5 Simple Steps To Grow Your Beard Faster

In many cultures around the world, a symbol of power is a thick and rugged beard.

Growing a mustache or a full beard does take some perseverance and patience, especially since the growth rate will depend on your individual testosterone level and genetics.

While nature plays a huge role in just how fast and thick your beard will be, there are some simple steps you can incorporate into your day to help along the growing process.

Don’t get discouraged if your beard is not growing as quickly as you like, just follow some of these five simple steps on how to grow a beard faster and stay committed to the process.

Step 1: Taking Care of Your Body

The reason why it is so important to take care of the body is because your facial hair condition is in direct relation to the health of the body.

Start by eating more foods that are rich in proteins like beans, eggs, and fish.

Stress is a killer when it comes to hair growth, leading to hair loss in many men. Reduce the stress in your life by exercising more and getting a full night’s sleep each night.

Exercising will improve the circulation of the blood in the body, which will help to promote facial hair growth.

Use an exfoliant or scrub once a week to remove the dead cells on the face. This will help stimulate the growth of new hair.

Try to make it a point each day to keep the face as clean as possible, rinsing with warm water and mild soap (one of the best) at least each morning and evening.

The clean facial skin encourages tiny hairs to grow.

Keep in mind that nothing beats well rounded and healthy eating habits. Food in the list below are guaranteed to promote rapid hair growth.

Step 2: Committing to the Process

One of the reasons many men struggle to grow a beard quickly is they often give up just at the point where progress is being made.

When you are trying to grow that beard quickly, there is going to come a period where the skin will become itchy to the point you are scratching your beard day and night.

This discomfort is usually where those who are not serious about growing a beard simply shave it right off.

In order for the beard to grow in, you have to be willing to allow at least four weeks for the hairs to grow.

Take a look at this 100 days of beard growth time lapse:

During these four weeks, you are going to go through many periods of uncontrollable itching.

If you avoid that temptation to shave it off when the itching becomes unbearable, you will reach a point where the hairs will soften and the itching will subside. Once the hair is soft, the growth will be less irritating.

Step 3: Minerals and Vitamins

In addition to eating better, you can help your beard grow faster by supplementing your diet with the appropriate minerals and vitamins.

Talk with your physician about taking at least 2 mg of biotin (best seller) each day.

This supplement is available in health food and vitamin stores, and will help to increase both the growth of your nails and your facial hair.

Start to incorporate more vegetables and fruits in your diet, they are rich in the minerals and vitamins that the hair needs in order to grow more rapidly.

Without the appropriate nutrients in your body, you begin to slow down the production of the hair.

Look into increasing your daily intake of vitamin B6, beta-carotene, vitamin C, flax seed oil, vitamin E, and nettle (we suggest taking high-quality Multivitamin – Men’s One Multivitamin ).

In your effort to grow your beard more quickly, don’t overdo it with these supplements.

Speak with your doctor and explain to them which you will be taking so they can work with you to create a well-rounded and safe supplement routine.

Step 4: Leaving the Beard Alone

During the first month of trying to grow your beard, you are going to find it looks like a wild forest growing on your face. This is when you are going to want to trim it up and start shaping it to look cleaner.

As difficult as it will be during these first few weeks, you have to resist the urge to do any grooming whatsoever of the hair.

Don’t trim, don’t shape, and don’t cut any of the hairs in the beard. As difficult as this might be to understand, the beard is going to grow faster if you can simply leave it alone.

Once you reach the 4 – 6 week mark, then you can begin to shape and clean up the region as much as you like. Forget the old wives tale about trimming the hair makes it grow thicker and darker and faster.

Currently, there is zero scientific evidence that supports those claims.

The hair is going to be stiff those first few weeks, you just need to wait until the point that it softens, then you can clean it up any way you prefer.

Step 5: Working With Your Beard

One of the things that you need to understand in your efforts to grow a beard quickly is that the facial hair is not like the hair on your head.

When you start growing your beard, the hairs simply will not fill in every single spot on the face where the beard will be.

No matter how hard you try, there are going to be small areas that hair simply won’t grow, so the only way to work around this issue is to let the beard grow long enough that it fills in and hides any bare spots that you may have.

Your genetics is going to determine where and how many spots will have no hair, so don’t get discouraged if you see full growth in one are and nothing in another.

Once the hairs have grown in full, you can easily change the style to a mustache with thinner beard or go with a goatee.

These five steps are designed to help you to encourage hair growth. Resist shaving the entire beard each week hoping that will encourage new growth.

Cutting too soon will begin slowing down the growth process. Let it grow a month, trim and shape it with shaper, then it will grow quickly from there.
