How to speed up beard growth
While some men experience beard growth seemingly overnight, others have to wait a little bit longer for their facial hair to grow. Although every man is different, there are some things you can do to speed up the process a little and see the results that you desire without having to wait for too long. So, here are some things you can try to help you grow a beard more quickly.
Exfoliate and moisturise your skin
Your facial hair grows more quickly when the skin it is growing on is healthy and nourished. Exfoliation is a process that removes dead skin cells from the outer layer of the skin on your face, which improves its appearance and its overall condition.
When done properly, exfoliation enables moisturisers and other products to work more efficiently and provides the perfect foundation on which your facial hair can thrive. Once you have exfoliated your skin, apply a natural, nourishing moisturiser that ensures your skin has all of the nutrients it needs.
Stay hydrated
It might seem overly simplistic, but all aspects of your body work more efficiently when you are hydrated. When you’re dehydrated, your cells aren’t able to regenerate as quickly, and they don’t receive the required nutrients to thrive.
This is true for the cells within your hair follicles. Not only will it take longer for a dehydrated person to grow a beard, but it will also be coarser and more brittle as a result. So, make sure you’re taking at least 64-80 oz. of water each day.
Eat the right foods
It probably won’t surprise you to hear that the food you eat contributes to the speed at which you can grow a beard. After all, your diet is your body’s primary source of nutrients, so the more nutritious your diet, the quicker your beard will grow. Focus particularly on foods that are rich in Vitamins A, B, C, and E, as well as proteins. By eating the right foods, your bloodstream will be rich with the required proteins and nutrients that stimulate hair growth, which contributes to how quickly you can grow a beard.
Don’t cut your beard
It’s amazing how many people think that cutting or trimming your beard makes it grow back more quickly. But let’s clear this up once and for all, this is a myth!
Cutting your beard when it gets to that awkward length won’t cause it to grow back any quicker in the future; it will just set you back as you hope to achieve your beard growth goals. So, instead of cutting your beard when it gets to an awkward length, let it grow out.
