A healthy diet can reduce the time it takes to grow a beard and helps hair to remain in the anagen phase longer. Foods rich in vitamins A, B, C, and E help enhance beard health, as do foods that include magnesium, iron, zinc, selenium, and silica.
Foods such as fish, chicken, eggs, salmon, yogurt, tofu, and others, represent great sources of protein. Fruits such as apples, strawberries, apricots, bananas, and peaches will help speed up the beard-growing process, as will carrots, avocado, spinach, lettuce, broccoli, tomatoes, asparagus, peppers, and other vegetables.
Getting regular exercise is another way to improve your health and wellness, and a healthy man is one who should have fewer problems growing a beard and growing one faster. Among the many benefits of exercise, is that it increases testosterone levels and testosterone is the hormone primarily responsible for beard growth.
It also helps to improve your blood circulation which, in turn, is another way to enhance your facial hair growth. Weight lifting, including exercises such as bench presses, deadlifts, squats, and rows, can give your testosterone levels a nice boost. Running also helps to improve testosterone levels, although sprint workouts are better than long-distance running.
A sprint workout could consist of all-out sprinting for 20 to 30 seconds followed by walking for 90 seconds, for example. Moreover, exercise is a great way to reduce stress and various studies show that excess stress can lead to slower hair growth, or even hair loss on your scalp.
You can add sufficient sleep to the ways you can improve the rate of your beard growth. Ideally, you should get eight to nine hours of uninterrupted sleep daily because it helps promote immune health and manages stress. A lowered immunity means less hair growth on the face and scalp, and practicing stress management techniques such as yoga, meditation, and mindfulness will help you and your beard. Keeping your facial skin clean is particularly important if you work out a lot because of the excess sweat that may lead to skin irritation.
Apply Beard Wash to the base of your beard hair and skin, use your fingertips to rub it down to the skin while massaging it in gently, then rinse. Apply Beard Softener to your beard and leave it in for a couple minutes before you rinse it out. Another lifestyle factor that can influence beard growth is smoking.
We mentioned earlier that nothing influences beard growth as much as testosterone, which is a key male hormone that regulates muscle mass, red blood cells, fertility, and fat distribution.
Women also have low levels of testosterone in their bodies, but not nearly the amount found in men. The brain and pituitary gland control testosterone production and levels. It moves through the blood to carry out its many important tasks. What does all this mean for beard growth? Well, for starters, testosterone plays a key role in the health of facial and scalp hair.
Men with more testosterone can grow thicker, longer beards than other men, at least in most cases. DHT is an androgen and helps give men their male characteristics. Like testosterone, DHT also helps power beard growth but, interestingly, can wreak havoc on scalp hair. DHT decreases scalp hair follicles, which leads to male pattern baldness. Not to worry, you have yet to reach your full beard potential. Regardless of age, we recommend guys dedicate a full two months to grow their beard.
Even in the early stages, you need to trim your beard. As mentioned above, different parts of your beard grow at different rates. After about a month of growth, an untrimmed beard will begin to look unbalanced. Trimming the longer parts down will help reduce the appearance of a patchy beard as the slower growth areas catch up.
Early-stage trimming is easy: pick a clipper and guard length and go. Same setting all the way around. You can start shaping more as your beard transitions from stubble to a fuller beard. Wash your face and stubble every day with a specialized face and beard cleanser. Once your stubble transitions into beard length, wash your beard with a beard cleanser once or twice a week.
In their teenage years, boys experience a spike in testosterone, which results in that unfortunate phase of patchy, unreliable facial hair growth that many young men experience.
This is purely coincidental. Your body was simply sorting out the kinks of adulthood at the same time you happened to be learning to shave. Regardless of when or how you shave, your facial hair will always grow at approximately the same rate: about one-quarter-inch per month.
Optical illusion plays no small role in the long life of the shave-your-way-to-thicker-hair myth. The individual strands of your hair are tapered on the ends, and when you shave them, effectively sheering all of those tapered strands into flat ends, they look thicker to the naked eye.
Hair appears last in the neck area. Adult men typically have thousands of beard hairs. The number of hair follicles is determined at birth, by genetics. Some ethnicities like men from the Far East China, Japan have less beard hair which mainly grows around the mouth.
Every face is unique and there are large differences in hair growth patterns between men and even between different areas of the same face. In reality, most beard hairs grow out of the skin at a much lower angle, especially in the neck area. The average beard hair diameter is 0. This is almost twice the diameter of the hair on the scalp.
This makes beard hair a lot coarser than scalp hair.
