A well-groomed beard is and always will be a real eye-catcher. However, the prerequisite for this is that the hair grows full and without gaps.

Smaller gaps or even holes in the beard can ruin any beard style. But how can you achieve a denser beard? And what can you do about bald spots? All the information about causes and measures can be found in this article.

Possible Causes of Gaps in the Beard

Bald spots in the beard can have various causes. Unfortunately, you can’t do much about all of them. We have summarized the most common triggers for you in the following section.

Bald Spots Due to Genetic Causes

Your beard growth is primarily a matter of genetics. Just like hair color or the tendency for curly or straight hair, the density or weaker beard growth is also hereditary.

Look at your male relatives. If you find weak beard growth among your uncles, grandfathers, or your father, it’s likely that this is the reason for your beard gaps.

Gaps in the Beard Due to Low Testosterone Levels

Testosterone is the most important hormone when it comes to your beard growth and body hair in general.

If you have very little facial hair and also suffer from lack of motivation or fatigue, it might indicate a testosterone deficiency.

If these symptoms apply to you, it might be sensible to make an appointment with a doctor. They can check your testosterone levels and possibly start a treatment.

Age-Related Beard Gaps

With increasing age, the main hair often becomes noticeably thinner. However, beard growth, on the other hand, increases for most men.

Typically, beard growth develops until the mid-twenties but can still become significantly denser by the mid-thirties.

So if you are in your early to late twenties, you still have a real chance that your beard growth will become denser over the years and any gaps will close.

Stress, Poor Diet, and Lack of Sleep

Do you sleep poorly or little and prefer to eat junk food?

Then you shouldn't be surprised by sudden gaps in your beard. Smoking or excessive alcohol consumption can also cause sudden bald spots in the beard and trigger a condition called alopecia barbae.

A healthy lifestyle can contribute a lot to a healthy and full-looking beard.

In particular, exercise has a positive effect on your testosterone levels. Regular workouts at the gym are therefore not only good for your endurance and muscles but also help with beard gaps.

Gaps in the Beard: What to Do?

So how can you make your beard denser? We have some tips for you to help your beard grow thicker.

The Right Care

Often, beard gaps are actually a care problem. If you don’t wash, care for, and comb your beard properly, the hair becomes curly and brittle. Curly, uncombed hair that sticks out in all directions will never look as full as shiny, combed hair. Especially if it becomes brittle.

With the right beard brush and appropriate care products, you can avoid this – check out our shop, we have everything you need! Here you will find a great shaving & beard care set, consisting of beard brush, beard oil, beard shampoo, and beard balm. Here are the beard products.

    Just Let It Grow

    Gaps in beard growth or patchy beard growth can also be the result of overly eager trimming. Beard hair grows quite quickly but usually not evenly. So it may be that you notice gaps, especially at the beginning.

    So let your beard just grow and wait two to four weeks before you start trimming. The growing length will cover or balance out bald spots.

    Fill Beard Gaps with Beard Thickener

    If the above doesn’t help, you can consider a beard thickener. This involves applying hair fibers made of keratin to your own beard. The fibers bond with your real hair and make the beard appear denser.

    The products do not appear fake and can be washed out with shampoo.

    Closing Bald Spots with a Beard Hair Transplant

    A hair transplant is probably only for men who are really serious about it.

    Although there are now many clinics in the country and abroad specializing in such procedures, a transplant is always associated with some risk.

    From a financial perspective as well, a beard hair transplant should be carefully considered.

    Testosterone Supplements for Beard Gaps

    As mentioned before, testosterone levels significantly affect beard growth. This is also why there are many beard wearers who combat a thin beard with testosterone supplements.

    Since testosterone affects not only your beard but also the rest of your hormonal balance and its effectiveness is by no means guaranteed, you should get well-advised by an experienced doctor.

    Color Your Beard

    Indeed, coloring your beard has proven effective. Color adds visual and tactile density. The color makes the hair slightly thicker and more textured. A darker shade also adds visual fullness – the darker the hair, the fuller it looks.

    You can apply the color yourself or have your beard professionally colored by a barber.

    Here you will find a great shaving & beard care set, consisting of beard brush, beard oil, beard shampoo, and beard balm. Here are the beard products.

    Beard Styles for Men with Beard Gaps

    If you don’t have very dense beard hair, you should also be cautious about the type of beard you choose. There are beard styles that are better suited for thin beard hair.

      Goatee: Gaps on the Cheeks Don’t Matter

      If you have gaps in the cheek area, a goatee might be the right choice for you. You concentrate the beard growth solely on the chin area and might achieve a full, dense result there.

      Moustache: Perfect for a Patchy Chin Area

      The same applies to the moustache. If, for example, your chin area suffers from patchy fuzz, then forget it and focus on your upper lip. If the hair there grows full and dense, you have various styling options:

      • from the classic moustache
      • or the twisted moustache
      • to a thinner, French-looking variant.

      Three-Day Stubble: The Classic for Smaller Gaps

      The three-day stubble is perfect for covering up. The short, wild-looking stubble makes gaps less noticeable. Besides the fact that three-day stubble is practical, never goes out of style, and always looks masculine, it forgives almost any weakness in hair growth.

      Conclusion

      If your beard growth is below your expectations, you don’t have to throw in the towel. In addition to proper care, the right beard style is crucial. Don’t blame your beard for not making you look like a certain type, but choose a beard that suits your look!
