How To Grow Beard Faster And Thicker? Is It That Hard?

If you have passed the golden age of beard growing and still have that patchy stubble, you might be worried about why you haven’t gotten the lush and luxurious beard that you always wanted.

Well, having a thick and long beard is not everyone’s cup of tea, and some people don’t grow a beard even at the age of thirty.

But, if you are impatient and want to grow your beard as soon as possible, then there is something you can do.

Proper exfoliation, beard care routine, balanced diet, and hydration help a lot with growing the beard faster. To achieve all this, we will explore the wonders of beard care in this post!

But, there is much more into it, and that is why I am going to break down the art of growing your beard faster so you can get the beard of your dreams in no time.

Factors That Can Affect Your Beard Growth

Before we get into the methods to grow a beard faster, you must understand the few things that can potentially affect your beard growth are.

Once you identify these factors, you can easily target them and grow your beard faster than ever because, to be honest, a slow-growing beard is a hassle.

Step up your skin care routine

If you are not treating your skin the right way, it will never help grow your beard faster, and sometimes buildup of dead skin cells also drastically affects your beard growth.

If your skin is parched and you are not hydrating it properly, it will also affect the growth of your beard.

Also, having oily skin and stripping away all the oils from it that can help with beard growth is yet another factor why you won’t be able to grow a beard in a short time.

Genes does matter

When it comes to beard growth, genes also play a key role because if your father had a patchy and slow-growing beard, your beard may also turn out to be the same.

Hair follicles have a lot to do with your genes, and that is why you won’t be able to grow a faster beard if it is not in your genes.

Also, different genetical disorders inhibit your beard growth and stop your beard from growing faster.

Testosterone Levels

If your body has low testosterone levels, then it can potentially result in a patchy beard and slow beard growth.

Also, taking the stress and having a disturbed routine can decrease testosterone levels so, they are also an important factor in beard growth.

Also, when you are stressed, your body produces Cortisol that can also result in hair fall and a patchy beard.

Get that routine straight!

People often avoid the smaller mistakes that they make in their daily lives that drastically affect their health and body.

Improper routine is one of these mistakes. When your routine is not set, and you are not giving yourself enough self-care time, your body will never be completely healthy.

And, in an unhealthy body, you won’t be able to grow your beard at a faster pace. You must set a routine for yourself.

When you don’t sleep for 8 hours, work out, or eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner properly, how can you expect to grow a beard faster?

If you want to increase the rate of your beard growth, then you would need to make some lifestyle changes.

I know that you cannot suddenly change everything, and I know that it will take time but, try to maintain your routine for the sake of your dear beard.

Top 10 Things To Do For Faster Beard Growth

If you add the following 10 things to your daily routine, your beard will thrive like never before, and I have tried them all so, you can count on them.

1.     Do Chemical Exfoliation

If you don’t have a chemical exfoliator in your skincare routine yet, what are you even doing? These exfoliants are all the hype on Instagram because of how good they are.

Using a physical scrub might not work as effectively as constant physical exfoliation can even damage your skin and strip away all your natural oils that can aid in beard growth.

When you use a good quality chemical exfoliator on your face, it removes all the dead skin and clears your skin out.

When the skin is clean and free from gunk and dead cells, it is easier for beard hair to grow, and that is how chemical exfoliation promotes beard growth.

Also, you are supposed to use the chemical exfoliants only once or twice a week to give a splash of freshness to your skin and boost your beard growth.

2.     Munch On Healthy Foods

It is often said that you are what you eat, and if you are not eating healthy, you can never get a healthy and luxurious beard in a short time.

As a balanced diet is important for the proper functioning of your body, it is also important for faster beard growth.

So, munch on all the following food groups if you want to boost your beard growth.

Vegetables: Eating vegetables might sound like cliched advice, but it is the best one you can ever get as vegetables are worth it.

Potatoes, cabbage, kale, spinach, onions, all these vegetables contain so many nutrients that they can potentially kickstart your beard growth like never before.

Fruits: Fruit might not be your favorite food group, but it most certainly is the best one because of how amazingly nutritious they are.

Apple, grapes, Kiwi, oranges, and many more common fruits can help you grow a beard faster if you consume them regularly. Also, they are quite yummy.

Dairy: Dairy is a great source of biotin and other nutritious compounds, and that is why you need to add dairy to your daily routine.

Milk, cheese, and yogurt are very effective sources of dairy, and you can easily add them to your meals to get a well-balanced diet.

Proteins: The most important part of your diet are proteins. They improve your beard growth amazingly and can even help you in faster beard growth.

Beef, chicken, eggs, and lentils are really good sources of complete protein that can provide you with all the nutrition your body needs for the swift growth of your beard.

3.     Take Supplements

People do not munch on different supplements without any reason, and the major cause behind using supplements is because they keep you healthy and happy.

When it comes to faster beard growth specifically, you need to go for Biotin, Vitamin B5, Vitamin C, Niacin, and Vitamin E.

All these supplements can help you grow your beard faster because your diet may lack them, which is why you are going through a patchy beard.

Also, make sure that you get high-quality supplements because there are a lot of dupes available in the market, and you don’t want to further delay your beard growth.

4.     Tailor A Beard Care Routine

Your beard care routine is the most important thing that can potentially up your beard game and can aid you in faster beard growth.

You need to keep your beard care routine simple yet effective, and that is why I am giving you a few simple products you need for beard growth.

A Good Quality Cleanser: Investing in a good quality cleanser would do wonders for your skin and your beard.

