01. HANDS OFF
If you want a lush natural beard then you need to curb one disastrous habit how often do you run your fingers through your beard you may do it multiple times per day right but your hands are doing much more damage than you realize just think about your facial hair like a cut on your leg as your cut begins to scab you want to pick at it don't you more than anything you know you do but the more you fiddle with your wound the longer it takes to heal your beard works the same way by running your hands through your beard you're going to damage your hair follicles right now your follicles are short and weak they fall out very easily so each time you scratch rub or pick at your beard you're hurting your hair growth and to make matters worse your hands are covered in oils and bacteria that worsen the quality of your beard train your hands to stay away from your face the sooner you stop touching your beard the quicker your facial hair will grow.
02. SWEET POTATO
Your body supplies your facial hair with a wide variety of vitamins and minerals if you want to grow a beard quickly and naturally, then you have to eat foods that nourish your body you have to foster a strong relationship between your body and your beard if your body has everything it needs then your beard will too so what kinds of food will nourish your body and improve your beard sweet potatoes are a fantastic food for your body and your beard sweet potatoes contain a high volume of beta-carotene after ingesting a sweet potato your body converts beta-carotene into vitamin an according to a 2019 study in the journal Dermatology and therapy vitamin a is one of the most important substances for your body and your hair it stimulates cell growth in many different parts of the body from the lining of your organs to the tips of your beard so incorporate sweet potatoes into your diet both your body and your beard will thank you for it.
03. EGGS OVER SUPPLEMENTS
What do you eat for breakfast each morning if eggs are your go-to protein then you're on the right track eggs are a natural source of a substance called biotin. biotin belongs to a family of vitamins called the vitamin b complex almost all of the vitamins in this category play an important role in your body but the biotin is especially crucial for the growth of your hair studies have shown that biotin deficiencies may trigger hair loss in other words if your body lacks biotin your hair growth begins to suffer while biotin supplements may increase hair growth there's a better way to get your daily dose of biotin all you have to do is change your first meal of the day eat eggs a few times a week and your beard will have all the biotin it needs.
04. EATING SPINACH
Now spinach may not be the tastiest of foods but it's a game changer for your beard spinach is filled with all kinds of important vitamins like calcium and iron calcium keeps your facial hair strong and healthy for longer periods of time according to a 2013 study in the international journal of trichology a calcium deficiency may cause your hair to weaken and turn gray prematurely calcium plays an important role in your body but iron is essential not only is iron the common deficiency in the world it's also a widespread cause of hair loss according to our 2019 study iron deficiencies lead to hair loss in both men and women so why does iron have such a huge impact on hair well the iron in your body produces hemoglobin in your blood hemoglobin is responsible for transporting oxygen throughout your body without hemoglobin your cells tissues and organs couldn't function and your hair couldn't grow hemoglobin supplies oxygen to the cells around your hair your cells use that oxygen to maintain and expand your hair follicles without a steady supply of iron your beard isn't going anywhere luckily spinach is a versatile food that fits anywhere in your diet load a handful of spinach into your smoothies pack spinach inside your morning omelet or make yourself a fresh spinach salad for lunch if you can incorporate spinach into your diet your beard may grow faster and fuller.
05. AN EXTRA HOUR
Facial hair is directly affected by the amount of testosterone in your body if your body creates more of this hormone then your beard may become fuller but how do you increase your body's natural production of testosterone well it's a lot easier than you'd think you don't need pills or artificial supplements all you need is a little extra sleep yeah loss of sleep is a common suppressor of hair growth why well because your body produces most of your testosterone at night while your brain is asleep so how do you boost the amount of testosterone in your body well you start by adding an extra hour to your sleep schedule an extra hour will lengthen the duration of rem sleep which is when your body produces testosterone but be careful not to sleep too much too much sleep can be as detrimental as too little it may not do much damage to your facial hair but over sleeping can really suck the life out of you so if you're sleeping less than eight hours add an extra hour to your sleep cycle and if you're sleeping more than eight hours then focus on the quality of your sleep instead of the quantity by getting eight restful hours of sleep each night your body can produce the beard building hormones you're looking for.
06. BELIEVE IN YOUR BEARD
Mental stress has a major impact on your beard when your beard is short and patchy you may feel self-conscious you may find yourself staring in the mirror morning after morning hating your facial hair you may wish you could shave it all off in your mind your beard looks terrible and that stresses you out you may be convinced your beard will never grow but stress is not doing your beard any favors all kinds of bodily functions are impacted by stress and hair growth is one of the studies have shown that stress is a popular cause of hair loss and stunted hair growth so stop worrying about how your beard looks each day growing a beard is just like learning something new everyone looks foolish in the beginning everyone makes mistakes and everyone fails growing a beard is no different everyone goes through patchy unkempt and frustrating stages so don't worry if your beard doesn't look the way you want growing a beard is a challenge and every challenge takes confidence to overcome believe in your beard and you'll find more success moving forward.
07. CLEAN AND SOFTEN
Do you shampoo your hair every day you spend so much time caring for the hair on your head yet you may neglect the hair on your face the simple truth is your facial hair needs the same amount of maintenance so if you want to grow a fuller beard you need to clean and care for your facial hair your beard will look fuller your beard will grow longer and your hair will come in evenly across your face as an added bonus beard care products may reduce the itchiness and scratchiness of your beard this reduction discourages touching and scratching while soothing irritation on your skin don't wait to start your beard care routine even if your beard is short and patchy it's never too soon to care for your facial hair?
08. PATIENCE
The best way to grow a beard fast and naturally is simply to wait yeah everyone's facial hair grows at a different pace some people have full beards before they turn 18. Other people struggle to grow stubble into their 30s but most men never grow the beard they want because they don't give their hair enough time how long have you gone without shaving for most of us the answer is somewhere around two months why is that because most people get impatient with their beard when it doesn't grow the way they want the first month or two can be especially frustrating your beard looks patchy your right and left sides look uneven all you want to do is trim it down so you at least look presentable but you have to resist any temptation to shave your beard it's uneven and patchy right now yeah but it will eventually grow into the beard you've always wanted it can take years for a proper beard to take shape especially if your facial hair has never been allowed to grow so if you want a full beard then you have to put in your time these tricks and techniques can stimulate hair growth prevent patches and thicken your facial hair but ultimately beards need time and lots of it I wish I could tell you exactly how much time but that's not up to me that's up to your dna in other words in other words time is not something you can control no matter how many tricks you're using so if you want to grow a fast and natural beard then let your body do its thing yeah that may mean a few months of lopsided patches but to grow a full beard you're in it for the long haul so just be patient.
