Better understand how beards grow
Beard hair, like scalp hair, grows in stages. So that you can better understand how to maximize the potential of your beard, I'll explain this in a little more detail!
A "full" beard can take 2 to 4 months to growThis is because facial hair grows 0.3 to 0.5 millimeters (mm) every 24 hours.
Many factors can affect the growth of your beard, but there are tips and tricks to improve your beard growth.
First, let's look at the stages of growing your beard...
The stages of beard growth
If you don't shave and let your beard grow, it's good to know that facial hair grows in stages.
The hair may grow faster and be fuller in some areasespecially in the beginning. Be patient, as this is a normal growth process for most men.
- At the end of the first weekYou have a good estimate of how fast or slow your beard will grow.
- This stage takes about 2 weeks. During this time, you will notice if you are going to have holes and areas where the beard is sparse.
- After these two weeks, your beard should have grown well. You should have almost a full beard, which is well defined. If you do not have a satisfactory result after a little moreone month of growthis that you may not be able to grow a full beard.
- At this point, you are approximately in your second month of growth. If you see that your beard has grown well, you can start to go to your favorite barbershop ! This will allow you to trim it and adopt the beard style that you want. This will help you will avoid having hairs that go in all directions !

It's up to you to decide if you'd rather keep it that way or continue to grow it and maintain it like a pro !
What changes the speed of your beard growth?
Various factors can change the speed of your beard growth by speeding it up or slowing it down.
For example, among the most important factors is your :
- Beard care
- Genetic heritage
- Age
- Skin
- Global health
- Power supply
- Stress rate
- Testosterone and DHT levels
These are just a few criteria that can change the rate at which your beard hair grows.
Beard care
Beards are like anything else. If you don't take care of it, you won't have a good one. It makes sense: women take good care of their hair and skin to keep them shiny and beautiful.
To maintain your beard:
- Use of beard oils as castor oil. If your goal is to grow your beard faster, read this article on oils that improve beard growth.
- Brush and comb it frequently with a boar bristle brush and a beard comb
- Apply beard balm
- Wash it often to keep it healthy and free of germs
The genetic heritage
As with many things, genetics come into play and play a fairly important role. If the men in your family are beardless or nearly so, you are unlikely to have a big, full beard.
This is not an absolute truth but it is a factor to consider. Check with your male relatives to find out what's going on!
The skin
The skin is the base of your hair. It is what serves as the "support" for your hair. The hair follicles (hair roots) are just underneath and will "pierce" your skin to make the famous beard hairs come out.
Healthy, moisturized and nourished skin is more likely to grow beautiful, shiny and strong hair. This may sound logical, but I think it's important to point out: I see far too many men who don't take care of their skin.
Your health and that of your body
Needless to say, good health and a healthy lifestyle will improve your beard growth... If?
A healthy body will more easily nourish your skin, your hair and it will be easier for you to grow.
For example, playing sports and being physically active greatly improves your physical (and mental, by the way) state.
Testosterone and DHT levels
Quite known by the bearded ones who wish to have longer and stronger hairs, the testosterone and the DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) level play an important role in the growth of your beard.
These are the ones that will regulate the growth of your hair, by acting at the heart of your hormones.
Conclusion on beard growth and its speed
Now that you know how fast your beard grows (between 0.3 mm and 0.5 mm per day), it's easier to estimate how long it will take you to get a good big beard.
You will be able to braid your beard, y make dreadlocks, add beads and rings to your hair ... The choice is great and the only thing that will block you is your imagination (and fashion if you want :D)
Later, you can have fun styling your white beard and get a new look to be stylish!
Anyway, the main thing to know is that you have to take care of your beard, your hair and your body. It is essential if you want to have beautiful, healthy and shiny hair!