You should pick a cleanser according to your skin type. Any cleanser with Salicylic acid is a good option if you are looking for a basic cleanser that does the deed.

Cleansers remove all the dead skin cells from your skin and give you a clean surface so that your beard can grow faster without any hassle.

Moisturizer: Using a good quality moisturizer is key to having hydrated skin and hydrated hair follicles, and when your follicles are hydrated, you grow your beard faster.

Using a moisturizer twice a day or whenever your skin feels dry helps you lock in the hydration in the skin and promote faster beard growth.

Beard Oil: Beard oil is a really important part of the beard care routine because it specifically targets your hair growth and makes it faster.

There are numerous hair oils available in the market but make sure to opt for the one that is organic and free from all types of chemicals and additives.

Use a beard oil regularly and massage it on your beard gently to stimulate hair follicles; this can help a lot with faster beard growth.

Beard Growth Serum: Beard growth serums are also very popular these days, and that is all because of the results you get with these amazing serums.

They make your hair manageable and contain so many natural ingredients that can miraculously boost your hair growth.

You will start growing hair in no time if you use beard serum with consistency along with other beard care products.

5.     Do Not Shave

Shaving does not help your beard grow, and if you constantly shave your beard, it won’t be able to grow faster at all.

Give some time to your beard to analyze its growth speed because typically, the beard grows 2 inches every month, so you can see whether your beard is growing at this pace or not.

Also, the initial stage of growing a beard is long, so when you are shaving your beard, you are just elongating the process of your beard growth.

You can go for a trim once in a while if you think your beard looks messy and need a good touch-up for it.

6.     Be Consistent

Consistency is the key to the fast growth of your beard, and if you stay consistent, you will reach your goal in no time.

Whether you are following a beard care routine or just eating clean and healthy, you will see results if you stay consistent in it.

Also, occasionally using a product won’t work, so if you want to grow a beard faster, use everything with consistency to maximize the results.

7.     Sleep, sleep and sleep!

Sleep might sound like a minor factor, and most people assume that it has nothing to do with your beard growth.

As a matter of fact, sleep can have a profound effect on your mental and physical health. If you do not sleep well, you will go through stress and anxiety.

This stress will lower your testosterone levels, which are mainly responsible for the growth of your beard.

So, sleeping well is the key to growing a beard faster. Get a beauty sleep of 8-9 hours daily and treat yourself the way you deserve.

8.     Try Out Micro-Needling

If nothing else is working, micro-needling is the best way to go for you because it not only improves the health of your beard but also makes your beard grow faster.

You can go for micro-needling sessions or buy a derma roller and do it yourself but, you need to do thorough research before going into it as micro-needling is not for everybody.

Micro-needling helps in stimulating blood circulation in your beard area and also increases the production of collagen.

Collagen plays a key role in your beard’s growth, so micro-needling makes your beard grow faster.

But, make sure to consult your doctor before going for micro-needling as it is not for everybody. Some people might have extremely sensitive or acne-prone skin.

Such people avoid using a derma roller on their face as the needles can cause breakouts or even result in irritation or allergy.

9.     Workout Regularly, Good for Body and Mind!

Working out regularly also aids in growing your beard faster because when you exercise daily, you stay fit and stress-free.

Working out helps with better blood circulation, and when you are fit, your body functions properly so, your beard growth will also increase.

Whether you are doing low-impact cardio, high-intensity workouts, or just yoga, just do it with consistency and positivity, and your beard will thank you.

Also, when you exercise, you feel active and happier, which helps fight all types of stress and increase your testosterone levels, boosting your beard growth!

10.     Avoid Smoking

If you want to boost up your beard growth, then you need to avoid smoking. Smoking is really bad for the growth of your beard, and it also causes hair loss.

Smoking also affects your testosterone levels that are directly related to beard health and beard growth. Quitting smoking is the best way to give a kickstart to your beard growth.

Tobacco also causes inflammation and damages your blood vessels as well so if you reduce your tobacco consumption, you can reduce all this damage and can increase the growth of your beard.

Natural Oils That Can Speed Up Beard Growth

Certain natural oils are known to speed up the growth of your beard if used regularly. These oils are:

• Tea tree oil
• Jojoba oil
• Argon oil
• Coconut oil
• Sunflower oil
• Castor oil

All of these oils do wonders for your beard, and you can even mix a few drops of two of these oils and apply them together on your beard daily.

If you don’t like the scent of these oils and it is a little unpleasant and overwhelming for you, then you can also add a few drops of lavender oil.

Lavender oil is not only great for faster beard growth, but it also gives a nice and sweet aroma to the oils so you can easily apply them to your face.

If you have oily skin, don’t overuse the oils, as people with oily skin tend to break out if they use excessive oils on their skin.

But if you have normal to dry skin, then these oils are just the right option for you as they not only increase the growth rate of your beard but also make it look thicker and healthier.

You can easily find these oils in the market, and there are different brands as well that you can go for but, make sure that you are purchasing organic forms of these oils.

The best time to apply these oils is either at night, before sleep, or in the morning after a long and relaxing shower.

I prefer lathering up my beard with oil at night because then the oils get enough time to be absorbed in the skin and fasten up beard growth.

Conclusion

Growing a beard faster is not an easy thing to do but with these 10 tips, it most certainly is not impossible because I know you can do it.

All you need is a little consistency and dedication for the sake of your beard, and only then will you be able to see the results.

Keep taking care of your beard and follow a proper beard care routine with special shampoo and conditioners for your beard because it deserves all the love and care in the world.

Wishing you a lot of luck with your beard growth journey!
