TIPS FOR HOW TO GROW A BETTER BEARD

TIPS FOR HOW TO GROW A
BETTER BEARD

Created by Joshua Bartlett

HAVE A GOOD SKIN CARE
ROUTINE

You have to take care of the skin
underneath your beard to help it grow.
With face cleansers and moisturizers,
you can avoid skin irritation, beardruff
and more. Stimulating your skin will
also get your blood flowing, giving you
the best chance of growing a thicker,
fuller beard.

KEEP YOUR STRESS LOW &
YOUR REST HIGH

Stress has negative effects on your
entire body — including beard growth.
Immense amounts of stress can
release cortisol which harms your
testosterone levels and leads to
vasoconstriction, meaning there's less
blood flow and fewer nutrients reaching
your beard hair, thus limiting facial hair
growth.

EAT WELL & EXERCISE

You might enjoy french fries and
donuts as much as the next guy, but
you know they aren't good for you. A
well-balanced diet can help you grow
thicker facial hair or ensure that your
beard grows as strong as possible.

DRINK ENOUGH WATER

Never underestimate the power of
H2O. Staying hydrated is crucial to
moving nutrients throughout your body,
including to your beard hair. A thicker,
fuller beard needs nutrients, and water
is the catalyst for getting them there. It
also helps keep the skin hydrated. The
old barometer of drinking eight to 10
glasses of water a day is a good start.
And, unfortunately, proper hydration
means cutting back on the whiskey and
beer, too.

TAKE VITAMINS

If you aren't getting enough out of your
diet, take some vitamins and other
supplements to maintain good beard
growth. While there are some "beard
vitamins" on the market, a general daily
men's vitamin will have what you need
to grow a thicker beard. These include
biotin, vitamins E, C and D, zinc,
magnesium and more. Vitamin D is
particularly important for testosterone.
They're all about promoting your
overall health, which in turn promotes
beard growth.

USE PROPER BEARD CARE
PRODUCTS

Using the right beard care products will
help to keep your facial hair and the
skin beneath healthy. Beard oil, in
particular, is great for moisturizing and
promoting the growth of a full, thick
beard. Adding a beard wash and beard
enhancer to your routine is also a good
step.

STYLE YOUR BEARD IN A WAY
THAT WORKS FOR YOU

Every man's face is different, and
getting your facial hair to go with that
shape can provide the appearance of a
thicker, fuller beard. This includes
utilizing different lengths to your
advantage — you can trim (not shave)
certain areas while leaving other hairs
longer to help with patchy beards and
play with dense beard styles.

STOP SHAVING

Shaving does not give you a thicker,
fuller beard. That's an old wive's tale.
All it does is cut your hair strands —
the follicles are still the same. After
being clean shaven, your hair will grow
back the same as before, and you
won't suddenly have thick beard hairs.
Beard hair needs time to grow, and
shaving just extends that time.

BE PATIENT

One of the best ways to grow a thicker
beard is to give it time. Your beard
won't grow faster by some sort of
miracle. You just have to wait, be
patient and give your body time to
adapt to all the previous tips we've
given you.
