Patience is a Virtue – We are all not cut from the same cloth. Everyone’s hair & by extension facial hair grow at different speeds, coverage & area. We all can’t grow the same kind of beard, but most men can grow their own style of facial hair. Sometimes it takes a month, sometimes it takes a year. Like a soufflé, you must let it become its own.
Healthy Living for a Healthy Beard – Your hair is a reflection of your personal health & overall general well-being. Maximizing your blood flow efficiency is a good place to start. Beards grow from the nutrients your blood transmits to it. Poor blood flow means poor nutrients reaching its destination. Proper rest & sleep is a definite must. In addition to proper rest, a regular exercise regimen coupled with a well-balanced diet will improve your health and hair growth.
Testosterone to the Max – Regular exercise produces testosterone. Testosterone is a hormone directly related to hair growth amongst other factors. Optimizing your testosterone levels will maximize the potential of your beard genetics.
Don’t Forget About Skin Care – It’s important to remember that your hair grows out of your sin. So it is important to maintain good skin. Washing your face every day while performing an exfoliation scrub once or twice a week is sufficient skin maintenance. Once completed remember to reinvigorate your skin’s hydration with a moisturizer.
Right Tool for the Right Job – They say cleanliness is next to godliness. In this case it’s also next to beardliness. A regular schedule of shampoo specializing in beards twice a week is a good base.
