Dead Redemption 2, you must get Hair Tonic!

How to get Hair Tonic: It can be bought from every General Store, for example in Valentine. It’s found under the “Tonics” category. After buying it, open your satchel (hold

) and select the Hair Tonic to drink it. You can stack the effect to make your hair grow faster! This means each drink adds a multiplier to your hair growth so drinking 2 or 3 or more hair tonics increases hair growth exponentially. It still takes a while to fully grow out your hair, this happens automatically as time passes.

How to Grow Hair & Beard in Red Dead Redemption 2?

To grow your hair and beard out in Red Dead Redemption 2, you’re gonna need time, money, and patience. Both Arthur’s hair and beard grow in stages, and it starts with Chapter 2. You’d think that this is only cosmetic, but, as it turns out, it isn’t. Changing your look as dramatically as possible can apparently help you in areas where you’re wanted, since it makes you more difficult to recognize. So, let’s get into the nitty-gritty of it.

First of all, the hair. Growing your hair out has eight stages; the first being bald, and eight being the longest it can get. Hair only grows one stage at a time whenever you go through a loading screen – fast travel, respawning, cutscenes, sleeping, starting a new chapter, etc. The hair stages take different amounts of time that has to pass in-game. This is the tempo: two days, two days, four days, eight days, twelve days, twenty days, and twenty days. You can speed the process up by drinking hair tonics.

The beard has eleven stages of growth; one being extra clean shaven (which you only get from the barber), to eleven being the ultimate hipster lumberjack. The rate of growth is the same as with hair, but the natural growth of your beard stops at stage six. To grow it longer than that (and to speed up the process), you’ll need hair tonics. Which brings us to our next topic.

How to Get & Use Hair Tonics in Red Dead Redemption 2?

To get Hair Tonics in Red Dead Redemption 2, all you really have to do is mosey on to any general store that you can find. That’s really all there is to it. Just flip through the inventory until you get to the page with the hair tonic. One hair tonic is going to cost you $3.75, so it’s not too expensive to stock up on them. You might also come across a hair tonic or two while exploring the overworld, but really, why bother? The general store is absolutely your best friend when it comes to RDR2 Hair Tonics.

Using hair tonics in RDR2 is as simple as drinking them; wherever and whenever. One tonic doubles the rate of hair growth. Effects of drinking up to three tonics stack, speeding the process up x4 and x8, respectively. And, as we’ve mentioned before, growing your beard to the maximum length requires you to drink a lot of hair tonic.

Where to Find RDR2 Hair Tonic in Inventory?

To find the hair tonic in your RDR2 inventory, you’re going to have to go to the Kits tab in your satchel. This has been causing some confusion with players, and who can blame them? Every other elixir or potion or whatever you wanna call them is in the Tonics tab in your satchel. You’d expect the hair tonic to be in the Tonic menu. It’s right there in the name. But, no. It’s in Kits. Why? Who knows. Maybe this is an error that Rockstar will fix in the future. As it stands now, though, Red Dead Redemption 2 hair tonics are in the Kits sub-menu in your inventory.

I'm 7/10 in all categories. Am I supposed to use more than one at a time? How often should I be drinking the tonic? I'm aiming to get all 10s.

You drink it and your hair grows as you sleep.

from my understanding you can drink up to 3 tonics a day before you sleep, and you'll probably drink something like 50 tonics to get max lengh

If there is no god then there are no rules

It’s capped by chapter. You don’t get to reach level 10 till chapter four, I believe.

Yeah you need to be on chapter 4 or otherwise it won't grow after a certain point.

I probably spent over 500 dollars worth of hair tonics and nothing was happening, then I found out through a Youtube video that it stops till chapter 4. Don't do what I did lol.

I'm still needing solid answers on this. Do people say "drink three" because when you start the game you're only able to carry three? What about when you can carry 6? I was at the end of chapter 6 drinking like 20 hair tonics a day because I was getting impatient and my mustache eventually got to ten after maybe 2 months in game but the rest of my beard never did. I think something's off about the whole thing, or maybe my save file had beard bugs. IDK. One of my very few gripes about the game.

So I'm in the Epilogue now and hair length doesn't have a limit. My question is do I need to space out how often I'm drinking tonics or can I spam them to get back to max hair length?

Hair Tonics are required to grow your beard past a 7. They decrease the time needed by two and stack three times. There's no point in drinking more than 3 tonics between growth. Hair growth requires a set number of days to pass for each stage. Once the number of days has passed, a transition screen, such as sleeping, is needed in order for the game to show the change.For example, say it takes 96 days to go from a 9 beard to a 10. Hair Tonics would reduce the number of days to:1 Tonic = 48 Days2 Tonics = 24 Days3 Tonics = 12 Days(I don't remember the exact number of days, but it was similar to that)

Hair length however is locked by story progression. You won't get a 10 beard until chapter 5 at the earliest.
