However, some guys find it difficult to grow their beards the way they want. This blog is therefore for you.
What are the ways to grow a beard naturally?
1. Hydrate your skin
Use a moisturising lotion after cleansing your skin to prevent dryness and enhance the appearance of your skin by eliminating dry, flaky skin. Because eucalyptus encourages the growth of facial hair, using a moisturiser with this ingredient can be beneficial.
2. Take care of your skin
Washing your face with warm water and a gentle cleanser will keep it clean. Your pores will be opened by the warm water, and the cleanser will remove all the oil and debris that have built up on your skin, leaving it squeaky clean. But be careful not to wash your face with a harsh soap. Small hair grows more readily on clean skin.
3. Look for ingrown hairs on your face
A shaved or tweezed hair that grows back into the skin is what is known as an ingrown hair. Your skin becomes inflamed as a result. Ingrown hairs on your face prevent your beard from growing in properly. So make sure you are ingrown hair-free. Your skin’s natural exfoliation will help in removing the ingrowth.
4. Utilize supplements and vitamins
Take vitamins and supplements to stimulate the growth of your beard. It is well known that daily intake of biotin promotes faster growth of the hair and nails. For improved facial hair, add vitamin B, B1, B6, and B12 to your diet. Incorporate more fresh fruits and vegetables and protein into your diet. The right vitamins and minerals that come from fruits and vegetables will give your body everything it needs for rapid hair growth.
5. Don’t trim
Keep your beard as is. Do not trim or style your beard if you want it to grow long. When it is full, trim the beard after about 4 to 6 weeks because there is no scientific proof that shaving will promote your hair to grow thicker and faster. Additionally, when the hair develops, your face can get irritated; if this happens, see a doctor if a rash starts to appear.
6. Reduce stress
In order for your injured skin cells to heal, you must control your stress levels and get enough sleep. This will encourage the growth of beards. Beards will grow faster when you are at ease. Exercise to reduce stress; the increased blood flow can also hasten hair growth.
There are a few natural oils that you can try to grow your beard. Here are a few of them.
7. Massage with Coconut Oil
One of the finest ways to promote beard development is to massage coconut oil over your beard. If you don’t have rosemary oil, you can simply use coconut oil to massage your beard if you don’t want to combine it with it. Just a little warming of the oil will yield more advantages. Use a cotton ball to apply it, and let it on for at least 15 minutes. Do this three times per week for the best results.
8. Amla oil massage
Amla sometimes referred to as Indian gooseberry, is a natural hair supplement that promotes the development of beards and moustaches. The oil optimises the pH level of the hair follicles, gets rid of flaky skin, and creates a calm environment for the beard to grow, which is why it works. The oil also contains vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that fights free radicals. Simply apply the oil on your beard, massage it, and then remove it with cold water after 25 minutes.
9. Lemon-Cinnamon Mix
Citric acid, calcium, and vitamin C, found in abundance in lemons, assist in lessening beard dandruff, and cinnamon enhances the flow of blood-carrying nutrients to the hair follicles. Both have qualities that support the development of beards. All you have to do is combine some lemon juice with ground cinnamon. Mix everything together, and then leave the mixture on your facial hair for at least 30 minutes. Rinse it off with some cold water. For best results, use this twice each week.
10. Exfoliate your skin
You must begin taking care of your face if you want to develop a beard more quickly. Start by properly cleansing, hydrating, and exfoliating. Using a scrub or exfoliant, you should exfoliate your skin once each week. This will encourage the growth of new hair and assist in removing all the dead skin cells.
