Grow Your Beard » With These Care Tips, It Will Work!

If you grow out your beard without taking care of it, you can expect an unsatisfactory result. If you want to grow a beard, you should have a plan and follow a few basic rules. There is a difference between a truly beautiful beard and just a few wild stubbles.

 

Growing a Beard: Here's How

If you want to grow a beard, you should keep a few tips in mind. Simply letting it grow is not enough.

1. Facial Care is Crucial

A beautiful beard needs care - regular washing with a beard shampoo is important. Make sure to shampoo the skin under the beard as well. Otherwise, it may itch or become red.

2. Regular Exfoliation Supports Beard Growth

Once a week, you should use a scrub. It removes dead skin cells that otherwise appear as white flakes in the hair. Additionally, the scrub stimulates circulation and can further support beard growth.

3. Beard Oils Ensure Nutrient Supply

Hair also needs care after washing. The same applies to your beard. Beard oil nourishes the hair and prevents it from becoming brittle and breaking.

4. Trim for a Groomed Look

Beard hair grows unevenly and can quickly look unkempt if you don’t trim it. Since each hair has its own growth rhythm, you need to regularly bring them to the same length.

5. Use a High-Quality Beard Brush

Brush your beard preferably daily. This way, skin oil and your beard oil distribute evenly and the hair won’t get tangled. Feel free to check out our high-quality beard brushes.

Grow a Beard or Shave?

Many men are torn: Should I or shouldn’t I? We advise you: Give it a try! When you start growing a beard, you will never achieve a top result overnight.

Expert Tip: Let it grow for a while and care for the beard well. Then, in the next step, you can choose a specific style.

How Can I Make My Beard Grow Faster?

For those who decide to grow a beard, it often can’t grow fast enough. However, hair grows at its own pace. Certain home remedies like castor oil, biotin, silica, or toothpaste are said to help make the beard grow faster. You can read how castor oil can help in this article.

Exfoliations are also said to stimulate circulation and growth.

We think: You can try it, but ultimately, it will be time and your personal hair growth that decides how fast it will go.

How Long Does It Take for a Beard to Grow?

The time it takes to grow a beard varies individually.

On average, beard hair grows about 0.3 to 0.4 millimeters per day.

So, you typically achieve a three-day stubble in three days.

If you want to grow a full beard, you should stick with it for two months. We only call it a full beard once the hair reaches one centimeter.

If you want to grow a chin beard or mustache, the length is roughly similar, just focused on the respective area.
Remember, you don’t just let the beard grow. After about three to four weeks of pure growth, you should trim in between to even out all the hair and achieve a groomed look. Which leads us to the next topic.

My Beard Looks Untidy While Growing: What Can I Do?

Hair grows at different speeds. In other words, beard hair A grows at a different rate than beard hair B or C. To achieve a groomed look with uniform hair lengths, you should regularly trim. This is the only way to grow the beard evenly.

Gaps can also occur during the transition phase while growing out your beard.

Patience helps here: As your hair gets longer, the gaps will close. We also have a great article for you on this topic: Gaps in the Beard

FAQ

How Do I Prevent Itching While Growing My Beard?

Itching during beard growth is normal but can be reduced with proper care. Regular washing, using beard oil or balm, and avoiding harsh or scented products on the skin can help alleviate the problem.

How Can I Make My Beard Grow Downward?

To grow the beard downward, a combination of regular brushing and using beard oil or balm to care for and smooth the hair is recommended. Trimming the sides can help distribute the weight of the beard and promote downward growth. Again, patience is key.

Conclusion

If you want to grow a beard, you need two things: patience and the dedication to care for it. Plan to spend a bit more time in the bathroom in the morning than the two minutes your razor usually takes. Without care, you won’t get a great result!
