HOW TO GROW A BEARD

Identify Your Beard Goals

Different men have their different beard goals; from the shape of the beard to the fullness and the style, knowing exactly what you want for your beard is the first step towards growing it. This will allow you to make targeted decisions while you groom and grow your beards. Everything, even your choice of beard growth kit should be influenced by the style you want to achieve.

Let the beard grow

Yep, you read that right.  It is often said that patience is a virtue, this statement has never been as applicable as it is in this scenario. In your journey, there may be times when you have a patchy beard growth - especially sparse hair on your goatee, and cheeks even if you use a great beard butter.

When this happens, it can get tempting to shave it off but don't do that. You should know, that a beard transforms into something new every week, so allow the beard to grow on its own accord. You’ll be surprised what it will become.

Mind the perimeter

In other to maintain a beard, you have to keep it defined. It is advisable to shave the neckline and clean up the cheek line to keep it more beard-like and less neckbeard - except you’re aiming at growing a wooly stoner beard.

Trim it as it grows

We may never understand the hair dynamics of trimming leading to more growth but that same technique applies to beard growth. As your beard grows, trimming and sculpting help to fasten the growth of healthier beard hair as the split ends are taken out. This method will help direct the hair exactly where it needs to be; fuller in some spots and less so in others.

Brush it out every night

Brushing your beard helps to exfoliate the skin beneath the beard. The process lifts dead skin cells and prevents future flaking. It also helps to distribute the natural oil produced in the skin and the beard products you use, collected at the base of the shaft so it can wholly nourish the bottom of each hair.

 

TIPS TO CARE FOR YOUR BEARD

Wash your beard

Just like you need to wash your hair, your beard also needs to be washed. We will advise that you wash your beard between two to three times weekly with an all-natural beard wash. This will help prevent sweat and excess oil build-up in your beard. Go for sulfate-free beard washes with natural ingredients instead of chemical-based shampoo to avoid drying out the beard and frizz.

Keep your beard hydrated and conditioned

Asides from cleaning your beard, it also needs to be super fine and shiny - this is where a great beard oil and beard butter comes in.  Beard oils keep your beard conditioned, and shiny, and it also moisturizes the skin underneath your beard, preventing itching, and flakes. Overall, it helps you maintain the perfect follicle health.

Maintain a healthy diet

Nutrition will always play a major role in the growth of our body hairs and your beard is no different. Your diet will determine how fast your beard grows and how glaringly great it will look. Ensure your diet is rich in Omega-3, vitamins, proteins, and fats so your beard can grow to its full potential.
