STEPS ON HOW TO GROW YOUR BEARD

When it comes to growing a beard, one of the most common misconceptions is that facial hair grows at the same rate as the hair follicle on your scalp. To clear that out once and for all – it doesn’t. Your beard actually grows faster than your hair, which is definitely a good thing.

Now, some of you may be surprised to hear that your facial hair follicle develops when you’re just a 5-month-old fetus. When you eventually hit puberty, your hormones will become active and trigger your facial hair growth. Since that moment, you will be able to grow a beard.

However, some men won’t be able to have a beard, or at least, a full beard.

Hormones responsible for this are testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Testosterone levels will define your beard thickness, and DHT will affect its density.

Men that can’t grow a beard, or can grow just a little amount of facial hair have low levels of these two hormones so they can’t stimulate beard growth. On the other hand, if you have 20 years and your beard is still patchy, that doesn’t mean your hormone levels are low.

It simply means that your body is not sensitive enough towards these hormones. On the other hand, being more sensitive to testosterone and DHT means that your beard will likely grow faster and at an earlier age.

If you’re struggling to grow beard faster, this scientific explanation will help you understand the pattern of your beard growth:

1. Testosterone and DHT travel from the bloodstream to the androgen receptors and up to your facial hair follicles, improving a blood flow.

2. Your body produces keratin by using some micro and macronutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbs, and fat.

3. During its growth, your facial hair will pass through three hair follicle growth phases (anagen, catagen, telogen), just as the rest of the hairs on your body.

This is all great, but you’ve probably still wondered if there is something you can do to increase testosterone production in your body.

How to Grow a Beard Faster if You Are a Teenager

As already stated, time and patience are two essential things on every man’s beard journey. That’s why teenagers particularly struggle when it comes to beard growth.

When you are 14, 16, or 18 years old, patience is the one thing you always lack.

All you want is for your beard to grow faster, or if possible immediately.

However, that’s not how things happen. Beard growth rate is different for every man, just like everyone hits puberty at different times.

No matter the age, the critical element in growing a beard is always patience, and proper care in the meantime.

 STEPS

1: Exfoliate Your Skin and Beard

Dead cells on your face often impede the growth of a new beard.

By scrubbing and rinsing your skin and facial hair with mild soap and warm water at least once a week, you’ll remove these cells, thus helping new facial hair grow faster.

After that, apply your beard oil and massage it thoroughly into your skin and beard. Massage will improve blood circulation, and that will help your beard grow fast.

Try to make it a point each day to keep the face as clean as possible, rinsing with warm water and mild soap at least each morning and evening.

Clean facial skin encourages tiny hair follicle to grow.

Keep in mind that nothing beats well rounded and healthy eating habits. Food in the list below is guaranteed to promote rapid beard hair growth.

2: Committing to the Process

One of the reasons many men struggle to grow a beard quickly is they often give up just at the point where progress is being made.

When you are trying to grow a beard quickly, there is going to come a period where the skin will become itchy to the point you are scratching your beard day and night.

This discomfort is usually where those who are not serious about growing a beard simply shave it right off.

In order to start growing a beard, you have to be willing to allow at least four weeks for the hair follicle to activate. During these four weeks, you are going to go through many periods of uncontrollable itching.

If you avoid that temptation to shave it off when the itching becomes unbearable, you will reach a point where the hairs will soften and the itching will subside. Once the facial hair becomes soft, the hair growth will be less irritating.

3: Minerals and Vitamins

In addition to eating better, you can help your beard grow faster by supplementing your diet with the appropriate minerals and vitamins.

This supplement is available in health food and vitamin stores and will help to increase both the growth of your nails and your facial hair.

Start to incorporate more vegetables and fruits into your diet, they are rich in the minerals and vitamins that the hair follicle needs in order to grow more rapidly.

Without the appropriate nutrients in your body, you begin to slow down the production of the hair.

Look into increasing your daily intake of vitamin B6, beta-carotene, vitamin C, flaxseed oil, vitamin E, and nettle.

In your effort to grow a beard more quickly, don’t overdo it with these supplements.

Speak to your doctor and explain to them which you will be taking so they can work with you to create a well-rounded and safe supplement routine.

4: Leaving the Beard Alone

During the first month of trying to grow a beard, you are going to find it looks like a wild forest growing on your face. This is when you are going to want to trim it up and start shaping it to look cleaner.

As difficult as it will be during these first few weeks, you have to resist the urge to do any grooming whatsoever of the hair.

Don’t trim, don’t shape, and don’t cut any of the hairs in the beard. As difficult as this might be to understand, the beard is going to grow faster if you can simply leave it alone.

