Facts about growing facial hair
On average, a man's beard growth is about half an inch per month. For some men, the growth length per month will be less, but for some men it can also be more; even more than 2.5 inches per month! The rate of your beard growth is determined by things like your genetic predisposition and your testosterone levels and how sensitive your body is to the hormones that stimulate beard growth.
Take care of your skin
Your hair will grow faster and healthier if the skin on which it grows is clean and properly nourished. It is therefore important to flush excess oil, dirt and grime from the pores by cleansing twice daily - once in the morning, once at night. You can follow this up by using a gentle scrub to brush away any dead skin cells that clog pores and can cause acne. Next, it is wise to lubricate your skin with a nourishing and moisturizing cream or oil to hydrate and condition the skin. All of this should improve your complexion, but will also set the pace for healthier, faster hair growth.
Be sure to drink plenty of water
All body processes will run better and more efficiently when properly hydrated - all the way down to the cellular level. And that's what hair also suffers from: the cells don't regenerate as quickly, and they also don't get enough vitamins and nutrients because the body can't properly distribute these nourishing agents when it's dehydrated. So in addition to a slower beard, a dehydrated person also has a coarser, drier beard. So drink water!
Vitamin B
There are a few B vitamins that can help your hair grow faster. The most common vitamin is biotin (vitamin B7). A small daily supplement already makes you reap the benefits. If necessary, ask your dermatologist about the best dosage for your body.
Drink plenty of water
Drink plenty of water when taking biotin. This prevents dry skin and pimples. Biotin strengthens the proteins in your hair, skin and nails. Biotin helps them all become stronger and grow faster. You will probably notice the use of biotone first in your nails.
What effect does proper nutrition have on beard growth?
In addition to vitamin B supplements, you can promote hair growth with a diet anchored in protein, vegetables, whole grains, cheese and yogurt. This ensures that you get all the right nutrients for firm, efficient hair growth. In addition to protein, you want to focus on foods rich in vitamins A, B, C and E. Here's a shortlist for your next round of shopping: eggs, almonds, whole grains, cheese, yogurt, salmon, chicken, leafy vegetables, carrots, legumes, avocados, onions, sweet potatoes and tomatoes. Round out that list with other nutrient-rich foods, and you should be sending all the right vitamins and proteins into your blood stream for maximum hair growth and strength.
