The perfect beard doesn’t just appear on your face overnight. To develop and maintain a thick beard you can be proud of, you need to ensure you’re using the right products and maintain some patience. Below are five ways that you can keep your beard thick and looking great this year.
Use our Beard Booster
Our beard booster is ideal if you’re hoping to fill gaps in your beard and achieve fuller facial hair. Containing a 3% Minoxidil solution, when applied correctly, it is able to stimulate growth in your hair follicles and could help to create a thicker, fuller beard. After three months of application, you should start seeing the results of daily application, helping you enhance your beard hair in the long term.
Let it grow
Anyone who has ever sported a beard will acknowledge the awkward mid-length that is begging to be trimmed. It’s often patchy and characterised by annoying swirls and errant hairs that don;t look great. But instead of cutting your beard at this stage, we suggest getting through it and giving your hair enough time to grow over the patches. Allow your beard to grow untrimmed for at least a month before considering tidying things up significantly.
Maintain a healthy diet
On top of improving your overall wellbeing, eating the right things and following a balanced diet could have an impact on your beard growth. This is because obesity can lower testosterone levels in your body, which is one of the key determinants in how well you’re able to grow facial hair. Eating nutritious foods that are high in vitamins, healthy fats, zinc, and healthy carbohydrates may all contribute positively to hair growth and keep your beard looking fuller and thicker.
Wash and exfoliate your facial hair
Maintaining a full and thick beard requires work - there’s no doubt about that. Developing a routine around your beard maintenance will help you achieve those desired results. We suggest regularly exfoliating your face, as this removes any dead skin and debris from around your hair follicles, while also preventing ingrown hairs from taking position underneath your beard. You should then wash and condition your beard, just as you treat your hair, to ensure it stays clean and healthy.
Be mindful of the shaving myth
There’s a long-held rumour that shaving your beard will make it grow back quicker. Unfortunately, this is a myth - shaving your beard will not help it grow back fuller, and it will not affect its colour or shape. If you want your beard to look thick and full, you need to give it the freedom to grow. Shaving your facial hair will simply set you back and won’t help you in the long run.
