5 ways to a thicker Beard 🧔🏻

Some have a beard growth that is unparalleled by age 19, while others still hope for their first hairs at 30.

The beard is considered a sign of masculinity.

In this article, I want to enlighten you about some facts regarding beard growth and density and give you some tips for achieving a thicker beard.

Beard Density, Growth, and Age

Beard growth fundamentally describes the density of the beard, while growth refers to the speed.

With puberty, hormones start to surge, and facial hair begins to grow.

However, the journey to a full beard is often still a long one.

It can be said that the development of beard growth is typically completed by around 25-27 years old, although it can take even longer in individual cases.

Beard Growth Speed: How fast does the beard grow?

This question cannot be answered universally.

The speed of your beard growth depends on various factors and varies from man to man. Typically, beard hair grows between 0.3 and 0.4 millimeters daily, similar to head hair.

When does the beard grow the strongest?

For most men, beard growth is strongest between the ages of 18 and 25, so the beard is fully grown by about 25 years old. Giving an exact answer is impossible, as beard growth varies for each individual.

After the age of 30, beard growth may gradually decrease due to a natural decline in testosterone levels.

What factors determine your beard growth?

The development of your beard is primarily linked to hormones. The DHT hormone, which causes hair loss on the head, promotes hair growth on the rest of the body.

Expert knowledge: In fact, men with hair loss often have more beard growth than men with full hair. DHT is a byproduct of testosterone. Therefore, higher testosterone levels often correlate with increased facial hair.

Getting a denser beard: These tips can help

For the most part, your testosterone level is determined by nature, but there are ways to naturally increase it.

These include,

• regularly exercising (especially strength training),
• healthy eating,
• moderate alcohol consumption and not smoking,
• maintaining a good level of Vitamin D 3,
• low stress levels,
• good sleep.

In the end, life usually comes down to the same advice. They demand discipline from us, but we all know: Nothing comes from nothing.

Swallow a pill and shortly after, the beard grows, all without side effects. This is certainly the dream of many men. However, it's not that simple, but there are ways to make the beard flourish where there was none before.

Alternative ways to a denser beard

Minoxidil: Studies have shown that Minoxidil stimulates weak hair follicles and can actually positively influence beard density and growth.

Drawback: the liquid must be massaged into the affected skin daily and can cause skin problems. After discontinuation of the product, the hair may recede.

Beard Hair Transplant: If nothing else helps, this is the most radical way to a fuller beard. Like scalp hair transplants, hair follicles from other parts of the body are implanted into the skin. Cost: 2000€ - 7000€

Testosterone Therapy: Exogenously administered testosterone can increase testosterone levels. This is used in men with testosterone deficiency, often associated with depression and low libido.

Increased testosterone can also stimulate beard growth. The problem is that once external testosterone is administered, the body's own testosterone production shuts down and may never return. In other words, you have to supply testosterone from outside for life.

When does fuzz become a beard?

This is a slowly progressing process that begins as male puberty ends.

For many adolescents, between the ages of 17 and 19, the fine fuzz gradually becomes a firmer beard. However, it cannot be universally said exactly when fuzz turns into a beard.

Make the most of what you have

The methods above may be interesting for some. However, our approach is: make the most of what you have! Is your beard perhaps somewhat irregular or does it have gaps?