Once you reach the 4 – 6-week mark, then you can begin to shape and clean up the region as much as you like. Forget the old wives tale about trimming the hair makes it grow thicker and darker and faster.

Currently, there is zero scientific evidence that supports those claims.

The hair is going to be stiff those first few weeks, you just need to wait until the point that it softens, then you can clean it up any way you prefer.

5: Drink More Water

Not only your body but also your beard needs enough water to grow faster and fuller. Although that sounds obvious, most men neglect it and don’t hydrate themselves properly.

Water, along with minerals, vitamins, and foods rich in proteins, is essential for your beard to grow faster. Opposite of that, insufficient water will cause your beard to grow slower.

This happens because when you don’t drink as much water as your body needs, the amount of blood that flows to your face will also be reduced, and your beard won’t grow fast.

Without the right amount of water every day, the cells won’t regenerate as quickly as they should because they won’t receive the nutrients needed to do that.

The result is a coarser, drier facial hair that can’t grow fast as you want it to.

Scientists claim that everything between 64 and 80 oz. of water daily is the optimal amount of water an adult man should drink to grow a beard faster.

6: Stop Smoking

Although science hasn’t fully uncovered all the effects that cigarette smoke has on beard growth, there are some conclusions so far.

It’s being discovered that smoking affects the facial hair just as aging. Only a few cigarettes a day unable proper blood circulation to the hair’s root.

This way facial hair cells don’t get enough blood needed for healthy hair growth, and the result is a beard that grows slowly or not at all.

By making you feel like you’ve consumed enough food, even if you didn’t, smoking will prevent you from taking the vitamins and minerals found in food, which you need to grow a beard faster.

And like that isn’t enough, smoking regularly can result in your facial hair turning grey prematurely.

Combine that with your beard not growing fast enough, and you’ll think twice before smoking another cigarette if you want your beard to grow faster.

7: Moisturize Your Beard

Keeping your skin and facial hair clean and moisturized will not only make your beard look fuller over time, but it will also grow faster.

Beard oil made with natural ingredients will ensure that your facial hair is not dry or irritated.

Dry and brittle beard is more likely to break. Whatsmore, you can experience split ends, which in most cases leads to damaging and cutting off your beard.

However, with so many beard oils these days, you may find yourself confused when choosing the right one. After all, not all of them are of the same quality.

Some studies suggest that products with eucalyptus can help grow a beard faster than the others.

8: Condition Your Beard

Beard conditioner and shampoo go hand in hand. The best way to combine them is to wash your facial hair with a beard shampoo first.

It’s preferable to choose beard shampoo made with tea tree oil because it is proven that tea tree oil removes dead skin cells and oil buildups and prevents ingrown facial hairs and dandruff.

After shampoo, it’s time to apply some good beard conditioner. Using only the shampoo can make your facial hair more prone to breaking.

A conditioner will help your facial hair be softer and healthier, helping your beard grow faster.

9: Taking Care of Your Body

The reason why it is so important to take care of the body is that your facial hair condition is in direct relation to the health of the body.

Start by eating more foods that are rich in proteins like beans, eggs, and fish.

Stress is a killer when it comes to hair growth, leading to hair loss in many men.

Reduce the stress in your life by exercising more and getting a full night’s sleep each night.

Exercising will improve the circulation of the blood in the body, which will help to promote facial hair growth.

Use an exfoliant or scrub once a week to remove the dead cells on the face. This will help stimulate new beard hair growth.

10: Stop Picking Your Beard Constantly

Ideas are often born from beard stroking. But stroking your facial hair occasionally is one thing, and constant grabbing and picking it something entirely different.

If you’re always plucking your beard, you may soon experience your facial hair falling off, causing unnatural patchiness.

Some men don’t grab their beards, but instead, they brush or comb it more often than necessary with hard materials. Once to two times a day is usually enough.

In any of these cases, you’re not helping your beard grow faster. In fact, you’re doing quite the opposite. If you really want your beard to grow faster, just leave it alone.

11: Don’t Fall For Common Beard Grooming Myths

Shaving does not make your beard grow faster. There, we said it.

You can’t remove your beard entirely and at the same time expect it to grow faster.

Other myths have a lot to do with products that promise faster beard growth. Again, it doesn’t exist pill you can just swallow and grow your beard faster.

Mostly, products that promise instant beard growth are beard growth oils and beard growth sprays. Both of these don’t work at all.

Beard oil does have a lot of benefits, but growing your beard out of the blue is not one of them.
